A great house for our large family celebration. Well equipped and very clean. We were grateful for the large supply of firewood as we needed to light the fire in the evenings as the house became quite drafty and chilly as the temperature dropped. It’s a shame that the fireplace in the dining room was not in use - we would have liked to have stayed in there longer after dinner but it was just too chilly. I’m glad the weather was quite mild while we were there!
The setting was beautiful and very natural. The accommodation was full of character, the original style of the property was beautifully retained. There was plenty of space for our party of 16 and the house was warm and very well equipped. I must compliment the housekeeper, she was excellent, very responsive in all communications.
The holiday was a birthday celebration. There were 19 altogether including an active bunch of grandchildren so the tennis court and ping pong came in very useful with tournaments. One point I must make is the court badly needs jet washing as the sides are mossy The house itself was despite its size very homely and was very well equipped for such a number Everyone’s favourite room was the dining hall which easily seated all of us. Candles were provided for our use and lots of photos were taken It was truly a memorable few days
We had a big family get together for a major birthday. The house was very well equipped with a dinning room big enough for all 20 of us to eat together. Everything was great!
Such a beautiful house and surrounding area! It was everything and more we could have asked for an early Christmas getaway with friends! We visited on a snowy, cold weekend and were thankful for the logs given so we could get the fire going! Each bedroom was beautifully presented. Great communication with the host and housekeeper throughout. Have already recommended the property to others and hope to return!
Property was excellent. It was just right for a mixed family party : quite grand but not so palatial that you were in fear of touching anything . Only drawback the rear steps out into the garden need a hand rail . With nothing to hold onto ,I fell down the steps : no real injury and I am unsteady on my feet anyway but not lame as such . Could have been much worse ! We had a fabulous time and weather was perfect for our BBQ .
Everything in order, a very pleasant stay. The owner was very accommodating.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay and catered for all our needs loved it there were 18 of us staying for our 50th wedding anniversary and staying here was an amazing family experience making many wonderful memories
I booked this to accommodate all my children and grandchildren to celebrate my 70th birthday. It was absolutely perfect. Everyone had their own bed (children) or bedroom (adults). Delicious welcome basket, plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware so we never had to wash up before a meal. Amazing outside space with plenty for the children to explore. We ate outside every evening and saved the dining room for board games and puzzles. Close to beach, shops etc.
What a lovely place! It was amazing, cozy winter weekend. House is beautiful, well equipped and very warm. I will definitely come back in summer time. The housekeeper is very helpful person. I forgot to take few items from house. She posted it all on the next day!!! Honestly 5 star place. Worth every penny.
A great large house, perfect for a family reunion. Exactly as detailed on websites. Clean and very well equipped. Only disappointment was the condition of the tennis court, but the weather prevented us from playing anyway!
We had trouble finding the key safe when we arrived. Eventually found it in a dark outbuilding. Unable to light the fire in the large sitting room - it just smoked. Seemed to be blocked. Also, about 8 pages were missing from the Information file. Left a note for the Housekeeper’s information. Apart from that we had a wonderful weekend. We and all the family loved the accommodation, the grounds and the facilities. The hamper was much appreciated as was the delivery of fish and chips by the Housekeeper on our first evening. This was a celebration weekend and it was wonderful. Thank you.
The quality of both accommodation and setting was the highest. Our family of 20 felt welcome and comfortable as well as impressed by this lovely house. We enjoyed the walks and convenience of interesting visits round about. The younger members have decided its to be a "tradition" so you may see us again.
Great fun, beautiful setting and good support by manager.
This property was really lovely . Everything we needed was there really comfortable clean and pretty . Loved it was a great place for a great get together.
We had a fantastic long weekend at the Old Rectory and Coach House, and would definitely recommend it as a country escape. We were a large mixed group with 1 toddler and 3 under 1's. The house and grounds were perfect for relaxing in on a warm summer weekend. The owner was extremely easy to deal with and responded quickly to any of our queries.
We had a fabulous weekend in this stunning property. Beautiful grounds. The diningroom was perfect when decorated for a 50th Birthday celebration.
The property is very spacious and in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay, the kids loved all the space as well. We thought it needed a little maintenance on the fixtures and fittings just to make it 5 stars.. Rural Retreats were very responsive with their communication. The 48 hour hold was very useful to agree place and dates with a large group.
I was with family and friends and to have everyone together under on roof was wonderful. The weather was great and so made good use of the outside space. However I was disappointed at the cleanliness of the houses. Very dusty with lots of cobwebs.
