We had the best time ever

We had the best time ever! The house is amazing and the host was very responsive. We can’t wait to come back in the summer for our next trip.

Absolutely great experience

Absolutely great experience I stayed at Timberley Farm for a pre Christmas get together, it was the best weekend we could have had. Amazing house with everything we needed including fabulous Christmas decorations with a super large tree! I’d love to return some day.

We had a brilliant weekend away!

We had a brilliant weekend away with all the family! We stayed at Glentworth Hall just before Christmas as a family get together. The house was well-equipped with everything needed to cook a large meal for 22 people. Lots of space for the whole family to enjoy, and share. We will be booking again. Thank you :)

Christmas party at Caer Beris

Myself and a large group of friends stayed at Caer Beris for a Christmas retreat. Our time there was truly magical, even with Storm Darragh hitting us on the first day. Fortunately the team at Group Retreats were incredibly understanding about potential damages to the grounds due to the storm. Once that had cleared though, it was a delight to wander around the manor and really take in the majesty of it. I distinctly remember my friends and I agreeing within moments of entering the manor that we plan to re-book the place for next year. With the entire place dressed up in time for the holidays, it really elevated our experience there and made it one to remember

Fantastic stay in early December at Glentworth Hall. Special thanks to the caretaker for going above & beyond at our extra requests which really meant the world to us! Beds were comfy & the kitchen had literally everything we needed. We will certainly be staying again in the future.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!

I had an absolutely terrible experience .From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the place was not at all what we had expected. The customer service was nonexistent .The photos on the website were completely misleading, creating the illusion of a beautiful, well-maintained retreat space, when in reality, the property was run-down and neglected.The rooms were outdated, and in desperate need of maintenance. It was clear that they hadn’t been properly cleaned or cared for in quite some time. The carpets were stained, the furniture was scratched and chipped, and the bathrooms were grimy with moldy corners. It was honestly one of the least clean places I’ve ever stayed. To make things worse, there was a constant musty odour throughout the house that was impossible to ignore. It made the entire stay uncomfortable. The misleading advertising, lack of cleanliness, terrible customer service, and unjust accusations made for a miserable retreat. I would strongly advise against booking this place—there are far better, cleaner, and more professional options available.

Alward House in Salisbury…

We stayed at Alward House in Salisbury for a weekend to celebrate a 50th birthday. I was a little nervous as couldn't see much history with Alward House, but, was delighted with what we found. Being November, we didn't use the outdoor pool (or hot tub) both are a 4 min walk from the main house. However, the house made up for that in spades. Whilst very original and period, decoration was perfect and in almost new condition, it was warm, perfectly clean and we helped by Duane when we had a couole of questions.Despite having a mad weekend of storms, the wind howling around the house, all were warm, happy and had a great weekend. Reassuring that Sunday morning Duane was checking in that we'd made it through the windy night as locally trees were down and some had power outages.Tempted to return in the summer....

Family weekend ruined.

Rented Fawley Court for special occasion with several family children for a special birthday which had been planned for some time. The weekend was a disaster with no heat in half the house, aga not working , pool and spa cold, games room cold, Kitchen pans, table mats not hygienically cleaned. 16 of the 18 guests left a day early. Waiting to hear back from GR. not worth the 1 star. I am so upset was supposed to be a special 75th birthday party,
