Guests Reviews
“We stayed at Abbey House for three nights — 22 of us for a 70th birthday celebration — and can absolutely recommend it. The house is enormous with nine bedrooms, a loft, and countless lounges, and the hot tub was a welcome addition. A super venue for a large family gathering.”
“I stayed here for my hen do and couldn't have wished for a better venue — the photos don't do this house justice, it is absolutely beautiful. The pool was even heated enough to use in the rain, and the host was so helpful and responsive. Could not recommend this house enough!”
“Great period property in beautiful settings. The house is gorgeous with swimming pool and jacuzzi the cherry on top. The gardens, kitchen, and living rooms were all amazing — highly recommended.”
“Had a great time staying at the location. Would definitely come back.”
“Great stay! Very beautiful house and looks even better in person. Would definitely recommend.”
“A fantastic location for a large family get together. Great weather meant we could make full use of the pool, and the kitchen facilities were excellent with everything you could ask for. We had a really great stay at Abbey House.”
“The house felt grand — we loved to retire to the drawing room after dinner, and the formal dining room made meal times feel very special. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped, and the swimming pool felt wonderfully warm for April. A great house to celebrate a 70th birthday with family and friends.”
“We spent the weekend for my 30th here - the property was beautiful and so convenient to get to from London.”
“Took my colleagues for a two day strategy break and perfect location.”
“This property was ideal for us. We were celebrating a big birthday and couldn't have asked for a better set up. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful, the pool is a dream and everything is very well set up to cater for a large group.”
