Churchill House Reviews

Emma
We recently stayed at the Farmhouse and it was genuinely lovely. Having three generations together felt special-lots of great memories made! The house itself was spot on-warm, roomyand beautifully decorated. The two dishwashers were such a bonusand the electric car charging was handy. We loved the hot tub and the boot room. The tour with Lord D was really interestingand the gardens are absolutely stunning-perfect for a peaceful walk. We’re already planning to come back, maybe with more grandchildren next time!
Emma Carter
Great place, would recommend
Emma
We had a lovely stay on this charming farm estate, surrounded by friendly folks who genuinely made us feel welcome. The house was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully decorated, perfect for all ages. It comfortably accommodated three generations with spacious rooms and plenty of amenities. The family room upstairs was a hit with the kids! We also enjoyed free daily visits to the Himalayan gardens, plus the hot tub and heated pool were real highlights. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and we’d love to come back sometime!
Emma
We recently stayed at this lovely house with our big family of 16and everyone had a great time. The place is really spacious and beautifully decorated, with comfy furnishings all around. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking easy. We loved the little extras, like books in each room, that really added a nice touch. The pool, tennis courts, large gardenand hot tub kept the kids entertained for ages. The tour of Minterne house and free garden access were definitely highlights. Would definitely recommend!
Emma
We had an amazing stay! The location is stunning and really peaceful. Big thanks to Henry for giving us a lovely tour of the house, really appreciated it.
Emma
We stayed at this spacious place with eight bedrooms, perfect for a family gathering. The top floor has a safe kids' room with heritage toys, ideal for movie nights and popcorn - a real hit with the little ones and peace for parents! The main living areas are lovely and great for celebrations, opening onto a beautiful garden where we played croquet and hide & seek. The hot-tub was a big favourite for all ages, from 2 to 80!
Emma
This place is lovely, super comfyand the area has plenty to see and do.
