Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"An enjoyable stay at the apartment in the centre of a nice village with plenty of sights to see in the surrounding area."

"The flat was very clean and comfortable."
It had everything you needed there.
Check in was no problem. We received our instructions in plenty of time before check in. We received a personal message from the host with further instructions and her number if we needed to contact her for anything. Plenty of free parking.
Flat is spacious and well equipped. Good size kitchen with everything you need in it. Tea, coffee and sugar supplied. There was a coffee machine with pods (but we don't drink coffee).
Livingroom was very cosy with plenty of seating, blankets and cushions. Small smart tele which was greatly appreciated as we rarely watch normal live tv. So we were able to log into all our regular streaming apps like Netflix etc.
Bed was clean and very comfy, it even had an electric blanket for for the chilly nights.
Bathroom was good, electric shower and nice big fluffy towels that you can actually wrap around yourself.
Great location, there are several pubs and a little shop in the village. Loads of beautiful walks right from the flat. My husband and dog went on some lovely walks during the day while I was working nearby. We sadly didn't sample any of the pubs for dinner. However highly recommend a Chinese take away called "Lotus house" located a 10 min drive away.
Warning to guests with a noise sensitive dog - It can get quite noisy at times, with sounds from the street and flat downstairs. Apologies to everyone that our dog was barking quite a lot. He just isn't used to the noise.

"Lovely little place and with staff discount no grumbling from us."
Honest feedback we would say in need of a basic- cheap to do- makeover- paint job- staining to ceiling is really quite bad. Especially in sitting room. Entrance / Stair carpet is worn and very badly marked. Which gives a poor first impression. However overall a very nice stay in a cracking " small" place village and pubs/ most locals are a dream.
Thank you for your feedback. Sadly we did sustain some storm damage earlier this year and are aware of the stain marks on the ceiling. This is being addressed later this month. We just haven’t had the opportunity to with pre placed bookings. I am really glad you enjoyed the friendly nature and hospitality of the village.

"Lovely property and great location for touring the area."
Lovely view over the village square. Well equipped kitchen, though could do with an icebox in the fridge. Comfortable sofa and bed and good sized bathroom. Parking was not a problem for us, there was always a space nearby on the road.

"Crofts Annexe is a lovely central point to enjoy the village of Abbots Bromley."
The host was super helpful and flexible and I would definitely stay there again.
Note, the description says there is a washing machine on site but there is not, she has tried to get it removed from the listing so please bear that in mind if booking.
Cobwebs cafe is definitely worth a visit, especially if you have a dog.

"A charming old property, renovated with modern Kitchen, Shower room and excellent wi-fi."
Owner was very accommodating when we needed to amend booking dates last minute, due to a sudden radical change in circumstances.
Sykes need to amend their front summary page which says property has a washing machine.
A note in the property saying where the outside bins are located would help visitors. We left a telephone message on this but not sure if received.

"Abbots Bromley is a charming and prize winningly well kept village famous also for the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers whose horns are on display in the local church."
The property is located very centrally in the village overlooking the Butter Cross medieval hexagonal pagoda and the nearby Goats Head and Crown public houses.
Access to the first floor flat is through a shared front door and up a relatively steep flight of steps.
The accommodation comprises a sitting area with TV and wifi a kitchen/diner and a fairly cosy double bedroom with ensuite shower room.
The flat was clean and well provided for, including oven stove microwave dishwasher but not a washing machine and sufficient cooking utensils and tableware for 2. Ventilation in the shower room could have been improved by the ability to open the velux window in the roof but this is too high to do without a stick on a hook but it was adequate to keep down condensation if we opened the bedroom and kitchen windows for blow through. The water was impressively scaldingly hot throughout our stay.
One thing could have improved our stay. A folder or leaflet of information about local businesses services and recreational opportunities. A guest book would also have been nice to find out about what other people found interesting during their stay.
We spent several days visiting the lovely local National Trust properties having purchased membership, and several more days walking various routes in the Peak District although to get to some of these places we had to drive for more than an hour to the start. Abbots Bromley is more accurately adjacent to the Peak District and Dales than in it.

"The village is lovely."
The property says it has off road parking, but there is no parking at the property. The only parking is in a community parking area, at the local pub, if you can get a space. Also it says that there is a washing machine, but there is not. There is limited space for clothes, in the bedroom, and very little space to put things in the bathroom. The stairs to get to the property are very steep. There were no instructions in the property relating to the heating system, broadband or shower , which would have been useful.
Thank you for your comments and I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay in Abbots Bromley- it is a very pretty little village with lots of amenities and opportunities to explore the lovely local countryside. Our property is a character, listed building and is a first floor apartment so is entered via a set of stairs. The position and elevation of the property does afford excellent views of the centre of the village- which are especially great for village events such as the Horn Dance in September. There is parking for the property in the communal parking area in the centre of the village. This is directly outside the entrance. If on the very rare occasion parking is unavailable, there is another car park around the corner and within 2 minutes walk.
Thank you for your comments about storage, this is certainly something I am looking into addressing in the near future.
Many thanks for your custom and we hope to welcome you back soon.

"It was a very nice week the annex was comfy with most things you require."
It was missing a guestbook which is a shame and they only had a couple of leaflets about the village, so more wider ranging information would have been nice. I can highly recommend the Crown pub for evening food. The offroad parking mentioned in the description was infact the pub carpark across the road and if that's full you have to park on a road.
