Very impressive, lovely holiday home, extremely clean, nice and warm and very well equipped. Excellent location and beautiful surrounding gardens. The two resident peacocks kept us all entertained. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Owners, Ann and Peter couldn't have been more helpful. Can highly recommend a holiday at Raincliffe Manor.
Steven
Enjoyed the stay just as much as the first time. Ann and Peter are very accommodating and first class hosts. The Peacock's kept the grand kids amused when we were in the house. Sad to have had to leave again.
