Very happy

We recently stayed at this lovely cottage and had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay the surroundings were peaceful and relaxing and the gardens were beautiful making it perfect place to unwind.

A perfect wedding location.

The house, the grounds and the rest of the buildings were so lovely. We really did have the best weekend of our lives, it was like a dream. The owner and support staff were all so helpful and fixed any issues really fast. Highly recommended.

A piece of rural England

This is a wonderful place to stay. Accommodation cleanliness, beautiful gardens and the friendliness and kindness of all who work here is amazing. It is our favourite place to stay.

A stunning place

We celebrated and had our wedding ceremony at Cadhay House and Gardens. It's an absolutely idyllic place to get married. We hired the cottages on the grounds too, so all of our guests could stay close by and we could celebrate over 3 days. The gardens are incredible, we ate under the trees for every dinner, the bedrooms and sitting rooms, each different but comfortable and charming. Helen and Rupert were always helpful and welcoming, making it a truly magical place to get married. I couldn't recommend staying at Cadhay enough, for any occasion, thank you very much!

Spring awakening

Peace and tranquility set the scene for this beautiful location. Spring is slowly waking at Cadhays with the daffodils in abundance waving in the breeze. The Coach house is spacious yet has managed to retain the charm of being cosy. A lovely week and we had sunshine a real bonus.

This is our ‘go to’ UK idyll.

The Stables offers spacious and comfortable accommodation, in beautiful surroundings, at a very affordable price. Our three-generation family have recently returned from another memorable stay at Cadhay, and are already planning our next trip back. Staying at Cadhay is wonderfully relaxing and Rupert and Jayne are wonderful hosts, making you feel relaxed and welcome.

A lovely week in the Cider Press

The Cider Press is a lovely small and self-contained cottage, with all the home comforts needed for a week's stay. The lovely walled garden at Cadhay is close by and we enjoyed a tour of the house and garden too, as well as tea in the old Apple Store. We look forward to our next stay on the Cadhay Estate...we have also stayed at the Coach House and Stables in the past and can thoroughly recommend both these houses too.

A wonderful holiday

I have stayed the Stables many times and I keep coming back! It is a beautiful location in a magical setting. The gardens were absolutely beautiful full of variety and colour. To achieve this display with the drought we have experience is exceptional. The gardens must be congratulated.
