  We stayed at The Loft during storms Dudley and Eunice (Feb 22) and had to sit out the latter indoors! Luckily, it was a very comfortable space to while away the hours and watch the changing colours of the landscape and the very resilient pigs in the distant field. The accommodation is well-designed and comfortable, though a very tall person might need to pay attention to the sloping roof in places. Everything is clean and well-maintained. It is right next door to the owner's house which might not suit everyone, but we were glad of John's attentions during the storm and the great provisions in the hamper provided. The area is all about rolling hills and farms. We went on some beautiful walks, guided by some helpful maps and suggestions in the house. If you like red kites, hares, river walks and woodlands, this would be the place for you. Even in the February cold, we sat on the chairs at the top of our steps and watched the red kites hovering and dipping. Hot water bottles were provided and came in handy for the outdoor bird-watching!

  Closefield is brilliant.

  Probably the best self-catering stay we've had. The property is freshly decorated and sparkling clean throughout. The rooms (living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) are plenty big enough for two people. We found enough utentials, pots and pans in the kitchen for our needs. Amazing amount of choice on the TV. Didn't need the heating much but it was very easy to take the early morning freshness off with a little bit of heat. All in, a fabulous home. Agnes and Chris were very kind. A sumptuous welcome basket was left and Agnes had thoughtfully provided some gluten free provisions (following an earlier conversation with me). They checked in with us a couple of times and offered some good suggestions for activities, which was helpful. The location is wonderful. We had a couple of lovely evenings, stood looking out of the main window at the birds, foxes, rabbits and other wildlife. Plenty of stuff to do within a half hour drive including NT and EH homes and gardens, walks and St Albans.

  This place is such a find!

  We had planned a one-night stay at La Maison (Raymond Blanc's restaurant) to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and were looking to spend a few more days in the area, but wanted something that didn't feel too much of a come down after that. Closefield did not disappoint! Everything about it is top-end: the ample welcome pack, the luxurious bed, the comfortable sofas and mega TV, all capped with a magnificent view across open fields to the Ivinghoe Beacon. Plenty of things to do in the area too, so a wonderful place for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. And a word too for hosts Chris and Agnes - a lovely couple who made us feel so welcome and yet did not intrude in any way on our privacy. Thank you both so much - we do hope to return one day!

  We stayed at the Loft hoping for a few days of rest and relaxation, and this was delivered beyond our expectations. Although the accommodation is adjacent to the owners house the Loft feels cosy and secluded. The expansive views across the fields is amazing and you can see all sorts of wildlife coming and going. The Loft is exceptionally well appointed with good quality furnishings, a very comfortable bed, good wifi, and the welcome hamper was stocked with some very tasty treats - especially the lemon drizzle cake. The owners are very friendly and work hard to ensure you have everything you need. There are some lovely walks in the area and the local pubs (we tried them all) are cosy and welcoming. Overall a lovely place for a relaxing getaway.
