Paul
17 of us ranging in ages from 6 to *quite old" Oh my goodness - what a house and grounds! So many rooms, so much space. The kids tried to add up all the indoor/outdoor seating but gave up/lost count at 100ish. Super simming pool, games room and well equipped kitchen. Fab banqueting table that was well used for fun-filled family meals. Antiques and plump sofas to drink coffees and read, well-away from the noisey chaotic kids. Super house, super host Thank you Richmond Hall

There was plenty of space in each of the bedrooms and the communal spaces - we never felt like we were on top of each other. Compared to other places I have stayed there was amazing amounts of cutlery, crockery and glasses. The pool and hot tub were a real bonus. There are some lovely local walks in the area. The host had good communication and was wonderfully flexible. Great location for a get together!
