Home House Reviews

Tony
Charming accommodation in lovely grounds.
Baerbel
We had a wonderful stay in 'Home House'. The cottage was very clean, tidy and spacious, with a choice of kitchens and gardens! The owner is very kind and friendly and left a lovely surprise to welcome us. The village and surrounding countryside are beautiful, and there are two pubs within walking distance. I honestly can't fault this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Would definitely book again.
Ned
Beautiful cottage some things need to be updated
Kelly
House full of character, lovely warm welcome on arrival with cream tea, very well equipt kitchen, swimming pool was great as was games room, wild goose pub just down road was amazing, We enjoyed our holiday as its what you make it,we paid a lot of money for this holiday and we felt a bit overpriced.
Kevin
A beautiful house in a great location. I couldnâ??t quite grasp the size before arriving but it feels huge. The addition of the pool is great - the kids loved it. Iâ??d definitely recommend it.
Darren
We had a lovely time at Home House, Jill and Nigel were very welcoming and we loved the little touches such as cream tea on arrival. House was clean and tidy and full of character. Great local pub with good food just a short walk from the house, and another by the water within walking distance. Our daughter had a great time in the swimming pool, she struggles with crowds so having a pool to ourselves really helped her improve her swimming skills.
