Guest Reviews

Long term guests do not leave without five stars

★★★★★

"We were lucky enough to stay here for a few months whilst we had some home renovations. The home is absolutely beautiful and the perfect balance of high spec modern and cosy, traditional. The host went above and beyond to make us feel at home and we will really miss living here. We have even written a list of things we love about this home so that we can incorporate it into our own."

"What a fantastic house. We absolutely loved our time in Gatley. The house is decorated so beautifully and the little touches make it a truly lovely home to stay in. We were staying here whilst renovating and I would 100% recommend this home for that purpose. Curling up in front of a log fire in the evening is my new favourite thing. Thanks for an awesome stay."

"Such a comfortable, modern and well equipped home. The spacious kitchen, dining and living space was perfect for our three generation family to catch up, with a comfortable front room as well. A perfect base for visiting family. Parking was fine with a space provided. We would definitely recommend this property without hesitation."
