Elder Cottage is perfect for 2 people (a couple) who are looking for a peaceful rest in a charming village. It's comfortable, all necessities are there and it's really spotless. The situation in the north of the Cotswolds is perfect to discover all the beautiful villages and monuments. The welcome was warm and we felt at home immediatly. Especially when considering a longer stay in the region (1 week or more), Elder Cottage is a very good alternative as you have all facilities to cook, wash/dry some clothing and enjoy some privacy. |

We have been staying at Elder Cottage for the last ten years and it never disappoints. Catherine makes sure you are made very welcome with bread, milk etc all waiting for you. The cottage is very pretty, comfortable & cosy. It is in a lovely village with 3 very good pubs, a convenience store, butcher, & post office.You never need to go any further if you just want complete relaxation. Although you are only a few minutes from Chipping Camden, Broadway & Stratford to name just a few of the pretty places nearby. |
