A wonderful, memorable experience thanks to Sleeps12

Good communication from Sleeps12. Phenomenal property (Withymans, Somerset). Great to be able to veer away from the ‘big gun’ holiday rental firms and find a better, top quality and unique property. Would highly recommend Sleeps12 and hope to have the opportunity to book again ourselves.

Highly recommend

We had the most incredible stay at Croftview — truly unforgettable!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The attention to detail was second to none, with so many extra touches that made us feel instantly at home.

The decor throughout the house was stylish and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation.

The pool area was immaculate and such a treat, while the games room kept everyone entertained for hours — kids and adults alike. Honestly, we couldn’t fault a single thing. Croftview is a gem, and we’re already planning our return!

Sleeps 12 were great throughout booking process …. Questions answered quickly, kept in contact via e-mail, paying balance and deposit easy online …. Would book again

Garden Court Experience

Firstly the property we rented through Sleeps 12 more than lived up to the photographs and information that was initially provided. It was spotlessly clean and warm.
The property had all necessary equipment to cater for the needs of a group of 14 and there was more than adequate cutlery, crockery, pans etc.
All necessary information about the property and how to get there were easily accessed.
I was able to contact a member of staff easily, both by phone and email and my queries were dealt with promptly and efficiently.
I would have no hesitation using Sleeps 12 again

Beautiful house with great facilities

Beautiful house with great facilities. The beds were very comfortable and and to have an en-suite for every room was great.
The house was spacious and the pool, play area and BBQ were brilliant. The football table and pool were a great advantage as the weather wasn’t great for us. We couldn’t use the sun beds this time unfortunately but good to have them.
The kitchen was well equipped and we even managed to do come baking as it had everything.
Some lamps and a rug would make the living room more cosy but overall very happy with our stay.

We all loved the house and gardens.

We all loved the house and gardens.
There was so much room.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were really good and well thought out.
The studio was great.
The hot tub was good.
The kitchen was well equipped.
The garden was lovely.
We were not far from the sea, but I don't think it was accessible from the house?
The walks in the woods were lovely at the back of the house.
The staff were very helpful.

I didn't like the pestering from Sleeps12 for add ons. It just seemed like a money money thing! Other booking agents send pleasant emails saying your holiday is getting nearer etc. Not just asking for more money.
I felt it was a cheek asking for money for visitors (we never had any)when we were not at the full quota for the house.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted you loved the house, gardens, and all the facilities — it sounds like you made the most of your stay.

We’re sorry to hear our pre-arrival messages came across as pushy — that’s certainly not our intention. They’re designed to make guests aware of optional extras and ensure everything is ready for their stay, but we appreciate your feedback and will review how we communicate these in the future.

We hope to welcome you back again soon to another Sleeps12 property.

Beware , don't try and cancel.

No so good this time around , don't ever try and ever cancel a booking as they send you all the legal T&Cs which mean you will loose your deposit which is fine but charge you another £1000 to remarket the house .If they cannot sell the cancelled break you must pay in full , or you can change your mind and want to go they charge another £250 admin fee. Pound farm pool was cool/cold so the small children would not go in so take wet suits if you would like your children to swim. The host was friendly and said the pool was 29 degrees we tested it and it was 24 and the indoor pool guidelines say 32/34 is the best customer experience temp. overpriced experience with harsh but friendly customer service.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations, but we’d like to clarify a couple of important points.

Our pool was checked on numerous occasions during your stay and was consistently recorded at 28–29°C, which is exactly within the range we advertise and also the recommended temperature for a pool liner. For safety and maintenance reasons, it isn’t suitable for pools liner to be heated to 32–34°C.

Regarding your comments on our cancellation policy, it appears there has been a misunderstanding. The minimum loss for a cancellation is £100, which is our standard cancellation fee. If the cancelled dates are successfully rebooked, only this £100 is retained. However, if we need to offer a discount in order to secure a replacement booking, any difference is deducted from the deposit to cover that shortfall. This is clearly outlined in our terms and conditions, which are shared transparently with all guests.

We always aim to be fair and transparent, and we’re sorry if any of our policies were misunderstood. We do appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for your future breaks.
