A good time ...
Great party home with all the amenities in good surroundings.
-
A great stay despite the weather!
Unfortunately the weather for our trip was appalling but we need not have worried as we could easily keep ourselves entertained in the house – the snug was perfect for settling the kids down with a movie in the evening so we could have adult time and the pool was a real treat! -
Fabulous
As we drove away our children were immediately asking when they can go back! A sign of a great holiday. We had a fabulous time getting lucky with the heat wave. The scenery is beautiful, the house so well designed and thought out and the hosts were so welcoming on arrival. Thank you!
-
Brilliant
We stayed as a large family group and had a brilliant time. The children barely left the pool and we could easily have stayed another week.
-
Couldn't fault it
Wow. What a beautiful home. The design is stunning, it has everything you could possibly want on hand and is in the picturesque countryside – very welcome when you are used to city life! Can’t fault it.
-
Amazing
We feel we must write to say a big thank you for your kind attention to detail and friendly efficient service during our booking for New England Mansion last weekend. What an amazing house it is and our family of twelve enjoyed every minute. It is the perfect family gathering house with plenty of space plus the indoor pool and games room.
We will certainly check out your website when next we plan a family occasion. We were so lucky this time to squeeze in our trip before all the ‘no unnecessary travel’ and over 70s to self isolate advisories came into force. We all had a wonderful time. Daniel the owner was charming too. -
Impressive
What a house! We took our family of 12 from 2 year old to my elderly parents and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. To outside space is fabulous and the pool very well maintained. There was lots to keep the children entertained including the huge TV and games and toys. We will be back as the house had so much we could enjoy together as a family. Truly impressive, thank you.
-
Great!
Great place, everything we needed. Felt relaxed and homely!
-
One of a kind.
The property far exceeded our expectations. This is a one of a kind holiday home and we wish we had booked for longer. Absolutely stunning.
-
A fabulous stay
Just a thank you for such a fabulous stay in December. We could not believe how impressive the house was, even more so with the beautiful Christmas decorations, we felt thoroughly spoilt. Despite the terrible weather we all were easily occupied indoors with the games room, pool and cinema style TV. The kitchen was well equipped and it was lovely to have space to dine as a large family together. We will be booking again.
-
Wonderful
It was a wonderful escape for the weekend, the house was perfectly situated and we enjoyed the walks and Wickham too. It’s a shame we did not get time to explore further but the house was too good to not spend time in! A particular note on the décor which was exactly as pictured, the house was so cosy and comfortable and we couldn’t have picked a better place for our get together.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
