Spent a loveLy weekend at Fenn House. The house is well equipped and the owners are very welcoming. Plenty to do in the area, plenty of places to dine out. Had a lovely meal at the Weighbridge Inn just at the end of the road. All in all a very good stay. Will be going again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Great house for a larger group.
Great house for a larger group. We stayed with a large family and all had their own room. Location was great, quiet and it felt private. Very friendly and helpful owners nearby. Very close to railway into University and city centre. Near canals for a nice stroll and a great pub at the end of the drive. The mattress of the top floor room could use an upgrade, as the springs could be felt. But overall a great place to stay that has all amenities you need (dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, kitchen machine, iron and many more). Highly recommended!
