Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, with only minor mentions of overlooked dust. The overall impression is of a well-maintained and spotless environment.
The property's rural location is appreciated for its beauty and tranquillity, offering magnificent views and proximity to local sights. Some guests note the remoteness requires transport, but this does not detract from the positive reception.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the house warm and welcoming. There is a single mention of soft mattresses, which may not suit all preferences, but overall, the property is regarded as very comfortable.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and games barn, are highly praised. There is a note about the games room being slightly outdated and a difficult-to-lock front door, but these are minor issues compared to the overall positive feedback.
While the reviews reflect the owners' helpfulness and the property's provision of games and facilities, there is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

The owner of Holly House has made us aware the new check in time will be 5pm for the foreseeable future, this is to create more time in between bookings to clean and sanitize the property.
The owner has requested that guests bring their own towels (duvets, mattress and pillow protectors will be provided) the owner feels this is the safest route to take given the current situation.
If there is any issues surrounding this request, please contact us.

The house and garden are lovely and comfortably and met all our needs. There's a lovely outlook from the house of the surrounding farm land and countryside. The barn was great for all the family with games to suit everyone. We had a great holiday.

The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of boxed games for the family to enjoy in the evening. The games barn was a real asset for young and old to use. The owners were friendly and informative and quick to help and answer all our queries fully. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property for a family holiday and hopefully, one day, we will return!

Glorious weather which meant we didnât use the barn, but the garden was perfect for sitting peacefully in after a long day walking.
