Hillthorpe Manor by Maison Parfaite - Large Country House with Hot Tub

Beautiful house in lovely grounds. Really lovely interior decor with very spacious rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated some kitchen basics like salt and pepper,tea and coffee.

Garden wasn’t prepared for us, however, the hosts sorted this out the day after our arrival. There was a nest of bees in a down pipe. The host said a bee man would come during the week but he never arrived. This meant that we didn’t want to leave the bedroom windows open during a heat wave.

Location is very rural - perfect for some lovely walks. Hot tub was great. Kitchen layout is great for large numbers of people with cooking facilities and sofa.

Water pressure for showers was quite low.

It was great for the dogs Very private Plenty of room

It was hard to keep warm I understand it’s a big house to heat Throws would be a good asset We didn’t find the third bathroom until the last night I think that should be specified

The location was good. A little difficult to find.

The dinning table should have been in the kitchen. A few bar stools in the kitchen around the island would have been good.The seating in the living room was more for looks but uncomfortable to sit on. The garden table a chairs were unloved. A long cobweb brush would help to remove the higher webs (Amazon)

Nice quiet location. The kitchen was very large and amenable for a large group of people. The bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and there were bathrobes in all rooms. The heating was excellent except the lounge was not so warm, the log fire was excellent though and there was a good stock of wood.

There was no welcome information regarding wifi passwords, instructions for guests. It was a little difficult to gain entry as the key lock box did not open very easily. The dining table was a tight fit for 10 guests.

Fabulous Property in a Fabulous Location What an amazing place to stay, we couldn’t fault a thing! We booked as a group of 10 with 2 dogs and were staying for a friend’s birthday party. We were all blown away by the grandeur and the high end spec of the property. The beds are super comfy, and the decor throughout is fabulous. The hot tub was lovely after a day out hiking. We’ll definitely be booking again! Would love to come back in the summer when we can make full use of the gardens too! Big thank you from us both.

Can’t think of anything negative.

The house decor was lovely and the beds were super comfortable would have been brilliant if the water actually worked.

We had an issue with the water both pressure and heat and no one provided any help to this until the morning we were leaving. This meant that half of the guests decided to go home before the last night due to not being able to shower. Totally unacceptable and really ruined the weekend.
