The Croft Summary:<br>Es

Summary:
Escape to the ultimate family retreat in this spacious 5-bedroom home, set amidst the serene beauty of Staffordshire’s countryside. Located in the picturesque village of Abbots Bromley, this charming property offers a perfect blend of traditional character and modern comfort, making it an ideal getaway for families seeking relaxation and adventure.

The Space:
Within this inviting haven, you'll discover not one, but three distinct living areas, including a dedicated cinema room equipped with Sky Glass for your entertainment pleasure.

Enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings from within the orangery living area which opens up onto a spacious deck overlooking the gardens.

Spend time together in the warm and inviting open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. A space where everyone can come together and build cherished memories.

The spacious country kitchen, complete with a traditional Aga stove, is your culinary playground, and there are two elegant dining spaces to relish your delectable creations. For those who prefer al fresco dining, there's a dedicated BBQ area, complemented by a spacious outdoor deck and comfortable sun loungers.

The Croft is perfect for family and friends of all ages, with the master bedroom being conveniently located on the ground floor along with both bathrooms.

With ample private parking, simple self check-in and professional cleans (including fresh linens and towels), The Croft is the perfect getaway for groups looking to enjoy the beautiful countryside surroundings.

Guest Access:
You will have private access to the whole house during your stay. The driveway is shared, however there is plenty of space for multiple cars. The garden is shared with the owners. You have your own lawn space in front of the decked area, however the paddock at the back (behind the fenced off brook) is private and unfortunately not for guests.

The Neighborhood:
The Croft is just a leisurely stroll away from four pubs, an Indian restaurant, two inviting cafes, and the High Ash Country Farm Shops. For thrill-seekers, the renowned Alton Towers amusement park is a mere 16 miles away, while the historic city of Lichfield lies just 10 miles from your doorstep.

This enchanting village is enveloped by rolling hills and verdant woodlands, providing an idyllic backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. Be it walking, cycling, or horseback riding, Abbots Bromley offers a diverse range of options to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. The village boasts a rich history, highlighted by several Grade II listed buildings, including the 13th-century St. Nicholas Church and the 17th-century Almshouses.

Abbots Bromley is also renowned for its annual Horn Dance, a centuries-old tradition that has graced the village for over nine centuries. Held every September, this extraordinary event attracts visitors from far and wide, adding to the village's mystique.

The hosts coukd not have been nicer and the accomodation was great. The rooms were beautifully appointed and spacious. Lovely village and wifi great for the 3 boys. The only reason for not giving a 5 star review is that really it needs an extra bathroom and the garden is shared with the owners.

Had a great stay at The Croft, lovely, spacious property with plenty of space for all ages. John and Sarah were very welcoming and on hand to share knowledge of the local area. Kitchen well equipped (even has a wine fridge 😁). Would definitely recommend it

Our family celebrated a week together before our son’s wedding locally. The Croft was perfect! Clean, comfortable & very spacious. Well equipped kitchen, I especially loved the Aga! Loads of space inside & outside in the beautiful gardens. Nothing was too much for our hosts. Fabulous stay in every way!

A gem of a find

This house is fantastic and so much bigger than we first thought. 2 families of 4 stayed in it for 4 nights. The five bedrooms were spaced out on the 2 furthest sides of the property meaning that both families had their own space and bathroom. The various reception rooms kept the 4 children entertained as they could spread out. The large kitchen, dinner and cosy area was a fantastic place to relax once the children had gone to bed. The huge garden meant they could run around safely and would be amazing in the sunmer. The owners are lovely and very helpful. The house had everything we needed and more. We will definitely return next time we want to visit Alton Towers.
