Our group of 6 adults and 4 children really enjoyed the space during December 2017. The house has ample space, furnishings, cutlery and crockery for groups. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed walks daily. It is situated close enough for day trips around the meander but secluded enough to enjoy nature and privacy. The owners are kind and friendly hosts. I definitely recommend Hillhouse accommodation to anybody searching to recharge their tired souls.

We stayed at Hillhouse in December 2017 and it was an awesome experience. The farmhouse is kitted out with everything one needs on holiday, the views are stunning, the location is awesome - just a few minutes away from the freeway, yet it felt like deep countryside. It offers the opportunity for long leisurely walks and the owners are friendly, helpful and extremely hospitable. We even got a historical tour of the farm, most exciting for those of us living the rat race. Enjoy the space for the whole family or lots of friends in one place.

Our large family group visited Hill House in December - what a beautiful place! Hill House is the most amazing farm shed conversion - quirky, characterful, comfortable and inviting, it was perfect for us, with more than enough space for us all to relax, unwind and enjoy the stunning views and beautiful countryside. We took long, rambling walks through the farmland with our two dogs, spent long evenings by the fire on the chillier days, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A most memorable holiday that we hope to repeat many times! Hill House - definitely our new family favourite.

What an unforgettable weekend we had at Hillhouse! We were 4 friends that were looking for accommodation close to Midmar because we were doing the triathlon on the Sunday. The Lake House is absolutely beautiful with a breath taking view. A true gem, we are certainly going back, this year with more friends and booking the Hill House this time! Thank you Mandy Crooks, I am so glad I stumbled across your website.

A charming place, with picturesque views. It was the ideal backdrop for our large, loud, and somewhat mad family's Christmas holiday. There's ample space for everyone and lots of stuff to keep everyone busy with. It's close enough for Nottingham road excursions, and secluded enough to not feel like part of the flood of December holiday goers. The kitchens were geared enough and we cooked up a storm for 14 people everyday. Even the fireplace made our very cold, misty Christmas day nice and cozy.

We had another great stay at Forest House, Hill house. The simlpicity of design and added detail from the beautifu fresh cut flowers in the rooms are always so welcoming. We will most definatley be back.

Meh. Nice location, roads are not great getting in. The place is big and lots of eating space but it needs lots of fixing up. The furniture is gross and old. Very dirty kitchen utensils, says it sleeps 12 but really only sleeps 10 (with 2 random mattresses laying about). Lack of attention to detail, no soap in the bathrooms to wash your hands, hand towels are dirty. Generally not great.

Great venue.
Foresthouse is fantastic, but the water feels slimey at times which makes showering less enjoyable.
Hillhouse is big, but feels a little disjointed and is not great for toddlers (too many stairs and an out of sight fireplace), but it's great for large groups.
Although my review has more negatives, (shorter to list than the positives), the 4 stars highlights how the positives outweigh the negatives.response / report this review
