We were a party of 4 adults, 2 small children and dogs. The views were beautiful and the house was very clean. ##### Karen H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna L. 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow factor house We stopped at Croft cottage over the Easter weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. As a party of 6 adults a baby and a small dog the house was plenty big enough for everyone and was fully equipped which made our stay pleasant. The gardens and views over the lake from the hot tub are beautiful and were perfect for an Easter egg hunt. The layout of the house was perfect we particularly enjoyed the large table in the dining room, which was a nice focal point of the house, the kitchen was a real home from home and had absolutely everything you need, the attention to detail here was spot on. My only criticism would be the check in and out times we would have preferred a 2pm check in and midday checkout, that said I would highly recommend this rental. ##### Anna L.
