Fantastic house, great size for gathering our clan for eldest daughters 40th birthday celebrations. Wonderful meal on Saturday night for the adults provided by Suzie. Big bonus was the weather- wall to wall sunshine- hottest weekend of the year! Plenty of toys both indoors and out for the children- the trampoline was a great hit!

A very beautiful place, it has been lovely, thankyou. A truly unholy-holy experience! Had a grand time in a grand place. Thankyou to Ros and Nick for finding such a lovely place to stay.

Amazing place, great views and interesting location.The kids loved running around the open space and playing with all the toys. The quietness of the Vestry a most calming place. Would love to come back in the summer and make the most of the outdoor areas.

Cairns House is privileged to have been chosen as the venue for my 50th birthday celebrations. And we were equally lucky to have found such a wonderful setting. The weather during the weekend was generally unpleasant but the house was filled with sunshine the entire time.

Father and Son assembled here with extended family to celebrate their joint 100th! What a fantastic place and setting. We all sat down to a great dinner served by Gill Orde and her staff and enjoyed ourselves greatly. Thanks to Rupert and Rachel for their imagination and determination.
