We are a family group of 15 that go away every year together. We have loved our time at Lynhurst, a beautiful house in a beautiful location. There are lots of steps and steep slopes so might not be suitable for all but it was great for us!

A great house and very well equiped to suit all ages, we had a party ranging from grandchildren to grandparents. The garden is secure so ideal for the dogs. Having so many en-suite rooms important for a large group as is the layout of the kitchen and dining area. Owners keen to ensure that all is well.

If you have a large party of friends and family you will certainly be most comfortable at The Lynhurst. The house is huge, with plenty of rooms if you want some quiet time.
