Red House Reviews

Gwen
Red House is as advertised, very spacious and in a lovely location. Children enjoyed hide and seek in the house and the adults enjoyed relaxing in the kitchen (the hub as we called it) so much space and a good variety of games books and toys also games room in garden very much enjoyed by the children. Overall one of our best weekends away every need catered for and Jon was very helpful when contacted. Loved the conker tin in garden for Deer great idea ,kept my granddaughter entertained all weekend lol. I have already recommended it to friends . If itâ??s relaxation you want this is the place to go.
Christine
We had a fantastic time at the house and would love to go back again. The children loved running around the big house and with two lots of stairs they could play hide and seek really well. We had a family bbq in the garden and we didnâ??t have to worry about the children running away as it was an enclosed garden. The bar/pub room was fun and we all had a game of darts. We would love to return again to the Red House and enjoy spending more time there.
Annika
The Red House is a beautiful house which has been thoughtfully decorated to a high standard throughout. We had a great short break as a family of 8 and our teenage children enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house. The garden is perfect for dogs and we had a great time in the games room. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Robin
Very spacious and well equipped comfortable house to stay in. Highly recommend.
Robert
We loved our stay at Red House. It was perfect for 3 generations of our family to spend the week together. The beds were all very comfy and the bedrooms very spacious. The house itself was great with lots of space and fabulous hiding places for hide and seek. We would definitely return again. The area was great with lots to do too.

Bhavisha
This property was a perfect place for our bank holiday weekend. It is spacious offering loads of rooms to be able to socialise in or have a moment alone. Parking was enough for 4 cars and easy to find with the instructions provided. Kitchen was kitted out with everything you could need and the beds were very comfortable. The house was very clean and we would definitely come back again.
