Garden House

Guests who stayed here loved

“Garden House is a solid and rambling house with unexpectedly large bedrooms, all en suite. You'll probably spend a fair bit of time in the large communal area off the kitchen, perfect for chats, board games, and of course meals. It has a delightful mature garden, with a sunny lawn enclosed by trees and shrubs, and the river and mill race on both sides. It is less than 100 metres from a main road but it feels isolated, serene, bucolic, with just a bit of birdsong to be heard. It was pretty much perfect. We were a party of 9, 3 couples and 3 singletons, from various parts of England and Wales. We are old friends who do this sort of meet-up on an irregular basis, having been to a Welsh chapel conversion and apartments in Barcelona in the last few years. Garden House was without doubt the most comfortable and home-like (and affordable!) of these and our other trips. The owner, Matt, was genial and most helpful, providing us with a great list of local eateries and ideas for hikes before we arrived. Thanks Matt, you're a great host! We loved your house, and all hope to stay again. The fact that the Egypt Mill hotel/ restaurant is mere yards across the adjoining lawns was a most pleasant bonus. Do eat there at least once, the menu is excellent, and please tell Stacey, who may be your waitress, that we miss her. Nothing I can think of. Oh, my en suite bathroom only had soap, 2 new bars, no shower gel. Not a grumble at all, didn't bother me in the slightest, just an observation. And a sign I spend a lot of time in hotels with the little bottles of gel and conditioner etc everywhere!”
