“This is a wonderful cottage in a quiet location right opposite the village church.”

Plenty of off street parking and the local pub is just round the corner. The garden is large with lots of seating and very well maintained. We were lucky that the sun shone for all 3 days so we could use the garden more than we would expect in the English spring! Inside is well equipped and clean with lots of space and lots of reminders of its history. Mobile reception is poor and internet speed slow, but then if that is your reason for staying here its not really a holiday is it? But thought ...

“The host and house were very welcoming.”

It was ideal for our family and we had a enjoyable stay. The stay was a little spoiled as the dishwasher could not be operated for the whole weekend. There were two wheels missing off one side of the lower tray, which when loaded dropped onto the revolving sprayer. Sandra did call around that same day but her keys did not open any of the doors and she left us a note. The WiFi connection was poor and would be improved if the router was relocated more centrally; say in in the dining room. There is a file full of the instruction booklets for every piece of kit in the house but the file lacks a typed A4 sheet giving a few guidelines. The shower in the shared bathroom needs the switches in the cupboard to be on. When you go for a shower there the initial impression is that there is no hot water. Wearing only a towel is not the time to go exploring. Perhaps a plasticated note in the bathrooms could solve this. In other places we have stayed there is usually a notice asking for the beds to be stripped at the end of the stay. The fans in the bathrooms do not work when the light is switched on.. If there are switches for them they are not visible. It is not possible to lock the shared bathroom door which is not very convenient. Notwithstanding this we had a great weekend. There were a lot of condiments which we did not expect and the Prosecco, fudge and cakes were both delicious and well received. Oh the guidelines could also add that the College Arms accepts dogs. Thank Sandra for us. I am sure she did her best. The guideline sheet and a few plasticated notes are easy to arrange. We hope she found that we had left the place clean and tidy.

“A wonderful long weekend celebrating a family birthday - great social space to all be together in, a well equipped kitchen, massive garden, and generally a great base to explore a beautiful area.”

Mr Sone

Mr Denyer

Would thoroughly recommend.
Hand

“We had beautiful flowers, 2 bottles of prosecco and an amazing cake left for us by the owner.”

Well needed after 150 km cycle training weekend. The property was spotlessly clean. Mrs Hand, May 2017.

“I just wanted to pass on how happy we were with Elmhurst Cottage-Lower Quinton where we stayed for xmas,arriving on the 22nd Dec.”

Sandra the owner had decorated the house beautifully for xmas.
Mrs R

“The service we received from Manor Cottages was excellent and faultless.”

Overall we were very impressed and would definitely recommend Manor Cottages as a company and Elmhurst Cottage as a venue. The cottage owner, Sandra Davenport, was very friendly and helpful when I collected the keys from her and the information provided about the local area was brilliant. There were lovely little touches in the cottage, such as fresh flowers in the dining room, a bowl of chocolates, plenty of towels and the high-tech audio/visual equipment was a pleasant surprise.
Ms Desoysa

“We had a very warm welcome at the cottage with a few extras -muffins and proseco and chocolates -left for us which was very welcoming.”

Everything was available in the cottage and we did not need anything. The garden and all the bedrooms and living areas were beautifully decorated and well looked after. We all had a wonderful time enhanced by our beautiful surroundings.
Mr and Mrs C

“Very comfortable, well equipped and accomodation suited our requirements.”
Heslop Family

“Excellent cottage with ample room for our party.”

Three bathrooms was an essential requirement. I would have liked warning of the low beams. As a tall man I cracked my head on the beams on several occasions. The dishwasher,freezer and fridge were all showing their age.
Mr Wolfe

“Superb facilities, charming cottage, everything you needed to make a wonderful stay brilliant.”
Mr Strange

“Spacious, well equiped.”

Nice garden, good furniture inside and out.
Ms Hunter

“Loved the cakes and prosecco when we arrived, we struggled with the fridges though, they froze our food!”

! F it slept 8, looked pretty..
Mr Rowland

“This was a special family occasion and the attention to detail in respect of provision for family living (e.”

G. music systems, candles, outdoor seating) was second to none.
Mrs Balme

“The cottage was excellent and provided us with a home away from home, we had great weather so spent time just relaxing in the beautiful garden.”
Mrs C

“Very good. The cottage was lovely and extremely well equipped - they supplied a few dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid etc, it was very much appreciated!”

They even left us a bottle of bubbly and some chocolates. We really liked the excellent Sky package, log burning stove, where the cottage was (opposite a pretty church and very near the excellent village pub).
Mrs Newman

“Loved the cottage and thought the layout was ideal.”

Very cosy feel and good size for 8 of us.
Mr Clyde

“I can't think of anything wrong, perfect accommodation.”
Mrs. C.

“Very comfortable cottage, lovely cosy log burner, gorgeous garden.”
Mrs. G.

“The cottage is roomy and well designed for a big family Sandra made us very welcome.”

She added lots of extra touches - Prosecco, cupcakes, chocolate eggs and wonderful flowers. We loved all the white fluffy towels and the hotel toiletries.
Mr Lucas

“The cottage was very clean, very well equipped and has a wonderful atmosphere.”

The accommodation was ample and very comfortable. The garden was a delight, and so well maintained. We could not find a weed anywhere! The location was ideal for a relaxing break. The village too was very pleasant with lovely walks from the cottage.
“How would you improve the property?”

What did you like/dislike?.... could not improve
Mr Read

“We had a most wonderful stay there.”

The extensive garden scored 20 out of 10! from my three young grandchildren. What a great bonus, with games of cricket (within the flower boundary of course), and football. The cottage itself scored on all fronts, from the quirky low beams (catching two of my family several times until they learned to duck down!), to the lovely kitchen, dining room, lounge, den, and the roomy bedrooms.
Mr Smith

“It was very well appointed cottage and fulfilled all of our requirements.”

The garden is huge and reasonably secluded and was enjoyed when the weather permitted.
Mr Baker

“Fantastic house in a lovely village.”
Wright

“The situation and setting of the house was excellent for visiting a great variety of towns and delightful villages, stately homes, interesting churches according to Simon Jenkins, and beautiful gardens.”

The bird life in the garden was a joy. Mrs Wright, July 2017.
Capel

“Elmhurst Cottage was a great place to stay for our family weekend near Stratford.”

We enjoyed the outside eating area and the large extremely well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable and suited our party of 7 extremely well. We were even left cakes on our arrival and a bowl of chocolates which was a lovely touch. All in all a wonderful long weekend\ Camilla, Sept 2016
Ms Apel

The property

Elmhurst Cottage is a very attractive holiday cottage situated in a picture postcard village in the northern Cotswolds.

The cottage is utterly charming and filled with lovely period features including original beams, an inglenook fireplace and flagstone floors - all hardly surprising given that it dates back to the 1600's!

It's idyllic location over looking the beautiful village church of St Swithin's along with glorious views to open countryside make it ideal for a rural holiday, yet given there is a pub in the village along with some basic shops you've actually got plenty on your doorstep too.

The location is perfect for visiting many local Cotswold villages plus of course Shakespeare Country at Stratford upon Avon.

The owner has carefully maintained the property over the years and still is one of our most popular cottages and in our opinion for good reason.

The cottage is ideal for groups and families alike with good size bedrooms, a study with Xbox for the children and a large garden to the rear.

We love it here!

About the location

CHIPPING CAMPDEN

Moreton-in-Marsh 8 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 12 miles

This market town defines the saying "good things come in small packages" as it proves itself to be a wonderful place for tourists to stay. Chipping Campden sits in the northern part of the Cotswolds and boasts many historical buildings from St. James' church where the Chipping Camden Music Festival is held every year, to the early 17th century market hall upon which the town prides itself. Not only does the town have a rich history but much more, the high street is laced with charming Cotswold stone buildings with a range of shops and pubs. Nearby there are several beautiful, formal gardens for you to wander through. Chipping Campden has held its own 'Olimpick Games' since the early 1600s including peculiar sports such as 'shin-kicking', most certainly worth lining your holiday up with to experience something so unique. For a dose of famous history, head to the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon just 12 short miles away, it offers some charming little buildings, bookshops, theatres and museums.
