The Croft really offers the ultimate in luxury living, from the living room with its comfy sofa and cosy wood burner, and a well equipped kitchen, to the sumptuous bedrooms and modern bathrooms.

Outstanding property in a beautiful location with peace and quiet.
Outstanding property in a beautiful location with peace and quiet. Property was well equipped and maintained. Underfloor heating was cosy and warm. The wood burning stove was of the best quality. Owners supplied logs and kindling along with a welcome pack with essential items. Kitchen was well equipped with many thoughtful features. Appliances are all good quality and well maintained. The location is very good with excellent views. Outdoor seating area with fire pit was a great feature. Owners run a small farm and have a farm shop which offers a fine selection of local produce. Owners were very helpful making our stay comfortable. An excellent property offering every comfort.
