We couldn't be happier with this property, it was just perfect. The size was fantastic for our group of 9 and we really loved the hot tub and games room. Having sheep at the edge of the garden was quite charming, plus the valuable info on local walking trails was brilliant. Thanks a lot for having us, we would definitely return in a heartbeat!

Mark
We stayed at a fantastic, spacious house that was really well presented for our family's 50th wedding anniversary celebration, with ages ranging from 7 to 72 over a long weekend. The kitchen was large and well equipped, all the bedrooms were spacious with very comfy bedsand every other room was tastefully decorated. The hot tub and games room were hit with the kids and were used throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend this lovely house. Thanks for a most enjoyable stay!
Rachel
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Staddon House. It's perfect for everyone, no matter their age. We also checked out a couple of local pubs for dinnerand we felt really welcome there too. Big thanks to the owners!
Emma
This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 10 nurses during our pre-Christmas weekend getaway. We truly can't fault anything. Communication with the owners was excellentand their suggestion for a local pub was just fantastic! There was plenty of space for some peace and quiet when needed, but it was also super comfy for all of us to gather together in the lounge. Ample parking and no neighbours apart from the sheep meant they couldn't hear our awful singing one night!
Sophie
Staddon House is a lovely place, just right for a 50th birthday bash with three families! The views are stunningand it's really well equipped and furnished. The rooms were way bigger and better than we thought. We’d absolutely recommend it and hope to go back one day!
Emma
We absolutely loved this place! It's way bigger and better than it looks in the photos, which was a delightful surprise. The location and views from the house are stunning, plus the hot tub is perfectly situated to soak them all in. We're definitely planning to come back.
