Wylye Croft is a beautiful house that is situated within a quiet village. The house is well equipped to suit everyone's needs from the kitchen to a well stocked library of books for that bit of quiet time. There are games for the children and the rest of the family, the garden was big enough for our two dogs to have a good run around. There's also a well sized 5 a side pitch. The local pub is a 15 minute walk away, which serves really nice food from its restaurant. I would definitely recommend going to Wylye Croft.

Spent a week with the family and had a great time , Phil was always on hand for any niggles. The house is large and airy. The football pitch was a hit with the children . Only one problem the single bed matrees could do with an upgrade as it was rather lumpy.The kitchen was well equipped and washing machine and tumble dryer were added bonuses Would definitely reccomend this holiday house
