What guests are saying
We were moderately satisfied with the property overall.
We booked this accommodation specifically for the Christmas period, mainly because it advertised multiple bathrooms, which was an important criterion for our large family group. Unfortunately, in practice, only two bathrooms were usable, as they were the only ones equipped with proper showers. The others only had bathtubs, which were difficult to use due to very low ceilings that did not allow us to stand comfortably. As a result, we only used the ground-floor bathroom and the top-floor one. Additionally, the water pressure upstairs was very low, meaning we often had to go downstairs to shower. Cleanliness was below expectations. The property felt generally quite old, and the bedding appeared worn and overused, which gave an overall impression of poor hygiene. We had to vacuum several times ourselves, and the sofas were already damaged, stained, and in some cases torn upon arrival. The house was also quite cold, despite attempts to adjust the heating, and the bathrooms were poorly equipped, with long waiting times for hot water. In reality, having only two functional bathrooms for a group of 20–21 people, despite having booked a property advertised with eight bathrooms, was very challenging. Considering the price paid, the quality did not meet expectations, and the value for money was disappointing.
Had a great week at Beaufort House.
A large property with loads of room for our family of grandparents, sons and their partners and four children. Especially liked the games room, large well stocked kitchen, huge dining room table for all of us to sit at family meal times and we made plenty of use of the little garden. A lovely lounge with plenty of seating, but we chose to use the dining room and garden area for get togethers.
We had a perfectly lovely week at Beaufort House - it's a very old property so don't expect it to be fully modernised but it's very good value for money and in a prime location.
There were 10 adults and 4 children in our party, plenty of room for all and no falling over each other. We would definitely stay again.
