Top The Big Cat Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Threshing Barn, Egerton

8/10 Good

"Great space for a large group of family or friends. On site hosts were very accommodating and the breakfast was fantastic. Good garden area for the children/dogs to play in.The only potential drawback is there is a pod directly opposite the barn which luckily wasn't in use when we were there but it could impact on your privacy."

"We hebben genoten van de gastvrijheid van Laura in een heerlijk huis in een mooie omgeving. Het huis van alle gemakken voorzien. En buiten stonden om diverse plaatsen banken zodat je altijd in de zon of schaduw kon zitten. En als we een vraag hadden, werd deze direct beantwoord. Kortom: een aanrader!"

10/10 Excellent

"Such a nice place to stay for me and my friends. The cinema room was my personal favourite! Lovely location out of the way and the host was brilliant. Definitely recommend staying here whether you’re a group of friends or a family!"

Stone Hill Oast Annexe

10/10 Excellent

"The most peaceful place to stay!My cockapoo and I took refuge here whilst our neighbour was having building work done. We had a great time. Lovely off-road walks right on the doorstep. No traffic noise whatsoever. Thereâ€™s a well stocked village store for all groceries and we walked there most days to get supplies. I didnâ€™t use my car all week. The cottage is very comfortable with all needs met including a very generous welcome pack. The double bed has a top quality mattress and luxury cotton bedding. It was hard to get up in the morning. The shower room is en suite.The kitchen has everything one needs plus a great coffee machine!I didnâ€™t go to any pubs or restaurants so canâ€™t comment on these. I was quite happy cocooning in the little cottage just enjoying the peace and tranquility. I didnâ€™t want to leave! I felt like Iâ€™d left the world and its woes behind for a week. If youâ€™re looking for the most peaceful place to recharge your batteries, this is the place to be."
