“Lovely area, quality things in the kitchen”

- Mr Nott, October 2019
“The accommodation is well situated for exploring the Cotswold area and there's good local walks.”

Facilities are very good in the cottage with everything you're likely to need. The major drawback is if you will need to use the loft bedroom, you will need to be fairly agile as access is very restricted with steep stairs and low headroom. Its a lovely space though once in there. A couple of minor issues we had were that the shower drain was partially blocked meaning you had to be in and out quickly before it overflowed and there was a broken lamp base that had obviously been left to make it look ok. A way of reporting these minor issues is missing from within the cottage and so these will just carry over to the next booking. Maybe a fault reporting book should be put inside the cottage somewhere? All in all, would definitely return.

- Mr Maguire, October 2019

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback from your recent stay at Elm View, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! However, we are sorry to learn that you had an issue with the shower drain not working properly and a broken lamp base. In the cottage, there is a welcome folder with contact details (24/7) for any issues you might encounter during your stay and we always encourage our guests to make use of this and thereby let us know of anything which requires rectifying. We are sorry, that the broken lamp had not been reported by the Housekeeper. However, this has now been replaced and the drain has been cleared. With regards to the lack of headroom, this is highlighted on our website as we always aim to give a true reflection of the property at all times. Owner relations
“We had an excellent week-end at this attractive and well-appointed property,”

- Mr Jones, September 2019
“Very spacious property, could do with a separate toilet and better shower.”

- Mr Gregory, June 2019
“Great for Family get together”

The key phrase here is ‘home from home’. Kept in character with many personal items belonging to the owners. A very cosy spot and handily placed for all Cotswold attractions. The village itself is tiny but easily accessible and well placed for visits. We only stayed 2 nights as a family get together for family from Warks and Notts. We did venture out to Batsford Arboretum which was well worth a visit. The cottage is well equipped and easy to operate in. We cooked 2 meals easily as if at home. Our only ‘constructive’ comments would be - tall people 6feet plus should approach top bedroom with caution!. We did struggle to get any hot water until this morning not a problem as an electric shower. Lastly it would be nice to use the garden furniture but despite our scrubbing we couldn’t get the bird poo off but a jet wash should sort that out and we understand it is only just sitting out weather and this will be addressed. Absolutely recommend for all groups - famiilies, friends, with children or just couples.....one to remember.

“'Home from home' is the perfect phrase here.”

Lots of owners own things around which make it very comfortable and cosy. A very good size and well equipped cottage. The cottage is well placed and easily accessible . Paxford is not too far off the beaten track with very easy access to Chipping Camden and Moreton In the Marsh. Cottage has a good sized bathroom with electric shower which was good as we didnt have any hot water until the day we left. Not sure how it is heated perhaps a little more detail required on that aspect. Great WiFi and Iplayer on Tv made for comfortable evenings. It should be noted that the loft bedroom shouldn't be accessed by anyone over 6 feet! Having said that 2 out of the 3 couples in the cottage said they were happy to sleep there it is a lovely room as are all the bedrooms very spacious and comfortable. Our only other feedback would be to please jet wash the garden furniture as despite our scrubbing we couldn't get it clean enough to sit on in the sunshine. Accept its early in the aeason and that this can be resolved. Would i recommend/revisit? Absolutely!

- Mrs Murray, May 2019
“Address of Elm View cottage was given as 1 Upper Folly when actually itvis 3.”

It would be a good idea to correct this important detail in your published material. Cottage was vomfortable snd perfect for oyr break. We did not need to use the room under the roof as there were only 2 couples and one small child.

- Mrs Evans, May 2019
“Could do with a door on the kitchen to stop the dogs going upstairs”

- Mr Taylor, April 2019
“The listing does mention the stairs to the upper bedroom are steep but it should be emphasised that the ceiling on the staircase and on entering the bedroom is very low.”

The bottom staircase is also steep. The cottage is not luxury but adequately equipped, plenty of room but would definitely benefit from a second WC for a full household. With the garden, the kitchen utility room layout and footpaths almost from the door it is ideal for several dogs so it seems a shame the property has reduced to only one dog for future lets. I think if restricting to one dog one would expect a higher standard in the property. The property has very efficient heating and hot water.

- Mr Sheil, December 2018
“Very comfortable,clean and welcoming house.”

The kitchen was spacious and great for family meals. Beds comfy with lovely fresh bedding. We loved all the history of this family home. Nice to come back to after trips to Blenheim, Compton Verney and local walks.

- Mrs Marr, November 2018
“Although this cottage was warm and cosy we didn't feel it was suitable for 6 people.”

There was not enough comfortable seating in the lounge for all of us. Also, the kitchen definitely needs an upgrade it was very tired with a peculiar mix match of equipment, some of which was very much boot sale finds. Not what we expect to find but, perhaps some people quite like that sort of style

- Harrison, October 2018

Thank you for your comments. Since your stay, we have replaced both sofas in the living room. This, plus the armchair, means there is now plenty of comfy seating which will easily allow 6 people to relax by the log fire. The kitchen has been upgraded (see below). Although I can assure you none of the equipment was from a boot sale(!), not everything matched, and we understand that is important for guests. We have replaced the cutlery service, utensils and cooking pans, so that the kitchen experience will be a convenient and enjoyable one! Many thanks again for your comments. Owner relations
“We enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was clean and tidy. Furnishings were a bit dated, living room in particular, and not very comfortable. Location good. Lovely village and lots to see and do.

- Mrs Dixon, October 2018

Thank you for your comments. We have been back to the cottage and reviewed the living room furniture and we agree that it was time for a re-vamp. In response- we have replaced both sofas in the living room with brand-new comfy ones! There is plenty of comfortable seating in there now. Thank you again for your helpful comments. Owner relations
“The majority of the cottage was well decorated.”

There far too many personnel items and stacks of old book around the cottage it needs to have clean, fresh look without clutter..... Kitchen was poorly equipped and the majority of items looked like they were from someone's else home and no longer required - bit of a dumping ground for discarded crockery etc, Kitchen table very dirty and is in need of an up cycle. Whilst personnel touches are nice in a holiday home, a holiday home should not become the dumping ground for the owners unwanted items.

- Ms Collins, September 2018

Thank you for your comments. Since your stay, the cottage has been re-painted. We took on board your comments about the kitchen equipment and have bought a smart new cutlery service, kitchen utensils and saucepan set which means that cooking and eating at Elm View should now be a pleasure! The antique kitchen table has now been renovated to its original glory. Iâm sorry to hear you didnât like the personal touches. As this is a home which has been in the family for generations, when we renovated the property for holiday letting we made sure we kept and displayed some of the family history- notably in the rail and air industry- which many guests have found interesting. There are indeed many books at the cottage- including some lovely childrenâs books which are over 70yrs old- which guests have enjoyed looking at. We have looked at all the books and made sure they are very tidily arranged on the shelves. I do hope that should you make a return visit, you will be pleased with the improvements and enjoy your stay. Owner relations

The property

Elm View is a delightful cottage situated in quiet and peaceful surroundings yet super-convenient for the ever popular locations of Chipping Campden, Broadway and Stow on the Wold.

The house has a wonderfully cosy and homely feeling to it, with a welcoming open fire in the living room and attractive views all round, it has that classic Cotswolds feel of home, charm and quirkiness all rolled in together.

In fact there's no wonder it's homely, the property has been in the same family for generations and whilst there have been improvements, it retains the character and charm that have been there since the year dot!

It is situated on the lane that passes through the heart of village (there is a superb pub a short stroll away - Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor!) and spot on for a break where visiting the surrounding places is part of the plan, or simply a few walks in the countryside are all you have in mind.

There is a good sized enclosed garden to the rear/side, plus ample parking and open views to the front - in fact there is a country path about 20 yards from your front door.

Very much a 'quintessential Cotswolds holiday home', we are quite certain you will love this choice and enjoy everything it has to offer, ideal for parties of 4 to 6 people.

Very, very comfortable!

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.

Note: Second double bedroom has bed only accessible from one side. Please note on the second floor the stairs are quite steep and has very restricted headroom leading up to the top bedroom
