Guests say

Strelley Court Farm is highly praised for its spaciousness, modern amenities, and suitability for large groups. The property's cleanliness, generous provision of ensuite bathrooms, and thoughtful touches like a well-equipped kitchen and games room are frequently commended. The picturesque setting and warm welcome from the hosts contribute to a delightful stay, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Most guests found the property to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as under furniture and in some kitchen appliances. These were minor points in the context of overall positive feedback.

While the reviews mention a pleasant rural setting and proximity to local areas of interest, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess guests' satisfaction with the location. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

The property is consistently described as comfortable, with ample space, large bedrooms, and a variety of entertainment options. The presence of a games room and large garden adds to the comfort enjoyed by guests. Some minor comments about sofa bed comfort and shower pressure do not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

Facilities are generally well-received, with special mentions of the kitchen equipment, sound system, and games room. However, there are suggestions for improvements such as additional microwaves, better BBQ maintenance, and updates to some sports equipment. A few maintenance issues were raised, but these do not overshadow the overall high regard for the facilities.

Guests frequently express appreciation for the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as beverages in the fridge and prompt responses to queries. While these gestures are highly valued, it is important to note that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The village is home to a Castle in the centre with extensive gardens open to the public which include waterfalls, bridges and a lake. The village has a large cobbled market place in the centre, overlooked by the Boar's Head - an old coaching inn which offers a restaurant, bar and bistro.

    The showers were good, although a few of our group had difficulty regulating the temperature. And although they look great, the stairs were a bit challenging for a few of our group. The games room was a bonus and overall we had a great stay!

  • Dave

    It's a great space for a large family gathering as ours was. Facilities were spot on, Tv's & Sound systems very easy to use. Beds are comfortable and all rooms are a good size. the only slight negative I would give is that some areas are looking a little dated and the cleanes could pay a little bit more attention to detail as some areas were not as I would have expected. I didn't feel it was necessary to contact the owner over it but would say its the only reason I haven't given 5* all the way across. It wouldn't stop me recommending the place to others at all.

    They had left some beer left in fridge for us which was very kind. Property is kept lovely & ideal for large gatherings, the house has everything you need. A bonus is having the games room. We all had a fantastic time. Fab place.
