    We had such a fantastic stay at Meadowbrook Hall and this is a perfect house for groups of friends/family to stay. There is plenty of space inside and out, great toys to keep the kids entertained and a great games room for the adults too. The whole house is beautifully designed and decorated but with comfort in mind. All of our group had a great time and Laura thought about all aspects of our stay to make it comfortable. I cannot recommend highly enough!!

    Perfect - A grand house that feels like home. So thoughtfully appointed, with everything (and more) that both adults and kids could want, allowing us to just enjoy being together. Beautiful rooms, glorious grounds - no one wanted to leave. My niece has already asked when we can go back to the 'big house' again!
