We had a lovely stay for my mums 60th birthday! The hosts were very welcoming & we were given a delicious cake on arrival, they made sure the hot tub was cleaned and sorted each day. Only downside really was the beds were a little noisy to sleep on. On a positive, there was lots of space and choice on where to sleep. The surroundings were so nice located on a farm where we had the delight of looking at the horses & their newly born foals - a pleasure to watch while we were in the hot tub.

We really enjoy visiting Elm Cottage for our visits to Alton Towers. It’s very easy to get there from the cottage. The cottage is extremely spacious and having three bathrooms is great. Access to the outside play equipment directly from the lounge is particularly useful for very young children. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything we need. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is very clean. A very pleasant cottage indeed. Linda and David are great hosts. Very unobtrusive but there if we need them. Highly recommended.
