  The perfect break!

  What a little gem of a property. Myself, my wife and our little dog stayed at The Croft to celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary. The house is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty which made great walks, with a welcome stop at a local pub for lunch. Malvern hills, wye valley and Cotswolds wildlife park and Zoo were just a few of the highlights. The house itself was absolutely outstanding. The level of care when we arrived shone through (from little chocolates by the bed and milk in the fridge to an anniversary card). The owners live next door and are the kindest loveliest people you could ever wish to meet! They do not intrude on your holiday at all. The grounds surrounding the house are quite difficult to put into words - a private forest, pond/lake and wonderful farm animals. Our little dog was really in his element here and we were too! The hot tub was a welcome way to end the day. Highly recommend staying here! It is a great place to unwind. We also purchased some lovely meat from the owners farm which is absolutely delicious. Thank you Sally and Steve!

  Unfortunately our Holiday got off to a bad start.

  On arrival it became apparent that the Gas Boiler that provided all of the heating and hot water was not working which in mid February is not ideal. We contacted the Managing Agent as listed in the information pack and we spoke with a Gentleman called Sean. He was in Gloucester at the time of calling but said he would be with us in about an hour and true to his word he was. On closer inspection he said a specialist Engineer would be required so Sean called an Engineer and arranged for him to be with us the following morning at 8.30 and again true to his word the Engineer was on time and within half an hour we finally had heat and hot water. Sean also returned home on the first evening and came round with an electric Radiator for us to use so we would just like to say a big Thank You to Sean for exemplary Customer Service. Once everything was sorted we really enjoyed our stay at the Old Bothy. The Property is very well equipped and is in an idyllic location . We would definitely return in the future

  I spent five wonderful days and nights at Abbey View Farm cottage last week.

  I just needed time for myself with my greyhound, Blue, which is what I found, be it taking walks around the area, or relaxing in the garden where all you could hear was the water feature and the birds. We took several walks up to the Abbey which is only half a mile away. If you want a relaxing place to stay, or a base for visiting near or far, you will certainly not be disappointed. Marion and John were very accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed, and if not I only had to ask. Marion has provided plenty of information for eating out and places of interest to visit. She also provided lovely boxes of treats for humans and dogs alike, which was much appreciated by both of us. There are lots of lovely touches to make your stay extra comfortable, again for humans and dogs. I left feeling a little sad that I was leaving, but I also left feeling totally relaxed in a most wonderfully peaceful place. A promise to myself? I will return Marion.

  Abbey View Farm Cottage was a wonderful choice, in an attractive area of countryside, with friendly and helpful owners (Marion & John).

  It had everything necessary for us to enjoy our stay in a peaceful setting, as well as a welcome pack of cake & wine (in addition to the more normal milk, bread etc !). The cottage is fully furnished with a comfortable bed and with plenty of hot water, and was beautifully clean when we arrived. The only snag (if, like us, you are elderly / stiff / arthritic), you may find the sofa rather low and difficult to get up from. However, there was also two armchairs so we didn’t use the sofa! There is plenty of room for parking, and the private garden was a delightful place to sit and and have a coffee / drink / snooze (depending on your wishes) We found lots of places to visit nearby (including a local butcher selling the “best pies in Staffordshire” - we devided the claim was valid. We would recommend Abbey Farm View Cottage wholeheartedly - if’s a pity we can only give it 5 Stars and not 5+. Jim

  Abbey view farm cottage was a lovely break away.

  The cottage is well equipped,clean and very cosy. The bed is very compfy so get a good nights sleep and it's in a peaceful location. The owner Marion was lovely, very welcoming and helpfull. There is leaflets in the coattage provided of where to go in the peak district, so that is very helpfull if your new and have never been to the peak district. Its also not far from the main shops and takeaways around 10 mins in the car. The welcome pack provided was a lovely treat it included milk bread biscuits etc and a bottle of wine wich was so lovely. The log fire was nice to light at night and everything that was needed for it was provided. Overall a lovely stay and the cottage has everything you need whilst you are there. I would definitely stay again and recommend Abbey view cottage if your looking for a needed break away in the peak district.
