We were a family group of 14. Eight Adults and six kids with ages between 6 and 11. This was a perfect house for our annual family holiday. The house is large with plenty of space for the active kids, and those looking for a peaceful corner. It also turned out to be the perfect place for a kids treasure hunt. The snooker table was a hit with everyone. We had lovely evenings together in the large hall. With snooker, a few drinks and a log fire. Perfect! The garden is massive with something for everyone. A lawn large enough for football and cricket, plus lots of 'wilder' areas for exploring. The surrounding estate has some nice walks and beyond that the countryside is beautiful.

Every two years we plan a vacation for our entire family, 18 (soon to be 19) and therefore need to find properties which are large enough to accomodate us whilst also beinf dog friendly. It was universally agreed that Barscobe was, by far, the best property we have stayed at yet

We had our annual family reunion here. The house has bags of character. Very memorable stay. We had 11 of us that swelled to 14 midweek and the house was never crowded - always spare rooms downstairs to relax and find quiet time. They installed a new walk in shower which was superb. The kitchen was very well equipped and I loved the AGA. Negatives were the windows - we were told that only one of them opened due to age - I'm not deducting a star for that - but we had a bit of a heat wave while we were there. Two dishwashers made for easy clean ups and two washing machines were great. Dryer needed fixing which I am sure has been taken care of. Overall 5 stars - would I stay here again? No question.
