I booked this house for my big birthday celebration for me and my family.....10 of us in total. It was a great success for all of us young and old!! The house is in a great location and with so much space we didn't feel on top of each other. The house has been finished to a high standard and feels like someone's home with all the attention to detail. Very comfortable and well equipped. We had an amazing break and would come back again.

Ideal for a large family group, we all enjoyed our stay. Easy walk into the town along a riverside path.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We spent a long weekend staying in Fosseside House to celebrate an 85th birthday and it proved ideal. The location is about 10 minutes walk into the centre of the village - going via the Windrush path along the side of the river and fields is highly recommended! This also meant that we could escape from the crowds in the centre of the village and have time and space to ourselves. There was more than enough car parking (we had 4 cars at one point but could have easily parked 7, one for each of us.) The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped especially in the kitchen with ovens and hobs galore! The 4 bathrooms were great allowing everyone to get ready for dinner around the large dining table in the evenings. The good weather meant that we were able to sit out around the huge table in the garden too - and wandering in for competitive games of darts and table football in the games room. We had Sunday lunch at the nearby Mousetrap pub (less than 10 minutes walk) which was excellent - booking is essential though!
