Little Elm Reviews

Emma
We loved this cosy little cottage! It’s super clean and has everything you need. The secure garden was perfect for our dog, especially with the outdoor hot water tap-such a handy touch. Even though it’s in the countryside, it’s easy to get out and explore, with some lovely walks nearby. The hot tub was a real bonus after a day out. Plus, a couple of great pubs just a short drive away. We’ll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. The views over the countryside from the hot tub were stunning, perfect for relaxing evenings. Parking was straightforward, with a handy charging point for our EV. The place was spotless and beautifully furnished, with everything we needed, especially since we love cooking. It’s pet-friendly too, with treats and little extras for our dog, which was a lovely touch. Plenty of places to explore nearby if you're happy to drive. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place has been recently refurbished and was spotlessly clean, with loads of little touches that made it super cosy and inviting. The peaceful setting is perfect for relaxing, with plenty of birdsong and a lovely view of a small field where sheep and rabbits are out at dawn and dusk. Patrick and Sharon are such warm, friendly hostsand the location was just right-close enough to unwind without heading far. Honestly, it’s a good place we’ll definitely return to!
