Fence House Reviews

Krystle

This property is amazing! !! a real gem. We were there to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. Leanne contacted me before we travelled and went through everything for us. There was even a welcome basket a birthday cake and a bottle to help us celebrate. Its those little touches that make a difference. The house itself its just fabulous!! So clean, so spacious and lots for everyone to do. We loved the games room, we ate in the beautiful dining room, watched films in the cinema room, the children loved seeing the chickens they even laid us an egg! There is just so much to do together there. We were able to spend quality time together as a family from a 6 year old to an 86 year old we have all had the most wonderful time, in this absolutely beautiful house and will definatley return in the future!

Charlotte

What can I say. ... this place is pure magic!!! 10 of us stayed here for a pre Christmas family get together at the start of December, and right from when the front gates opened we knew it was going to be an incredible weekend. Leanne was SO helpful and responsive, no question ever too silly and called me the day before with all of the check in information we needed. She was available throughout the weekend on WhatsApp which put us right at ease. The house is absolutely stunning, the perfect blend of curated vintage pieces and modern, and was even decorated for Christmas!! Such a fantastic touch and made for wine and cuppas round the open fire even more festive. Everything was spotless, the beds are super comfy and the sauna and hottub made the dash outside in 2 degrees worth it every time. Everything was so well stocked, the welcome basket was a brilliant touch and we hope the free range chickens enjoyed our Christmas Dinner scraps too. We just had the best time, sang carols round the piano, walked the grounds and had many a feast in the formal dining room and we've come away feeling so Christmassy. We will 10000 be back!! Thank you so much!!!

A very cosy, comfortable house. The welcome from Leanne was just right. Warm, friendly and approachable. Perfect. The games room was a huge hit with the whole family. Tournaments organised every evening before settling down to watch a film in the very comfortable tv room. A great house for a family get together.

Angela

Throughly enjoyed our weeks stay with you 22nd to 29th september 2023, the house is huge and loads of space for everyone to enjoy and not feeling your on top of each other, bedrooms were decorated lovely and enough bathrooms for everyone, well equipped kitchen and enough seating for everyone outdoor space lovely in its own grounds and children will love it as much as adults you will be asked to feed the chickens which are well looked after. Leanne the manager was available at all times if needed and acted quickly on our request, if there was one tiny advice it would only be to have some plastic plates dishes and mugs for childrens use we would defintly book this again it was lush thankyou everyone

Lovely house, very clean and well kept with plenty to occupy us included a couple of rainy days! Great garden to keep the dogs entertained and added bonus of play area for children. Would highly recommend for a large group. Leanne was also very helpful, thank you for the welcome pack too.

Catherine

We had a fantastic family holiday in this amazing house. The children had the best time ever. They had such freedom and fun playing in the extensive grounds and feeding the chickens. It was a really special time together.

Wow, was our first reaction. A beautifully maintained house with so much space inside and outside. Being such a large property we were able to have a parents and children wing, while the rest of the family had a quiet wing! It didn't matter that the weather wasn't great, as the children had enough room to play. The children enjoyed feeding the chickens and collecting eggs. It was lovely having play equipment on site, along with secure grounds to explore. The added extras of a games room, hot tub and sauna make it an outstanding property. Leanne was so helpful and oversees things to maintain the property at a high standard. Every holiday letting should have a Leanne overseeing things. Thank you for making it such a memorable holiday. We look forward to a return stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the property, it was large enough for all of us and situated in a lovely place. The amenities in the property were mostly good, however the games room was a bit tired with some broken items which made it difficult to use them e.g. pool & snooker table. On the one occasion when the hot tub didn't seem to be working action was taken immediately. We only used the tennis court on one or two occasions as it was covered in leaves and needed a good clean. Bedrooms were very comfortable and large in size. There were plenty of things for our 4 year old daughter to do at the property, she particularly loved the chickens! Property was very clean on arrival and we appreciated the little extras like milk and strawberries that were left. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return.

Kathleen

Amazing weekend at Fence House for a 30th birthday celebration. Beautiful house and grounds, games room and hot tub being fantastic additions. Would definitely recommend for any group gatherings.

Rajesh

Nostalgic!!

What a fantastic house for a large family gathering. So much space and more than comfortable. Everything you could wish for. The grounds are also so beautiful. Our 2 dogs had the best time exploring every corner. We had fresh eggs every day too. Hot tub and sauna were another treat. Leanne was on hand to help with any minor issues and even left us a welcome box of goodies. Recommend anyone whos considering booking this wonderful place.

Patricia

Fence House was the perfect venue for our family of 14 to celebrate a special anniversary. We were aged 9 to 80 and there was something for everyone whatever the weather. The games room was very popular as was the hot tub, sauna and cinema room. We loved feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs. If the weather had been better we would have spent more time on outdoor activities in the vast grounds but there is so much to do at Fence House. The large tables in the diningroom and kitchendiner enabled us to eat together. The bedrooms were spacious and storage was excellent. Leanne was on hand to ensure a perfect break.

Jessica

Fabulous stay! Couldnt fault a thing

The place was absolutely amazing. .it was clean and the owners had thought of everything to ensure that the clients had a good time whilst staying there... the property manager Leanne was a brilliant hostess and was at the end of the phone for any queries we may have .. a top place and we will return..

Christopher

Fabulous house. Great for large family gathering. Beautifully furnished but felt homely and relaxing. Leanne was super helpful sorting out an issue that had arisen at short notice. She could not have been more helpful and available. Highly recommend.

The pictures for this property do not do it justice. We had a lovely stay for a 40th get together 8 adults 7 kids aged from 5 to 16. The space in the property is amazing with different break out areas for all to utilise. The games room is a nice addition and was used by all the family and there was plenty for everyone to be doing something during our stay. Overall very impressed with Fence House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a group stay

Hayley

Wow what a wonderful house. The pictures really do not do the house justice with how magnificent the property is. We hosted my mothers 60th birthday with a party ranging from 3 to 65, and the house catered perfectly for everyone. The house is very clean, but also has a real homely feel. Leanne, the host is incredibly helpful and was eager to meet all of our needs. The chickens laid eggs daily which you are encouraged to eat delicious. Thank you for a perfect stay strongly recommend booking here! Hayley & David

Charlotte

What a wonderful house! We had 15 stay for my hen party and there was plenty of room for all! We particularly enjoyed the outdoor games room, movie room and kitchen space. Communication was excellent, even once we had left as the host discovered a pair of boots that had been left and quickly got in contact. The property was immaculate and clearly very well maintained. Thank you for our stay at Fence House!

Caroline

We found Fence House a very warm and comfortable home, the bedrooms are beautifully furnished with large comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. The cinema room and games room where a hit with everyone. There are enough rooms for all guests to relax and the views from all the windows are lovely. There are lots of footpaths close to the house and also a fishing lake a few minutes away. Leanne was very helpful when we found we where short of large pans to cook the Sunday dinner and she brought some new ones over , I have been to many large holiday properties and I can highly recommended Fence House to give you a very comfortable holiday .

Daniel

This is a great house for large groups, it has so much to offer and is tastefully decorated throughout with plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay just before Christmas 2022 and the house was perfect to celebrate a family birthday.

We had such an amazing week at Fence house. We loved the space, what all the rooms had to offer and the feeling of all being together as a family for my partners 40th birthday. The hot tub was incredible, we had plenty of wood sorry we used so much it was the coldest week of the year by far I think! so the fires were burning and the hot tub was a real treat too! The games room was a really nice addition, but we didnt really use it as there was no heating in there and it was freezing. I believe this is being rectified though, which is great as its certainly a real asset to the house. We enjoyed the cinema room, snuggling by the fire, and all cooking together in the big kitchen. Leanne was amazing from start to finish. She was on hand, really helpful and made our stay super special. Thank you, wed love to come back again in the future.

The most amazing weekend. This was a surprise for my partners 40th birthday and it was everything we could of hoped for. The kids had the most wonderful time and there is just something for everyone as well as enough space for some quiet time. Leanne the owner is wonderful, always on hand to answer questions and provide information as with it being winter, it took a lot longer for the hot tub to heat up for us, but Leanne straight away gave advice and was on call. The best weekend, we will be back!

Brenda

What a wonderful place. I have just celebrated my 70th birthday with all my family from two to seventy and everybody enjoyed themselves. The children loved the gardens even though it was raining and the adults had enough space inside to relax. The best house we have stayed in Thanks, Leanne for your help and my birthday cake

Honestly, it was such a great property and everyone loved it. We mainly used the cinema room and kitchen areas, but loved the option of all the living areas. The games room was such a bonus for a miserable day outside, and I would recommend the property without hesitation. Big shout out to Leanne who was so helpful throughout. If we were to give small constructive feedback, lighting would be useful on way to games room, and the back door could do with a door mat as there were a few muddy boots! Loved it though!

Lawrence

A wonderful house for a large family getaway. Immaculately clean and great facilities. Only down side is it could have been warmer and after 8 hours of burning logs we could not get the hottub hot. Leanne the manager is as first class and always on hand. An absolute credit.

Lindsey

Fantastic property and owners. Contacted on day to ensure all was well, nothing seemed a bother, catered for all age groups, excellent stay, thankyou

William

We booked The Fence House for all our family for our golden wedding and we were not disappointed the house was amazing and plenty places for young and old to escape and get 5 mins peace . The chickens were a great success and the grandchildren went ever morning to collect the eggs. The games room was great too and many a laugh was had there. Overall a great place wonderful grounds and would highly recommend this house to anyone. Definitely 5 stars

Fence House is an amazing place to gather with friends. It's a beautiful building, with everything you could want to make a large gathering of friends or family really special. Thoroughly recommend.

Wow what an amazing place and perfect for a hen weekend with family and friends. The addition of the sauna and games roombar on top of the hot tub and cinema room is great. Decorated to a high standard throughout with lovely big bedrooms. Pure luxury and a lovely treat, with fresh eggs from the chickens and a very helpful host. Thanks very much for providing a fabulous place for a weekend to remember

Georgia

We booked this property as a surprise for my Mum's 60th birthday celebrations that had been delayed because of COVID. There were 15 family members in total and we couldn't have hoped for a better property than Fence house. There was something for everyone to keep entertained and the 4 young children we had with us had the most magical time. We created some very special memories in this house! The pictures did not do it justice... it was lovely to see surprises once we had arrived e.g. The sauna games room that we had not expected!

Fence House was a beautifully presented, luxury home set in the most idyllic surroundings with plenty of privacy. The facilities were excellent and the many sitting rooms made the property the perfect place to entertain. The property was maintained to an exceptionally high standard and immaculately clean. The house manager Leanne, was extremely informative and attentive. The little hamper that was left was a wonderful touch. We would love to return in the near future.

Our stay at Fence House was fantastic. The detail and photographs do not do it justice and it is a wonderful place for any family get together. All the bedrooms are wonderful and the addition of the 'bunk bed' room is great for the kids. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of quiet spots if you want to hide away with a book for a rest. When we stayed the weather was glorious so we could take full advantage of the lovely gardens and hot tub and it is one of those rare places where you can let the little ones run free knowing that they cannot do much harm to anything else or themselves. All in all a wonderful place to spend a family break. We will be back!

Jennifer

Perfect place for my mother in laws 80th with space for all of the family to stay together. The cinema room was great for relaxing and the kitchen was a real hub for the whole party. Beautiful house, beautiful location, fabulous weekend!

Navanna

Myself and 11 family members stayed in this cottage for my husbands 30th birthday celebrations. The cottage was immaculate, cosy, warm and just as described. The cottage is stunning, big and comfy. Its nice to go somewhere and have the towels, bin bags, sponges, bins, cleaning utilities and all the cups, pans and glasses we would require etc. Ive even brought the same plates as theres as we love them lol. The grounds are lovely to walk around and the hot tub was the added touch. It did take a day to warm up pretty much but we did go in March. That could not put a downer on the stay as we was blown away by how clean and beautiful the cottage is. We ordered take away and the drivers needed directing to find the cottage just like we did as its a little off a main road and the satnav just took us to the main road so we have put balloons on the signs outside so hopefully this will help any future guests and it did help our delivery drivers lol. This still isnt a negative just help for anyone staying in the future. The cottage has 6 double rooms big double rooms and 1 bunk bed room and 1 single room just literally a bed with no room for anything else but yet again, not a negative as the cottage is huge so if someone doesnt want these rooms take a blow up bed lol. We went to a little pub walking distance away about 15 mins walk which was lovely and we got to see the sheep on the way there and back. The cottage had a lovely old but modern feel to it, I will be going back and staying again! Dont hesitate, just book. 1010!!
