The Retreat at Glanrannell Park House

• "The house was phenomenal!"

  We booked at short notice over new year, due to an issue with another property booked through Sykes. The owners could not have been more accommodating. It’s a beautiful house, with superb finishes. Long drive to the house and loads of parking. The kitchen is like new, all mod cons, including two dish washers, a fridge/freezer, separate fridge and wine fridge, new appliances, plates, cutlery etc. Fab large dining table and a piano. The rooms are elegant and comfortable. We loved the TV screen in the front room - we were convinced it was a picture, very clever and tastefully decorated. There are two downstairs toilets and each bedroom has its own en-suite. The owners have thought of all the finishing touches, board games, dressing up outfits for the kids and a record player and vinyls to name a few things. You couldn’t hear a thing downstairs from the bedrooms, which is a massive plus when your with a large group. Beautiful grounds with its own boating lake, I imagine paddle boarding on this in summer would be amazeballs. It has loads of out door seating, an outside toilet and seating area right near the house with BBQ and heaters. A separate seating area and a hot tub at the bottom of the garden past the lake. It’s snowed during our stay and it was magical, they had put up Christmas decorations. We used the hot tub in the snowy conditions and it was perfect, stayed so hot! We stayed for 5 nights and Beth and Dave were brilliant. Dave let our little ones feed the pigs and visit the peacocks. Ted, their son, was super welcoming and so helpful. I could go on and on. If you’re looking for a chilled family holiday with plenty of space inside and out, with activities for the family and a quality finish, book it I promise you won’t be disappointed :)!

  Huge thanks Keely - it was an absolute pleasure to be able to accommodate you and your lovely family over the new year holiday. Hopefully see you in December. Beth, Dave and Ted x Property Owner

• "We’ve just returned from a family holiday during half term."

  The house accommodated 14 of us beautifully in lovely big bedrooms - all en-suite. The lounge was big enough to sit and watch tv or chill out and read, and the log burner was very welcome in the evenings. The huge dining room table was perfect for family meals and for board games. The kitchen was very well equipped, lots of crockery, glasses, pans, oven dishes etc, very useful two dishwashers. Also two fridges (plus freezer) which we made full use of. The small lake with its rowing boat and paddle boards was a big hit with the teenagers, as was the table tennis. The adults enjoyed the hot tub, especially after dark when they could stargaze. The house is set in lovely grounds, very peaceful. Plenty of parking. Would love to return in summer when we could sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. David and Beth were very helpful when we needed anything, but also very discreet.

• "A most memorable and happy week end that easily and comfortably accommodated our 8 adult, 6 children family."

  Beth and Dave could not have been more welcoming for our special birthday celebratory stay - the birthday bubbly, and the welcome pack was much appreciated. So much fun also for the younger members in the games room, feeding the pigs, and the hot tub was a particular hit for adults and children. The accommodation could not be bettered, tastefully furnished with ample and quality kitchen ware. Many happy memories were certainly made during our stay, - we will certainly return to this idyllic place.

  Thankyou Heather - it was an absolute pleasure to host you and your family. Looking forward to Welcoming you all back x Property Owner

• "We have just returned from the most incredible weekend at The Retreat at Glanrannell Park House and we can’t stop talking about how wonderful it was!"

  Three families (6 adults and 6 children from ages 3 to 12) stayed together and from start to finish it was absolutely fabulous. The children (and adults!) had endless fun on the pond with the rowing boat and paddleboards – it was such a unique highlight and created so many happy memories. The wood-fired hot tub, tucked away in its beautiful and peaceful setting, was another favourite – the perfect place to relax and unwind while soaking up the surroundings. Our host, Beth was welcoming from the moment we arrived, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. One evening she lit the firepit for us and surprised the children with a bag of giant marshmallows and extra long sticks so they could toast them over the flames – a lovely touch that made the experience truly magical for them (and us!). The house itself is stunning, spacious, and perfectly set up for groups. The kitchen has everything you need and a fabulous big dining table. We also enjoyed a BBQ and catching up outside in the relaxing, private 'cwtch' area with the outdoor heater. We’ve all said the same thing: it was one of the best weekends we've had, and we’re already planning when we can come back.

• "We had an absolutely wonderful stay!"

  The place was awesome—beautifully kept, full of unique pieces and furniture that gave it so much character. The view was simply fantastic, and everything about our visit was superb. All the families, including the kids, truly enjoyed themselves, and warm hospitality made our time there even more special. We’ll definitely be coming back to visit! Thank you again for everything. It was an unforgettable experience! – Zainab Qazi

• "The Retreat a Is just beautiful."

  Not only do all the bedrooms have en suite facilities, they are very spacious and decorated beautifully. The grounds surrounding the house are stunning, including views across the lake. We loved the ‘cwtch’ where we sat outside many times to enjoy a BBQ or to listen to Millicent and Maude, the resident pigs! The accommodation was amazing and so were the owners! The whole family were so friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and David even went above and beyond when he took the tyre off one of our cars following a puncture! Would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property, and should we be venturing out this way again, would love to pay another visit. Thank you, Beth, David, Lydia and Ted for such an enjoyable holiday!

• "This newly renovated property was perfect."

  The indoor decor was a mix of modern and traditional and done with real flair and attention to detail. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality utensils and cookware to enable a feast to be made. The dining table was feast worthy. The outside areas were stunning: terraced lawns with peacocks, a lake, a hot tub and games room with ping pong and darts. Plenty of parking. It was a really great place to escape to with friends. David, Beth and Ted were fantastic hosts and I wish them all the best with this venture.
