The house is an elegant grade II listed country manor incorporating a full size tennis court. The river Nar borders the estate. The house has been lavishly renovated and offers a luxurious venue for large groups. The oldest part of the house dates from the Queen Anne period. It has been decorated in a style sympathetic to its age and offers an ideal environment for celebrations and large family gatherings in an atmosphere of relaxed comfort.

Great

Good location, was not as secluded as I thought with house backing on so we were more mindful of noise from our party. Lots of breakables so would not travel with little children but great for a getaway with friends Checkin was fab and lady who showed us around was very thorough. We felt at home and had a lovely weekend thank you

Family celebration

A lovely, spacious property in a great location for a fabulous celebration of birthdays. Very good communication between hosts and housekeepers who were on hand to greet us, explain everything and to fix any problems should they arise. Everything thoughtfully prepared for our stay and all bases covered from a well equipped kitchen to a fabulous play area in ample grounds for the children. Our dogs were well accommodated too and having the boot room for drying them off and taking muddy wellies off was a boon. With the gorgeous weather, our weekend was truly memorable. Thank you.

Beautiful house

We had a fabulous weekend at The Grange, the house is beautiful, well equipped for large groups/families and has plenty of space. There are lots of bathrooms, mirrors, lovely thick bath towels, 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens plus the Aga. Lots of thoughtful touches for a large party. There is a great games room - only thing to note is that it’s on the first floor so not really part of the main living / communal areas downstairs. We loved our weekend away and would definitely return, thank you!!

Great Stay!

Great property, no one to do reviews whether good or bad, but this was exactly as presented, the welcoming manager was great, took the time to explain everything to us. We were 3 families with kids (13 in all), we truly enjoyed the property and we were not wanting for anything! Highly recommended!

Special birthday celebrations with all the family

The house is wonderful for a large family celebration- masses of room - everything you could need for catering for a large group, and all the entertainment you could possibly need, with the games room, the fabulous garden with children’s play area, tennis court and a garden store with all the games - we made the most of everything and everyone enjoyed themselves. My first impressions the property is close to the main road, personally we felt it was over cluttered with ornaments which we were terrified the children might break so the thought of birthday balloons was abandoned- photos of the property show far less ‘object d’art’! Disappointing the grand piano was not tuned. We think this is fair comment and does not detract from a great time had by all.

70th birthday celebrations

A great place for a group celebration - very roomy, comfortable and well furnished and equipped, with huge gardens. The only very slight downside is some road noise but the secondary glazing blocked it out effectively. Dawn the property manager and Mick were instantly responsive to any small issues we encountered.

Exceeded expectations

Fabulous property. Had a lovely time. It was Christmas time so dining room was decorated to a great standard as was the rest of the house. It was warm and all amenities worked well with no issues at all considering there were up to 24 of us staying. Memorable time. Many thanks

So much space!

We arrived on Friday afternoon and easily found the property thanks to accurate directions. Everything was as described and, as we had been required to detail all sleeping arrangements in advance, everyone settled in quickly. The fact that there had been a miscommunication between owner and manager leading to one bed too few was easily rectified as the manager and his wife are just next door. The children especially enjoyed the outdoor space. Bedrooms were, mostly, comfortable and a good size for parents sharing with their children. The kitchen/dining areas just about fitted 23 of us (we didn’t use the formal dining room with 8 children aged 11 and under!) and the living room areas were perfect for us. We had a good weekend together, thanks!

Great Party House

We had a lovely stay for a dozen of us celebrating a big 80th Birthday. The house is huge and we barely used any of the downstairs living areas. It is extremely well-equipped, you will never run out of cutlery, crockery and utensils. It has an amazing dining room, fabulous grounds including tennis court, and the range of activities on offer are also brilliant. We would particularly recommend Archery which is organised by separate arrangements.

Norfolk for my birthday

We had a group of 22 head up to Norfolk for the bank holiday weekend. The grounds were glorious, the outdoor entertaining area was fantastic looking over the grounds. We booked in for the axe throwing and archery, Sean and his team were so accommodating. The house is spacious, even with 22 guests, it's not crowded. Would absolutely head back.

Lovely stay with friends

We really enjoyed our time at the Grange, and would be happy to stay again. The only thing of note is the gardener showing up without notice, and we could have had teens sunbathing that would have been horrified, and that they were posed to spray the gardens knowing that we had a dog and kids with us. This is really picky, the stay and the house and the grounds and the staff were fabulous. 5 stars.

Why they chose this property

Large house with a huge kitchen double ovens, 2 dishwashers, 2 large firdge/freezers to ensure the home cooking is ambitious in scale and manageable in practice. We also have a large dedicated dining room for the "occasion" dinner as well as 2 large breakfast tables and seating in the kitchen for casual eating and get togethers. With 3 living room areas one with projector TV, one with a library and one with an open log fire and piano there is a room for all moods and tastes. 8 bathrooms with showers and baths makes for a pleasant morning or evening experience and not too many arguments over toothbrushes. Did we mention the games room and the 3 acres of grounds with a tennis court.
