This is just to say waht a brilliant weekend we have just passed in your wonderful house. From the moment you drive through the gates, through the beautifully kept gardens, there is wow factor. With all the facilities provided we hardly moved from the house and enjoyed every moment. Everything about the house has been restored to such a good standard and style. Many thanks

You have the most wonderful house and were so welcoming and relaxed when showing us round. I’ve stayed in several country houses before and this was truly leagues ahead of the rest!

You have refurbished The Grange impeccably well: understated style and comfort and – heavens above – in glorious good taste as well! It was a pleasure to be greeted and yet left alone, the atmosphere was immediately relaxing and the facilities ideal.

From the moment we arrived at the house we knew our stay would be simply perfect…the house surpassed our expectations. Your relaxed, informal style meant we really felt at home and the house worked beautifully for our wedding, making the first days of married life truly memorable.
