  Simply, this is a beautiful property.

  Finished to a very high standard. With a spectacular view outside in a quiet a peaceful area. The surroundings really are quite lovely. The bedrooms, beds, linens and towels are all excellent quality. The carpeting in the hallways and bedrooms was lush. Everything (almost) is comfortable and the hosts should be commended for presenting such a genuinely great building to stay in. Bathrooms (3 toilets not the advertised 2) and showers were really great. Well lit and furnished. Water pressure was high and enjoyable. The WiFi worked great throughout. The heating was top notch. The television while a little on the small size for the living room was a smart TV so streaming services were available. The kitchen was very well equipped, enough to make any sort of meal for even a large group as there are settings for many. Though could use a whisk and some larger drinking glasses. Cooking in it was a pleasure. An instant boil tap means no kettle in sight, it was a great addition. We did have some gripes however, but will point out that this could just be personal preferences but felt necessary to mention... The property is right next to another building. Like almost attached. The pictures do a good job of not showing that. You share a driveway and a car port. We did see the inhabitants several times and they did seem to be peeking once or twice. The building is surrounded by active security cameras, which is great for security but can also give you a slightly uneasy feeling that you're being checked in on by the owners. Inside there are quite a lot of signs and labels telling you not to do something. Every bedroom has a big door to the outside. These all have labels on saying not to open unless it's an emergency. 2 of the rooms have no windows other than this big glass door so it seems a bit restricting. Also one in the living room has that same label. Ugly sheets ruin the look of the kitchen detailing rules to follow and procedures for waste disposal. These things combined to take down the comfort level. Made it seem like you were being watched. Also the giant, very comfy sofa is a recliner. But the controls have been taped up and the power cables removed thus removing that function which is an odd choice. Could also use some pillows.

  What an amazing week spent in Cedar Tree, it most certainly worth the wait. Superb accommodation . The views out of this world of the countryside and all that goes with it...ie the tractors, horses, dogs, cat birds, squirrel, pair of grouses, kites, old planes, hot air balloon, and the sunset views. ..what isn't there to like!!! Plenty of places to visit Kingsclere, Sydmonton, Asley Warren, Whitchurch. Bourne Valley Inn perfect lunch (Beekeeper situation opposite). Watership Down Inn, most definately have to book table as you wont get in otherwise, and the car park gets very full and it isn't easy to park. Whitehill my favourite place :-). Thank you Jenny very much for my lovely retreat holiday .......... its been PERFECT

  Exceptionally amazing

  Our stay at Holly Grove House was exceptionally amazing. We had an awesome family get together where after over 10 years we have managed to stay all together under one roof. This property was truly spacious. special and welcoming for the purpose of our stay. The hosts have taken extra care to ensure all the rooms have been tastefully decorated and the grounds were stunning. The space is ample. The hot tub is an amazing addition to this property. The games room is also a very nice touch to this exquisite property. I would strongly recommend Holly Grove House to anyone who truly appreciates a quality space for special occasions.

  The Cedar Tree is a little spot of perfection in a beautiful location. The hut itself was stunning and super cosy inside, it is extremely well equipped for a totally relaxing stay, just gorgeous. Jenny was the perfect host she went above and beyond with her kindness, on arrival we were greeted with a delicious hamper which was filled with homemade lemon drizzle cake, jam, fresh bread, eggs, butter, wine and you are invited to help yourself to the delicious raw milk as produced on the farm. If your thinking of booking a shepherds hut, please don't let this one pass you by, you won't be disappointed, it's a little gem!
