Self-Catering Description

Lucy and Merv' invite you to take some time out in the country with its fresh air and wonderful open spaces can be one of the finest ways to get away and relax, especially if you haven't tried it before. Dovetail this to gloriously comfortable, modern accommodation and you have yourself a perfect weekend getaway working away from home or extended holiday.

Well, if this really is the sort of break you've been dreaming of then Elm Tree Farm has a range of places that will perfectly suit your valuable time away. Whether it's just a night away from home, a weekend trip with friends or maybe taking a week away with the family,

Nestled on the edge of the Tove Valley in the Northamptonshire countryside, we're close enough to take advantage of Milton Keynes Shopping Center and all its conveniences whilst far enough away from it to be able to relax and enjoy the slow country life.

Just down the road is the home of British motor racing, Silverstone, with its packed schedule of events, whilst the pace is somewhat reduced around the corner as we sit next to the Grand Union canal in our rolling fields.

A short stride across the road is our wonderful local pub, the Navigation Inn is a classic country pub and has been the location for many late night meetings for cycling and walking enthusiasts planning their next days jaunt.

We will definitely come back again! 5 months ago

We stayed in a two bedroom cottage. 4 adults and one baby. Room sizes were generous (both) and the owners accommodated for our request to make the twin room into a super king. The down stairs living and kitchen was more than ample for our needs and things such as washing up liquid/clothes/dishwasher tablets etc were all provided. We were late arriving on the Friday evening and again this was accommodated for with no issues. The cottage was clean, tidy, had everything we needed and more and set in a beautiful location.
There is also a lovely pub over the road which provided a delicious breakfast to go.
We will most definitely return when we are back visiting our friends in the local area.
Thank you very much for such a lovely stay!

I recently stayed in one of the Studio Apartments. The accommodation was clean and very spacious. The shower in the Ensuite was large, powerful and with an endless supply of hot water. Everything I find essential. The location is also very peaceful. But do bear in mind it is a farm. I am an early riser so the fact that I was woken by a Cockerel at approx 4am every morning was not too much of an issue. It may be for some. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Found this accommodation on line, It looked & sounded lovely, The reviews I read, have all been positive, I can add to that list of Rave reviews.
Lucy & Merv are a lovely friendly couple whilst not intrusive and leave you to enjoy your stay.
we actually preferred staying here compared to a sterile Hotel,
the accommodation is lovely, the rooms really clean, light fresh and immaculate, the facilities more than adequate, I managed to cook a beautiful Thai meal with the kitchen facilities available.
It is not far from nearby attractions, a perfect little place to stay when you need to get away.

Perfect 6 years ago

The accommodation is great; neat, new, fresh and spacious – I stayed in the one bedroom unit for six weeks. The area is quiet and peaceful and should one prefer not to attend to one’s own meals, one can hop over the road to the country pub for a meal … food was okay. Internet was a problem for the first two weeks but the proprietors went out of their way to ensure that it was fixed and in fact, as I was leaving, a total upgrade was underway. For me, it would have been great if they offered more than just a weekly rate i.e. a long-stay rate. Should I come back to the UK for business, I would surely like to stay at Elm Tree again.

We based our main summer holiday around the Silverstone Grand Prix weekend and found the location excellent for both this and visits to Milton Keynes and beyond.

The wifi meant that everyone was able to chat to friends and email so the separation anxiety was not too severe. We traveled into London a few times also – London Midland were doing a great deal for 3 or 4 people traveling together – parked at Milton Keynes and took the train from there.

We did spend most of our time at Silverstone but did manage to eat at:
The Navigation Inn - 30 seconds WALK away - nice beer and standard pub grub, but very handy as it is within walking distance.
The White Hart, Grafton Regis - 10mins drive. Great pub food and ales on tap - worth a visit if you have a driver in your party.
Royal Thai Restaurant, Stony Stratford - had a takeaway from here which we ordered and collected (10% discount for collection and again less than 10mins drive away. Food was very nice, tasty and just what we needed after spending a day at the circuit getting soaked right through.

Thrupp Cottage 9 Mar 12 7 years ago

Excellent accomodation and facilities in a relaxing rurual location. Being ultra "picky" our only gripe would be the state of the crockery and cutlery when we arrived. It was all dirty with a greasy film (possibly due to being put in the dishwasher without a tablet or on the wrong setting). This was a bit off putting but fine after we washed it all.

We appreciate the constructive advice, we will make sure it does not happen again....I have a thing about grubby cutlery so it is inexcusable! Glad you enjoyed your stay, and well done with the 1/2 marathon time

For my group of friends, the shallet was perfect... clean, well equipped, very comfortable. I hope to use shallet/s again.
Extra camp beds for 2 children were asked for but not provided but I'm not sure if this is partly my fault/not made completely clear in my email. Overall, very happy

Self-catering comfort 7 years ago

Thanks Lucy and Merv for creating very comfortable self catering accommodation. After 3 visits in 6 weeks, I can highly recommend them as a great alternative to bed and breakfast when travelling on business. The short stay studios are well equipped, warm and comfortable with a good shower. The location is great - out in the country with canal walks close by. There is a pub opposite but I didn't use it as the kitchen area was well equipped and I was able to prepare my own meals. I look forward to my next opportunity to visit.

Elm Tree Farm Accommodation 7 years ago

Elm Tree Farm Accommodation was excellent on the whole. It is new and clearly still being worked upon. The cottage we stayed in was well decorated, large and had excellent facilities. There were a couple of things which might help: large bath towels and oven gloves - but these are minor points.

Great value for money.

excellent stay 7 years ago

We stayed in the two bedroom cottage for two nights in August on a self catering basis. I can't praise the place enough. It was beautifully presented and more than big enough to accommodate the six people it is designed for. Although we didn't do any cooking just looking through the cupboards was good enough to know they have every imaginable piece of equipment to cook a banquet. The beds very so comfortable that a good nights sleep is guaranteed. What was lovely was waking up to the sounds of Daisy the cow (thats what we nicknamed her) and the sound of the geese and ducks. If visiting this area again we will definately stay here.

It was clean, comfortable, very friendly and conveniently positioned on rge canal side opposite a great pub and restaurant. Breakfast was great in the morning and we went on our way with a cheery goodbye. I would definately recommend Elm Tree Farm and would look to staying there again if we need accommodation in the area.

A real gem 7 years ago

If you are looking for somewhere that is friendly yet private, has it's own facilities as well as everything else you might want nearby in a beautiful setting, book Elm Tree Farm.
It was great for me as I like to stay somewhere that is a private space as well as a comfortable home from home rather than a sterile hotel. The friendly, welcoming and helpful family that is nearby if you need anything made it even better. The amazing price topped it off!
The only thing I could have improved was that the Internet wasn't working whilst I was there but they've only just opened the new rooms and BT haven't done there stuff on time.

Ideal for the Grand prix at Silverstone circuit 7 years ago

What a great location we found by chance only 20 mins from Silverstone and so easy to reach.
We stayed in the modern self catering cottages fitted with all facilities sited within the newly built development on the site of a working farm. Together with the fact that it is positioned opposite a pub that sits adjacent to the Grand Union Canal, serving the most fantastic food with real ale we could not have done better. Definitely stay again. Thanks Lucy.

We were even given breakfast hamper too which was nice. Only thing I missed was the cooked breakfast...
