    We had a wonderful stay, so spacious, quiet and everything we could possibly need. We were lucky to stay during a really hot week so made the most of the pool and shady areas in the garden. Perfect if you want somewhere away from it all

    A beautiful historic property situated deep in the countryside, beautiful setting. Garden was very big and perfect for the kids (aged 9 months to 9 years) to play in and they loved the pool and table tennis. The property itself has lots of character- be careful of the low beams! Lots of kitchen utensils and books to read, snug was perfect for the evenings and we had a lovely fire pit one evening. Only problem we encountered was with the heating, the hosts were easily contactable to help with this.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the pictures do not do it justice. The garden was huge which the boys loved. Only moan was the gardener started mowing the lawns at 8am which woke everyone and we advised the owner. Otherwise I would highly recommend.

    Great outdoor and indoor activities - we were blessed with great weather. So peaceful and a huge garden and large pool. House is full of character with low ceilings and wonky floors but it is 15th century ! We all had a fabulous time :)

    We loved staying in Mayfield and enjoying the garden and pool, which was a highlight with the teenagers as the weather was so good. The hosts laid out really clear instructions to help our stay go smoothly. There was everything we could possibly need and the beds were very comfy. We would recommend this place to others and would love to come back again.

    We, 6 adults & 3 children, loved the house and gardens and there was a lot of activities on offer such as table tennis, darts, crocket, football, table games, etc. The kitchen facilities were very good and we loved the cosy kitchen, dinning & TV room. The living room was great and we played a few 'Articulate' games which was enjoyable. The shops were not too far away and dinning out in Mayfield was also fabulous. The only draw back was the weather. We had only 2-3 good sunny days during the week's stay but we made the most of it. Bibleham house is certainly a lovely place to stay at.

    The views were stunning. The cottage was quaint and cosy. The pool cannot be heated at this time of year to an adequate temperature and therefore unless you have wet suits or like wild water swimming, the pool is far too cold. The pool table and table tennis table were great assets for rainy days and a great source of entertainment for everyone. The open fireplace was a great bonus and the property is large enough so that everybody can find their own space.
