Perfect break for a couple. Beautiful location, so peaceful apart from the occasional baaa! We loved being so close to she sheep and the horse stables on site. A 15 minute walk to the local pub dinnington docks that provided incredible food and drinks. Lovely hot tub and log burner which we used every night, overall the perfect place to see in the new year. We will return!...

The Crook is a gorgeous property set in a lovely rural location. It has great facilities and the hot tub is a real treat! Nick and Sally are thoughtful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We loved saying hello to our neighbouring sheep! We will definitely be returning to The Crook and would recommend to anyone. ...

The crook and surrounding area is beautiful. The crook had it all, hot tub, wood fired pizza, great patio area, under floor heating and more……we brought our 4month old daughter and she loved it, especially seeing the friendly sheep and horses nearby. Nick and Sallie were amazing hosts, I could really tell that they cared about our stay at the crook, they were very welcoming and friendly. It was our first holiday the three of us as a family and am so glad that I chose The crook as our first getaway. Thank you so much for a wonderful break and we will be coming again! ...

We chose The Crook as it was a spacious shepherds hut in a peaceful location. The hut felt roomy with space to walk around the bed, full size bathroom and plenty of living space. Everything is luxurious, from the high quality bed linen and towels to the pizza oven, BBQ, hot tub and egg chair. The setting was wonderful with views for miles, we saw lots of stars and hot air balloons and we loved sitting under the oak tree to escape the heat of the day. There are walks on your doorstep and Perry's cider a 30minute walk away, with beaches further afield. Equally you could while the whole day away at the hut with the sheep for company....
