Or you can cook outside in the BBQ area and enjoy the views sitting in the chairs on the large outside deck or fall asleep on one of the sun loungers.

Family reunion
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.
