The house was spacious clean with a beautiful garden, we took a trip to the local pub on Sunday which again was great although we werenât able to find the walking path. I would definitely recommend Shifford manor for large families, spacious kitchen 2 lounges large garden and plenty space for all to sleep comfortably.

The house was immaculately clean with everything needed for our comfort and a fabulous kitchen for preparing meals for the ten of us. The bedrooms and linens were of a very high quality and the children loved the spacious garden. We were very lucky with the weather and could eat outside as well. Having visited the area before we managed to have a couple of trips out, to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Crocodile World which the children enjoyed. We would certainly recommend the property for a similar family group. Thank you.

The accommodation was excellent, plenty of space inside and outside. Extremely well furnished and equipped. Welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc much appreciated. Lots of little thoughtful extras in the house which enhanced the stay. Great for all ages. Everyone still talking about the stay. We can't wait to return.
