Reducing fire risk

We're asking all guests to please avoid using any woodburner or open fire in their accommodation at this time, as sparks escaping from the flue may lead to wildfire due to the current dry conditions in the surrounding land. Thank you for helping us do whatever we can to reduce the risk of wildfire.

    Your family will love their holiday at St Gabriel's Elm Cottage. Thanks to its remote location, children can safely explore the extensive grounds, climbing trees and building dens. Older guests can enjoy the excellent walking trails that begin just outside the property.
