The Chestnuts Reviews

This is a wonderful property versatile for sleeping arrangements, spacious and wellequipped. We had a mixture of generations and it was perfect house for our family celebration. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained and would have happily stayed longer.

Fantastic stay at Chestnuts. So many family activities catered for. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too. Big sized rooms and everything you could possibly need for a fun weekend

Kayleigh

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home. We had a wonderful time and the house was as advertised and very close to local amenities. This was made all the better with very comfortable beds and lovely bedding which created an enjoyable and relaxing sleep.

Trenna

We spent a fabulous weekend at the Chestnuts. The house was amazing with plenty of space for all of us. The garden was an added bonus with hot tub for the adults, trampoline for the kids and bbq for the whole family. Would highly recommend this house and would love to go again.

Nicola

13 of us stayed for my dad's 80th birthday celebration and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! I read a couple of bad reviews about cleanliness and facilities not being 100 which concerned me. I contacted Miranda who is the housekeeper who promptly called me to put any doubts to rest. When we arrived the house was beautiful and absolutely spotless. The facilities were in constant use all weekend apart from air hockey as we could not find the lead. The hot tub was a God send as weather was great. My nephew enjoyed the trampoline, we all enjoyed the pool table and everyone seemed to gather in the large but homely kitchen. BBQ was great Saturday and the fantastically equipped kitchen cupboards came in handy when cooking a roast on Sunday couldn't find a can opener but bought one at local shop and gifted to the otherwise well equipped cutlery drawer

You failed to offer us an alternative weekend so we would never recommend you to anyone

We had the loveliest time while we was away, and made some amazing memories, we could definitely come back again. There were a few things broken or not cleaned properly when we got there but none of this stopped us enjoying ourselves. The only reason I am telling you this is so it can be even better then it already is. The carpet was coming adrift on stairs There was Red wine stain under sofa in living room near mirror Toilet chain loose in bedroom on suite which only has a shower and toilet There was no TV signal in living room Large water mark on puffy in living room The toaster only 1 side works properly The filters in dishwasher hasn't being cleaned There was no chemicals in hottub so by Saturday evening it wasn't very pleasant to use. Amazing things that stood out to us The robes on the beds The comfort of the beds and pillows All the essentials that was in the kitchen bin bags, washing up liquid ect The facilities in the games room The slide was a winner The extra fridge was a massive help We are already talking about booking again for next year, thanks again and we hope that we left everything in the best possible way we could.

There were two problems that weren't huge but The house was cold when we arrived and didn't warm up all evening. We all ended up sitting in the kitchen with the wood burning stove. Also the water pressure was generally very low which made showers unappealing. Otherwise it was a lovely property.

Annette

We had an amazing time at The Chestnuts this Christmas. The house was warm and welcoming, dressed for Christmas. The children aged between 2 13 had plenty to occupy themselves, the slide and trampoline were a great hit! The hot tub was fantastic! There was so much room, the beds were comfortable and the house was well equipped we really couldnt ask for more!

We had an amazing weekend celebrating my husbands 30th birthday. We arrived to a beautiful hamper filled with lovely goodies. The house was clean and had everything we could have possibly wanted. The photos online do not do the house justice! Its beautiful.

The house was beautiful and had so much to keep everyone occupied. The house manager spoilt us with gifts for our main guest who she knew was very poorly terminally and couldnt do enough to make sure our stay was perfect. Perfect weekend in a perfect house! Would love to go back!

Billie

House was great for our group of friends and the dining area was fantastic for a dinner party. House is large and the bedrooms have plenty of room with comfy beds. Overall a great stay and the only thing wed have said at the time was we could have used more cleaning products, toilet rolls etc as we had to buy more. Since our stay we had a claim for 500 to replace the hot tub lid which was quite obviously broken when we arrived. I explained this but the claim was continued against us. Since then weve sent the photo and video evidence of the lid on our arrival which we luckily had. Overall great house for a large group but any damage you notice on arrival ensure you send to Sykes.

A wonderful house for a family gathering. We had fun with the slide, games table, hot tub and trampoline. Super dining room with very large dining table and comfortable lounge. Spacious bedrooms , very comfortable beds and lovely bed linen, towels and robes. A stair gate was requested but there wasnt one. Only one of the two dishwashers worked and the hot water system failed. However Miranda the house keeper was very helpful and arranged for a plumber to attend and he sorted the hot water for us. The plumber noted that the airing cupboard had an immersion heater with dangerous exposed wiring connections and he disconnected it. We had a very enjoyable weekend.

We had an awesome long weekend. There were 15 of us with ages ranging from 570 and everyone had a really great time. There was loads for us all to do.

1010 would recommend staying here. The house is absolutely beautiful. Everything is lovely and clean. Fluffy towels and dressing gowns provided and smelt amazing. Host was very accommodating and went the extra mile to get the house ready for us early. All the beds were really comfortable. Garden, hot tub and trampoline, all great. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!

The house is incredible. Huge amount of space with a massive round dining table and wonderful rooms. My only gripes were that the water pressure was awful and the fire alarm wouldnt stop beeping for the duration of our stay. The property manager did offer for someone to take a look at it to fix it however. Great place to stay as a big group.

Great house for large group, lounge and dining room really spacious. However the shower pressure was really poor especially in one of the ensuites also the front door locking system was difficult to manage. Despite this we had a great time and would recommend for large groups

Claire

We had an amazing stay, so many lovely facilities and little extras, kids loved the slide and the trampoline, games room was great. Enough space for our group of 7 adults, 7 kids and 2 dogs!

We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anyone but there were two things that could have been improved on a little. The temperature was a slight issue as although the thermostat was at a set temperature, the downstairs toilet was absolutely roasting but other rooms were cold so we couldn't get 1 temperature all through the house. The other was the oven. I'm aware that it's difficult using other appliances when you stay at a property however even after reading the instructions in the manual, we couldn't get it to work. It was only because one of us had that oven at home that we could cook anything. I think it would be really good to have slightly more in depth instructions or have someone explain it to you upon check in? The above did not dictate our stay though and we had a fabulous time at a fantastic house.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, WE SPENT A WONDERFUL WEEK

Richard

Beautiful property and great weekend

Christine

The Chestnuts was a wonderful house for all the family, adults and teenagers loved it. Good sized rooms for us all to have space, very comfy beds. Having two dishwashers helped enormously! Kitchen very well equipped, we had such a superb time. A stunning house with so much to see and do in the area.

Nurkamalia

We had the absolute best time at The Chestnuts! The rooms were very comfortable towels and ROBES provided

The property is beautiful all the extras really make it a winner. There is a slide, outside trampoline, bbq, hot tub, gym enough to keep anyone entertained. The rooms are all really big with multiple ensuites throughout the property. Dressing gowns in each room is a winner. The dinning Room has a huge table to fit everyone for an afternoon tea or dinner which makes it special. A few other points when we arrived there was old laundry left in one of the rooms. Some of the bathroom and sinks didnt look like they had been cleaned with dust all in them still. Wasnt the end of the world we werent that bothered but just something that can be considered. We were very happy on the whole. Our only negative was that the location of the house is situated on a road in between two houses. We found this a problem as soon as we arrived the neighbours were out in the street questioning what we were going to be doing at the house which we found strange and a bit intimidating. We then received a noise complaint at 930pm. It feels like the neighbours are not happy with the house being there and will complain with any noise even when a silent disco is happening.

Patricia

We had a wonderful stay over the Easter weekend. There was something to do for everyone. We were 3 generations all of whom had plenty to do. The owners had obviously put a lot of thought into what entertainment guests would enjoy. However, it was disappointing that the pool & hockey table were broken. There was also a smashed window in the conservatory, low down which we had not been warned about. Perhaps this should have also been taped up. The dining room table was very special. We were all able to sit round comfortably and enjoy our meals. Beds very comfortable. Showers, had better. Perhaps the roses need a clean? We would certainly go again and recommend to others. Thank you lots of happy memories created. P.S. It would be useful to have a list of what might be needed. e.g. Extra bin bags, dishwasher tablets. etc.

Victoria

We had such an amazing time over the weekend in this cottage, it was perfect for our group of 14 super clean on arrival, the rooms were super cosy and the hot tub was amazing. The amount of facilities in this house is amazing and the added bonus of the slide just topped it off. We would 100 recommend to anyone staying here of all different ages or occasions it was an amazing time.

Our stay at the chestnuts was brilliant from start to finish. The house is amazing, the beds were so comfortable.. The only one downside was the pressure in the showers were not very good but that does not effect my rating. The games room was used alot along with the slide down to the basement! I would definitely book this again. Peterborough Town centre is nice, we took a trip into the shopping centre and there was plenty there with plenty of places to eat. It was about a 10 minute drive away

Patricia

Such a beautiful house. Full of character and beautifully furnished and equipped. It was my husbands 70th birthday celebration with our daughters and their families and so was important to have something for everyone and you certainly delivered. The grandchildren loved the slide what a brilliant idea and the adults made use of the hot tub and table tennis. Then evenings in the cinema room or playing board games in the lounge. Shame the pool and hockey table was broken as we had planned a family tournament. But it didnt distract from having a lovely family holiday.

We stayed here for a week for a family get together. The house had a lovely atmosphere with great quirky features. All the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and large with very comfy beds. Even though there was twelve of us staying ranging in age from 9 weeks to 65 it never felt crowded and you could always find a quiet nook to relax if you wanted. We had great fun and the hot tub and games table were used everyday. The fixtures were a little tired but given the age of the house this is to be expected. Although the water was extremely hot the water pressure to the showers is very poor. We stayed here with three children age 5,6 and 10 and they loved the slide to the basement. They never complained of being bored once during the stay! The weather was a little inclement most days but it gave us an excuse to stay in and enjoy the house and light the log fire in the kitchen and have lots of chats and giggles round the table. We did explore the area and visited a number of places. The highlight for the children and my daughters was a trip to Harry Potter world which was about an hours drive away. We had the benefit of cars during our stay so did not use public transport so cannot comment on this. The house is in a residential area close to a main road. The garden is not overly big and is overlooked but there is a hot tub and large trampoline for the children. The gym in the garage was used daily by members of the family although I am ashamed to say not by me! Should we wish to stay in the area in the future I would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you to Miranda for answering my queries before we arrived and for the lovely welcome pack on arrival. We did not meet the owners or a representative during our stay but could call them in the event if an emergency. The key collection was very easy.

Really enjoyed our stay. No real issues.

Elizabeth

A beautiful property. We had everything we could possibly need. Comfy beds and the dressing gowns were a lovely touch. Loved the slide. Would definitely recommend

Such an exceptional stay at The Chestnuts. The house was beautiful and umbelievably well stocked! The rooms were luxurious and comfortable and the hot tub and slide were a wonderful touch. Thank you, can't wait to stay again next year!

Excellent, definitely has the wow factor, we all loved it and the house feels very comfortable, loved the cinema room , the young ones thought the slide was brilliant, and the hot tub was so relaxing, would love to go again.

Elaine

Great house, very comfortable and warm, quality furnishings and decor, the hidden slide was fun. A few additions would benefit future guests, ie another kettle, more mugs, better water pressure, outside lights above hot tub, board games and playing cards, a working tv in lounge. Beautiful house and gardens, stunning dining table

Lindsay

A lovely week's stay with a house full of family in a beautiful historical house, highly recommend

The house is absolutely fantastic. We loved everything about it. The beds are the comfiest Ive ever slept in and there were sweet touches like leaving a bathrobe for each guest on the bed. Highly recommend!
