The property was stunning with plenty of room for all of us to celebrate our mum's 70th birthday. So much for the children to do and the house was well equipped with everything we needed, including towels

Excellent!
We were a group of 4 families with young children and we had a lovely stay. The house is large, comfortable, well equipped and full of character. It is well located close to the coast & Exmoor and it has a beautiful garden the kids really enjoyed. There was a slight hiccup but Tracy was very responsive and sorted everything out very promptly. Thanks!

Great stay
This is our 3rd year coming over Easter. The house is great for a large party. There were 17 of us, children and adults and it worked extremely well. It is very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely outdoor spaces. The trampoline is a must for our kids. The toys and outdoor facilities and equipment could do with replacement and refurbishment.

Mum’s 70th Weekend
Great property and location on the edge of Exmoor. Prefect for the whole family - 4 generations. Tracey was brilliant in terms of communicating with us, and confirming a few queries / Concerned we had prior to the stay. Property was well equipped, everything and more in the kitchen etc. couldn’t fault comfort of beds etc. Only issue was for anyone with mobility issues, although there was bedroom and amazing wet room downstairs - which was prefect - there were a few small steps in and out different rooms on the ground floor. Upstairs the two main bathrooms had 2/3 steep steps from the landing into them. Overall an amazing property prefect for family celebrations.

Excellent multi generational holiday house
Our party consisted of 21 people ranging from 6 months to 79. All bedrooms were comfortable and warm and the teenagers slept in the bunk bed room and were happy with that. Well planned and functional kitchen with most gadgets we required and much crockery. Dining room excellent for evening suppers and living rooms very comfortable. Most bathrooms were excellent. Grounds and playthings for children both on lawn and courtyard were great. I would recommend more toys and games for the under 8s.

Characterful house ideal for large family get together
We really enjoyed our stay at Lowood. It was very exciting to spend time in the house. It felt like a mixture of a boutique hotel, rambling historic house, welcoming family home and activity holiday. Our party ranged from 2 1/2 twins, 10 year old, 2 teenagers, their parents, 80 year old grandma plus two dogs. It worked well for all of us. We particularly liked the enclosed courtyard where we had an 80th birthday party and lots of games of ping pong. We would thoroughly recommend the property. All processes were straightforward.

Week Away
The property was rural and quiet, the layout was good but the furniture could do with some attention being quite musty when we arrived. Unable to use the courtyard due to hundreds of wasps feeding on the rotten dates from a tree needing some TLC. The family loved the week which makes it all good

Bi-Annual Family Gathering
Family party of 18 rented this house for a week. The host was very accommodating providing extra z-beds. The kitchen & dining room were first class as was the utility room with extra dishwasher; fridge/freezer; washing machines etc. The lounge and library furniture is starting to show it's age as is the outdoor furniture. The beds in all the bedrooms were very comfortable and we all got a good night's sleep. Would recommend this house to any large group.

Great house for big family holiday!
The house was lovely for our multigenerational family holiday of 17! Kids loved getting lost in the house, we all adored eating out in the characterful courtyard and getting cosy by the fire! Great kitchen for cooking in and a large dinning table to accommodate us all! Tracy was a wonderful host and we very much hope to return!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
This property was sooo much bigger than it looked in the pictures which was a bonus! All the rooms have a quirky different theme and the large patio garden with the lights added to the ambience. The house and kitchen were kitted out with all the essential bits and bobs, which were helpful for cooking for large groups. The hot water bottles and towels for guests were a lovely touch in a cold and windy February. Tracy was an excellent host, great communication and an easy check in! Thanks for having us :)

Grandpa's 80th birthday
We were a party of 20 plus from all over the country coming to celebrate a 80th birthday. We all loved the location, the house itself and all the quirkiness it offered. The only negative was on arrival the house felt stuffy and some rooms smelt a little stale. Some of the windows especially downstairs in the wet room didn't open which made the bathroom very damp. Overall though this did not spoil our stay there and we all loved it especially the outdoor area... We had a lovely bbq and the kids lived the river and the trampoline. We would definitely book again. The Burr family.

Lovely place for a family break
We came here with our family for the weekend. Tracy was very helpful and everything was as described. The house was great for everyone to get together, and there were lots of games for the children, including badminton, table tennis and a trampoline. The kitchen was lovely and big and the dining area was great too. Thanks for a lovely stay.

What a lovely family friendly place to stay. The brilliant extras of games and books and outdoor games and facilities for all ages was great addition. Everyone slept well and enjoyed the weekend. We would recommend for families. We had 10 adults and 5 children aged 8 and under.
