Our stay was very enjoyable, comfortable and memorable.
The location was fantastic. The views from the property were magnificent. Summerbridge is a lovely village. We attended a wedding in Grantley Hall and the property was ideally located for that. The ease of access made our stay even better. I couldn't recommend the property any higher and will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Christmas stay
Very comfortable accommodation for all the family.some Christmas decorations had been put out which was a lovely touch
Unfortunately the key safe was very hard to open, eventually discovered the number sent was off by 1 digit! Also requested travel cot through earlier emails but was told one was not available through you or the owners when it clearly states in the details of the accommodation that one is available from the owners for a small fee. Both minor but annoying details that in the end did not affect the quality of our stay
