Ideal property for large groups, we had 4 generations staying. There's plenty of space, inside and out, and it is well equipped. Great location and water sports were especially enjoyed by the younger generations.

This is a superb property for large groups and our three generational family group of 23 liked it so much that we have already booked again for next year. Bodweni is very well equipped and, with so much to do on site, you don't really need to go anywhere else but, if you want to, there is plenty for all ages to do in the area. We particularly likeRead mored the fact that everyone had a proper bed (no sofa beds) and either a private bathroom, or a shared one very close by. Everyone, too, had a very comfortable dining room chair - no fold ups - and all 23 of us could sit round one table! The view from the house was beautiful and the outside seating area felt very private. This property lived up to all our expectations and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Hide

A great location, and a property well set up for a large group of people - enough dining seats and sitting space for everyone. The house was warm enough, and well equipped for our needs. Lots of fun things to do - the games room, the cinema, the outside space etc. I think the property was refurbished to a high standard, but it's now a little worn iRead moren places and could do with some TLC, but nothing that spoiled our wonderful vacation.

24 of us had an amazing week at Bodweni Hall to celebrate. Plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing and to come together to enjoy social time. Table accommodated all 24 for of us. The weather wasn't so kind to us but we played on the Lake and the river regardless. Swimming in the river was great.
