A warm WELCOME from The Cottage Guest House, Birchanger. We do our very best to ensure that everyone is comfortably accommodated and made most welcome. THE COTTAGE is to be found in the village of Birchanger which lies between a large ancient wood and the farmland of the peaceful Stort Valley. It is a quiet village despite its proximity to Stansted Airport, Bishop's Stortford the M11 and the M25. A friendly guest house with 10 bedrooms ranging from single, double and twin en-suite and only a short journey time of 9 minutes makes it ideal Stansted Airport accommodation with ample off-road parking. Free Wi-Fi.
