| Cottage Review:
Very pretty, cosy cottage for 2 people, well equipped (all towels & bedding are provided and even a hairdryer & iron, the kitchen had everything we could possibly need). Little conservatory that was ideal for taking off and storing muddy/wet boots & jackets after the walks (which has often been a problem in other accomotdations). Ideal for our dog was an enclosed field right outside that we were kindly allowed to use, so she could be off the lead and run as much as she wanted to. Greta was helpful but never intruded, we felt very much at home in the cottage.

| Cottage Review:
We heartily concur with all the previous reviews, the quality of this cottage and amenities quite surprised us. One small recommendation, the step between kitchen/sitting room, sitting room/dressing room and bathroom shower tray are difficult for older guests that have walking difficulties. A hand grip at the side of the openings etc. would help this. A heated towel rail and a shelf for toiletries would also be appreciated. |

| Cottage Review:
A comfortable well equipped cottage in a peaceful rural location adjacent to farm. Nice and spacious for 1/2 people and on one level (small single steps between rooms).Rooms were bright and furnished in simple attractive style. Lovely hot and powerful shower.The garden opposite the cottage was a nice outlook and I would have sat out if the weather had let me!A lovely location for dogs as the owners allowed me to walk in the fields, plenty more public footpaths nearby. Owners helpful but discreet and respected my privacy. Attractive village of Fleckney 1 mile away with necessary facilities. |

I was on my own with 2 dogs but the cottage would be fine for a couple too. |

| Cottage Review:
Greta provided so many thoughtful welcoming touches; a spotless cottage, a tea tray, flowers but also practical things like pub recommendations and a couple of files of ideas for walking and cycling, which was exactly what we had come to the area for. Once settled in, we were left alone to enjoy the peace and quiet and the cottage was very well equipped, we had everything we needed when we returned from blustery days out. We highly recommend Elms Farm! |

No problems booking over internet from Australia. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts, cottage had everything we required, very cosy and comfortable. Spent four weeks enjoying countryside and birds, very good value. Fleckney has supermarket and phone box, close to Wigston and Market Harborough, ideal location as we have family in the area. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others. |

| Cottage Review:
We have stayed at Elm Farm Cottage on several occasions over the past 3 years. The cottage is extremely well equipped and very tastefully furnished. It is very cosy in the winter with its full central heating. The farm setting with surrounding coutryside is lovely and the cottage is ideally situated for visiting Leicester. |

| Cottage Review:
From the warm welcome to the comfort of the cottage and value for money, this is a stay well recommended. Many country walks on your doorstep and a good old fashion pub down the road. The amenities in the cottage could not be faulted with big farm house kitchen, washing machine in conservatory at side and comfy bed. We will be back. |
