What guests are saying
Nine of us had a really enjoyable week's holiday.
The house is close to the town with wonderful views. Large private garden which the dog enjoyed exploring safely. Convenient parking space for 3 vehicles. A beautiful house, tastefully furnished and equipped, but in keeping with the character of a large Vicorian house and with the feel of a family home. Comfortable bedrooms and beds. Enough space for 9 of us to get together but also to have a quiet space when needed. The games room was popular, especially the table tennis table. Highly recommended.
This house is amazing for families, it's a fabulous house with everything you need lots of space with a great garden and stunning views!
The games room is a bonus! Can't fault it
Duncombe more than lived up to our expectations - a lovely house with convenient layout, comfortable furniture, very well equipped kitchen, original features including beautifully tiled fireplaces and wonderful sea views from 3 bedrooms.
The games room was very popular -table tennis fans enjoyed the full-sized table, 3 piano players tried to rekindle their skills and the bookworms loved the extensive library. There was something for everyone in our group of 3 generations. Our only concern was the unsafe steps leading from the dining room to the garden - we placed wicker stools to mark where the setps narrowed in width - perhaps permanent tubs/ garden ornaments would do the trick.
