Gatherings and celebrations
The whole party, under one roof
The dining room seats 20 at linked tables, and the bi-fold doors open the whole room to the patio.
Why groups come
Most weekends here have a reason behind them
Read back through the reviews and the same occasions keep appearing: a fortieth, a seventieth, a golden wedding, 4 generations down for the same weekend. Holly Tree House is the kind of house a family books when the occasion matters.
The house takes a full party in its stride. Everyone eats in one room, the games room and the hot tub absorb the teenagers, and the sitting rooms hold the quieter conversations.
When the weather plays along, the doors fold back and the party spills onto the patio; when it doesn't, there is space enough indoors that nobody minds.
4 generations, one long weekend.
The practical part
Built for a full house
-
1 room that seats 20
2 long tables push together under the bi-fold doors, so dinner happens in one sitting rather than in shifts.
-
A kitchen that can cope
2 ovens, a 6-ring hob, 2 dishwashers and 2 larder fridges. Guests who cook for 20 keep mentioning it.
-
Beds for every combination
9 bedrooms across 2 upper floors: doubles, twins, a 4-bed room and a bunk room for the children.
-
Corners to escape to
2 sitting rooms and a snug with open fires and shelves of books, for the hour when the party gets loud.
-
Help, if you want it
Catering and pampering can be arranged as extras. The house stays self-catering unless you ask.
-
And the dogs come too
Up to 3 well behaved dogs are welcome, and the woods start at the gate.
