  We were a group of 19 people (family with ages ranging from 3 to 72).

  The house was very convenient with multiple spaces for the different age ranges to occupy but also to convene as one. When doors were closed it felt as though areas were sound proofed which was a god send! The swimming pool may have been small but the younger kids loved it, as did the the others when swimming against the current. A lot of time was spent on the pool table and playing table tennis. The garden patio was smashing with plenty of space for everyone to chill and hang out. The hot tub was a complete added bonus. There was a separate garden for younger children with a trampoline and swings too. Lots of wildlife to see, including teeny frogs and a bird of prey! (We think it was a falcon) living spaces were comfortable and cosy, we would hang out in the conservatory in the evening with the doors open. The kitchen was completely kitted out, so able to save a fortune by eating at home. Beware this option with 19 takes up a lot of time and energy! I would recommend cleaners and an online shop ready on arrival. Lots of space for parking cars, completely private. The week was so much fun. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. Any criticisms? - place is dated and not all the windows would open. Situated on a busy road so not handy to go out for walks. Would be better with black out blinds. All in all I would recommend, a family friendly place.

  What a wonderful weekend we spent at this mansion made perfectly to fit our extended family.

  We filled every bedroom and had 19 of us ranging from 2 to 88 years. It was everything we could have wished for to entertain us all. The snooker table was in constant use and perfectly placed to ensure everyone could join in as competitor or observer. The pool was a hit for solo use, or with a crowd in with the kids. While that was busy, just a few could escape to the quieter hot tub and enjoy the wonderful weather we were lucky enough to have. We managed a lunch out on the patio, where there were plenty of chairs and tables to fit us all. Shame we couldn't BBQ but who knew the weather was going to be so good this early in the year. It was great to have completely enclosed safe gardens for the kids to run around in. The kitchen was perfectly equipped to cater for us all and we used it to capacity. Great to have 2 dishwashers and the huge belfast sinks. More dishcloths/ scrubbers a request and a bread knife. The fridge capacity was fantastic and the oven, hot cupboard, grill combo perfect for us all. Although we didn't spend much time in the bedrooms they were comfortable, spacious, fantastic to have ensuites for everyone. Thanks so much for wonderful hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this luxury break for a larger gathering than normal!

  One of the few premises I have been in where the photographs on-line don't do justice to the size of this property. Bright, comfortable and well fitted, and impressive interior design. The hamper provided was also very good. Staff on the estate were friendly, helpful and cheerful. Food in the restaurant was very good, and the cafe was very pleasant Loss of a star for the following issues. We rarely felt warm in the bathroom, and adjustment of the temperature was too complex for this technophobe. Also, as the shower has an open end, it ***** in cold air, so it wasn't a comfortable experience. First use of it, on full, resulted in flooding part of the bathroom. It therefore wasn't possible to have it on full. I felt the heavy shutter screen provided to give some privacy across the front door, could be considered a hazard in the event of attempting to escape a fire. Wouldn't vertical blinds be better? They can also be drawn across. One of the exterior lights, at the bathroom end, is low and I banged my head on it. The two either side of the front door are higher, so why not this one? Finally, the A5 road is alongside, and although it did not affect our sleep I can see that in summer, sat on the terrace the noise could intrude.

  We have stayed previously in 2017 and a couple of issues still are outstanding as mentioned by several people in the visitors book. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. One we consider to be dangerous The wooden privacy door screens. I have mobility issues and when alone in the Potting Shed found them difficult and unsafe to move - easily able to topple ( 5 broken hinges) and cause a serious injury.Even my husband found them unwieldy and cumbersome. The underfloor heating in the very large bathroom was not switched on but was eventually sorted, however it does not remain on and the bathroom is very cold without it, pulling in a draught to the open ended shower. That being said the place is prisitine and lovely to stay in. The grounds are a bonus and well kept. Just a note to say that the Deli is no longer in the grounds and we feel this is such a shame because it was very handy for picking up fresh goods and we missed its coffee shop area too, so bring back the Deli and its coffee shop!! Using the Granary Brasserie for breakfasts and as a coffee area doesn't work. Kind Regards
