My party of 20 and I stayed at Alward House Friday 20th-22nd September for my 30th birthday and it was honestly so perfect. The property is massive and we couldn’t even use all of the living rooms! The rooms are all so spacious and it’s a beautiful period property. I would definitely recommend. We made use of the ping pong table and tennis court but didn’t get the opportunity to use the pool due to our own itinerary. The kitchen is also fully stocked with all the utensils you could need. The caretaker, Ross, was also on hand at any time we needed help so that was very much appreciated. The only minor downsides were that because it’s a period property, there aren’t very many ceiling lights, so it gets quite dark inside at night, but in some ways it created a nice ambience. There are also no bins in any of the bathrooms, so you have to carry everything downstairs with you a lot more frequently than you might normally. We had also assumed the pool was in the back garden but it seemed it might be a communal space for other properties as it was at the beginning of the entrance of the drive which was a bit of a walk away. Overall I would definitely recommend, and have done so already!
