Had a lovely week at weylye croft the owner meet us on arrival had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us and very helpful showing us how the hot tub works ect. The only thing I will say is the sofa's needs an upgrade. I found them very low and hard to get up from. Came home with bad back. But all in all very lovely house and surroundings beautiful.

Wyle Croft might be designed for a group of old friends whose lives have drawn them apart to spend a lot quality time togehter. The large sitting room and kitchen are an exquisate space with glorious panoramic veiws. The garden(s) are great for play and dogs. Watch the sunset and the sun rise. The walks are literally on your doorstep. Martinstown is delightful and the walk to the pub where there's decent food, is a delgiht. Pretty church unusually dedicated to St Martin of Tours. There's a vending point a stone's throw from the cottage dispnsing fresh milk, free range eggs and cheese and icecream.

Lovely home. Made welcome by owner. Good base for trips out each day. Our children a lot older but plenty of games etc for evening entertainment. Lovely location and room for a group of children to enjoy themselves. The table tennis was well used by older kids. Kitchen equipment well stocked. Welcome gift. Only criticism, couch and chair could do with replacing. Bit battered and difficulty getting out of for older members of family.
