What our guests say
We have absolutely loved spending time at the Four Oaks House with family this weekend to celebrate a family members special birthday. The house is very spacious, clean and very accommodating for all ages groups. Everyone in our group has had a wonderful time. The staff are contactable at any point during the stay to help with anything, which was a bonus. A fabulous place to stay, highly recommended and we definitely wish to return
We recently stayed at four oaks house and had a fabulous time, the house was great for everyone especially the kids they all had the best time. It has everything you need just take food and clothes, we booked the swimming pool in Dalston too which was fab! And had a walk to the little park down the road. It’s ideal for a group/family break. The communication with the hosts before/during and after has been great too.
we stayed in January 2025 , fabulous house , everything you could need to keep the kids entertained (don't think I heard them say I'm bored once, which is a first). All room clean and tidy. customer service brilliant. Definitely recommend 10/10. Thank you again for a lovely stay and fabulous weekend
