Big family get together to celebrate my husband’s birthday. All the children and partners and all the 5 grandchildren. Great venue and great service. Thoroughly recommend this property.

The E-Family
If you like quirky and unusual then this house would suit you. The accommodation is a good size, we were a party of eleven adults across three generations and we were all comfortable. The welcome hamper, games room and hot tub made everyone very happy.

The M-Family
Nine family members stayed in this beautiful house in Wimborne. It was perfect for us - very well equipped and comfortable with a nice garden and a few minutes walk into the centre of the lovely little town. The New Forest is close by and various beaches not too far plus stately homes and gardens. All together a great house in a lovely area. Would thoroughly recommend it.
