  So I'm going to start with the negatives: Small bedroom has a bunk bed and not the single bed as described, which as we had all adult party was not suitable and we would not have booked this property.

  Instead they slept on the sofa. Both bedrooms are double beds, not one king as advertised and one is a small double. Most of the internal doors need maintenance, as they don't shut unless forced, the one separating the snug and lounge can't be closed as the latch and stop aren't aligned, which meant you couldn't watch TV in the separate rooms due to dogs constantly pushing door open. Toilet cistern in the downstairs toilet takes so long to fill that it was left unflushed most of the time. There are no knives for food preparation only a blunt paring knife and 2 bread knives. So vegetable preparation was tricky. Fridge door need connecting to cupboard door. Had to purchase logs as there was only a small amount provided in the basket and wood store was empty. We did put the brown recycling bin out by 7am as on instructions but bin was not collected although, others on road were. This meant we had to leave a large amount of recycling in kitchen, would be useful to have larger bins as they are only normal size so having the larger ones might help but if they are not collected then unfortunately owner is never going to catch up with waste. We understand this is not the owners fault. Air source heat pump, which, along with everything else, had no instructions on how to use it. Not gas central heating as advertised. Owner was very good with responding on how to use it as house was cold initially. House really needs an instruction booklet. Now on to the positives: House was clean and garden was lovely, beds were comfortable and bedding was really nice quality, house is beautifully thought out and very homely. The hot tub was amazing, although I only got out there once due to having to go and purchase a swimming costume

  The Croft Farm is simply perfect for groups and families who want to have a break away together.

  The location itself is perfect, it is a matter of minutes from the A1 so it is super convenient for travel, but once you arrive you couldn't feel more miles away from everything. We went as 4 families all with young children (and a baby) and the cottages just seemed perfect for our needs, the fact that we could have 3 living spaces was ideal when people needed space, and we could have 1 set watching a film in the Granary, another in the Farmhouse playing boardgames. While the baby was nursed in peace in the Barn. The outside space also worked amazingly, it is so communal and can be accessed from all cottages. We had lovely weather so the hot tub got a lot of use and we managed to BBQ for everyone too, we spent a lot of time just chilling in the garden knowing all the kids could play safely and dog was safely enclosed. The owners could have been more helpful in the run up to our trip and answered every query quickly. The cottages themselves were beautiful, well equipped and just perfect for groups with The Granary being the perfect eating space for all of us. Also there was much excitement because it took a little while to find the "secret" bedroom, so if you go, enjoy finding it, its genuinely special. We are already looking at dates so we can book for even longer next year :)

  Lovely long weekend for my cousins 70 th birthday with 2 families including 3 babies .

  It was nice to be spread across the 3 properties and to still have our own kitchen but yet to be in and out of each others houses and sharing the lovely garden and hot tub !! Garden secured for Dogs and children . Unfortunately the heating in the main house was very unreliable and the house was very cold a lot of the time - the thermostat for the heating was situated in the wrong place and consequently the rest of the house didnt heat up - we called the owner who was close by and he had to come a couple of times - we had to light the log burner on the last morning - this was disappointing - the Hot water was also too hot in the main house and could be a potential hazard when bathing young or old !! The drinking / wine Glasses were disappointing and a varied hotch potch of sizes , styles and quality some being plastic - which when you are paying a lot for 2 nights one would hope for much better standard . Otherwise we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend, the surrounding country side is lovely and we did lots of nice walks and had a fabulous Bithday Tea at The Haycock Manor Hotel -which is most definitely worth a visit .

  Hot tub jets not working and dirty.

  No information on the house we had to go hunting for things. We heard an incident with the bin men re recycling,all the bins were full when we got there. The bin men when emptying swore and emptied the green bin into the black bin. I don’t think people realised which bin was for what rubbish. They said ……… number 19 again. Small bedroom shows single bed which we thought would be ideal for our daughter when we got there it was a bunk bed not ideal for adults. Found broken wine glass put to the back of cupboard. Dangerous slabs on top patio. Broken light in shed. Broken downstairs sink plug and toilet seat needing tightening up as it was loose. Overall lack of maintenance. When we phoned Rachel about the hot tub not working and dirty she was very good and came out the same day. Front bedroom lack of wardrobe space and bed a small double lucky we are small adults. Fridge door not properly secured with facing door we had to correct this ourselves.

  What a beautiful place!

  We visited Croft Farm with a group of 15 adults for my husband's 50th birthday and what a perfect location for our celebrations. Croft Farm was immaculately clean, very well equipped and extremely comfortable (especially the beds)! There was plenty of space in the Granary for the whole group to socialise, as well as lots of space/seating outside for when the sun was shining. If anyone wanted their own space there were several other lounge/dining areas to do so. Papermills pub in Wansford was a 25 minute walk away (perfect to freshen you up after a few drinks the night before) and the giant map on the Granary wall came in handy to identify a scenic route. Thank you Peter for your prompt replies to my several questions and for the early check in. I would highly recommend Croft Farm to anyone getting together in a large group. We all had a brilliant time and now just need an excuse to book the place again!
