Hambleton House Reviews

We were really happy with the accommodation. It was great to have such a big house with space. With ages from 4 to 74 we all had our own space. The hot tub was a great hit as was the games room. It was nice to have such a big house were you could walk into the shops etc. Would definitely recommend.
Great large property for family stay
Teresa
Fabulous spacious property for a large group. The house is very spacious for a family gathering, huge kitchen, dining room, sitting room and then two bonus areas. A games room with table football, darts & a pool table plus a large TV for watching sport etc. A second covered outside sitting area with lights, heaters and a very large, spotlessly clean jacuzzi. The kitchen is very well stocked with crockery, pans etc to very easy to cook for 20 people, two freezers and fridges plus a drinks fridge. Each bedroom had its own ensuite which ensured we had our own privacy and space. The bathrooms had a combination of showers or some baths, with plenty of towels. We didnt use them, but there is also a TV in each room if someone wanted downtime. As a final bonus large drive for over 10 cars, so no parking charges for the whole weekend.
Very enjoyable stay at Hambleton House. Standards generally high but there were a few things that could have been better. Bedroom 1 neither of the bedside lights worked. Bedroom7 very low water pressure in the shower. Bedrooms 811 radiators not working. Insufficient cutlery for the number of guests. We were told a stairgate would be available but we could not find it. Overall though, a great place to stay for a large group of people
Jennifer
We spent a long weekend at Hambleton House to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday, with ages ranging from 5 to 75. Everyone had a fantastic time. The house was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and all the rooms were clean, tidy and very comfortable. We would happily book again.
Jim Matthews
Hambleton House was a really good place for us to meet up for our annual gathering of 2 families. Right in the heart of the large village of Castle Donnington, which has quite a few narrow roads, the guaranteed car parking space was a real plus. The property was warm and inviting with a variety of spaces for various combinations of family to gather and share together. We had our 'puzzle' room, our 'reading' room as well the designated games room which many of us enjoyed over the 4 days including the old fashioned Atari Arcade game and there was the hot tub area. The only space that didn't quite work for us collectively was the dining room which we all couldn't get into for a single seating. The kitchen served each of our 'cooks' well with a different one stepping up each night and was a good focal point for our breakfasts as folks descended in their own time. We had great fun allocating bedrooms and everyone was complimentary about the one they were in. There was one room which we felt was musty but we did have 2 rooms to spare with our party so it didn't have to be used. Overall, the feeling was very positive towards Hambleton House from our whole party and we would be more than happy to return to it.
Really good accommodation for large groups. Several separate areas which work well. Great games room and hot tub. Kitchen very well equipped. Bedrooms were all fine. Only a few points Id note no instructions for the cookeroven or dishwasher. Decor a bit datedtired in places. Carpet throughout the upstairs is the same pattern so we tripped several times on steps. No ends in the pool cues. But on the whole wed definitely book again the future.
Richard
We had a wonderful time celebrating my wifes birthday at Hambleton House. The kitchen, games room, dining room and outdoor hot tub were all fantastic and made the stay really special. We did have a small issue with one of the radiators not working, but aside from that everything was excellent and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Several friends of ours have been asking about the property so I have provided links back to this lovely property which I would happily return to.
Gurdeep
This place was amazing. It accommodated us, 10 adults, 7 kids and 1 dog, really well and the location was great too. With plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We particularly loved the games room and hot tub, not to mention the great parking too! The property was really well presented overall and we had everything we needed to make it a very memorable stay.
