Celebration weekend

Old Bird Guildford, UK
Review Submitted: September 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Holiday in the sun?I'd rather forget those airport delays, leave the queuing on the motorways to the rest of you and take a short half hour drive from where I live to this glorious location with a view beyond compare!! Who needs to battle for the poolside lounger when you have your own private one all arranged? We could not have chosen a better weekend for a gathering of friends and family. The sun shone all the time, the children were hardly out of the pool all day!! Even before the weekend began we could not have asked for more help with organising a party on the Saturday! Everything was fabulous, from the smart, crisp bedlinen to dealing with our shopping which was delivered before we arrived. Our weekend party was a huge success with everyone loving the house and wanting to come back as soon as we can all think of the next celebration!

five star break in wonderful setting

temporarylordsandladies esher, surrey
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This holiday was all we had hoped for, and everyone had a great time. We enjoyed all the facilities - fun in the pool, diving, tennis, croquet, relaxing in the hot tub and sauna outside, and the cinema downstairs. We loved barbecues by the pool or meals in the beautiful dining room, and never tired of the fantastic views! My son wanted to adopt the pigs and chickens, and our dog had the time of her life in the extensive grounds. We would definitely recommend this property to people of all ages, and would not hesitate to return ourselves.

Beautiful Relaxing Break

Family Mendel London
Review Submitted: May 28, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
A stunning house set in beautiful grounds set the scene for a wonderful relaxing break. The kind hospitality ensured my family & friends thoroughly enjoyed a few days at this gorgeous location, which we found very clean and fresh, child friendly, excellent swimming pool, hot tub & extensive grounds. The children found the animals delightful & we would highly recommend a stay here. We shall certainly be returning!
