Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Stay! Had the most amazing Christmas Stay at Cranmore Cottage. Beautiful property in the most amazing area. Great touches from the host with Christmas decorations, snacks and groceries and firewood for the fireplaces. The cottage has three big rooms with a great garden. Would highly recommend a visit for anyone wanting to get out of the city and escape to beautiful, rural England. ##### Jean H.
