Fabulous house and gardens which transported us to a world of fun and tranquility. Looks amazing in the listing photos and its even better in real life. Really lovely hosts.
we had a wonderful time, would not hesitate to recommend it and hope to return soon.
We had the most wonderful stay at Bonshaw Grange - Riverside Country Retreat to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. From the moment we arrived, John and Dan went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. They had thoughtfully decorated the house for the occasion, which was such a lovely touch.
The retreat itself is absolutely stunning—spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a huge hit and the perfect way to unwind while soaking in the peaceful surroundings.
John and Dan were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and always available if we needed anything. They truly made us feel at home.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone and would highly recommend Bonshaw Grange to anyone looking for a beautiful countryside escape. We’ll definitely be back!
