Ardington House provided a perfect venue for the start of our annual family vacation. The house was in good working order and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The surrounding village is small and charming. The ambiance is peaceful and secluded. Most importantly, our family of 22 felt at home during our 5 day stay. Communication with the owner (Edward) and property manager (Charlie) was very good. Likewise, they were both very accommodating due to a covid-related date change.

Kevin and his family were such wonderful guests, a pleasure to have. Communication, organisation and respect for the property was second to none. They left everything exceptionally clean and tidy.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Ardington house. Comfy beds, heating and hot water 5*, lovely grounds, brilliant trampoline and great hidden away location just off the High Street. Wonderful views over the river and fields. Thoroughly recommend it for anybody wanting an escape from a big city or avoiding Covid!
