Fabulous building in a beautiful peaceful setting on the estate of Weston Park - spectacular! We especially loved the magnificent orangery and the circular sitting room with its painted walls and ceiling. The staff on the estate were super-helpful and responsive to requests - sun umbrellas for the outdoor table? a whisk needed in the kitchen? They arrived within a couple of hours. Tip for future visitors - it's worth knowing beforehand that there is no ground-floor loo, and there are a lot of steps up the narrow spiral staircase to the top bedroom, only accessible by going down to the basement and up again!

This was a wonderful discovery with a tranquil setting and a house that invites you to relax. The facilities are excellent. The kitchen is very well appointed as is the laundry and bathroom. The choices of where to enjoy each others company or to find a secluded spot to read or nap are numerous. The walks around the gardens are peaceful. The stairs could be a little bit of a challenge but we were well aware of them when booking. Overall one of our favourite ever holidays.

What an amazing place, cannot recommend enough. Felt like we were living in a Jane Austen novel, beautiful house where you feel like you have stepped back in time but you still have all the modcons. Very well equipped kitchen and lovely little welcome hamper, we also loved the snug downstairs with lots of board games and big tv for the kids. The best part was just stepping out the front door and into the beautiful estate parkland, which you got all to yourself first thing in the morning and evening. The kids loved the big adventure playground with zip lines and the miniature railway and having so much space to ride their bikes through the woods and fields. Would also highly recommend the Granary restaurant which is on site and a couple of minutes walk from the house, we had a great breakfast there a couple of times during our stay. We will definitely be returning.

From the drive through the grounds, to stepping into the Temple with table lamps lit and music playing on every floor, what a lovely welcome. We spent a week enjoying the splendour of the whole setting and were blessed with lovely weather too. We sat in the Orangery and watched the sun setting and then retired to the snug. We couldn't have wished for more and were sad to leave at the end of the week. The whole place is special.

Exactly as advertised, this is an outstanding and very special accommodation. We were a party of 5 and just loved it - the space, the architecture, the privacy ... Huge, very comfortable beds, nice linen, kitchen perfectly equipped.Would have loved to stay longer! When we strolled in the park, it felt as if it belonged to us - just two old ladies with their dogs around, and a very friendly gardener who's been working there for 50 years! (We were there during the week) If I had to mention anything that is not quite so wonderful (apart from the steep and winding staircase which we were well aware of), it would be the en-suite bedroom on the 1st floor (which we had) which, in comparison to the 2 grand and beautiful other bedrooms, is on the small side (you just manage to get around the huge bed), rather simple in design and with a (very low) window we didn't dare open for fear it might get stuck. The wash basin in the adjacent toilet/ bathroom was ridiculously small for my husband who does a wet shave. And an old wooden floor which, for a wet room, may not be the best choice. But these are minor drawbacks - the overall experience, whether sitting in the kitchen around the circular centre work top, in the period lounge or the majestic winter garden with sweeping views of the park, was a wonderful one.
