Verified Amazing time had by all in a wonderful property and village.

☺Stunning property, amazing gardens which are really well kept, kitchen was brilliant with an excellent large double oven with gas hob, the kitchen area was great for our large rear to gather to play games and it also had a good sized tv in there to watch . The bedrooms were all a good size. Plenty of bathrooms/toilets for our group of 15. Hot tub was great which we used regularly. The village was lovely, with two brilliant pubs, a village shop and some good walks nearby.

☹Maybe a coffee table in the living room would have been a bonus but apart from that I couldn’t fault the property.

Verified The most amazing place for a chilled hen do! Everyone absolutely loved the place - lots of rooms to go chill in, but also plenty of space and seats for us all to be in one room. There was 15 of us in total and we had more than enough space for us all!

Verified Fabulous, we had the best weekend !
☺ Fabulous size for our annual family weekend together. There were 16 adults and 3 children and there was ample room so that none of us were on top of each other. The house was spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you could ever need, and the hot tub was just a lovely addition.

☹ Nothing it was great! I’m just sorry it appears to be booked for the same weekend next year.

Verified We were a large family group with children and young grandchildren. Everyone had a great time and loved all the space in this characterful house. The kitchen is huge with a big table (which easily seated all 13 of us) and very well-equipped. There is a small conservatory just off the kitchen which has a smaller table ideal for children’s games and craft activities. The gardens are attractive with plenty of outdoor furniture but young children must be closely supervised as there is a low wall above a drop at the bottom of the front garden. There is a large village green nearby, also a children’s playground and a flat, easy, riverside footpath 5 mins walk away. All written instructions in the house were clear and Neil always responded quickly to any messages.

Verified We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Vicarage with 4 generations to celebrate a 90th birthday.The kitchen /dining room was fantastic, very well equipped to cook/seat comfortably the whole family.The close proximity of the station was great for children travelling up from London.The local walks were beautiful and great for the runners and dog walkers in the family. We were blessed with beautiful weather to enjoy the celebrations in the garden and would definitely return for future family occasions.Neil was an excellent host, very responsive and helpful.

Surrounding areas is beautiful and I especially liked the little pub up the street, such friendly staff and tasty food.

recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. A fantastic place for a large gathering of friends or family. Immaculately clean and lovely and warm on our arrival during cold stormy January. The kitchen-diner is the perfect place for everyone to gather, it’s really well equipped and very warm and welcoming. The house is huge and there are lots of places for sub-groups to gather to chat or watch TV. We pre-ordered a meal at the local pub where we were made very welcome. Loads to do in the area if you can drag yourself away from the house!

recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. The Old Vicarage, Ovingham was a perfect setting for our extended family. We stayed for two nights but would have loved to stay longer.
This amazing house enabled three generations to get together communally, whilst also having space and privacy. The kitchen, dining room was a wonderful central hub for all and different sitting rooms gave homely space for different groups. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, perfect for children and adults alike.
We are hoping to arrange a return visit to make more memories with family and enjoy even more of the house, and local area.

Verified Best Family Holiday
☺ Just back from The Old Vicarage. We have had the best weekend. We were a family of 20. And 5 dogs. We had the best time from start to finish. House and grounds both beautiful. Very relaxing and comfortable especially with all the dogs. House was huge. It was at its full capacity with us and there was lots of space. Made great use of hot tub. We done a mix or cooking and ordering in. White Swan pub even done take away for us all on the Sunday. They were lovely. Neil could not have been any more helpful. I messaged on numerous occasions and he got back almost instantly and helped with everything I had to ask. Even kind enough to post something back to us that we left behind. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Just brilliant. Thanks again Neil.

We were a group of 9 individuals using the property for a 3 night team development trip and could have stayed longer. The variety of reception rooms and outdoors space offered ample options for group work, and the perfectly positioned screen beside the dining table was ideal for the more ‘serious’ sessions. Well appointed, well thought out and well equipped, and the hosts were very helpful throughout. We have already booked to return next year.

There was 18 of us in total and there was so much room for us all. Especially in the kitchen area where we practically spent most of our weekend. The grounds around the house were so lovely too! Neil was fantastic and I definitely recommend The Old Vicarage to anyone looking for an amazing stay. We are already looking at booking again in the future for a family getaway.

☺ The house is amazing. Extremely well equipped. The photos don't do it justice. So much space inside and outside. Twenty of us ranging from 5 years to nearly 90. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Everyone had a fantastic weekend. The kitchen is definitely the heart of the home. Neil is a great host. Great weather meant we could use the gardens too. Looking forward to coming back.

Verified An exceptional property - would recommend to anyone!
☺ I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone. We were a large group and the house gave everyone plenty of space. The bedrooms are all spread out nicely and were all good sizes - some of them were huge with lovely views onto the grounds/gardens and view of the river through the trees. The gardens are really well maintained and even at this time of year were lovely and of course completed with the hot tub! The kitchen and dining area are particularly great and were ideal for our large group to be able to eat together. There was everything you could possible need and even 2 dishwashers to cope with our numbers. Everything has been very well thought out and Neil was a great host and answered any questions that I had. Check in was easy and a large parking area as well. Ovingham itself is a lovely village, complete with a pub and very easy access into Newcastle - about 25 minutes by car but there is also a bus stop outside the property.
Would love to stay here again!

☹ Nothing at all to dislike
