    "5 Stars – Perfect Girly Getaway!"

    We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful cottage for a girly getaway with two kids, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so cozy and welcoming. The cottage was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy ourselves. A special mention has to go to Alison, who was absolutely lovely! She made us feel right at home and even took the time to let us and the kids visit her horses – such a thoughtful and memorable touch that made our stay even more special. It was the ideal mix of peaceful countryside vibes and quality time with the girls (and some much-needed fresh air for the little ones too!). We honestly didn’t want to leave and are already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

    "The Elms was first class, everything was catered for, could not of asked for anything more as it was all thought of."

    The welcome basket was fantastic, as were the gifts and birthday banners for my sister. The views and grounds were stunning, Ali and her family made us feel so welcome. This is a truly magical place to relax unwind and be in the moment. Can’t recommend it enough, we have already booked for longer next time.

    "The cottage is absolutely beautiful."

    It has stunning grounds and scenery, we spent the evenings enjoying the gardens, barbecuing and relaxing in the hot tub. The cottage was immaculately clean, lovely white bedding and towels, really comfortable beds that ensured we all slept really well. We were there with grandparents, adult children and grandchildren, everyone had an amazing time. The location is ideal, lovely walks, plenty of sight seeing and 35 minutes drive to Alton towers ! It's a place to go to all year round, in the winter I can imagine sitting in front of the log burner admiring the amazing skylines with a mulled wine ! The hosts were so welcoming and were happy to let the children visit the horses at feeding time. We cannot recommend this enough, it was a pleasure to stay there !

    Wow! What an incredible review! We are SO so happy that we could provide you with a stunning and comfortable setting to enjoy some quality, family time together. You guys were absolutely amazing guests and the children are a credit to you. We loved having you here and hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes The Staley Family Property Owner

MELBOURNE, DERBYSHIRE

Derby 8 miles.

Melbourne is a small Georgian market town in a delightful part of South Derbyshire on the edge of The National Forest. It is about 8 miles south of Derby and 2 miles from the River Trent. It contains a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. The village is also home to The church of St Michael with St Mary which is on the site of a much earlier Anglo Saxon building, and is regarded as one of the finest Norman Parish Churches in the country. It is 8 miles north of Swadlincote. There is much to enjoy in the village, including a lovely relaxing walk through rolling South Derbyshire countryside, starting from Melbourne’s medieval market place. Two of the county’s gems, Melbourne Hall and the Parish Church of St Michael’s, are passed in the early part of your stroll. Make the most of this attractive location all year round.
