Confirmed Guest
We spent a lovely Christmas at Delcroft. Mel and Nigel were very welcoming and accommodating, and we greatly appreciated the welcome package. The house was beautifully decorated and there was plenty of room for us all, including dogs. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking a full Christmas dinner for 9. The bedrooms were spacious and we enjoyed the jacuzzi baths. We would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely excellent from start to finish. Great communication from the hosts, a beautiful house with beautiful views. The owners had kindly left us a fabulous welcome package with Prosecco, fresh bread, and honey amongst other things. The house is finished to an excellent standard, is extremely clean, and modern. Spacious throughout with large bedrooms, ample seating areas, a lovely outside area, and plenty of parking. Kitchen was extremely well equipped and bathrooms with jacuzzi baths and wonderful modern showers. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return again.
