Thorneybees House Reviews

Lovely property, excellent amenities. Friendly and welcoming hosts.

Claire

Brilliant weekend for 4 generations 2 dogs. House was perfect, in a very peaceful location. Everything had been thought of to make this a luxurious home for the weekend. Mandy and John were great hosts and so helpful , making us feel very welcome. A lovely touch was the welcome hamper, really appreciated. We would love to return.

Fantastic few days away at Thorneybees House, great way to get the family all together perfect size dining room and kitchen, lovely bedrooms, large garden space with plenty of garden game equipment and everyone enjoyed the hot tub and the Games room! Excellent location for walking to the village along the canal, or for exploring further afield. What a wonderfully relaxing break, it was great to wake up in the morning to the sound of the birds. If you are looking for a great house for up to 10 people, look no further than Thorneybess you wont be disappointed!

The property was comfortable and homely. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Large open garden and kitchen area with bifolding doors. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. They were happy to facilitate any requests. The bedrooms were comfortable and the boys had fun in the games room Lovely stay would definitely recommend this cottage

Johanna

Lovely quirky property, great location. Hot tub was especially good and relaxing. Owners were very accommodating and friendly. We loved the welcome hamper.

Christine

Catherine

Mandy and Jon are great hosts. The house was very comfortable, clean, and with plenty of activities hot tub, indooroutdoor games, pool table, etc! My family really enjoyed it and didn't want to leave so soon. We hope to be back in the future.

Lovely property. Clean, spacious and a great venue for family gatherings. Couple of challenging points Access is by a single dirt track and slow approach needed as you have to reverse for any oncoming vehicles. Once youre in the house its superb, but WiFi and poor phone signals are something to be aware of. Aside from that its honestly so lovely. Hot tub is top notch, great large fridge and freezer. Wine cooler and all things good in the kitchen. We all had a lovely time.

It was one of the best experiences Ive had so far. The house was clean and renovated. The garden was big and lawned. The landlady and landlord were so nice and lovely. Will definitely be back next year.

My only feedback is to thank Mandy and Jon for allowing us to share their wonderful property. They were great hosts and Thorneybees ticked all the boxes for a wonderful 70th birthday celebration with my family. I would, and will, recommend this property to anyone who will listen!

Kayleigh

Property was beautiful. The garden was perfect for us to host some lawn games and hot tub time. We spent the weekend here for a friends hen weekend after being let down by loads of other properties because it was a hen. But Mandy was extremely accommodating and was literally a phone call away and even cooked some food for us when we were having nibbles which made a amazing help for us and some peckish hens! The kitchen was amazing size and facilities perfect! i would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved the house and would definitely recommend it to people looking for a quiet getaway! Going to miss the hot tub

Louise

We booked Thorneybees for a girlie weekend to celebrate my sisters 40th and it was great. Amazing property with lovely hosts who were on hand to answer our queries both before arrival and whilst at the house. The house is so well equipped with everything we needed. We were extremely lucky with the weather and so made the most of the gorgeous garden and hot tub. We would definitely return. Thank you to Mandy and John for making us feel so welcome and for the lovely welcome hamper. Our only suggestion would be to maybe have a sign saying this way to Thorneybees house as you go over the canal bridge so you know you are heading the right way!

Kenneth

What an amazingly unique location and property! If you were looking for somewhere away from the hustle and bustle, but with a town a matter of minutes away in a car this is it. Beautifully kept contemporary house and garden with well thought out facilities and layout for large groups. The very friendly owners make themselves available to answer any questions immediately, and even pop round if you need help with anything, brilliant. We had sunshine throughout our stay which meant a glorious walk to the pub, but even if it had rained this house can still cheer you up I'm sure. Thoroughly recommended.

Callum

Myself and a group of friends 9 total had a fantastic long weekend at the property. Plenty of space in the kitchen to prepare large meals for everyone, with dining space to match. The beds were very comfy and the house was certainly at a modern standard. The hosts Mandy and Jon were very friendly and helpful, couldnt have asked for more. Would be an amazing property to rent during the summer months.

Andrew

A fantastic weekend away with all the family in a beautiful house. The house is big so plenty of room for all of us and the house is so warm with the added bonus of the log fire. The hot tub was amazing with everyone enjoying it and the games room kept the kids and adults entertained. We had a welcome hamper from Mandy and Jon who were so friendly and welcoming. Any problems or questions we had theyd be on it straight away. The house was very clean and the beds were comfy. The canal is next to the house so we had a nice walk along there. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Sophie

We had a wonderful stay. Property facilities were brilliant, especially the hot tub, games room and log burner! Mandy was extremely helpful and provided lots of information prior to our stay. Communications with Mandy were brilliant even when I needed to check if we'd switched the oven off after we'd left!. The welcome hamper was very appreciated too! Beautiful location with lovely walks nearby. I have already been recommending Thorneybees to friends and family and hoping we can stay again soon! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Excellent stay and hosts were friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you.

Amazing house and an amazing christmas spent with our family, The hosts could not do enough. The house was decorated on arrival with a christmas tree and decorations. Its a christmas we will not forget thankyou

Fantastic house and facilities. Very friendly owners, Mandy and Jon were on hand if needed we needed help getting the rugby on Prime, which they sorted! Everyone loved the house and walks from the doorstep. Thoroughly recommend and we will be rebooking.

Outstanding in every aspect one can think of. ..the location, the house, its facilities, special extras like the games room & hot tub! Mandy & Jon are brilliant. Very warm & helpful! We had a wonderful family time, 10 of us, enjoying this ideal place. A big Thank You to Mandy, Jon & Thorneybees House!!

Our stay at thorny bees exceeded our expectations. The hosts were so welcoming from the start of the holiday and remained this way until the end. The facilities could not be faulted. The location and house was perfect even for 10 2023 year olds! The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a lovely holiday! We would definitely return and recommend to others!

Lovely setting house superb with everything you could possibly need. Hot tub a particular bonus especially with the children. Plenty of safe areas to play as its completely fenced. Very bumpy journey from main road to property. Car parking area in a stonygravel surround of house, which may prove difficult for wheelchairs & buggies. Otherwise, terrific!

Mehbub

The house is fantastic and the hosts are very helpful and considerate. We all had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend to others.

Alison

Thorneybees House is a fantastic place to stay with everything you need and more. The garden is very secure and enclosed, perfect for our dog. Mandy & Jon were superb hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was everything we expected it to be.
