Guests enjoyed the large hot tub, professional kitchen, and the property's suitability for large gatherings.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with guests expressing satisfaction with the level of cleanliness upon arrival. There are no significant complaints regarding cleanliness, indicating high standards are upheld.

The location is highly praised for its tranquility, beautiful surroundings, and proximity to lovely villages and attractions. The property's setting in nature, with views of wildlife and farmland, is a highlight for many guests.

Guests find the beds incredibly comfortable and the rooms spacious. The property offers privacy and communal spaces for large groups. Some guests mentioned issues with heating and a few uncomfortable sofas, slightly impacting the overall comfort score.

The facilities, including a professional kitchen and hot tub, are generally well-received. However, several reviews mention maintenance issues such as plumbing problems and non-functional appliances, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

While guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like welcome bottles of wine and well-equipped amenities, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.

Tucked down a private driveway, you will find your very own barn conversion to enjoy a week-long stay with your family and friends on return from one of many outdoor adventures. Buckholt Stables were originally built in the 1820s to house general livestock and storage, and were out of use for a long period before undergoing major renovation work. This lodge has been beautifully converted revealing a mix of traditional and contemporary style, for a homely feel throughout. Arrive at the large sitting room on entrance, which has an open fire adding warmth to those cold winter nights and a snug area, perfect for reading and enjoying some quiet time to yourself. You will find a large map of the grounds on the wall as you walk down the corridor to the kitchen and views out of the window across the rear of the property. All you need to rustle up hearty meals for the family is in the commercial-style kitchen, or you can hire a professional chef to do the cooking for you.
