Avenue Cottage was a great find for our family group. Nearby Ashstead Village had lovely shops and eating places. Access to the M25 was just minutes away. The owners were friendly and responded very quickly to us.
Definitely can recommend this property.

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.

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 !!!

During our holidays we spend some very restful and relaxing days in this nice holiday accommodation.
First to be said, that the owners living next to the house are very friendly and helpful.
The house itself was in a very well shape. Everything very clean. The kitchen has been equipped just with the right things (no useless things!) with plenty of space for personal food.
All rooms were arranged nicely and elegant. Just a place where you enjoy to stay.
Visiting London:
It takes about a 45min ride by train to London Victoria. You can park directly at station at reasonable prices. (Walking distance about 30min). Important: if you buy the tickets at the station you might get the better price there compared with the internet (in our case approx half price of the discounted on trainline).
In total we enjoyed the time very much and looking forward to come back one day!

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!

Wish I could give more than 5*!
We stayed for a second time at this property and it could not have been any more perfect! Clean, spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The communication and welcome from Sarah was beyond what we expected-she even took our shopping delivery in when we were running a little late! They have put so much care into the property- always making improvements and ensuring everything is convenient and beautiful! We are already getting ready to book our next visit. Thank you Sarah and family!

Lovely cottage in a great location
Sarah and Greg could not have been better hosts and the cottage was lovely. There was a well served local train station with a short journey to Victoria and Waterloo and we loved exploring London each day but retreating back to this tranquil spot. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and to a high standard and there was plenty of space/facilities for the four of us.
All the pre-arrival communication with Sarah and Greg was really timely, helpful and accurate and they were there to greet us when we arrived and to say bye as we left. Am sure nothing would have been too much trouble for them...not that we had any problems to raise!
Overall, we had a great stay in this lovely property and hope to return again.

Amazing!!
We had the best time at this property. Communication throughout the booking process was brilliant- Sarah was extremely helpful as we’d had a problem with another property and booking with her was easy and a pleasant process. When we arrived at the property, Sarah showed me around, giving detailed instructions and had even left the most thoughtful gestures as it was my birthday. The property was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable for 5 adults. Sarah even came to see us off and checked that we had had a good weekend. We will definitely be booking again to stay at this property- if only I could give more than 5 stars!

A wonderful weekend break
Sarah was most welcoming and accommodating and the property was spotless, very well furnished and well kitted out. The outside space was a real bonus and the location was excellent for enjoying the local Surrey nature spots.
We highly recommend this cottage, we had a super time and would not hesitate to stay here again.
Thank you, Sarah!

We had a team in the area finishing a project (raising an oak frame with SIP envelope) and this was the perfect place for them to relax after their days on site. It was clean, with everything that they needed there. Thank You.

This property was excellent all the way around - condition, cleanliness, location, hosts' assistance, and charm were all superb!

Beautiful cottage with lots of character
We stayed in July 2019. The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy and looks brand new inside. Had a meal in the garden which was very nice - surrounded by trees. The owner was really friendly and overall the stay exceeded our expectations - thanks!

Comfortable cottage a little out of the way
We had a pleasant, comfortable stay in the cottage which was located on a busy road about a 15 minute walk to Ashtead village where the closest shops are located. The last 50 meters of the walk has no sidewalks so you are forced to walk on the road. Cars will slow down for you if they see you, so be sure to walk on outside of bends. We felt uncomfortable taking our 8 and 11 year old kids on the walk more than once. We didn't hire a car so we used Uber to get to and from the Train Stations, each time warning the driver to pull off into the gated driveway where we would meet them near the road.
The hosts were very pleasant to work with. When we arrived they had only two bedrooms set up but they set up the third when we asked for our children to each have their own room. The hosts provided the minimum consumables such as toilet paper for our arrival, but we were expected to supply whatever we needed when that initial supply ran out. We needed get our own personal items such bar soap for the shower and tissues. We were asked to have all dishes and kitchen items put away before we left. Our visit was similar in staying in a guest house, rather than a hotel, where we were asked to make as little work as possible for the host.
We were visiting family in Ashtead and this cottage worked out very well for us, and we appreciated our opportunity to stay in this cottage. Ashtead is a lovely quiet town close to London and a lovely place to visit.

Clean and tidy cottage
We enjoyed the newness and the quality furnishings etc. It was comfortable and well equipped and the owner was pleasant to deal with. Wifi could have used a boost, and we would have liked to know that it was a semi-detached house as we felt we had to keep the kids quiet which wasn’t ideal.

Charming Cottage
Sarah is such a welcoming and accommodating host. She has an easy smile, a warm setting and attention to detail that really made the experience so smooth and enjoyable. The house is impeccably put together. Carpet is so soft your feet sink in and the sofa just makes you want to live there. Beautiful setting, brand new, crisp linens and power shower. This property is a real find. Thank you for all your kindness and care x
