Come to The Croft and you will stay in a large family house set in the picturesque village of Haseley Knob. Here you will immediately be impressed by the friendly family atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. Why stay in a large impersonal hotel when you can get most of the same comforts but with added personal touches? The Croft is ideal for both the overnight business stay or as a holiday centre from which to explore the Midlands.

All the rooms are centrally heated with individual room temperature control and are decorated to a very high standard. Most bedrooms have ensuite shower, washbasin, and toilet facilities. All have colour TV, easy chairs, bedside lights, radio alarm clock, hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities.

The two ensuite ground floor bedrooms, good for those who cannot climb stairs, have French windows which are ideal for pets, and we also have two more ground floor rooms in the bungalow.

Shoe cleaning equipment, ironing facilities and other requisites are available on request. A cot and high chair can be provided.

In the evening you may make use of the Residents' Lounge with Sky TV or hi-fi background music of your choice whilst you read the large supply of tourist information and plan the next day's visits. If you would like help just ask - we try to keep up to date with events in the area.

There is a large number of good pubs/restaurants nearby catering for all tastes and diets so we rarely serve evening meals these days. We can recommend about ten places within a few minutes drive and will be pleased to help you choose.

Breakfast can be served early for keen business guests or up to 9am for 'slow starters'. All breakfasts, served in the Conservatory Dining Room overlooking the gardens, are individually cooked and can be varied from a simple fruit juice and toast to a four course English Breakfast with all the extras.

A pay phone is provided which can be moved to your bedroom for privacy. We can send/receive your fax transmissions, photocopy or email for a small extra charge.

THE FAMILY

At The Croft you will find the whole family involved so you may like to know a little about us.

Pat and David built up The Croft from a derelict cottage and have been taking guests for over ten years. Before this Pat was a nurse and is also a qualified and talented cook. She has many hobbies and is currently learning to play the cello.

David is an engineer by background, and spent some time in the building industry before becoming fully employed at The Croft.

Although originally a small holding we don't keep many farm animals now, but we may have horses or sheep on the field. We still rear chicken (fresh eggs for breakfast!) and you will find cockatiels and finches as well as many wild birds which you can see and feed. Those interested in animals might like to visit Hatton Country World and Craft Centre, only 3 miles away.

"The children", Tim and Penny are both adults now. Tim married and living elsewhere plays piano and violin and is a developing satellite engineer, whilst Penny plays viola and is a writer and events organiser working in the hotel and tourism industry.
