"We had a great week at Croft House and were very lucky with the weather. Loved the living room and dining area and the kitchen was very well stocked. It was everything I wanted my 50th birthday celebration to be ... sharing time with friends, walking in the hills, eating, drinking and enjoying the dogs being around too (they also had a great time, loved the garden and the stream ... I think they were in doggy heaven!)" Jill

"Thank you very much for a fantastic stay in the Lakes, Croft House was beautiful and capacious. The kitchen was very well stocked as was the rest of the cottage. The countryside is simply stunning and we had tremendous weather. In short everyone in my party was reluctant to leave and we are already trying to plan a trip for the summer, we will of course hope to book this with yourselves." Paul
