Fabulous cottage ( more like a mansion !) in a beautiful location. Secure garden for dogs, great games room and a beautiful, clean well equipped house.

Lovely house, spacious and well equipped. It has marvellous views but these come at the expense of it being very windy at this hill-top location.

We had a wonderful 3 generation week, celebrating my husbands 70th birthday.
Julie
We had a truly wonderful Christmas at Staddon House, very spacious bedrooms, lovely bedding, beautiful bathrooms and huge luxury towels.

Very nice, clean and well equipped property, in a lovely quiet area. Lots of information in the welcome folder about the area. Ideal for a large family/friends gathering, would highly recommend to others and would book again.
Gemma
Could not be more thrilled with this property, it was perfect. The size of the property was fantastic for our group of 9 and the hot tub/games room was loved. Sheep at the edge of the garden and plenty of valuable information on local walking trails was ideal. Thank you so much for having us, we would return in a heartbeat.
Yasmin
We have just got back from a girls weekend at the beautiful Staddon House. Everything you needed was there, the dcor was unbelievable, incredibly spacious, perfect location if you want to be near the countryside. We honestly couldn't fault it! Some unforgettable memories were made - we will be looking at returning in the future.
Cathy
Everything was well laid out and clear... can't fault it at all. Fabulous place
Andy
A fantastic spacious well presented house which our family used for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration with ages ranging from 7 to 72 for a long weekend. The kitchen was large and well equipped, all the bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfy and all other rooms tastefully decorated. The hot tub and games room were used throughout the weeken d which proved a great hit with the kids. Would definitely recommend this lovely house thanks for a most enjoyable stay.
Elaine
Our family had a marvellous stay at Staddon House. Perfect for all ages. We also visited 2 local pubs for meals and made very welcome. Thank you very much to the owners.
Lisa
Absolutely perfect house for a group of 10 nurses to have a pre Christmas weekend away. Cannot fault anything. Communication with the owners was great and their recommendation of a local pub for a meal was fantastic! There was enough space for a bit of peace and quiet if needed but equally comfy enough for all of us to gather together in the lounge . Plenty of parking and no neighbours, apart from the sheep, to hear our terrible singing one night!
Louise
Staddon House is a beautiful home perfect for a 50th birthday celebration with 3 families! Stunning views, very well equipped and furnished and the rooms were much bigger and better than expected. We would definitely recommend and hope to return one day.
