We stayed at Sansome House Cottage for one week in August, travelling with my husband and two daughters (7 & 9). The cottage itself is so lovely and quintessentially English country - I never realised places like this still existed so it was so exciting to enter and explore all the lovely rooms which smelt so gorgeous and the sweet smelling garden with its abundance of flowers and shrubs with welcoming table and chairs. Felicity, the owner, had left fresh flowers, bread and jam together with a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. This was a lovely welcome after our long 5 hour journey and it didn't take long for us to 'tuck in'. Ilmington itself is a lovely village and the people we encountered along our evening strolls were incredibly friendly, chatting to the children - handing out bread to feed animals etc. We visited both pubs, both of which are very different but both of which had their own charm. The cottage and village is so different from what we are used to so it was such a lovely change and we really felt as though we were in a different world.

What a wonderful, comfortable cottage you've created here! We loved our two week stay at Sansome Cottage and I'm already dreaming about coming back. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable, and has every amenity one could want. The kitchen is large, light-filled, and perfect for cooks. We loved the outdoor sitting area and private garden, when we could use it... The weather didn't exactly cooperate during our stay but that's OK, we still had great meals at both pubs in Ilmington, Ebrington (our favorite!!), took walks and drives everywhere, and explored many of the villages. Felicity and Tony were gracious hosts and Felicity gave much-appreciated advice and guidance. Highly recommended.

A truly special place, great hospitality and friendship. We've had a marvellous stay in your very comfortable cottage enjoying your warm hospitality, lovely spacious rooms and garden and good advice about the area. Would come again and again & tell all our friends.

Wonderful. Also for dutch visitors. We hardly saw any dutch entries in the guestbook. We had a great time in England, visiting London, Stratford, Oxford, Watford (Warner Bros studio) and Warwick. And every time coming back to the nice and "gezellige" cottage (gezellig is one dutch word for a combination of comfortable, nice, homely, warm, peaceful).

We have had a wonderful week. Everything was superb. Many thanks.
