Incredible house with amazing extras and a lovely owner

We stayed at this gorgeous and huge country house for the weekend. It is a large traditional style home that feels like you’ve just stepped into the most amazing family home. Spotlessly clean and with very comfy beds and loads of big fluffy towels. There is a massive outdoor pool and a sauna. Unfortunately the weather was not conducive to using the pool but it looked very inviting. A huge garden for the teens to play football on. Plenty of space for parking. The owners were lovely with great communication before and during the stay. Very thoughtful of them to leave us with some milk in the fridge and snacks on the table. We can’t recommend this house enough and will definitely be back.

A perfect retreat

We chose Frankel as it was between my sister and brother's homes, and we had some important family tasks to perform. Our hosts were fabulous and accomodating (eg providing tools when we needed them), and Frankel was large enough that my siblings could visist us. An added bonus is that Frankel is positioned between two pubs, one a true "local", dog-friendly village hub, and the other, where we ate one night, serves good food (don't know about the other as we catered for ourselves or were at family events the other nights we stayed).

Hidden Gem

Beautiful converted stables with a cozy log fire. The local pub The Folly is a delight and the tow path walk was an added bonus for walking our Shih Tzu. The host Nigel was so welcoming, we arrived during a storm and Nigel had come out to meet us with a bottle of wine. Cooking facilities were perfect (I’m coeliac so we cooked our own food) and the dishwasher made clean up so much quicker so that we could enjoy a glass of Nigel’s wine in front of the log burner. The house was clean and cozy and our dog loved the under floor heating. We look forward to coming back.
