A wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay, ages 6-75! Perfect for everyone. Equipped with everything you need. 2 dishwashers with lots of people is a godsend. We enjoyed the open fire and the generous supply of wood. Would highly recommend

The most wonderful weekend
This property is just amazing. Full of character and charm and so very well suited to the large group that we were. From under 2’s to grandparents in their 80’s, it was spot on Offering high chairs, potty’s, travel cots and plastic child friendly plates etc, as well as swings and garden toys, our great niece and nephew were very well catered for The house is full of nooks and crannies, so it was easy to find a quiet spot to sit and read or have forty winks! And what can we say about that fabulous kitchen? Drawer after drawer and cupboard after cupboard of gadgets and everything you’d ever need to cater for large groups Honestly, we’ve had the best weekend! Thanks Bloom Stays and thanks to Rupert and Madlin Sadler for opening up their home x

Just spectacular - ticks all the boxes
We are a group of university friends who meet annually for a long weekend with our families. The property was just fantastic: clean, loads of character, gorgeous setting and well equipped. We will be back most definitely!
