Wonderful holiday

What a fabulous place to stay. The accommodation is spacious and very comfortable. The location is excellent for exploring the local area. We loved the walled garden and enjoyed sitting outside taking in the view.

Comfort break

Excellent location, lovely setting with a country house aura. Accommodation itself superb, generous facilities provided, reasonable rates. A great place for a long weekend away with friends or relatives.

Most relaxing second visit

It was great to see the allotments and gardens looking so wonderful after such a challenging summer. The property is light, spacious and quiet.

A stunning place

We celebrated and had our wedding ceremony at Cadhay House and Gardens. It's an absolutely idyllic place to get married. We hired the cottages on the grounds too, so all of our guests could stay close by and we could celebrate over 3 days. The gardens are incredible, we ate under the trees for every dinner, the bedrooms and sitting rooms, each different but comfortable and charming. Helen and Rupert were always helpful and welcoming, making it a truly magical place to get married. I couldn't recommend staying at Cadhay enough, for any occasion, thank you very much!

A wonderful holiday

I have stayed the Stables many times and I keep coming back! It is a beautiful location in a magical setting. The gardens were absolutely beautiful full of variety and colour. To achieve this display with the drought we have experience is exceptional. The gardens must be congratulated.

Relaxing stay at Cadhay

We all enjoyed our short break at Stables cottage.Clean and very comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings. We look forward to a return visit!

Excellent

A very well appointed, comfortable cottage that is all on one level. Away from the bustle of a town location it is quiet setting. The main gardens are impresive and well worth a visit.

We had a full house and everyone was amazed by the manor.

We loved the history, the furniture, the little touches everywhere reminding us of the past. We were warm and cosy in this vast house, which is no mean feast on a cold February weekend. Our host was attentive, friendly and a mine of information.
