Avis 4 Bed Rural Farmhouse - Dog & Family Friendly - Modern Amenities & Large Garden

Living away from the area, we wanted a property that would allow us to bring our whole family together over Christmas, including 12 on Christmas day. Croxton House was the perfect location. Spacious but not overwhelming, a dining room big enough for what we needed, a location. That was rural but not too far from local amenities. Becky was a fabulous host, with subtle Christmas decorations and thoughtful additions, making sure we had enough of everything we needed to cater for Christmas. Our host also left us some Christmas treats which was a lovely gesture. We had six adults and two dogs staying in spacious rooms and which never felt cramped. The gardens and local area are also very pleasant. A couple of notes for people staying. It's worth bearing in mind that this is a large old house so can get cold when the heating is off. And if you do like to walk dogs or go for a stroll there are not a lot of pavements in the immediate locality so take care. While local amenities are close they are a drive away. Decorations are In the style of the property, although the bathrooms are a little small and not quite in keeping with the rest of the house, but they were always clean and perfectly functional. The house is well maintained and while the decor is not modern It was extremely well kept and very clean. We did have some concerns about the host and family living in an annexe of the house. But these concerns where unfounded, they live in a property adjoined to the back of the house you see in the pictures and a no time did we feel that we were sharing a property. Importantly it felt like home, which is a credit to Becky, who is an excellent host and provides a wonderful property which was perfect for what we wanted.

Croxton House is the perfect location for two families sharing a house. All rooms generous in size. Becky the owner was so helpful and friendly. A few more garden games could be useful. Or bring your own... You need to drive to various locations, but lots to see and do if you don't mind. Recommend Normandby Hall, Lincoln, Lincoln Castle, and Cleethorpes. There is a motorway nearby but you can't hear it inside the house, but you can in the garden. However, other than that noise, it really is very rural and quiet.

Our two families had a lovely stay, loads of space for us all and all the facilities you’d need in the kitchen area. Nice to be able to spend a day relaxing in the garden. Check out is very early but Becky was able to be flexible with us which we really appreciated.

Great property for 2 families to stay at together. Plenty of space to relax inside and play outside. Well equipped kitchen and lovely large dining table. Great communication with host Becky. Thank you

It was lovely, but the dogs next door barked quite a bit

Lovely house. Loved the feeling of space after the London streets and my toddler loved running around the lawn. We had a lovely lunch in the beer garden at the Marrowbone & Cleaver in the next village which was easily walkable. Perfect spot for a catch-up with old uni friends. Board games much appreciated, kitchen very well equipped. Becky was great at communicating and just the right amount of available but invisible when we were there. Would definitely go back!
