Bemused?
Just felt I had to respond to the last review! We have just had a delightful stay at Croft’s Barn for the 3rd year running, and under the Covid circumstances Stephanie has carried on in her usual high standard. Yes they did have a family gathering at their house but she did walk round the site and apologize in advance as it should have been her nieces wedding day, but they have had to have a small bbq instead. The voices and music from their gathering stopped far earlier than the noise emanating from our neighbours, which happened on more than one night during our stay. Not wanting to spoil anyone’s holiday, or be confrontational, we tolerated it. Life goes on and we are all living in stressful times.
Again, yes Stephanie had to restrict access to the facilities due to them having to respect Covid regulations and advice from the C & MC, she could have closed them altogether. Again this info was sent by e-mail in advance of our arrival, along with the gate code and arrival instructions, so we went prepared to work round their restrictions.
Yes they do mow the pitches and site on a regular basis, purely to maintain the immaculate appearance of the site for the enjoyment of their guests.
Their own dogs do roam free in their grounds, not once did I see them on the gated site, unlike the visitors dog who, despite the dogs on lead rule, constantly walked their “off the lead dog” around the site.
Whilst we all have a right to express our opinion and experience, Croft’s Barn does not deserve the one star rating given, the rest of the reviews seem to substantiate my comments.
I would commend this site to any potential visitor, it is not a budget CL but visitors can see in abundance where their fees are invested in the site as it has constantly evolved over the years we have been visiting. Stephanie and Wayne have always been excellent hosts, and like all site owners, are treading a thin line, being as Covid aware as they can, whilst still accommodating guests in as friendly a manner as government advice allows. Hats off to all CL owners in difficult times. I for one will return in the future.
