A tastefully presented, generously equipped, welcoming house with beautiful views and well cared for grounds.  The snooker room, toast on the Aga and the wide ranging supply of reading material were a particular hit.
We received helpful, friendly and efficient service from owner and housekeeper before, during and after our stay.  
All in all a great setting for a three generation family holiday.

Toftcombs Mansion House

 From Strensall, United Kingdom

We hired Toftcombs to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday as a surprise gathering of our close family.  The house was stunning, extremely comfortable and large enough for everyone to be under one roof but at the same time have plenty space.  The weather was good to us and we spent my husbands birthday playing badminton and croquet on the lawn whilst the children amused themselves around the grounds.  Claire was a joy to deal with and easily accessible by e-mail.  Jan the housekeeper met us on arrival and spent time with us showing us round before heading off and leaving us to have a great time.  We would highly recommend Toftcombs which is by far one of the most impressive homes we have every stayed in in the UK.

We celebrated my wifes 40th Birthday at Toftcombs, with seven other couples. It was an excellent weekend made all the better by the venue. It is a beautifully maintained property full of interesting and eclectic features, which also had the ambience of a warm comfortable family home. The house had excellent amenities, with everything you would require to host a sumptuous dinner party.

A birthday weekend we will not forget in a hurry!

 From Johnstone, United Kingdom

A fantastic property in a great location. We had a family weekend at the house and it exceeded all expectations. 

We would definitely look at booking again!

 From Sunderland, United Kingdom

Excellent accommodation.  Lots of bathrooms including ensuites so excellent for large parties.  Warm house with central heating and woodburning stoves.  Good golf courses nearby.  Super eating kitchen for large group.  Great billiard room and two lounges to spread out in.

 From Stockport, United Kingdom

We went to Toftcombs in February 2008. It was a family get together to celebrate my wife's 40th and my sister's 50th birthdays.

Toftcombs was the perfect place for such a celebration and everyone had a great time. The house itself is fantastic, the rooms are enormous and it's easy to get lost in there! The pictures on the internet don't really do it justice, you have to be in it to appreciate it. My wife and I had the Master bedroom which incorporates an en-suite and a turret dressing room and combined is probably the size of a small terraced house! The kitchen was fantastic, so was the main lounge and snooker room and just about everything else in the house.

The village of Biggar is about 15 minutes walk and has most things you'll need on a short break. There are about three or four nice pubs/restaurants and various takeaways (chippy, Indian, Chinese etc) and a few other shops. Edinburgh is about 45 minutes drive. We ordered a minibus and the cost shared between thirteen was reasonable and we had a really good day there. There are many places to walk in the area too (I didn't partake myself but a few of our party did).

All in all, a fantastic weekend and all of us will have fond memories of our stay at Toftcombs and who knows, one day we may do it again. An experience I'd certainly recommend.

 From Wigan, United Kingdom

Our whole group thought that Toft Combs was an amazing rental property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all of a high standard. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use, even when catering on a large scale. The grounds were fantastic for dogs. Some members of the group spent hours in the snooker room!

 From Kingston

My wife and I booked Toftcombs for our wedding based on the wonderful pictures and 360 degree tour online as we had to plan from abroad. We were both blown away by Toftcombs in-person! This property is infinitely more beautiful than any picture could ever convey. Our entire group of 16 raved about their experience at Toftcombs. Each room is unique and enjoyable, especially the snooker room! Cant wait to get the group back together for a reunio n someday at Toftcombs...

 From Westbrook, Maine Usa

We rented Toftcombs for a long weekend for our wedding - our whole family stayed in the house Scottish and American relatives all had the time of their lives - a big part of this was down to the expectional accomodation - the house is so beautiful and exceeded all our expectations with wonderful decor and everything you will need plus a definate wow factor - this was matched with a very warm welcome from the housekeeper - the owners and staff went out of their way to ensure that our stay was perfect and provided us with support and help for organising the wedding - what can I say Toftcombs made our wedding a truly unforgettable day - I would highly recommend.

 From Edinburgh

Toftcombs house COMPLETELY exceeded our expectations which were already very high. This was a surprise trip for my fathers 70th birthday and I strongly recommend anyone having a family re-union to book right away. The house has everything you need for a perfect hide-away......TV/DVD room, music room upstairs, fantastic full size snooker room, beautiful lounge with cd player for relaxing and with an open fire or stove in almost every room which really makes you feel at home!!!!

The house is full of so many surprises, which will take some time to discover. 

Sara, the housekeeper was fantastic, and made us feel like old friends within minutes of arriving.

The village of Biggar is within 10-15 mins walk and has several wonderful independant shops selling some fantastic gifts etc. Also every type of store is represented - take-away, restaurant, bar, grocery, butcher etc etc.

Our family's time at Toftcombs will be talked about fondly for a very long time and I strongly urge anyone looking for a family get-away to get booking!!!!!!
