Fantastic location on a working farm estate with friendly & helpful people. The house is beautifully presented with lots of thoughtful touches for all age groups. It was comfortable & roomy.

Free daily access to the Himalayan gardens was a welcome bonus, as were the hot tub & heated pool. Would love to stay here again. Hide

Our large extended family of 16 had a very comfortable stay in this spacious house. The house was well decorated and furnished and the kitchen very well equipped. There were little extras such as a range of books in each room, that made this house stand out. The availability of the pool and tennis court at the neighbouring Minterne estate were a grRead moreeat hit with the children as were the large garden and hot tub.
