The Setting
The Croft is set in the charming, historic village of Croft-on-Tees and is named after the loveable village itself, which lies on the banks of the river forming the border between the counties of North Yorkshire and County Durham.
The Croft provides an excellent base from which to explore the region and its many tourist attractions including The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, Bowes Museum, Rockcliffe Hall, Shildon Railway Museum, High Force and The North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is ample free parking at the front and rear of the building.
The Vibe
Secret Garden Chapel
Hidden within this historic Grade-II listed building is an enchanting Garden Chapel like no other. With huge antique doors, floor to ceiling mirrors, and an ancient cascading willow tree this venue delivers a truly magical and fairy-tale experience. A breathtakingly beautiful stone aisle lined with oodles of luscious romantic florals is the path you’ll take to the raised altar where you can finally declare: “I do”.
The choice is yours when it comes to set-up; choose tastefully traditional or go daringly different with their runway aisle set-up where your nearest and dearest will all have front row seats to the ‘wedding of the year’.
Garden Suite
From banqueting to a good old knees up, cake-cutting and bouquet throwing to magical mist dancing and cocktail shaking; the Garden Suite at The Croft is where it all happens.
This uniquely designed botanical hideaway ensures an ultimate indoor/outdoor feel with a wall of sliding glass opening out onto a secret garden terrace. There you’ll find a cosy yet lovable, hidden wonderland complete with fire pits, a show-stopping water feature and a fully retractable roof so this space can be enjoyed all year round.
Sophisticated garden chairs and round rustic tables sit proudly under a luscious canopy of hanging wisteria and are at the heart of this botanic oasis, allowing you to sit back and relax knowing you can celebrate in style.
Accommodation
Each of their 24 comfortable bedrooms have been furnished tastefully and retain many period features. Couple this with modern stylish bathrooms, free WiFi, a relaxed bar and restaurant and log fires, and you will find everything you need for a relaxing celebration.
