Amazing weekend with friends.
We have just returned from an absolutely fabulous stay at Harkstead Hall. The house is beautiful. Spacious and has absolutely everything you need for a fun stay with friends. I went prepared with all the usual kitchen essentials but found that it was not needed. Dishwasher tablets, coffee filters, it was all there. The house is warm, clean and the hot tub is just fabulous. Communication before the trip was great and everything set up as we had asked. The speaker they provide is great. The location is also lovely. We cycled at Alton water which was lots of fun and had a gorgeous lunch at the kings head Sutton. Would highly recommend.
