Charming cottage
My family stayed in the cottage in December, it was charming and homely and had a decorated Christmas tree in which was a lovely touch. The cottage kitchen is well stocked and organised with everything you need. It is a quiet location an easy stroll from Ashtead village. Plenty of parking and a large garden should you stay in the summer months. My folks would happily stay again. The property owners were punctual, professional and friendly with communication. Thank you very much!

Wonderful stay in Ashtead!
We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Greg’s property. They were incredibly responsive to all our questions, the home is very clean, well furnished and appointed for all your cooking needs. Ashtead was a great jumping off point for us to revisit many of our old haunts in Surrey, Sussex and Kent. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for such a wonderful time!

Lovely, Private, Spacious
This is a beautiful stand-alone cottage in Ashead, with lots of beautiful outdoor and indoor space. Ashtead is a lovely one-street town in of itself, and is only a 5 minute drive from Epsom. The house is meticulously clean, the kitchen is beautiful and very well-equipped, and the owners, Greg and Sarah are exceedingly helpful and attentive. We would definitely stay here again. It is a true find and gem in the Epsom VRBO market.

Modern elegance and spacious room
We had a great stay in this lovely cottage which was laid out very nicely with a separate kitchen, dining and living room. It was also a very short drive to a train station with parking which made getting to and from London very easy.

Cozy, comfortable, wonderful hosts…..
Wonderful location and easy access to high street, although recommend access to a vehicle as very busy country lane with no footpath for 100m or so which we didn’t feel comfortable walking. Cottage very clean and comfortable and the hosts Sarah and Greg were extremely accommodating and welcoming on arrival and also respecting our privacy throughout our stay. Overall we really enjoyed our 2 week stay here and a big thank you to Sarah and Greg for hosting us !!!

Heavenly Hosts!
We booked this property as the location ticked a lot of boxes for us regarding the activities we had planned for the duration of our stay. I'm not familiar with this part of the country, but it is a truly beautiful setting for a truly beautiful cottage. Sympathetically and tastefully renovated and furnished to a very high standard, it was a pleasure to stay in this lovely property. There was everything we needed for our stay, with a gorgeous high street 5 minutes drive away for our provisions. Train links into London are excellent. Top hosts who made us feel very welcome - nothing was too much trouble. We are hoping that our stars align again to give us an excuse for a return trip!
