“Fantastic holiday home, everything was as expected.”

What a lovely surprise

What a lovely surprise from the owner of a very large beautiful cake, large box of chocolates and a bottle of wine. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

Elizabeth May 2022

“We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Elmhurst Cottage.”

The outside area and garden especially were fantastic for our two families to get together. We had everything we needed to make a lovely weekend away. The house was clean and the bedrooms very comfortable. The welcome treats and essentials that were provided were much appreciated and gave the place a welcoming feel. Communication with Sykes Cottages was also prompt and helpful. Finally, Sandra went an extra mile helping us with a toy we had left behind for which we are very grateful! We would definitely recommend a stay here. Thank you!

- Elizabeth, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage and also managed to make the most of the garden. We would love to welcome you back again! Property Owner

- John James, April 2022

Roberta April 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Elmhurst.”

The property was immaculate and the host Sandra was so helpful. The little treats she left for us and the children were very much appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are holidaying in that area another time . Excellent stay. Thank You.

- Roberta, April 2022
Beryl March 2022

“We were all very pleased with our accommodation which suited our needs perfectly.”

The cottage is very attractive, warm and comfortable, with a 'home from home' feel. Unfortunately it was the wrong time of the year to enjoy the lovely garden. The extra touches were a lovely surprise and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

- Beryl, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you had a lovely stay at Elmhurst Cottage. We would love to welcome you back in the future - especially with the nicer weather! Thank you once again for providing us with your lovely feedback. Property Owner

Liz November 2021

“The cake, Prosecco and flowers on arrival was a lovely touch.”

The owner was very accommodating by coming out on the Friday night to sort out a minor issue. The property was clean with all brand new bedding, and dining facilities was a perfect set up for our needs, kitchen brilliantly equipped also with everything you could need to cook full meals rather than just the basics, perhaps could have done with an extra chair in the lounge. Finally great to have off road parking to accommodate 4 cars. Overall, a real home from home feel.

- Liz, November 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and will pass your suggestions for improvement onto the owner. We would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Dave October 2021

“We had a brilliant stay at Elmhurst cottage.”

We arrived to bottles of Prosecco and the most amazing cake (thank you Sandra) and the cottage is just stunning! It was the first time we could meet up as a family post Covid (my parents, my sister and family and my wife and kids) and it was just ace! Couldn’t recommend the cottage, the owners and Sykes cottages enough! Deffo 5 stars!

- Dave, October 2021

Juliet July 2021

“There was very limited WiFi.”

This was a problem as limited phone and internet signal so couldn’t do any work or be in contact with family. The fridges were both broken in that they had no racks in the doors and one had a broken veg tray.

- Juliet, July 2021

Helen October 2020

“It is a lovely cottage in a good location but it feels tired and is in need of a make over there were cobwebs on the light fittings downstairs the little lights in the bathroom didnt work in 2 of the bathrooms one of the rooms had no aerial so although there was a tv it couldnt be used the only mirrors are above the sinks in the bathrooms so you cant dry your hair in front of a mirror and there is no long mirror there were no instructions at all for anything the the boiler timer was wrong so the heating wasnt timed to come on at all and had to manually turned on and off ( in chilly late October) it is an expensive cottage and you expect luxury for that but it was lacking.”

- Helen, October 2020

I am sorry to hear things weren't as expected during your stay. I will be speaking to the owner and ensure the issues mentioned are rectified. Property Owner
Ailsa September 2020

“We only stayed in Elmhurst cottage for 2 nights but wished it was longer.”

Admittedly the glorious weather probably helped, but we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was so pretty inside and out with the gardens being much larger than the photos suggested. Everything was spotlessly clean, very reassuring in these Covid times but always a requirement. It sleeps 9 and we were only 5 but there was lots of seating for both eating and relaxing.I appreciated the presence of the basic kitchen items, washing up liquid etc so that I didn't need pack every last thing, and the welcome bottles of wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. I would recommend this cottage.

- Ailsa, September 2020

Thank you for recommending Elmhurst Cottage. We wish you could have stayed longer too and hope that you will return for a longer stay in the future. Property Owner
Adam August 2020

“This cottage was wonderful.”

It was in a very good location, had a beautiful garden, was very clean and well looked after and had all the facilities we needed and the owners were very welcoming, they left us the cot and high chair as requested. I would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend Elmhurst cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this area. Thanks so much

- Adam, August 2020

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We would love for you to return in the future! Property Owner
Sue July 2020

“A very spacious property In beautiful surroundings and enjoyed by three generations of the family.”

The property was well equipped and it was so lovely to be able to eat every meal outside in the garden with beautiful birdsong to accompany us! We very much appreciated the countryside walks and cycles; we had not been away from our local area in London for over four months.

- Sue, July 2020

It's so lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay at Elmhurst Cottage. It's a fabulous spot to explore the area. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Ayesha February 2020

“The cottage was well equipped and clean.”

However, it did not meet our expectations as it was on the main road and the One bedroom was too small for a couple. The price did not reflect the size and the standard of the cottage. But it must be said that the owner was very nice and flexible with checkin and out.

- Ayesha, February 2020
Miss Noakes December 2019

“I have already provided feedback relating to a complaint and this was not satisfactorily resolved.”

I have used sykes in the past but am not likely to again.

- Miss Noakes, December 2019

Emilio December 2019

“Cosy cottage with everything we needed!”

- Emilio, December 2019
Breda September 2019

“The house was lovely and had everything we needed for seven ladies sharing.”

Location good as well. The owner helpful and friendly. We appreciated her arrival gift of smartie/chocolate cake and prosecco.

- Breda, September 2019
Karen September 2019

“We all had a lovely time at the cottage.”

There were nine of us in all including two children and one infant. Each family had their own bathroom facilities which was very convenient and the garden was wonderful for playing in. As posted before, Sandra left us an amazing chocolate smartie cake and 2 bottles of prosecco which got our holiday off to a flying start! Would definitiely stay there again. Only things we couldn't find were a dustpan and brush (although we later found two brushes under the dresser in the kitchen) and a broom. All in all an amazing time was had by all.Thank you.

- Karen, September 2019
Edward August 2019

“An ideal venue for a family gathering with lots of space and a large garden for the children to enjoy.”

If you are looking for a 5* Holiday, look again, but if you want a welcoming friendly environment away from it all then this is the place to be.

- Edward, August 2019
Philip July 2019

“The cottage itself was comfortable and provided everything we needed.”

Only criticism? Perhaps more insructions on on facilities (oven, TV ,Dishwasher etc) would be a good idea. The village pub rovide an ex cellent evening meal for nine. Village church more thasn worth a visit. Access to Stratford very easy for theatre visit. A great garden; it being a hot week, we spent a lot of time out side and eating 'en plein air' was a real p[leasure. All in all we could not have chosen better.

- Philip, July 2019
Gill July 2019

“We had a lovely break a few things needed looking at in the house but nothing which spoiled our weekend break”

- Gill, July 2019
Mrs Hand June 2019

“This is my third stay at Elmhurst Cottage.”

It's absolutely beautiful. It's set in such a pretty village. The local pub, The College Arms is very welcoming. We would definitely stay again!!

- Mrs Hand, June 2019
Jonathan April 2019

“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 it worth pointing out. Would highly recommend this cottage

- Jonathan, April 2019
William April 2019

“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.

- William, April 2019
Miss Kirk October 2018

“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.”

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.

- Heslop Family,

Sandra the owner had decorated the house beautifully for xmas.

- Mrs McB,
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 C,
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.

- Mrs R,
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.

- Mr Lucas,
“How would you improve the property?”

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 Read,
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.

“Fantastic house in a lovely village.”

“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

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.

Its general 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.
