Great and spacious bathroom. Really appreciated lots of small considerate touches all through the property, buiscuits, tea and coffee, fresh milk and orange juice in the fridge and plenty more . The owner had obviously made serious effort to provide all the little things you might like. Much appreciated.

Ellie’s spa cottage Stanley

Great location and cottage was well appointed. We especially enjoyed the port and chocolates. The bathroom accessories were excellent and the dvds were welcomed. Perhaps a broader selection of genres would have more appeal. Only negative comment would be about the condition of the spa which needed maintenance. Breakfast ingredients were very well appointed and overall a very pleasant stay and one which we would highly recommend to others.

It was fantastic we will gladly go back to Ellie’s

We loved how the bed was so comfortable that we slept great. It was clean /fresh and like home. We loved having our own car park space. Loved having the extras DVD’s, chocolate’s, fruit’s and many others. This place was near everything bakers, hotel, chemist, supermarket, art /craft shops plus right near to go up the Nut so we did it a couple of times (good and bad weather). We are a so glad that we stayed at Ellie’s it made our 35th wedding anniversary a great time to remember!.
