We had a wonderful weekend as a family of 12 with 2 dogs. The property was clean, spacious with really great sociable space and also space to have a bit of quiet time if needed. The house was so well equipped, we found everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. There were loads of games and DVDs.Dave was a brilliant host from the outset, his communication was always prompt and he was so helpful with a couple of queries we had. The gardens were enclosed so super safe for our dogs and small child. We used the pool table a LOT. Dave left us some milk and wine (thank you Dave) and there were fresh flowers too! We wouldn’t hesitate to go back again, it’s a beautiful house in a beautiful area.Thank you Dave.

Excellent for social get togethers

We stayed here for my brother's 50th birthday celebration weekend with all the family from ages 12 up to 75. It is a fabulous house for socialising, with large open plan kitchen/dining/games area. We never made it into the lounge! Dave was a great host and replied promptly to any questions throughout the booking process and when there. The house is well stocked and plenty of storage space for guests. The pool area and garden are slightly different now to the photos (garden is smaller) but still provided a great outdoor space for games/entertaining. It is an older style country house and possibly would benefit from a new coat of paint in the well used areas but we were very happy here and would return again for a repeat visit. Would highly recommend a visit to Sheppys near by for their private cider tours/tasting.

Not clean

The property was in a lovely location, with plenty of room, games room, even a piano. The property was a little tired inside, not many bulbs working in the kitchen, some chairs & curtain poles were broken, dust & cobwebs where everywhere, we opened one window upstairs & hundreds of flies came in, as they must have been living in the window frames. There was a problem with the Arger when we arrived on Fri evening, we called the owners to inform them it wasn't working, they couldn't come out that night & told us to use the electric oven, it was small for us to cook for 10 of us. The owner then came out on Sat lunchtime to look at the Arger, he said he couldn't fix it, & didn't know what else to suggest, what he should have done was called around earlier on the Sat morning & sorted an engineer to come out & look or offered us some money off. We ended up cooking a fry up for 10 people which took about 1 & half hours to cook on the electric oven & hob. We come from a B&B background family, so know what standard properties need to be. I think this property needs to be looked at by Air B&B.

Great location

We stayed at Parkgate House September 2022, with a party of 11 friends and family aging between 11-75 years. The house had something for everyone and was exactly what we had hoped for. We were fortunate that the weather offered us warm sunny afternoons which allowed us to make use of the outdoor space - this was great. We were also able to use the outdoor fire pit which Dave kindly dropped some wood off for. The pool was on the chilly side due to the time of year we were there however once in and swimming, it was fine. The only issue we had was that we thought we would be able to use the Aga but we couldn’t as there is a problem with it. There is a much smaller cooker tucked away in a corner for guests to use however it isn’t big enough to easily cook for large numbers. There was also no lighting in that corner as the extractor fan and lighting didn’t work which compound the challenges of cooking. However after lots of laughter we have taken a lot of memories away from trying to cook on that cooker. We had a wonderful weekend just being together. Lots of fun and laughter which was exactly what we wanted from the weekend.

Ideal for our family get together

The property was ideal for our family get together, plenty of space for us all and large garden for 3 dogs to run in. Everything was supplied within the property to enable us to cater for a party of 9 adults and 3 children. The host was very helpful and replied promptly via email to any queries. The only slight negative was that we were unable to turn off the heated towel rails in the en suite bathrooms but the cleaner explained this was to do with the hot water supply within the property.

Amazing house for a large family group of all ages!

We had such a wonderful time at Parkgate House, it’s beautiful and so spacious with wonderful facilities. We had thought the pool was going to be small and not anything special but it was fantastic and the perfect size to have fun and enjoy with the kids. The garden is very well kept and huge, with lots of room for games and plenty of outdoor seating. The kitchen/dining/games room is huge and was a great space for us to have dinners and socialise in the evenings. We brought our dog with us and it was safe and secure, plus there is a doggy room with a dog flap going to a fenced off part of the garden. The only thing I would say as a negative is the water pressure in the showers, which wasn’t great but still manageable. We also hadn’t received a notification that there wasn’t going to be any towels provided because of COVID but we called Dave our host and he came over and was very happy to provide them for our stay and was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back for another family holiday, when we can!
