"All children loved the games room, great atmosphere & different families could mix & play games together. Horseriding trails were beautiful, gold panning was great fun, meals room was cosy & warm on cold winter nights. Rooms were comfortable & warm. Staff were friendly & catered for food allergies very well."

"A stay at Chesleigh Homestead takes you 'Far from the Madding Crowd' - a place to wind down from the stresses and strains of city life. It's an ideal family escape where you can be as active or as relaxed as you want. Jan and Mike are wonderful hosts, from organising delicious and wholesome meals, to planning the activities of the day and entertaining guests to poetry and song during the evening. The homestead is set in stunning countryside and the practical accommodation has that rustic feel. With the added value of the 'Games Room' and the opportunity to gather around the well stoked campfire for early evening imbibing, I would recommend it highly to anyone."
