Nenthead House Reviews

Rachael Denise
Had a lovely stay, we were 3 families and accommodation was a great size for all of us. The kids loved the games room, piano and the garden was a great size to play games in. Plenty of room. Great sized kitchen. Loved the welcome treats. Beautiful location. We would happily come again.
Very comfortable property, lots of room great facilities including a fab games room, super choice for a large family with a lovely garden to enjoy. A great family holiday!
Alison
We had a lovely 3 night stay the emails about our key code on arrival and other useful info were helpful, and the online photos were accurate. The house is beautiful, and the spacious games room was a huge hit! We appreciated the very generous welcome pack, and the provision of staples like toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets etc. Nigel, the handyman, was wonderful, and quickly and efficiently sorted out a minor issue. We had a lovely outing to see the waterfall at High Force, and also enjoyed exploring the village and local play park. A memorable few days in a delightful house which was enjoyed by 9 of us aged from 70 to 6.
