Lovely, immaculately presented, cottage perfect for one or two guests. Perfectly clean and with excellent information about cottage and area. Such thoughtful touches by the owner - ecologically aware toiletries, M&S bread and biscuits, milk, conserves etc., all the essentials needed to relax after a long drive. The little garden was delightful with birds darting down and flowers in bloom - I wish I'd had more time to enjoy it. Certainly somewhere I'd like to stay again if in the area.

Fabulous cottage

We had a lovely short break and Elm Cottage was perfect. The cottage was very inviting and well equipped. Lots of lovely touches such as the hamper and freshly cut flowers. The beautiful little garden was ideal to sit in the evening to enjoy a glass of wine. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous Cottage

Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage. We loved it there. The location I found was great, close to where we wanted to be. It was easy to find. Loved the garden with apples growing and blackberries, lots of beautiful flowers. It was so nice to relax. The cottage inside was well equipped with everything one would need. I wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe when we come back to England.

Short stay for a wedding

Very clean property. All as described on the website. The welcome pack was useful and there was plenty of heating and hot water. The only negative was the bed. It was comfortable enough but as it is a metal frame it was noisy when you turned over.

Perfect

Carol and Jasper made my dog and I very welcome indeed. The cottage is so pretty, a lot of love has gone in to it, which made it feel like a place where you can simply relax and call a home. Carol has thought of everything, so never fear if you think you’ve forgotten to bring something, she’ll have it covered. It is by far the best self catering accommodation that I have ever stayed at, I’m hoping to return again soon.

Lovely location but…

Property was clean/spotless on arrival. Lovely welcome basket of goodies and a small bottle of Prosecco to welcome in the new year. Had booked a 3 night stay but sadly my husband and I found the bed incredibly uncomfortable. After such a poor night sleep we decided to go home and sacrifice the final 2 nights. Hosts were most hospitable and understanding although we were not offered a refund. All other aspects were lovely 😊

Hi Georgina Thank you for your review, we do appreciate your feedback following your stay at Elm cottage. We always want to make sure that our guests have a restful and enjoyable stay. I was sorry to hear about your husband’s back condition and the impact this may have had on his sleep. We recommend anyone with specific health conditions or requirements to inform us prior to their arrival so that we can hopefully address their needs. Best regards Carol
