Summary: We were a family group of 14. Eight Adults and six kids with ages between 6 and 11. This was a perfect house for our annual family holiday. The house is large with plenty of space for the active kids, and those looking for a peaceful corner. It also turned out to be the perfect place for a kids treasure hunt. The snooker table was a hit with everyone. We had lovely evenings together in the large hall. With snooker, a few drinks and a log fire. Perfect! The garden is massive with something for everyone. A lawn large enough for football and cricket, plus lots of 'wilder' areas for exploring. The surrounding estate has some nice walks and beyond that the countryside is beautiful.
