This was the second time I have used seven acres, the first being a ladies holiday in October 2003. This time it was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and there were three generations staying in the house. This was absolutely wonderful as it gave people space to do what they wanted without getting on top of each other. We were eating out for the celebration meal but my family tastefully decorated the dining room (without damaging wallpaper etc. and surprised us with a lovely afternoon tea. It made our 50th anniversary so very special. I cannot walk much now but our children and grandchildren are walkers and had such amazing walks - the area really lends itself to this. As you can imagine, the hot tub was very well used. In closing, A great big thank you goes to the owners who have provided an absolutely beautiful home, so well equipped which has certainly given joy at a special time in our family. I wouldnât most definitely recommend Sevenacres to anyone and so hope we can return. Jenn MacIver
