The directions were spot on and attention to detail in describing the facilities made you feel like you were there in person. On arrival Steve made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Communication with Gillian was also extremely pleasant and very helpful. Crooke barn is a beautiful place, gorgeous surroundings, decorated to a superb standard with everything you need for a relaxing and stress free escape from reality. The garden and hot tub was where we spent most of our time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend booking a get away to this beautiful location. Top marks all round !

Be careful on the lanes to the approach, as roads are narrow and in a poor state of repair. Overall a lovely relaxing time, the hot tub wonderful.
