Elm Cottage Visit
The property was as advertised and the people who handled the listing were amazing. The cottage was located near the train station so getting to and from the city was very easy. The cottage was very comfortable and met our needs. If we are ever back in the area we will stay here again.

short break
had a great few days in a fantastic accommodation, though a little remote on rainy days for places to go...maybe we were out of season. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it thoroughly. One minor point, the accommodation would benefit from a security light, when returning from a night out. Only a small walk from the car, but so much easier had it been lit.

We had such a lovely 4 night stay here, very peaceful and quiet. Very spacious for 2 people and 2 dogs and had everything we could possibly need. Fire was pre prepared for getting there and the host was very contactable. Even has 2 pet pigs around the corner you can feed :) would definitely stay here again!

Could not have been better, period. Several most enjoyable days in every way, living history that celebrates the past with no excuses needed or called for. Most helpful management, excellent accommodations and appointments, honest charm and gorgeous surroundings.

Lovely 4 night stay
Comfy cottage although very compact - only one in the kitchen at a time!! Lounge with comfy sofa and log burner. Beds fine, TV good and beautiful surroundings. Feb/March not a good time to visit as we were very cold, the log burner turned out a good warmth but hadn't been on for a while before our stay. the free logs were a real bonus. I should think in spring and summer it is idyllic stay. Whist there we visited The Restoration Yard which is very interesting and has a great restaurant. Kids would love it as it has a magnificent play park with castles and tunnels etc. Also has a 'GoApe' - I was quite jealous!
