It is a truly unbelievable property. We had the most perfect 4 days. The pool was incredible, the grounds amazing and the inside of the house was really comfortable and homely. It was everything we hoped it be. Thank you!

A wonderful house with superb grounds and woods. A great place to spend Christmas with family and friends. Very tempted to book in the summer and make use of the large swimming pool.

We really loved Denswood House. In every way it was wonderful, a really spacious property with so much room for everyone to go off and have their space. Two of our party are proficient players and made good use of the piano. The bathroom facilities were impressive and the bedrooms roomy. The living rooms were comfortable and the games cupboard prRead moreovided entertainment for all. The grounds were extensive and provided for interesting walks for the families but it was the swimming pool that had the plaudits from many of our company. (grandparents, daughters and spouses and grandchildren). Hide
