Head inside your new home away from home, where a spacious kitchen/diner awaits, fully equipped to handle everything from quick breakfasts to hearty evening feasts. Just next door, a useful utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer makes longer stays a breeze.

Flooded with natural light, the grand oak summer room offers a charming setting for memorable meals, with views stretching out over the garden.

Step outside, and you’ll find a true haven for outdoor living. Fire up the barbecue for an al-fresco feast, stretch out on the lawn with a good book, or sink into the hot tub as the evening sky darkens, whether it's a crisp winter night or a balmy summer’s evening, there’s no better way to unwind.

The ground floor also hosts a pleasant king-size bedroom with an integrated TV, ideal for those who prefer fewer stairs, and a convenient cloakroom to cater to your needs. Venture upstairs to discover three further bedrooms; a super-king-size with a TV and an elegant en-suite for that extra touch of privacy, a double, and a twin which is ideal for any younger guests or even friends sharing.

Finally, there is a family bathroom where you can unload the stresses of the day with a hot soak in the bath or a steamy rinse under the shower. Minutes away from your abode, venture to the thrilling Donington Park Circuit for a day of exhilarating motor-sport, or embrace tranquillity and natural beauty as you explore the treasures of the National Trust's Calke Abbey.

New Elms Farmhouse Reviews

We had a lovely break, the views from patio and hot tub area was great. The area is still under improvement so small children and pets require supervision but we had no issue with this. The children loved meeting the horses and the owners were accommodating when we had an query. They live next door but never intruded and we're there to help if needed. We had all we needed and the area had lots for the children and dogs to keep us all happy. The farmhouse was beautiful and we would stay again which says everything.

Everything about our stay here was perfect. The property is spotless, roomy, beautiful and has everything you need. The views spectacular. Hot tub obviously a winner! Only a 20 minute walk to Melbourne. Ali is an absolutely perfect hostess. Provided us with excellent advice on local restaurants and places to go. Meeting Seren, Aria and Layla an added bonus We had the best family holiday to suit all ages and I absolutely recommend staying here . We had the most amazing stay.
We had a lovely stay at this property and the host was very welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The property was immaculate and we'll be visiting again in the future. Thoroughly recommended.
What an incredible property. Immaculately clean, fitted out to the highest quality. Equipped with everything you could need, and views to die for! The hosts were absolutely lovely, leaving a card & balloon when they discovered we were there for our sons 21st. Would totally recommend, and will definitely return. Thank you for an amazing stay!

A week of total relaxation. So comfortable. And our host Ali ? Well. If wed have asked her to tuck us up in bed and sing us a lullaby, she would have!
We loved our stay in this amazing property. It was comfortable and had beautiful views of the countryside. The garden and hot tub were a real bonus as we the hosts who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, welcome and ensure that we had everything that we needed. The kids even got to meet their animals which was a highlight for them. We would definitely recommend this property.
5 Stars Perfect Girly Getaway! We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful cottage for a girly getaway with two kids, and it couldnt 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 muchneeded fresh air for the little ones too!. We honestly didnt want to leave and are already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property, and the layout and ground were perfect for the families staying. Gorgeous views and well kitted out, with lots of space for little ones! Communication from the owners was second to none, with lots of recommendations to share would definitely recommend!
Amazing stay for a group of friends 40th birthdays. Beautiful house in beautiful surroundings. Everything we needed and more, so much space yet still felt intimate. Our host was fantastic and made us feel so welcome. Thoroughly recommend and we definitely look to return again next year. Thanks you
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. Cant recommend it enough, we have already booked for longer next time.
Elizabeth
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 !
