Michele
It was perfect for our group of 10 adults and two children who loved the garden and games room. The welcome gift of wine, chocolates and biscuits was really appreciated. The house was very comfortable and had a real home from home feel. Everything we needed was provided. We had a barbecue on one evening and it was the perfect setting. Thank you

The traditional style was nice; it's a very beautiful house and gardens. The added touch of the fruit, chocolates & bottle of wine was appreciated! Communication was good with the owner. Very few negatives, perhaps having some extra tea towels? Overall a fantastic stay.

The gardens were well-kept and, as the weather was kind to us, we were able to enjoy eating and drinking al fresco. I would definitely recommend Berryburn to anyone attending a wedding nearby - it was perfect.
