We had a wonderful stay! The property and house are absolutely gorgeous, as were our hosts! The place was clean and charming. The beds were comfortable and the blackout curtains were greatly appreciated when we were putting our two young boys to bed. We hope to stay here again in future.

We had the most wonderful experience staying at this adorable, clean, comfortable cottage. Sam and Anna are incredible hosts, so friendly and welcoming. So happy we selected Gotha Gardens for our home away from home in England.

Lovely country cottage with fabulous gardens

Very cozy and beautiful country setting with remarkable gardens. We took many meals from the on-site restaurant (we were without a car), and the food was outstanding. I recommend having a vehicle for supplies and activities unless you’re looking for a quiet retreat in the countryside.

Our experience with vrbo

Even thought our stay was work related, we were filming on the location with tight schedules, this place still made our stay absolutely wonderful! The area, the gardens around the house are stunning and so peaceful! Just outside the farm, a great opportunity to watch the sunset! Supermarkets, small shops, stations just a few minutes away! Easy and accessible! Sam, our host was extremely kind, helpful and available at any time of need! In addition, the best sleeps we got in a while 🙏 we’re super grateful we got to film in this amazing location!!

We had a lovely stay here. The property was gorgeous, set in beautiful grounds. Great communication from Sam - very quick at responding to messages. We would definitely stay again!The only thing we felt was missing was basic cooking ingredients like salt & pepper and vegetable oil but other than that, very happy with our stay!

Peaceful with Character

The cottage is stunning inside and out. Wonderful gardens and a lovely country location. 5mins into Baldock and 3mins into Ashwell. Sam was a perfect host. Will look to stay here again for the next family visit.

Impeccable country home

The Domek is a lovely, fresh barn conversion. Impeccably decorated, light and airy. The house is spotless and was well equipped making our short stay a complete pleasure. The gardens are spectacular. A real treasure.
