About The Gardeners Cottage

Resting on the gorgeous, landscaped gardens of the brilliant Elvetham Hotel in the small town of Hook, near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire, lies the stunning, three-bedroom holiday home of The Gardeners Cottage. Boasting off-road parking for three cars, pristine gardens with lawn, patio areas and a hot tub, as well as great positioning a short drive from the nearest amenities, this superb property makes a perfect base for a family or group of sharing friends who are seeking a relaxing, self-catered rural escape.

Inside, you will find plenty to love about this beautiful, period cottage, with a collection of bright and spacious living areas, including a fully-equipped kitchen/diner where you and your loved ones can prepare and enjoy your dinners, whilst a plush sitting room invites the whole group to kick back and relax whilst you watch a film on the sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. Before the sun sets, head outside and indulge with a dip in the outdoor hot tub, a truly idyllic way to spend an evening as you gaze up as the starry night begins to appear overhead.

When sleep finally calls, refresh with a revitalising shower before you eventually settle down for a well-earned rest in one of the three sumptuous bedrooms. If you can tear yourself from your lovely new home, head out to explore what The Elvetham Hotel, and your local area has to offer.

A medieval building set within historic grounds that have played home to both Saxon and Norman invasions, whilst also previously serving as a base for both Tudor and Elizabethan royalty, discover the numerous amenities housed by Elvetham, which include the Sylvanus Restaurant and the Gloriana Bar where you can enjoy a decadent Sunday lunch, a spot of afternoon tea, or even a cocktail or two one evening. Take time to peacefully roam the tranquil grounds at Elvetham, including the serene locale of William Goldring’s Garden, set within 35 beautiful acres of land, before you reconnect with nature on a walk along one of the many routes located within easy reach of the hotel grounds.

The Gardeners Cottage Reviews

Victoria
Cleanliness issues from the start, found a dirty sock in the lounge and the property hadnt been hoovered at all. Down stairs bathroom had an awful drainage smell, tea and coffee etc hadnt been replaced. Cottage wasnt ready at allotted time, had to wait another hour so to then get in the property and find it in such a poor condition was disappointing. Hot tub was freezing. Worst part of all was the unadvertised and undisclosed CCTV around the property, and most disturbing of all the camera overlooking the hot tub! Serious invasion of privacy and unfortunately did not notice until the last evening! Hotel that owns the property have never been in contact since the complaint to even offer an apology at the very least. Horrendous experience and still not resolved with Sykes and our stay was on 27th Dec!!!!
We enjoyed our stay at Gardners cottage. We stayed over Christmas and the cottage was decorated well for Christmas. The cottage was warm and cosy. We made use of the hot tub on most days. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the downstairs toiletshower room in the hallway we couldnt use after day one as there was a foul smell in that room and it was there all the time during our stay. It smelt like blocked drainssewage smell. I have reported this to reception and I hope it gets sorted. I noted that this has been commented on before in some previous reviews. Apart from this problem we had a great time and would stay there again.

Our stay was fabulous we had a lovely time facilities and amenities were amazing and location was great for us. Thank you for having us stay at this beautiful cottage. The only thing I would say that there was no bread knife. Other than that loved it x
Richard
Beautiful cottage. Didnt realise it was in hotel grounds when booked it which gave us access to hotel facilities as well. Grounds were Emma late and well maintained. We took our dog with us and there were treats water bowl and bed for her which was cute The cottage was really clean and comfortable, the hitting was brilliant and used every day. We had a maintenance issue that was dealt with almost immediately. Hotel and bar staff were polite and courteous especially Thomas who normally does weddings but was in the bar on the night we went for food. Would definitely book again
Elaine
Lovely cottage, just a couple of small complaints. We were a group of 6 1. There were some shortages with the cutlery and crockery, luckily the hotel staff resolved the issue. 2. There was also just a small round table and only 4 chairs in the garden, again the hotel came to the rescue with an additional small table and 2 chairs, although a larger garden table to seat 6 would have been nice allowing for outdoor dining. 3 No sunshade for hot weather which it was 4. Garden front and rear of property needed some TLC 5. There is also no wardrobehanging space or storage in the annex bedroom. bedroom.
Unfortunately , despite the comments from the hotel responding to the Jan 2024 review we found all the same issues with the cottage overall was dirty and with black mould around all bathroom and bedroom windows, poorly equipped kitchen, dirty upholstery and floors insecure garden plus no standard live TV channels and a utility roomarea we would never choose to use. We raised our issues with Barry Tehrani the Operations Manager, he had believed that the January issues had been sorted but clearly they had not. He was most apologetic and has assured us that he will personally ensure that all issues will be rectified which we trust he will do. The gardens of the hotel are immaculate and hotel and staff lovely. Sadly our stay was spoiled by the issues we encountered so hopefully the substantial refurbishment that is required will be carried out promptly and a new cleaning regime and checking process brought in.
Denise
Hotel were very supportive and addressed any concerns we had at the property. Overall very good, garden now fenced off and completely enclosed.
