We stayed in the property for work, hence I marked down on value for money solely for that reason. However, it really is a fantastic house and location for anyone looking to visit the area. You needn’t bring anything to the house, everything you could possibly need for your stay is already there, and all of very good quality. Highly recommended from myself and the team.

This holiday home provided everything we needed. Very easy to find, up a beautiful drive with plenty of space for parking, playing, relaxing front & back of the house, for bbq & relaxing by the hot-tub. Inside with beautiful furnishings, very well equipped kitchen, & a delicious breakfast pack which we all enjoyed. We had plenty of space for us all throughout the house. We enjoyed lovely comfy beds & plenty of bathrooms. Great fun & memories have been made by us all. Thankyou Barbara & team. ##### Joyce W.

We had a wonderful stay at High House in late November and couldn't fault it. The house is great for for social family gatherings and the kitchen and dining area works perfectly for relaxed breakfast and evenings with food, wine and music. The bedrooms are spacious, each with it's own unique layout and styling. The hot tub at the rear of the house is a great asset and is completely private, with its own access through the downstairs bathroom to make the quick trip from the hot tub to the house much easier, especially on cold winter evenings. Barbara was a great host and offered to take us through some of the intricacies of the kitchen appliances. The log burners in the living room and sitting rooms added a lovely ambiance during the evenings. The house was well equipped with plenty of televisions, washer & dryer as well as the usual kitchen gadgets. We would certainly stay here again without hesitation. ##### RYAN H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### sophie d. May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful house for a multi generational family holiday This house is spacious, beautifully decorated and really well equipped. A lot of thought has been made into making sure it is comfortable and practical.We also had a wonderful time watching the sheep from the hot tub. ##### sophie d. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 14, 2025 #### Simply Stunning! We had a wonderful stay at High House. Beautiful house set in picturesque scenery with everything we needed and more! The house itself is beautiful with no expense spared and a real attention to detail - comfortable and spacious with a wonderful mix of traditional features and all the mod cons. The surroundings and views are stunning - such a peaceful place to spend a break, coupled with bbq and hot tub it was exactly what we needed and we will definitely be back! Barbara was wonderful, made us feel very welcome and the breakfast hamper was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble - thank you! ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Eastview Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Alston-Hotels-Eastview-Bed-And-Breakfast.h19173263.Hotel-Information) > - [The Flying Bull Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Liss-Hotels-The-Flying-Bull-Inn.h25677205.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Lion Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Okehampton-Hotels-Blue-Lion-Inn.h40885949.Hotel-Information) > - [Scotsman's Pack Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hope-Valley-Hotels-Scotsmans-Pack-Hotel.h4777849.Hotel-Information) > - [Berry Cottage Croyde 4 Bedrooms Sleeps 7-9 Dog Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Braunton-Hotels-Berry-Cottage-Croyde-4-Bedrooms-Sleeps-7-9-Dog-Friendly.h36118469.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripon-Hotels-The-Old-Coach-House.h13172407.Hotel-Information) > - [The Great Hallingbury Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-The-Great-Hallingbury-Manor.h2123886.Hotel-Information) > - [The Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Settle-Hotels-The-Coach-House.h26995237.Hotel-Information) > - [Croyde Wonky Cottage 1 Bedroom](https://www.expedia.ca/Braunton-Hotels-Croyde-Wonky-Cottage-1-Bedroom.h27423669.Hotel-Information) > - [Pottery Barn](https://www.expedia.ca/Seaton-Hotels-Pottery-Barn.h27000419.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Lion Coaching Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainsborough-Hotels-Red-Lion-Coaching-Inn.h91944827.Hotel-Information) > - [The Garden Rooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Alnwick-Hotels-Cabin-Walk.h78265449.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > - [Saul Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Gloucester-Hotels-Saul-Farm.h16509323.Hotel-Information) > - [Barn Owl Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Harrogate-Hotels-Barn-Owl-Cottage.h31002243.Hotel-Information) > - [Ivy Bank](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Ivy-Bank.h31004611.Hotel-Information) > - [Ye Olde Red Lion](https://www.expedia.ca/Newbury-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Red-Lion.h5646204.Hotel-Information) > - [Stylish and Cosy Cottage in the Heart of Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Leeds-Hotels-Stylish-And-Cosy-Cottage-In-The-Heart-Of-Yorkshire.h99661562.Hotel-Information) > - [The Loft](https://www.expedia.ca/Holsworthy-Hotels-The-Loft.h26996248.Hotel-Information) > - [The Green Man Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-The-Green-Man-Boutique-Hotel.h9247769.Hotel-Information) > - [The Dairy](https://www.expedia.ca/Keighley-Hotels-The-Dairy.h31000303.Hotel-Information) > - [Cliveden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > - [Spring Gardens B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Wadebridge-Hotels-Spring-Gardens-BB.h36049763.Hotel-Information) > - [Burley Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Ringwood-Hotels-Burley-Manor.h65828.Hotel-Information) > - [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > - [Whittonlodge B&B & Holiday let](https://www.expedia.ca/Chesterfield-Hotels-Whitton-Lodge.h102157615.Hotel-Information) > - [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > - [The Garden Room - Tiger Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Eastbourne-Hotels-The-Garden-Room-Tiger-Inn.h32092891.Hotel-Information)
