Wonderful Family Trip
We stayed at this beautiful property celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay - the house was beautifully presented with excellent amenities ( we particularly loved the outdoor fire / couch area and the magnificent views). Tania was a wonderful and responsive host, making planning very easy. Would stay here again for sure.

A fantastic home away from home
Olive Grove is a welcoming, relaxing, tidy home with lots of spaces for everyone to enjoy. Perfect for two families. Perfect for teenagers who want their own space. Loads of things to do and of course perfect location to the lake. We can’t wait to come back

A perfect family holiday
I can’t speak highly enough of this wonderful property. Family of ten (3 generations) met here and we just had the best time. Close enough to Mansfield for shops and the local pub for a lunch. Far enough away to feel like you are truly on holiday. The view is something else! Absolutely spectacular and the wildlife had everyone gaping. There is so much to do at the property and nearby lake that you won’t want to leave. I wholeheartedly recommend The Olive Grove for a very special holiday!

The complete package!
What an amazing home! You guys have thought of every detail to make our MIL's 80th birthday something we will all never forget. The house has plenty of living space indoors as well as the perfect setup for enjoying the outdoors too. Comfortable beds, and a kitchen with absolutely everything you would possibly need. Your excellent communication and the way you accommodated our needs were A1👌! The view was the icing on the cake. Thank you for gifting the champagne also, we can't wait to come back ❤️.

We had the most incredible weekend away with friends at The Olive Grove. I would highly recommend The Olive Grove to anyone looking for a fabulous getaway and would stay again! The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a large group. It was so warm and cozy for winter with the hot tub and indoor and outdoor fires.. The views were amazing. Tania was a great host and communication was a breeze. Thank you for having us.

Amazing
The Olive Grove exceeded our expectations. It was a truly wonderful property with amazing views and provided absolute peace and serenity. The house had all the amenities we could have ever needed, super comfy beds and bedding. We loved it and were very sad we hadn't booked for longer.

Disappointed - be careful.
This is a reluctant bad review as this could have been an amazing holiday but for a couple of issues that have not been resolved in the appropriate manner. I booked Olive Grove and stayed with my family - 5 Adults and 9 teenagers for 7 nights from 26/12/21 to 2/1/22 The property itself has amazing views and is set up well. Unfortunately the bore water that services the bungalow has the most repulsive smell that makes staying in the bungalow impossible. It smells like the sewer and the owners and property manager fail to believe how bad this actually is. This was pointed out to a neighbour who could not believe the smell, it is absolutely disgusting. 4 teenage girls left due to the smell that put a damper on our holiday. We had issues with garbage removal that need addressing in the future and we were unlucky to have a water pump seize during our stay costing us 24 hrs with out running water. Unable to shower or use toilet in main house and the smell in the bungalow meant we went without! The property manager and owners failed to compensate us for the issues and had the audacity to send me an email saying I was unwelcome back at the property in the future. Having been an owner of a holiday rental I advertised and ran on Stayz for many years I can say that the arrogance of these people is astounding. Is this property spectacular - yes. Would I stay again - no For those staying in the future think carefully in case something goes wrong as the owners believe that they have don’t need to compensate holiday makers when things go wrong. Terrible customer service and bad business sense. This is the first bad review I have ever written and do so knowing that I have the high moral ground. What a shame!
