The Croft was lovely, everyone had lots to do, it was comfortable, well appointed, in a lovely setting with fantastic views. Everything you may need was there, the owner was friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The indoor pool and garden were favourites, and all enjoyed a couple of BBQâs on the terrace. We could not have had a better celebration, and the weather was great too!

The swimming pool was brilliant. Given this was the last week of school holidays, nothing looked shabby!!

The communication and ease on the day of arrival was brilliant. A massive house to a high standard throughout - but comfy with it so you can feel like you can relax. There was 24 of us and we all had ample space. The icing on the cake by far is the pool, sauna an yoga building. Followed very quickly by the stunning gardens. Tracey was really helpful on the day getting us sorted and everything you need to know is in a really useful manual. Two large fridge freezers meant we could stock for the duration and everything you could ever imagine you needed is in the kitchen. We had so much fun and was a great place to be together. We will be going back.
