Lovely house for a get together. This was our second stay here as a group of friends. The pool and hot tub were put to good use during the weekend despite it being December. The lounge has enough seating to easily accommodate the 11 of us as did the dining table and the bedrooms are each of a good size. Areas of the house are starting to look a bit tired in places and the plumbing is quite noisy but these things did not put us off having a great weekend. Therefore I would recommend this accommodation as a good place to stay for large groups.

This is a super, comfortable place for a family gathering. We were 3 generations ranging from 4 to 74 with two dogs spending a week. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub very much. A heated pool in October was such a bonus and although it was outdoor it was used every day ( pool toys greatly appreciated). Great fun was had introducing the teenagers to the music on the juke box. The kitchen was amply equipped for us all, roast for 10 was no problem. We walked in the Forest and on beaches which are easily accessible and no more than 1/2 hours drive at the furthest. We did walk the dogs locally but this is more tricky as it’s mostly road but it was not a real problem as they came on the longer walks with us. A visit to Paultons Park for a birthday was an hit and not too far All in all we would recommend Arnewood Corner and would book again.
