Chestnut Grange Reviews

Catherine
We had a fantastic Christmas stay at Chestnut grange. The area is beautiful, it was perfect for the needs of all our guests. Child and dog friendly. All the essentials in the kitchen and more! We would definitely return. Thank you.
The property was very well stocked, clean, lots of room and a great location. We, as a family of 9, were in England from Canada for our daughter's wedding in Newmarket. The entire process from initial booking, payment, duration of stay and departure was easy and seamless. Would highly recommend this cottage for large groups.
