  • "Elm Tree Cottage is a first class property with excellent access to nearby Melton Mowbray and surrounding Rutland and Leicestershire."

    The local March house farm was a very good eatery that was walking distance from the Cottage. The cottage owners were very helpful and freindly. We will definitely use Elm Tree Cottage again.

  • "While the listing does say the property does back onto the road running through the village, it doesn’t state that it is a very busy road."

    Also, I hadn’t comprehended just how close the road was. The pavement between the property and the road is so narrow you would have problems walking along it, meaning you are constantly aware of the whoosh of traffic noise. The first thing we did, after a broken nights sleep, and getting woken up at 5am with commuter traffic, was go and buy several different ear plugs - hoping one of them would work. And they certainly helped. Had we known about the road noise we wouldn’t have booked this property. The property isn’t bad, it’s just wasn’t the right property for us, and if I had realised about the road noise then we would have booked elsewhere.

    A beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable home from home . It is on the village road but you hardly hear traffic so not a problem at all . Ironically after we booked the cottage and told relatives where we were staying they were good friends of Ian and Carolyn the owners who incidentally are a very pleasant friendly couple . Highly recommend staying here and we will be using it again for future visits .

    Glad you enjoyed your break Nice to have friends in common (even Rob) Look forward to perhaps hosting you again Ian And Carolyn Property Owner

  • "It was a lovely stay with a homely feel, would stay again."

    Was cold on arrival due to heating issue, resolved by owners within a few mins. Although next to the main road of the village had no issues with noise. The wifi is very temperamental especially in the kitchen and living room, phone signal can easily drop but that’s understandable due to location. Lovely farm shop and cafe just located up the road along with the local milk hut as you enter the village. Perfect for a peaceful relaxing stay.

    Pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for your comments. The WiFi issue is being looked into with a change of provider in February. Property Owner
