Enjoyed the space in crogen house. And the homely feel the house is set in beautiful grounds. And the host. Responds promptly. To enquiery and does their best to resolve We are a large family age ranged from 6 months. Teens and adults. And we all found tSpace to be together and apart if we needed a break. The house is very much a country home and does suffer with cobwebs. And other insectsThe heating was difficult. To balance but you definitely won't get cold. And Plenty of hot water all the appliances s work well and all are in good condition. The house would benefit from some maintenance inside and. Updating some of the decorOverall crogan house was a lovely. Comfortable place to stay in a great location

We had a wonderful 3 generations family holiday of 8 adults and 6 children to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The location was wonderful and we had some lovely walks. Two of our group really enjoyed fishing in the River Dee only a short walk from the house. Our daughters arranged a surprise private chef as an anniversary present. It was a perfect setting for the event in the dining room. The walled garden was ideal for the young grandchildren to play. There were rather a lot of cobwebs from the thin legged spiders, but luckily we don’t mind those!! 🤣. Sarah was really helpful showing us around when we arrived, helping us with ideas for walks and places to visit, plus getting the aga working when it was a bit temperamental at first. It was a magical family holiday.

A fabulous and comfortable house in a beautiful location, a warm welcome from the owners, and a pub with amazing food (The Bryntirion) down the road. What more could one want?!
