Thank you so much Lynne for your wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure having you and Trevor stay with us and we are so glad you enjoyed the cottage, the hot tub and all the little personal touches. It really means a lot to know that you appreciated the care we put into making the cottage feel special. You were both such wonderful guests — warm, respectful and so lovely to communicate with. Coming in after your stay to find everything so beautifully clean and tidy, was just the icing on the cake! It honestly looked like no one had been there 😊 We’d love to have you both back anytime. Thank you again for choosing Ella Cottage and for taking such wonderful care of it. ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay at Dora's place as we really loved her attention to detail; it was cosy, the complimentary cake was a pleasant surprise and we really enjoyed winding down in the tub. It was super easy to communicate with Dora and the cottage was exactly as listed, providing all the amenities that we would need in a private and quiet location. We'll definitely come back in the future.

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights and we had a spendid time. The accomodation is clean, tidy and home-y. The stay exceeded our expectations. The hot tub was lovely, the host Dora was very sweet and welcoming. Parking was not an issue, as we were allowed to park in front of their garage. The bathroom came with shampoo and conditoner. The kitchen had all the amenities and we had complimentary breakfast (cereal). It was a lovely cosy stay and I would rebook again.

Great way to wine 🍷 down

Just a beautiful secluded cottage, perfect way to wind down, and admire the sunset in the spa, with a glass of wine and a roaring fire under the stars. Delightful touches on arrival with Doras personal delicacies. They went abo e a eyo d for pur omforts.
