Emma
Honestly, the house was stunning, with incredible views and comfy bedrooms. It was such a treat to see all my friends’ reactions when they arrived and realised how lovely the place was. We loved it!
Emma
The garden isn’t really secure for dogsand the place looks a bit worn out.
Rachel
The space has potential, but it’s pretty tired and desperately needs a good clean.
Emma
Even though the cottage's up for sale, it’s still lovely. We had a great time as a group of 14and Phil, the manager, was always ready to help out. Would recommend!
Sarah
We had a lovely stay at Lyth Country House. The place was so roomy and in a beautiful spot. The big dining and bar area made it easy to relax and chat in the evenings.
James
We stayed at this converted country inn, which offers stunning views and plenty of space for our management team to hold a workshop comfortably. A few things needed fixing upon arrival-some the caretaker sorted, others not so much, but overall, a decent stay.
Oliver
We loved staying here! The shared areas are spaciousand the private rooms with en suites are a real bonus. Perfect for our big group of 16, plus 4 babies and 3 dogs. The views are absolutely stunning too, made everything even better.
