"This house is incredible. The check-in, arrival details, and activity details are clear and helpful. The property is large, well maintained, warm, and perfectly situated. We were a group of academics holding a small workshop. There were plenty of spaces for private work, a large table for our workshop, and an excellent kitchen for cooking large meals. We also really enjoyed the games room for evening activities. "

"Room was very good - clean and spacious and it was good to have a bath in the ensuite and not just a shower. All the staff were helpful, courteous and friendly. A nice touch was the provision of mulled wine and mince pies each evening"
