What our guests say
10 genuine 50th birthday reviews· 5.0 out of 5 average rating
“We stayed in this property to Celebrate my husbands 50th birthday with extended family age ranging from 9months to 76 years old. The property was perfect for what we wanted, loads of space to spread out and lovely areas to congregate. The outside area with hot tub sauna and games room was great and was used despite the rainy weather. Would love to return sometime and maybe make use of the pool area. Thanks for a great stay”
“It was a lovely place for 20 of us to fit in and celebrate my husband’s 50th. The hot tubs and pools were great for all the kids and my dog loved the local fields.”
“The photos don't do it justice! Amazing place with everything you need! We came to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday with family (15 of us) the accommodation couldn't have been more perfect. The music/cinema room and games were a favourite of ours, and, even though, there were 15 of us it felt spaced out. Would highly recommend!”
“New year’s stay to celebrate a 50th birthday with a family of 12. Bedrooms were spacious with a variety of layouts offered by Gill to suit our needs. We loved the hot tub and sauna, especially as it snowed on our second night. The log burner was perfect to warm up after a brisk walk to Harry’s cider farm and the local farm shop (recommend the fresh milkshakes there). Wonderful place. Thank you, would love to revisit and try out the pool in warmer months.”
“We had the most wonderful stay at Threshing Barn. The setting is beautiful and the barns were so cozy and clean. Gorgeous walks, welcoming pubs , making it the perfect weekend for my 50th birthday with friends. Gill and George were lovely hosts. Happy to help in anyway. The hot tub, sauna and pool table were a lovely extra touch. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a memorable weekend.”
“The house was perfect for us. Ideal place for all our family to celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary and 3 special birthdays together! The kitchen is very well equipped with all you could need to cater for an extended family. The private swimming pool, hot tub and sauna were very much enjoyed and the shared main pool allotted times worked really well. Our grandchildren loved it! In fact we all did! It was an amazing holiday. We have made many wonderful memories. Thank you”
“Amazing few days away at Gill’s for my parents 50th with the whole family. Gill was super helpful both prior to and during our stay. Local recommendations which were amazing! (Guys wine tasting is a must!!) The house was perfect and the pool and hot tub was great for a group of us! Would highly recommend and will be back!”
“We had a wonderful stay at Long Sutton - we were 5 families celebrating 50th birthdays. It’s a fabulous find and even better than the photos. Gill and her son George were incredibly responsive, helpful and flexible. We’ve already recommended it to friends. Thank you for a fabulous stay!”
“We booked 3night stay for 7 couples as a surprise 50th birthday. We were extremely happy with our choice the house was perfect in lots of ways. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Nice touches throughout from lovely welcome cake down to robes and slippers for our guests who had bought there own camper van. The house was clean and welcoming, we had a welcome talk on arrival and was then left to our own devices unless we needed Gill. It would have been nice to maybe of had our towels changed at least once and a top up of toilet rolls. We will definitely visit again.”
“We had a lovely weekend at Gills place for my 50th birthday. The house was immaculately clean with plenty of space for all 15 of us. There was a lovely cake left for us on arrival which was a lovely touch. The hot tub and the sauna were used no end of times and the outside space was ideal for ball games . Couldn't have wished for a better property or area to stay in. Thanks Deborah Barry x”
