Guests say
Storrs Croft is a well-regarded cottage praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and peaceful setting, making it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions. Guests appreciate the enclosed garden and the homely feel, especially when the property is decorated for occasions.
The cottage's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, though some guests noted areas for improvement, such as finding items from previous occupants and the need for better upkeep of cooking utensils.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to various destinations and the countryside, despite concerns about the busy road and the property's entrance visibility.
Guests find the cottage warm and comfortable with ample space, though some noted issues with curtains and the need for a refresh in the living room.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-set kitchen and private garden. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as non-working electric fire and TVs, and a lack of sufficient glassware.
While guests have mentioned a basic welcome pack and Christmas decorations, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures, and such gifts should not be expected.

This was our third time at Stores Croft we really love the place and it’s location, unfortunately there are a few issues that have not been rectified since our last visit in November, the electric fire in the front room does not work and the tvs in the bedrooms do not work as they are not connected to an arial and they are not smart tvs so can’t connect through apps, we reported this in November and again on this visit, I believe they have tried to fix the fire but it really needs a new one as this one is unfixable, there is central heating but at night time it does get really cold and the central heating can’t keep it warm enough. The cleanliness is ok but not to a good standard, some of the cooking utensils need replacing. All in all the place is very tired and in need of repair and updating especially at the price point it costs to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. The setting was peaceful and charming, and the cottage itself felt welcoming from the moment we arrived. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and would happily return in the future.Regards Steve

Absolutely beautiful property, surrounded by the most gorgeous countryside. We were celebrating a big birthday for one of our party and were pleasantly surprised by the Christmas decoration which were around the house. We will definitely be back.
