Previous visitors' comments about Ghyll Bank House:
The stunning views from the lounge and 1st floor bedrooms. Did not appreciate from info given just how quiet the position of the property was. Loved being up the hill away from civilisation.
Mrs Jackson, Leatherhead, July 2010
Lovely place, photo in brochure doesn't do it justice. Remote and beautiful. A real taste of paradise!
Mr & Mrs Cowern, Cannock, April 2010
This property was excellent for our large family group. The owners were friendly and helpful. The children enjoyed the freedom of the secure and extensive garden. The panoramic views are spectacular.
Mrs Travers, Nottingham, April 2010
Excellent house in fabulous location.
Huge lounge meant the whole party could comfortably sit together. Three families shared a great walking holiday. We loved the lambs on the front lawn!
