a lovely peaceful setting on a farm. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice that all shower and shampoo was there plus all washing powders. There was a dishwasher but we didn't use it. Nice verandah to sit out on with table and benches. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated] |

Wonderful! Great venue to visit family based in Leicestershire and Lodge very well equipped with a lot of attention to detail. Two small children who loved the farm, animals and tractors. We will be back! The Lodge suited our needs perfectly. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated] |

The Elms Farm Holiday Lodge is perfect for a short or long break. The surroundings are wonderful and the Lodge itself is very comfortable and homely - a home away from home! Although it is a self-catering property so much is already provided for you such as towels and cleaning products and thoughtful little touches such as handcream and shower creme, books and games in the living room and there is also a television with digi-box and a dvd player. And a lovely surprise on arrival - biscuits and also tea and coffee in the pots! The property is obviously well maintained too, it really is a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to 'get away from it all' but wants the comforts of home too. |

My Wife and self have stayed at this venue on two separate visits,once in the summer,and once in the winter.On both visits,the lodge was exceptional in it`s comfort and facilities.Rarely,in my opinion,does one come upon a venue,such as this, that caters so well for the comfort and enjoyment, tranquillity; plus the friendliness of Greta and Richard.As an aside,the Farm is a treat to explore, tidy and well run,with well looked after animals ----- ask to see Bertie the Bull ---- he`s gorgeous!!!. |

This was the perfect place to spend a very long weekend and wished it could have been longer. The welcome was great the lodge, so comfortable and cosy. Everything we needed had been provided. Lovely rural atmosphere. [Reviewer sent comments directly to editor] |

Perfect for a family get together. My second visit with my 2 daughters and 3 grand boys all under 5. They loved the farm. |
