We had a lovely family stay – three adults and five children. Great comfy beds, weather was hot but house was lovely and cool with a breeze each night. Gardens great for hours of exploration, cricket and meals and drinks outside. Lots of things to do nearby. (Stayed in The Lodge - January 2017)
We spent a family week at Planetrees. This has to be one of the best properties I have stayed in anywhere. It felt like a home away from home with every comfort you could think of provided. The gardens are spectacular and the pool is wonderful. (Stayed in The Lodge - January 2017)
