What our customers say about their holidays

  The property was clean, well equipped and comfortable.

  The hot tub was a lovely extra and the reason we booked the property. There were fresh flowers in lots of the rooms downstairs and a sachet of cappuccino and a biscuit x4. Bedding and towels were fresh and clean. The owner popped in to say hello the morning after our arrival and lives just across the field at the back. Silver Crooks could be so much better. The upstairs shower was little more than a dribble and the downstairs only a little better. The bed in the master bedroom despite being comfortable, was really creaky. We had quite disturbed sleep and left a day early. When it rained the water leaked through the conservatory roof and we were often mopping and trying to catch it in the mop bucket. The kickboard under the dishwasher came off on our toes every time the dishwasher door was opened. Cars move very fast on the road outside so we had to use the car to get into the village as there was no footpath and the route across the fields was too muddy to use. The property itself is full of old vintage charm. It would have been nice if the welcome features included a small basket of local produce, some milk or tea. A first basket of logs or a fire being set up in the grate in case it was needed would have been a nice touch. The cupboards were totally bare, not even a pinch of salt and pepper could be found so you will need to bring EVERYTHING with you.

  Overall we had a really superb time.

  The Croft is a cosy and comfortable little cottage ideal for a family break with a dog and in a great location. The cottage is well equipped. A couple of improvements could be to shift check in time from 2:30pm to 4pm to allow the check out time to be shifted from 10am to 11:30am. This would make for a much more leisurely final day. Also the quality of the cutlery and sharp knives was poor. They were rusty and so could do with being replaced. In the rooms upstairs the blackout blinds do not cover the window so we had to block this ourselves with tin foil and the twin bed mattresses were very tired. That said the double bed mattresses were very comfortable. Again we had a lovely stay but just a few tweaks could make it fabulous.

  We had a great time, the owners were so lovely and friendly and very helpful.

  You don't need to go without anything as the cottage had every thing you need and the lovely mince pies and cream waiting were lush, thank you, it was so lovely going away for Xmas and not having to put the tree up yourself as that was a lovely surprise waiting, the cottage was lovely and clean and the beds were so comfy. And when leting out Alaska our Alaskian Malamute we never had to worry with her wondering off as the garden was closed in, and the view from the cottage looking onto the fields and the chickens was a lovely sight. We will be arranging another holiday here in the near future, Thank you for a wonderful time and for all the help,you gave us. Happy new year x

  The house was beautifully furnished and appointed.

  Everthing perfectly clean. A real home from home. Kath was the friendliest, most welcoming of people, nothing was too much trouble for her. Coffee and biscuits were available on arrival and beautifully scented, fresh flowers graced the dining room table. Just outside the back door, there's a massive double garage to accommodate your own cars although it limits views. Well kept, open garden to front of house overlooking a lane. 360 degree countryside views from upstairs are wonderful. A great base to get around North Devon and North Cornwall or just to relax in. Thank you.

  What a beautiful house, just what we needed in all ways, the dog had a field to run in, we all had a hot tub with a gorgeous view to laze about it.

  Plenty of room to sit and relax in the house and conservatory. Ample room for our cars. Silent location, yet near enough to walk into Holsworthy, avoiding the main (not busy) road. Would have been nice to have a pack of playing cards, or a few games that we could have used, although if we’d have asked, I’m sure Kath the owner would have been more than happy to help us out. Communication with Kath was also amazing, any questions were answered quickly while we were at the property, as well as before we arrived. I would definitely consider staying again. Thank you.
