Buckingham House Reviews

A beautiful property, so comfortable and homely! Would definitely return, it was in a great location to relax and like a home away from home!
Sandra
Great place to stay as two couples as plenty of shared space but separate bedrooms & bathrooms so your own space as well. My only improvement suggestions are We missed the turning off the main road as it looked like a gravel farm track so might be useful to say in the directions turn right after the allotments on to a gravel road & then first right. Also there were no instructions for anything from appliances to hot tub & departure info such as please turn the heating down & strip the beds. We did what we thought was 'right' when we left so hoped it was enough. A couple of ideas for local walks might also be nice. But these are minor things overall we had a great time.
Kalvert
Lovely modern property super clean and set in a fantastic location if you want to just switch off from the world which we did. The property had everything we needed, was huge! It had a well appointed kitchen, hidden utility room was a great find and so well done! Huge bonus was a fantastic Nespresso machine with pods included! Super comfortable beds and linen, loved that each room had its own ensuite so if you came with family no waiting for the bathroom! The log fire was so cosy and warm, we only used it once and the same with the hot tub, but that was mainly due to the poor weather and rain. TV was huge and we were able to log into our Netflix which was nice. The owner called us on the day after check in to make sure we were ok which was a lovely personal touch and really appreciated. We did struggle to get through the electric gates the night we arrived Im not sure how we got in but pressed a load of buttons and they opened! Perhaps these instructions in the Sykes App with the lock box code would be good. The only things that would be helpful would be perhaps a 1 page guide with this information, the fact there was a remote gate fob and also the WiFi password as I had to go hunting in the cupboard for it but did find it eventually. Perhaps a list of local supermarkets, shops etc is useful but honestly these are just thoughts we had and didnt deter from our stay! 100 we will be back again very soon as loved it and will bring the parents for a long weekend too!
