The perfect Location for a 30th Birthday
Hockwold hall is the perfect accomodation for your next group getaway. We loved the set up and everything this property had to offer e.g. seating for 24 people, cellar which is perfect for a dance room into the little hours, a large kitchen and bbq area, games room and music room! Richard the owner was great at communicating with us and was the perfect host - only popping in when we needed assistance or to check whether we needed anything. We couldn't have found a more perfect property!

Stunning property, with all the amenities that we could have asked for.
The property is beautiful, we felt like we were staying in a castle! Richard the owner was extremely helpful and responded immediately to any queries that we had. The grounds were very pretty and the hot tub and sauna were a fabulous addition! There was an abundance of accommodation, meaning that the sleeping arrangements were very easy to plan. We would definitely recommend this lovely home to others and will hopefully one day return!

Family Weekend Away
Have just spent a fabulous weekend at this amazing house. 16 family members ages from 7 to 78. Something for everyone to enjoy especially the children who spent most of the time outdoors. All of the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the whole house is spotlessly clean. Would certainly recommend and am hopeful that one day we can return.

Wonderful family getaway!
We had a wonderful time at Hockwold Hall! We recently spent 5 days there with our 4 children and my husband's parents. There was plenty of room to spread out! The gardens were just beginning to awaken and were beautiful! There was plenty to do for all between table tennis, snooker, and outdoor tennis(even though it was a bit chilly). The children and grown ups were well entertained! The rooms were clean as were the bathrooms. The kitchen was perfect for family gatherings. Richard and Selica were extremely gracious and very accommodating. We highly recommend Hockwold Hall.
