House and grounds are gorgeous and there was alot if room for 11 guests. The hot tub was lovely but quite alot of work to get it going. House was filled with fun activities, games and the kitchen was stocked full of everything you'd need! The aga was also a bit challenging to use but we figured it out! The whole family loved the place and we'd definitely stay again!

We had the most incredible, special stay at this stunning country house! The moment we arrived, we were blown away by the picturesque surroundings - rolling hills, lush greenery, and a tranquil atmosphere that instantly melted our stress away.The house itself is a beautiful blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, with spacious rooms, cozy spaces, and stunning views of the countryside. But the real highlight has to be the hot tub - oh my, it's like soaking in a warm hug surrounded by nature . We spent the morning lounging in there, taking in the views of the beautiful gardens.The location is perfect for exploring the local area, with plenty of walking trails and picturesque villages nearby. And the property manager was super friendly, very responsive and helpful, providing of local recommendations for taxi services and helping with any queries quickly.We loved our stay so much we're already planning our next visit!

Ideal property for a family celebration

We were able to visit Mapledretone House at short notice following an issue occurring at our previously booked property. This was due to the excellent support received from Christina, the property manager.As a family we enjoyed the location, quiet yet within walking distance to the local pub / restaurant. The house was presented in great order for our arrival. The wood fired hot tub was a great success with all the family. The children particularly enjoying the Cinema and Games rooms as well as the supplied croquet set and cricket bowling machine. We would have no hesitation in recommending the property to friends and family.
