Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal property for a family celebration We were able to visit Mapledretone House at short notice following an issue occurring at our previously booked property. This was due to the excellent support received from Christina, the property manager.As a family we enjoyed the location, quiet yet within walking distance to the local pub / restaurant. The house was presented in great order for our arrival. The wood fired hot tub was a great success with all the family. The children particularly enjoying the Cinema and Games rooms as well as the supplied croquet set and cricket bowling machine. We would have no hesitation in recommending the property to friends and family. ##### Terrance T.
