The Croft is by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the age of the property, the sloping ceilings, wonky floors and a fireplace to die for. The Croft has a lovely calming and welcoming feel and we instantly felt at home under its thatched roof. As it was a warm week when we stayed, the dogs particularly liked the cool brick tiled flooring in the dining room and the shade provided by the shrubs in the garden. The Croft is very well equipped in a lovely part of the village. Ideally place for our four legged friends who enjoyed exploring the many footpaths in the area. We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful cottage. ##### Jane This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy Jun 26, 2019 #### This was our second stay at this lovely cottage.
