Elm Cottage

Clean, and everything you need in a holiday home

No shower upstairs over the bath

Location was great we stayed across the road last year and it was okay but noisy because this place is set back from. The road you don't get so much of the noise so it was very peaceful. Downstairs was very spacious and Clean with lots of doors everywhere it was easy to have different talk shows going on in each area without impacting each other. Loved the Google Nest option very easy to use just turn the circle when it's a bit chilly. Loved the facility of the washing machine and dryer as we just came home with a bag of clean washing to put away. There is also a dishwasher but there were no tablets for it so we didn't use it. I have asked everyone and they all said they much preferred the elm cottage compared to where we stayed last year just for spaciousness.

Well on arrival the first issue we had was there were no keys in the keysafe. Thankfully the owners had sent me a phone number for emergencies and about an hour or so later we finally got in the house thanks to his local handyman who has a set of keys. He did say for future reference we are going to leave a set of keys at the neighbours house just incase 🤣🤦‍♀️. (Still waiting for the compensation Andy!) It wasn't really clear where or what utensils were in the house I spent a couple of days with just one sharp knife one of the other billion drawers had the other 3 knives! (Maybe a list of what is in the kitchen could be included in the folder for reference). I stated in the like section we didn't use the dishwasher at all because there were no tablets for it as we don't have one at home It seemed a little pointless buying a massive pack of tablets just for a week's worth of washing up. For some reason there was also a distinct lack of towels in the house there was a hand towel in the upstairs bathroom and two big towels in the king-sized room and that was it for four people. Thankfully I had already brought a towel that I could take swimming if I wanted to so I was okay. (Maybe have a store in the cupboard somewhere to replenish) The shower is downstairs, right on top of the toilet but the shower door is actually broken I went to push it back to see if I could get in and the bottom half hinge has rusted away. There are no locks that work on any of the doors so we had to announce when going to the toilet, shower, bath etc to save any blushes. The Apps on the TV didn't work at all I ended up just casting to the TV instead even just BBC iplayer just didn't want to load. On this site it says that there is BBQ equipment when I inquired the owner told me there is none not a big deal just because the weather was nice I thought it would be nice.

What a find!! Lovely property, right in the heart of a fantastic village. I have never stayed in a cleaner, better equipped holiday home. The cottage was immaculate. Owners were helpful and organised re our check in. Back garden is a sun trap with a nice table and chairs for you to eat outside.

Nothing!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful village, really clean and very comfortable to stay in, comfy beds and very fresh smelling linen and towels, loads of board games for the kids to play and the kitchen has everything you need, it’s a really spacious place and cozy with the log fire
