Just returned from a girl’s weekend, 12 in total, staying at Cravens Manor for 3 nights.The house is specious, well decorated & comfortable.Even though it’s an old house with single glazing, the whole house was kept warm & cosy, with the added bonus of a log fire.We had a lovely, relaxing time and couldn’t fault anything.The hosts are very responsive to any questions.Would highly recommended this property, it’s definitely on the list of places to return to!

A stunning house in a beautiful remote rural location. Perfect for us, a group of ‘boys’ in our 60s to walk, talk and drink into the early hours. A table tennis or pool table either in the house or in the cart lodge would be the only suggestion we would make to improve this wonderful house.
