The Elbow is full of charm and offers comfortable accommodation

With its period features, The Elbow is full of charm and offers comfortable and cosy accommodation for up to four guests. On the ground floor the entrance porch leads in to a pretty sitting and dining room with a feature fireplace with an electric wood burning effect fire. Guests can enjoy relaxing on the comfortable sofas or the window seats whilst watching television or reading, and the dining table and chairs share this attractive open-plan room.

Pleasant accomodation
The hosts were friendly and helpful and the accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. However it took a long time for it to warm up as the heating wasn't on when we arrived. I don't consider the bathroom was 'en suite' to the main bedroom as it was up some steep windy stairs. Also the shower had seen better days. The surrounding area is beautiful but we would choose somewhere with a pub close by another time.

A sanctuary for a re-union with a family member.
The Elbow was cosy and homely, a home away from home with a lovely cottage garden and friendly hosts.
