Press Testimonials

"The perfect rural house party venue. Its elegantly furnished but not a stuffy, don't-touch place"

Elle, Kerry Potter

"The Big House Co is exactly what it says on the tin; it is rather more exclusive than most such companies. These houses are the real thing, situated in acres of grounds with lakes, woods, orchards. The scale of the properties is a dream come true. But better still, these mini Gosford Parks have been given a five star, 21st century upgrade. Efficiency and cleanliness are the priorities here. The house was fabulously well equipped and there were even spare wellington boots. We did have one catered meal dropped off on our first night which was spectacularly good and lasted several days."

Conde Nast Traveller, Shane Watson

"It's a bit like having your own National Trust house for the weekend, only you get to sit in the chairs."

"Guests can combine the luxury and service of a good hotel with the freedom of a cottage rental. 'The eleven bedrooms (at Tone Dale) come in three sizes big, very big and ludicrously big"
Richard Pendlebury The Daily Mail

'Upmarket weekends away are often spoilt by stuffy, over-decorated accommodation or petty rules. This old family house (Tone Dale) is full of precious things, but they're all part of it's history.

Cabinets are not locked, the gardens are for romping in - everything is there for people to use and enjoy"
Louise Chunn The London ES Magazine

"Tone Dale House - one of the very best"
The Sunday Times
