What our guests say

Real stories and feedback from people who have celebrated, stayed, and gathered at Mission House.

"This accommodation was cosy, private and away from the city. It has lovely dining options close by and is just perfect for a relaxing, peaceful stay. We loved the decor inside, so much detail to take in and observe, considering it was once a little shop! The 3 horses roam around the property and there are cute sheep too! Penny is informative and very friendly, thanks Penny for a lovely stay!"

"We had the most fantastic few days in this well appointed house, that has been lovingly, uniquely and tastefully decorated by Penny and John, who do go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and at home. Its spaciousness is further emphasized by the surrounding landscape and views. Well worth the missed international flights back to Europe!"
