We had an amazing time at Fairsnape! The views from the house are truly stunningand it really lived up to what was promised. The place was spotless, super comfyand felt brand new. There’s plenty of space and different seating areas, plus balconies for everyone to relax. The wraparound terrace was just incredible-the bi-fold doors make the outside feel like part of the inside. An unforgettable trip, thanks to everyone who made it special!

We stayed at Fairsnape and honestly, it’s a lovely place. The view from the property is stunningand the wrap-around slate patio was perfect for relaxing evenings. The house itself is finished to a high standard and was spotless when we arrived.
