We booked the Crook during May half term for a relaxing break. We live in a city so we wanted peace and quiet. And we got exactly that. We were surrounded by fields, trees, sheep and birds. The hut is perfectly suited for 2 people and there is everything provided to make the stay comfortable. There is different seating area depending on your mood: the egg chair, the table and chairs with a chimnea, the loungers, the seating inside with a wood burner. The hot tub was a very pleasing and relaxing experience. The owner was.very helpful in setting it up for us. Bathrobes are provided and they were well appreciated. The owners are very thoughtful, providing fresh milk, biscuits, cider bottles, tea bags and coffee. They can also arrange pizza dough and a bbq pack. You can either stay in the hut and make the most of the facilities provided, or you can visit the area. We walked to Perry's cider and the Donnington pub....

Just returned from an amazing bank holiday stay at The Crook. The hut is like a tardis - much bigger on the inside than it looks! There is everything you should need/want for a perfect relaxing stay - including some very friendly sheep as your neighbours! The hot tub was very kindly heated for when we arrived and plenty of wood to reheat if you wanted to use it again. There is charcoal ready for if you want to have a nice bbq and the pizza oven is fantastic. There’s even a nice little area a short walk from the hut which is perfect to watch the sunrise. There is also whole guide that has been brilliantly put together with lots information on what can be done/seen nearby! Nick and Sallie were great hosts and we will definitely be returning in the not too distant future!...

If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings this is the place. Sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine listening to the sheep takes some beating!
