Fabulous stay in a charming house
We were 14 people aged 6-50, and this was a lovely place to relax and enjoy both solitude and socialising. There was plenty of space to spread out, or to join a hub of people at the bar. The house has a great catering- style kitchen and plenty of options for dining as one group or several. The two sitting rooms and pool room gave options for indoor entertainment, but the area has much to offer outdoors if the weather is good. The garden alone provides a good walking space.

My family and ilI 14 total ranging from 16-86, simply loved this home! It was truly magical and takes you back in time. We all LOVED. exploring the home and gardens and were completely fascinated with all it’s magical knooks and crannies. The home comfortably slept all of us, the kitchen was so perfect and we loved cooking in it and parlours and games were perfect for family game nights and laughter! The owner is a gem to work with! We had so much fun and this home gifted us with so many golden memories that will last us all beyond a life time! Thank you Trish!

Amazing house
This house is amazing! A group of friends and I stayed here for a weekend away and it was so lovely. Patricia and her husband were so accommodating and helpful with any queries we had as well. It is close to the North Coast which has so much to do and we would definitely return.

Harmony Hill is a great place. Comfortable and plenty to do. Even if you travel to it, it is so nice you do not really want to leave the house to do anything. Great for a trip away to relax.

Highly Recommended for a Get away.
First impression was as if you had stepped back in time into a Murder Mystery or game of Cluedo. Everything you need supplied all you need to bring is your food. We were a party of 8 adults and 6 children and everyone enjoyed themselves. The Secret door were of great excitement to the children and indeed the adults only problem we had was finding our way from one room to the next, my husband kept getting lost. The grounds are magnificent with table tennis in one of the green houses, and tree swings. Bedrooms are plentiful and very comfortable, overall would recommend this property highly.

Amazing house
This fascinating property provided excellent accommodation for our four generation family getaway - age range 8 months to 87. The house was full of character with lots to explore. The secret doors and the pool table were a particular success. We enjoyed sing songs around the piano, murder mystery treasure hunts, investigating the grounds, and eating far too much! It was lovely to have a main room large enough for fourteen of us to gather in - cosy with the wood burner going. Really enjoyed our stay.

Like a modern day Jane Austin movie!
We had an excellent time! Our party consisted of 2 sets of grandparents, 2 families of 4 (children 2 and under), and 2 single adults in their 20s. We all loved it and never felt on top of one another. So much charm in this home. Our biggest regret was not staying there longer. The grounds were perfect for some family 'prom' pictures. The location was perfect for any sites you want to visit. About 30 to 60 minutes away. The washer and dryer fuse blew a couple of times but easy to fix. There were problems with the Wi-Fi never working but honestly it was great to be forced to disconnect. Would love to go back!

Stunning spacious property with loads of character
We spent a long weekend here to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. There were 10 adults, 2 teenagers and 5 under 7s. The house is wonderful, it has so much communal space that you can relax by yourself in one of the many rooms despite the fact the house is full. Or all come together in one living room as their are so many seats. The kids loved all the interconnecting rooms and secret passageways and the adults loved sitting on the veranda in the sun admiring the gardens. It was honestly perfect for a big family gathering - great kitchen and all the utensils you could need. A huge dining room and plenty of glasses in the bar! I can't think of a single negative other than the snow (in april) but it gave us an opportunity to get the log fires going - every cloud!
