A fabulous, half-timbered property, a stone's throw from the picturesque Black and White Village Trail village of Pembridge. Bearwood House enjoys an idyllic rural setting with a luxurious outdoor hot tub, a fabulous games barn, bicycles; and garden games such as croquet, badminton and boules.

Bearwood House is a half-timbered property in an idyllic rural holiday setting. The house is adjacent to but entirely separate from Bearwood Cottage. If the house and cottage are booked together there is ample space in the dining room for 15 guests.

Inside, there's plenty of room to spread out with a large L-shaped sitting room divided by beams, giving separate areas to relax whilst still being together. A large open fire warms the space and plenty of comfy seating is provided to enjoy it. Perfect for catering for large groups, the farmhouse kitchen has both an Aga and an electric oven and hob, and a small breakfast table. The room spills through into an enormous dining room, large enough to seat 15 guests, should the cottage residents be part of your group. One of the five bedrooms is downstairs, along with a shower room. The remaining four bedrooms are upstairs on the first floor; bedroom one enjoys its own en-suite, with a family bathroom servicing the remaining bedrooms.

Endless entertainment is provided inside and out. The house is set in grounds of more than an acre with an arboretum, sunken garden and loggia and there is a luxury outdoor hot tub for six people. The games room contains a pool table, air hockey table, tennis table and darts board. Six bicycles (shared with Bearwood Cottage) including a tandem, croquet, badminton, boules and many other garden games are provided. There is an Xbox, Bose SoundLink and a good selection of board games. Tennis is also available at the owner's house nearby.

Just a mile away in the "black and white" village of Pembridge is the 15th century New Inn where you can be sure of a warm welcome and a hearty meal; a super village shop, cafe and farm shop too; and, less than a mile from Bearwood House is the excellent Cider Barn restaurant, an absolute must for a special lunch or dinner during your stay (gourmet frozen meals can also be picked up to warm up in the Aga at Bearwood House).
