‘What can I say, this house was exceptional! Huge family gathering and catered so well for all. Beds were so comfortable, lots of room, games room entertained little and older ones, great movie room, amazing dining room meaning we could all eat together, amenities were great! Garden was super, lots of playing on the swings, throwing a frisbee, playing football and a fantastic bbq. No-one wanted to leave, lots of precious memories made and cannot wait to go back and meet up again - thank you x’

‘Had a fantastic weekend here with friends and family. The house is amazing, very clean. A great place to make great memories. Huge rooms to be with everyone an also plenty of space to have 5 minutes to yourself. Would highly recommend a stay here. Thanks for sharing this amazing house.’

‘We stayed as 5 families for a long weekend celebrating multiple birthdays. From start to finish, it was stunning. Set in a backdrop of views over the Dales with spacious and well kept gardens, the house is generously proportioned for 25 people but at the same time extremely comfortable. It’s well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery and the details such as the furnishings in the bedrooms, library and dining room really add to the experience. Dena was extremely helpful with guidance and setting up the bedrooms to our requirements - and even found a charging point for an electric car! Definitely a 5 star experience!’

‘Was there for a long weekend celebrating a 40th with a murder mystery. Its an absolutely beautiful house! If you want to feel like you're in an episode of Downton Abbey or Poirot you're on to a winner. Be warned though, the local pub doesn't open until 6pm!’

‘Don’t hesitate, just book it! We were a group of 26 (14 adults and 12 children) and had the most wonderful weekend in the stunning surroundings of Stretton House. From the outset, Dena’s communications were clear and helpful and always gave the impression that nothing was too much trouble. On arrival we were warmly met by John, the housekeeper, who gave us the “tour”. He was subsequently always available but never intrusive. The house has a real wow factor and was absolutely perfect for a group of our size. It allowed ideal social space to come together, but also given its size the ability to easily spread out. The weather was kind, so we spent most of the time on the fabulous rear lawn playing sports, and put the BBQ to good use on our final night. The site is safe and secure and the kids loved the freedom it gave them…. as did the adults! Morning coffee on the veranda overlooking the lake and horse fields was just idyllic. We would all return in a heartbeat.’

‘Absolutely stunning! You will 'wow' on entry as will all your guests. It is immaculately clean, has everything you need and more. We had a chef on Saturday evening and he had one whole kitchen all to himself! Fabulous grounds and great local walks - if you can tear yourself away from the house, bedrooms, cinema room... we shall treasure the memories we made on our long weekend at Stretton House and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you.’

‘Stretton house was the perfect setting for my family 30th birthday celebratory weekend. We were impressed how well equipped it was in the kitchens for self catering! For such a big house it was incredibly warm and inviting, everyone was very comfortable. The rooms were all very spacious and well decorated, the luxury of 1:1 bathrooms was great for a big group of families. Couldn’t have had a better stay and the owners/managers of the house were very approachable and helpful leading up to and during the stay! 10/10 thank you.’

‘After extensive searches I booked Stretton House for my 50th birthday (directly). From the very beginning Dena was hugely helpful and throughout dealt very patiently with my numerous questions. I had a real vision of what I wanted the weekend to be, usually a recipe for disappointment but the weekend exceeded my expectations by a million miles! We were met by John who showed me around the property, to be fair I’d been on the video tour app so many times I knew my way around but the property is so much more impressive in the flesh! It’s also bugger, the rooms are incredibly spacious and the facilities… well nothing has been overlooked, quite literally nothing! Our guests arrived from Friday afternoon and everyone commented on how lavish and luxurious the rooms are, we had 23 people (all adults) giving everyone their own bathroom (and just one bedroom not en-suite). Honestly the facilities are 5 star; toiletries in each bathroom, power showers, comfy beds, fluffy towels, spectacular views… what more do you need from a bedroom? We served afternoon tea in the lavish lounge (with the biggest sofas I’ve ever enjoyed!), played chess and enjoyed a brandy in the library, had a 3 course dinner (and a pub quiz after reconfiguring it) in the dining room, breakfast In the pine kitchen, conservatory and outside, watched the cricket in the sky room, pool competitions in the games annex and the party to end all parties for my actual birthday in the back kitchen and bar (where you can stream your music through the speakers in the kitchen, queue much dancing and singing). The weather progressively got hotter so we had a full day in the garden playing croquet (who knew it could get so competitive) and exploring the secret garden, lake and local footpaths. To be brutally honest, none of us wanted to leave! I did tons of research to find the perfect property for a large group and I found it. Honestly, if that’s what you’re looking for then look no further, the answer is Stretton house!’
