"Delightful cottage with excellent facilities."
Everything you might need is provided. The village is excellent and location of cottage couldn't be better. Very central but very quiet.
Hi Faith Thank you so much for your review of your break. I'm pleased you all had a great time and enjoyed visiting Castleton. I hope to welcome you all again to Croft Cottage. Chris, Property Owner

"We quickly relaxed into this excellent cottage which was very comfortable and warm too when the weather had turned cooler."
The hot tub and pool table were great additions! The position of the cottage was perfect being set away from the busyness of the village but easy walk to all the facilities and excellent walks too. Plentiful parking was also a bonus especially in this village. Only slight disappointment was the grass and wider garden which were overgrown but likely the recent wet weather had prevented recent maintenance. Shame the weather was mixed but didn’t detract from an enjoyable week. Would highly recommend this cottage.
Hi Alan Thank you for your feedback of your break at Croft Cottage. It's great being set away from the village, yet right in the centre to enjoy all that Castleton has to offer. Yes, unfortunately the gardeners were unable to mow the lawn due to poor weather but they regularly maintain the garden when possible. I hope to welcome you all again soon. Chris, Property Owner

"We enjoyed a lovely week at Croft cottage!"
It is a really well equipped and spacious cottage with a fabulous big garden, perfect for our dog and the kids! Also a great location being right in the middle of Castleton so we enjoyed being able to walk to pubs, restaurants and shops and it is a great base for exploring the Peak District! We enjoyed Mam Tor, Peveril Castle, Padley Gorge and local caves. We would definitely recommend and would love to visit again.
Hi Ruth Thank you for your feedback on your break to Croft Cottage. We are very lucky to be right in the centre of the village and able to enjoy all that Castleton has to offer on the doorstep. Look forward to welcoming you again soon. Chris, Property Owner

"Croft Cottage was stunning and in a fantastic location."
The garden was really dog friendly as was the cottage. Chris really looked after us with a lovely message and a beautiful welcome pack. Castleton is a quaint village with 7 pubs (all dog friendly) and they all offer food and a warm welcome. The village is set amongst some stunning views and great walks. I highly recommend Croft Cottage for anyone wanting to visit the Peak District. Thank you Chris for allowing us to use your beautiful cottage.
Hi Sally Thank you for your lovely feedback for Croft Cottage, I'm glad you all had a great time. Castleton really is a beautiful place to visit and very dog friendly. I hope you all, including (Bayley & Baxter) consider staying with us again next time you come to the Peak District. Chris. Property Owner

"What can I say?"
Croft cottage is absolutely beautiful. It’s a quaint and tranquil (but large!) cottage in a stunning part of the country. Chris the owner was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. Some fantastic touches like the firepit package- we enjoyed toasting marshmallows at night. And a welcome basket with Prosecco and nibbles! You couldn’t find a better holiday home with everything you could want if you didn’t want to venture out. Or for venturing out and exploring without having to take the car! It’s central to walks and caves etc. I would definitely recommend, thank you for allowing us to relax and make memories as a family, amazing xxx
Hi Penny Thank you for taking the time to review Croft Cottage. It sounds like you and your family made the most of your break in Castleton. and your dogs (Stitch and Ronnie) enjoyed running around the garden. I hope you will come back and visit again soon. Chris. Property Owner

"Wow, Croft Cottage has to be the best cottage we have ever stayed in."
The location was perfect, literally in the centre of Castleton but you wouldn’t know it. As soon as you shut the gates you are in a little oasis of harmony. The cottage is extremely comfortable, with everything you could possibly want and your dogs will love the huge garden. With all the walking by day, sitting in the hot tub with the castle for a view in the afternoon and then the cosy lounge in the evening. It was just perfect. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return. I can’t thank you enough Chris for giving us Croft Cottage.
Clare, this is an amazing review of Croft Cottage - thank you so much! I'm so pleased you and your family had a fabulous time and enjoyed the beautiful views of Peveril Castle from the garden. I do hope you will all come back to Croft Cottage again soon. Chris, Property Owner

"A really lovely comfortable, spacious, clean cottage which was very well equipped with everything you need."
Loved the extra touches such as the welcome food basket, flowers and treats for the dog. The large dog friendly garden was brilliant. It was in a fantastic location, very quiet but so central to the village. I would definitely recommend.
Hi Tracy, Thank you for your feedback of Croft Cottage. We are very lucky to have such a great location in the village and have everything you need on your doorstep. I hope you and your family (including Bella the Labrador) will visit again soon. Chris Property Owner

"Lovely cottage with everything you need."
4 adults, 2 kids and a small cockapoo we all enjoyed our stay at the fabulous Croft Cottage. The table tennis was a big hit for the kids and the hot tub was just a lovely treat. The welcome gifts including Easter eggs and dog toy & ball were much appreciated. The owner Chris was very helpful and we will definitely stay again. Thank you.
Hi David Thanks for choosing the spend your Easter break at Croft Cottage. Yes, the table tennis is great when the weather is not at it's best and glad you enjoyed the hot tub. I hope to welcome you and your family again soon. Chris Property Owner

"The cottage is situated in a great location next to some nice pubs and within easy reach of some good walks."
The cottage was very well equipped, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing break, the welcome basket was a nice touch. The large enclosed garden was great for the dogs to stretch their legs. We have stayed in many self catering cottages in the past and this is probably the nicest, well done Chris and we would love to return again in the future.
Hi Mark Thank you for your review. Yes we are very lucky to be right in the centre of Castleton and so close to the many walks and pubs. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Croft Cottage soon. Chris, Property Owner

"My family and I really enjoyed staying at Croft Cottage."
It is set in a great location within a lovely garden with a view of Peveril Castle. The hot tub was very welcome after our walks and the table tennis table provided much hilarity. The owner clearly goes to a lot of trouble to make guests feel comfortable and there are many extra touches - fabulous welcome basket, dog treats, quality furnishings and equipment etc. We would love to return, perhaps in the summertime when we can make more use of the garden. Highly recommended.
Hi Carolyn, Thank you for your positive feedback on your break at Croft Cottage. We would love to welcome you and your family back in the Summer when hopefully you can enjoy the garden and views in the sunshine. Chris, Property Owner

"Had a brilliant long weekend at Croft Cottage."
Definitely one of the best cottages we've stayed at, it had everything we needed and was cosy and comfortable. Great location close to the many pubs of Castleton, but also secluded and quiet. The private parking was a big bonus. The dogs loved the enormous garden, and we loved the hot tub and pool table. Would recommend to friends and family. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback on Croft Cottage. I'm so pleased you had a fabulous time and I hope you & your dogs (Indi and Oakley) come back and see us again soon. Chris Property Owner

"We went as a group of five adults annd 2 dogs and this is a fantastic property!"
!! It’s in the centre of Castleton but also in a very quiet area, the property is beautifully appointed incredibly clean and worked really well. it has a really big garden which is dog friendly and lots of outside space to sit and also enjoy the hot tub. Our host made proactive contact with us and even made the property available early to arrive and late to leave. The hamper was lovely, and it is fair to say that this is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We will definitely return.
The best holiday cottage you've ever stayed in... wow, that's amazing feedback - thank you so much. We really try to make it a home from home for all the family (including the dogs)! I hope you will all come back and see us again soon Scott & family, including Yosi & Bradley!! Chris, Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful cottage in centre of Castleton, with huge garden Perfect for our dogs and very secure."
Got so much potential to be amazingly beautiful but owners just taken cottage on 3 months ago, so look forward to returning in spring/summer, Cottage very comfortable- large settee for all the family. New pool /table tennis table which was fun! Very well equipped kitchen with utility attached. Lovely comfortable beds - a must! Extremely lovely owner - easily contactable and ensured all was ok etc. I didn't really want to do this review as don't want anyone else to know about it, but it truly is a lovely place , and although it is (perfectly situated in the centre of the village, it is a little haven and so tranquil. we will be back.....
Hi Karen What a lovely glowing review of Croft Cottage and I've noticed you have rebooked to stay with us, thank you so much. Looking forward to welcoming you and your beautiful dogs (Jasper & Holly) again in the Summer. Chris, Property Owner

"One of the best holiday cottages I have stayed at ."
There was amazing attention to detail ,comfort and cleanliness.The treat of sharing the hot tub was even more special when we arranged for local Wellness Brand to come to the cottage to give us massages and facials at a very reasonable cost. The location was beautiful even in January with interesting walks .There were many places to eat and drink. We will definitely be returning. Next time with the dog as there was a whole area dedicated to the dog’s comfort and a large private enclosed garden . Thank you Chris for your warm welcome
Hi Debbie I'm so glad you enjoyed your lovely pampering break with your friends and to find family history in the village makes it extra special. Yes, definitely bring the dog next time!! Chris, Property Owner

"The cottage and its garden are a quiet oasis in the centre of Castleton."
It was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We came across this cottage at short notice when the one we had booked was damaged by a flood and was cancelled. It was perfect for our party of 5 adults and a toddler.
Thank you for submitting a review of Croft Cottage. It was unfortunate that your original cottage was damaged in the flood but I'm pleased we were able to accommodate you for your break in Castleton. I'm pleased you and your family all had a great time and I hope you will consider booking Croft Cottage again in the future. Chris, Property Owner

"This was the perfect cottage for our group of four adults two children and two dogs."
The large garden (with hot tub) is the ideal setting for two energetic boys and dogs.The cottage is in the heart of Castleton with lots of dog friendly pubs just at the end of the road. Chris the owner had left lots of Halloween touches which were very thoughtful and the boys loved.The adults loved the welcome pack complete with wine and snacks.Everything was thought of down to treats for the dogs.The cottage is large enough but also has a very cosy feel with the log burner in the lounge.Would highly recommend and will certainly return.
