What age to leave 2 children home alone for about 2/3 hours?

Just that really. The children are sensible and both have mobile phones to contact me. Both great at following rules etc. I'm just worried if it is "acceptable" to leave them at home alone for a couple of hours and what age is considered ok? I don't think there is an legal age as far as I'm aware?

We only really started doing it when DC2 was in Yr6 so DC1 would have been Yr8. Gradually built up to 2-3 hours though
