The thoughtful touches, such as welcome treats and well-stocked equipment, are appreciated by guests. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Bedingfield House offers a selection of rooms for guests to relax in, beginning with a sitting room perfect for catching up on your favourite TV shows as you warm your feet beside the inglenook fireplace with grand wood-burning stove, and in warmer months, open the French windows to enjoy the gardens and barbecue area as your four-legged friend reclines on the grass. The second room for guests to enjoy is a drawing room, where sash windows draw in seas of light, a perfect pocket of calm for you to enjoy a book and a cup of tea. Thirdly, there is a fantastic games room, where a TV and bar give a quirky feel to this space, making it an amazing social area for game nights with the whole family. From here, you can discover the real hidden gem of this fantastic house, an indoor swimming pool for use all year round! As mealtimes call, a contemporary kitchen is punctuated by traditional roof beams and joins onto a handy utility and AGA, a space any budding chef will find irresistible, and once you have cooked up a storm, this can be served in a tasteful dining room which can seat all guests.

    We did not want to leave, there is absolutely nothing negative to say!

    Everything you could possibly need to make your stay really special. We had a lovely weekend celebrating my 60th birthday which was made even better with the pool and bar/party room. Everything was perfect, thank you ☺️

    .. and the swimming pool loved by all. Almost every provision thoughtfully supplied, much appreciated attention to detail. Pool table a great addition to this years stay! 'Bedhouse' as we call it, caters for our three generations, to enjoy some precious family time away together. I would mention another large sofa in the lounge may be an idea, as 14 of us but only 9 can be comfortably seated together. Also, no clothes hanging space in downstairs bedroom. Only complaint was Aga unexpectedly not working on arrival, and we brought convenience food for our first evening, of 14 fresh pizzas and sides... impossible to cook in one conventional oven, so our first meal was a disaster! :( Also, there was a problem with the heating, and we were cold much of the time, as almost October and temperatures had dropped.
