Amazing family weekend at beautiful SummerHouse.
We had an amazing family weekend birthday celebration at SummerHouse with 8 adults & 5 children.
The bedrooms were very luxurious and comfortable.
The kitchen in The Old Stables was very well equipped enough for all of us without needing to use the 2nd kitchen in The East wing.
We loved the warm pool area and the inflatables supplied.
The view from the garden room was stunning and we saw a woodpecker and a buzzard and walked under the viaduct to Pensford.
The owners responded instantly to any queries.
We would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outside space.
