Very impressive, lovely holiday home, extremely clean, nice and warm and very well equipped. Excellent location and beautiful surrounding gardens. The two resident peacocks kept us all entertained. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Owners, Ann and Peter couldn't have been more helpful. Can highly recommend a holiday at Raincliffe Manor.

Enjoyed the stay just as much as the first time. Ann and Peter are very accommodating and first class hosts. The Peacock's kept the grand kids amused when we were in the house. Sad to have had to leave again.

Very spacious, excellent equipment and facilities. The owner who lived adjacent was very helpful with any queries. The approach and setting of the property was outstanding. The rear âgardenâ/lawn area was enormous complete with two resident peacocks and visiting deer family. All in all just a fantastic holiday home.
