Had a great weekend at this property. Plenty of room for us on a mum’s getaway, great zones, some enjoying a spa, some at the beautiful long dining table working on a jigsaw some chilling on the couch. A great venue for a lovely relaxing weekend.

That is so good to hear that despite the poor weather, you still managed to have a great weekend at our property.
We loved our stay at this property over Christmas - it was well laid-out, it was even larger than it seemed in photos, so much room in the outdoor area and just beautiful all round.
Our stay in Rye was absolutely perfect. The house exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation. The highlight, however, was the outdoor area. The pool and spa were incredible. The space was thoughtfully set up and perfect for entertaining. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway.

Thanks for the wonderful review, I’m glad your stay was an enjoyable one. We work hard to make the property welcoming and comfortable so we are very pleased you have found it so perfect for your group.
We had a great time over our Easter break with family staying at this property. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but on saying that the hot tub got a workout. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy and the area was beautiful for some nice hilly walks. Recommended for a relaxing stay!
