With four spacious reception rooms and a further snug, large parties can spend time together or separately, with careful consideration given to the social and practical requirements of those on a group holiday. The grand entrance hall gives way to the main living room presenting comfortable seating with a log burning fire alongside a bar area offering a relaxing space to unwind. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle large numbers, with two range oven and hobs, two fridge/freezers and two dishwashers, plus essential extra space can be found in the separate utility room. Dine in style in the ornate dining room, seating over 25 guests and perfect for formal and celebratory dinners. Upstairs, the ten bedrooms are brimming with individual character. With four of the bedrooms interchangeable between super-king beds and twin beds, this property is ideal for large groups and adaptable to every party make-up, and with each bedroom boasting an en-suite, consideration has been given to the privacy of the guests. While away a lazy summer afternoon with a good book or garden games with the family in the fantastic gardens, or dine alfresco whilst marvelling at the magnificent views.

This is a great house for a big family group. Plenty of communal space for all ages to follow their own interests. The kitchen was ideal for groups to share in the cooking and for all to eat together. It has a wonderful view of the river, and is close to the beach with surfing and sailing activities.

A brilliant venue - beautiful/well-kept grounds with a wonderful view of the river. Lots of room in the house, well equipped, attractive features and decoration with ample facilities for 20 people. Loved hearing curlews, seeing wildlife and feeding the fish too. We didnt want to leave. Great for people with dogs.

An excellent house for a large group with a fantastic view. I stayed at the house in January and found it to be warm and welcoming. All bedrooms are large and ensuite so easily allocated to my guests. The beds were comfortable and well heated. The kitchen is superbly kitted out with nearly two of everything. Plenty of room for everyone to sit down Read moreat once and eat with a good sound system playing apple music. The bar was well used as was the pool table. I would recommend Yeoldon House. Hide

A beautiful place with superb views and plenty space. Great decor too. The children loved feeding the fish. A visit from the neighbouring goats was entertaining and the pool table provided hours of entertainment. The welcome pack was thoughtful and useful. Perfect for a large gathering, but take your own soap, loo roll and all the kitchen essentialRead mores, including detergent. It also lacked enough of the basics like oven gloves, tea towels and towels in the downstairs loos. Hide
