Bed Configuration
"We had a wonderful time last week at Viney Hill Country House. It was a special event for us all, celebrating my wife's 70th birthday. We enjoyed many aspects of the Forest of Dean - canoeing on the river, cycling the trails, walking in the woodland and paddling in the streams. But best of all we enjoyed the house and all its facilities. We felt welcome from the time we arrived and none of us really wanted to leave."
David, Stratford-upon-Avon
"The fantastic weather meant we were able to enjoy the great space outdoors and the trampoline! Viney Hill was a great house for us to rent with so many adults and children."
Jo, Tring
"We had an absolutely brilliant time. The kids loved the pool and the trampoline, the facilities for the adults were great and even the weather was perfect. Thank you."
Neil, Swindon
"We would like to thank you for providing us with a fantastic house in which to celebrate my Fathers 80th Birthday. We were a party ranging from 19 -80 years old and the house provided everything we required, it was beautifully clean when we arrived and we hopefully left it in as good a state. We will certainly be returning in the future and will recommend you to our friends. Thank you once again"
