Laura

We loved this place! The house fit our family perfectly, from the little ones to the grandparents. The location was spot on, with stunning views. Plenty of space for everyone and that swimming pool was a real highlight. We'll definitely return!

Emma Parker

We had an amazing weekend at Stafford House celebrating my husband's birthday with the whole family. Our group ranged from 9 to 70 years oldand there was plenty of space for everyone to have their own quiet moments when needed. We absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub and sauna after a day of fun. The large kitchen made it easy to sit together for meals, which was really lovely. The house was perfect for games too - volleyball, dodgeballand races kept us all entertained. All in all, a fantastic place for a family getaway, we'd definitely come back!

Emma Clark

We recently stayed at Stafford House for a family get-together and honestly, it was perfect. The location is spot on, close to everything we neededand the house itself is really spacious - the master suite is a real treat! The Christmas decorations were tasteful, not over the topand the pool and hot tub were a big hit with everyone, including the dogs. All in all, a fantastic spot for a family break. We'd definitely come back!

Sarah

We had a fantastic family holiday in this property. Arrival was really straightforward, the place was super clean - and we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack. The location is great (though the steep walk back from the beach was a bit much for my elderly parents), the living areas and kitchen were brilliantly spaciousand the pool and sauna were a huge hit! We would definitely recommend this property and hope to be back again one day! Thank you!

Mark

The house is beautiful, really large but still very homely and its facilities and amenities are excellent. The owners have made sure it is a property for larger groups to enjoy while also allowing for some privacy. We were 6 adults and 4 children aged 3 and underand everyone had a fantastic time during our week at this property. Some of the adults had to handle work responsibilities during the week, but it was easily accommodated within the facilities without interrupting those working or those enjoying their holiday!

James

We had a fantastic week at Stafford House, even though the weather tried its best to ruin it. The house was warm and inviting when we arrived, complete with a lovely Xmas tree in the lounge. Honestly, we were never cold in the houseand all 11 of us had plenty of hot water. The pool and spa bath were a lifesaver, especially with the January weather. The location is brilliant, too! We could easily walk to the Pier House venue for our New Year celebrations, though the walk back is rather steep!

Oliver

We had an excellent house and stay with easy access to loads of places. The pool was a great bonus for our younger guests!

Clara

We really loved the location - although it would be even nicer if the neighbour's trees were pruned a bit. The house was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was great. The swimming pool was enjoyed by everyone and it's definitely a real bonus. There were a few issues that took some time to get sorted out. Overall, we had a fantastic time there!

Lisa

What a stunning house for a family holiday! The downstairs bedroom and en-suite were just perfect for our disabled mum. The pool facilities kept our 3-year-old granddaughter entertained for hoursand we loved the sauna as a real bonus. The views are breathtakingand there are great pubs and restaurants nearby. The gardens felt really secure for our dogsand the house was warm and cozy, especially since the weather was really warm on some days. We would definitely recommend this house! What a fantastic holiday!

Emily

This place was incredible, everything about it was just superb! We will definitely return, it really made my birthday extra special.

Emma

This property was just excellent. It had everything we needed and all our guests were really impressed!
