Crockers Farm

The location was superb. Tea and coffee were provided with fresh milk. The owner was most helpful and even gave us a lift. If you are looking for 5 * luxury, this is not the place for you. We thought it was wonderful and in a beautiful part of the world, with glorious countryside right outside. There is also a great pub opposite, which is very welcoming. If you are not keen on horses avoid staying here, as they are in very close proximity luckily we love them. A most enjoyable stay.

The telly reception was poor.

The host went above and beyond to make me comfortable, even drove me into town.

Great location for walking . Friendly owner . Lovely pub opposite with good food.

Cleanliness and general appearance . The property could do with re decorating .

location is fantastic family are very hospitable and warm

it is a tiny bit dark

Crockers Farm • The photograph promoted a different, and more attractive, building than the one allocated to us. We were misled. • Our accommodation was cold, dark, scruffy and the furniture and equipment looked like it had been salvaged from other people’s throw-outs. The bed, however, was alright and the wood burner gave us warmth in the evenings. • The internal conversion showed poor craftsmanship – poorly finished, loose panels and light switches inconveniently positioned. • The shower room was cramped, no wash basin which meant we had to wash in the kitchen sink, the flush button was missing and the shower head and controls at wrong end of the cubicle. The present position congested the narrow doorway and the duckboards were a trip hazard. • The dining area was dark and gloomy – we didn’t use it. • Putting the micro-wave cooker under the kitchen sink was a potential hazard – water and electricity don’t mix! • Only the centre element in the toaster worked and the handle on the refrigerator was broken. • The ‘outdoor furniture’ was a rusty table and two chairs positioned in a concreted yard. This year I will be 90 and my wife 80 and we were in the area to deal with a difficult family situation. The poor accommodation didn’t help and we both felt that it was not up to the standard we should expect in the twenty-first century. We have used many holiday lets throughout the UK and this was the worst we have experienced. In our opinion it should not be on the market in its present condition. We paid £330 and consider it was worth far less than that amount, a refund would not be refused.

Fascinating to be inside a working livery stables. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Cosy room once we'd got the stove working!
