Reviews

Emanuela and Karen made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived, we ordered the home made pizzas which were amazing, we sat and had them looking at the valley, then we lit a fire and waited for the stars to come out. this place is truly an amazing stay, if you want a break from the busy city life to get in touch with nature and breath fresh air, i cannot recommend this place enough, a very unique stay. i plan to come back!.

also they sell homemade products, i bought some ketchup and rhubarb jam both are very tasty indeed.

Apologies for the late review—I stayed here on the 10th of May, and the experience has definitely stayed with me! This place was absolutely lovely. The views of the countryside were stunning and made for such a peaceful escape. One of the highlights of the stay was enjoying delicious homemade pizza (and trying homemade tomato sauce)! and then sitting around the fire pit that evening—such a cozy and memorable night under the stars🥰

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared! Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway and if you’re wanting to spend time in nature! Would definitely love to come back! Thank you to you both🫶

The Byre at Crackpot Cottage is quite simply glorious. The description prepared us for the off-grid experience, but what Emanuela has created here with the fire pit for the Byre, the eco friendly outside bathroom and the cosy fire - set in the most impressive countryside with curlew calls to wake you in the morning and great home-cooked food available to order- 10/10!

Absolutely loved staying here for a night, but I really wish I’d booked more. The hosts were welcoming, knowledgeable and absolutely faultless.

We had dinner at the property and it was homemade which was a lovely touch, alongside homemade tomato sauce with the fries!

We absolutely loved our stay away, thank you both

We absolutely loved our stay in the barn. The location and views are stunning and we thought it was a really lovely touch to have a designated private garden area for us to use during our stay - we had breakfast outside in the sunshine which was delightful :)

Everything was as described and was thoughtfully set up to have everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were grateful for the absence of WiFi so we could really switch off and enjoy each others company :)

Emma and Karen are lovely, friendly hosts, and were really helpful with directions and local recommendations.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay, we are very keen to return when we are next in the area :)

The barn at Crackpot Cottage was the perfect glamping experience. The hosts were very friendly and proactive in helping us to find the location and ensuring that we had everything that we needed. The barn itself is lovely and cozy with a beautiful outdoor space. We had some homemade pizzas which were reasonably priced and delicious.

Beautiful place and a really special evening spent here by the fire pit. Karen and Ema were brilliant hosts, definitely recommend the pizza. Thanks again.
