This was the perfect stay for a large group of friends (plus baby), with plenty of space and welcoming hosts. Sarah was very helpful before we arrived and gave us a very thorough tour to help us settle in. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked. We definitely would stay again!

Fun family getaway!

We had an amazing 3 days/2 nights away at The Old Rectory which was perfectly facilitated by Sarah and her fantastic property. There was plenty of space to do whatever we wanted - swim in the pool, play table tennis in the games room, play boules and walk the dogs in the grounds, have nice dinners in the kitchen and dining room and play games in one of the three lounges. Everything that we could have possibly needed was provided and helped to contribute to a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Sarah for being a great host and letting us stay in your lovely home! Highly recommend!

Amazing venue

We stayed over the Christmas period with all of the family and the house was just perfect. Sarah and Kim were there to greet us and made us feel very welcome. The house was decorated for Christmas and was absolutely spotless and very comfortable. The house had everything we needed, a formal room where we could all be together and also lots of cosy snugs. The grounds were also well kept and we enjoyed walking around the garden. Would highly recommend the house to anybody wishing to find somewhere for a large group in a character property.

We had an utterly fabulous stay at the Old Rectory. We stayed with family over our wedding weekend and it made for a really special weekend with family in a gorgeous setting making lots of fabulous memories.Nothing was too much trouble for Sarah and Kim, and we were really encouraged to make ourselves at home and to enjoy the house as own own.The house was very well stocked with everything we could need or think of. A chef came in to cook a nice lunch for us and the kitchen was brilliantly equipped and dining room beautifully laid.All in all we had a brilliant weekend and would not hesitate to recommend the Old Rectory to others.
