AMAZING HOLIDAY !

WillEl Oxford
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Goose Nest House is one the most immaculate, spacious, beautifully designed, tastefully furnished and well equiped holiday homes we have ever stayed in.

The setting is perfect, the facilties (indoor and outdoor pools, play area,tennis courts,shop,spa) excellent and the whole estate a total escape from the hurly burly of the real world.

An idyllic place for a break for all ages.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Go and discover it for yourselves !!

A relaxing group break in amazing surroundings

.XXXXXXX. Market Bosworth
Review Submitted: November 16, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We stayed with a group of 8 at Goosenest for a long weekend in November 2009.

The aspect of the main window with its view over the lake is just stunning. You could easily not leave the house and not get bored. The house is well positioned so that you are entirely private from the other accommodation. You can just sit on the balcony or in the lounge and just watch the wildlife going by.

Often in self catering accommodation it very easy for the party to be split between the living and dining spaces. But the open plan aspect of the house meant that we were able to live as a group.

The house was a well equipped home from home lacking no detail. We were comfortably able to self cater for our group. The bedrooms were of hotel quality and the combination of fresh air and comfortable beds meant that everyone slept well.

Paul and Madeleine (the owners) have thoughtfully left the house well stocked with board games, DVDs and a game cube, so that in the unlikely event that you are bored of the view, the rainy hours have something to fill them in.

The estate itself is clean and well looked after and felt like a completely secure environment. We went to spa once – and this lived up to the high standards of the rest of the estate.

Over all we would recommend this to anyone looking for a hassle free time away from it all – suitable for children and adults.

A blissful weekend...

ClareC London
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Sadly our stay here was too short, only two nights, but from the minute we arrived we fell in love with the place. It is beautifully decorated throughout but manages to feel homely at the same time, the kitchen was superbly equipped and the view from the sitting room is amazing. Everything was exactly as described and beautifully clean and well cared for, it was a real treat to stay here and the spa treatments were fantastic and very reasonably priced. Great play area/trampoline for our toddlers but at the same time a really tranquil feel to the whole place. Highly recommended for families, young professionals or a romantic break

6 kids...were we mental?!

dorisca twickenham
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
I visited Goosenest with 2 other female friends and between us we had 6 children. I had no idea what to expect as it was booked by a friend, but I was absolutely blown away. The location is stunning, the house divine and the spa blissful! Everything we needed was there and with 6 children that is no mean feat. At no point did we feel cramped, and this was despite the weather not being the best while we were there. The balcony is perfect as it is toddler safe and undercover so a great placed to put the kids!
I had first pick on bedrooms and went for the top room. It had a gorgeously comfy big bed, a great en suite and room for a travel cot. To be fair though decor is immaculate throughout the whole house and I would have happily had any of the rooms. The downstairs rooms open straight onto the lake which is a beutiful sight to wake up to in the morning.
The kids loved the park and the trampoline in the grounds, as well as all of the animals they spotted. I loved the spa great treatments and believe me I have tried a few!) and sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine drinking in the view while the kids slept! Cotswold Wildlife Park is a fab day out and is very near by. It has a huge variety of animals from birds to cows to rhinos. My 2 year old was in his element charging around.
I would thoroughly recommend this place to others and would love to go back one day. I may even take my husband!
