It had just what we needed. Two beds for us to stay in the night before we flew out from Stansted. The toilet/shower/kitchen are all shared but were clean

It is a nice, clean place with a beautiful view. The beds were comfortable. There is a small kitchen where you can prepare breakfast and eat while enjoying the view of sea. Everything was prepared for our arrival and check-in went smoothly. We would definitely recommend this place.

Loved the secure environment for self and car, secure gate into car park, and secure door entry system into the building. Presentation of studio apartment was brilliant with good size kitchen, 2 comfy stylish chairs, balcony, great bathroom with excellent shower and smart bedroom sliding doors which gave it a creative feel plus bed, pillows and duvet comfy. Excellent stay and have booked to go back.

It really is home from home. Spacious, comfortabla and well equipped. Loved all the little extras, especially in the kitchen. Breakfast cereal, bread, milk, cakes, cold drinks in the fridge, to name a few. Bed is very comfortable. Set in a delightful village and close to Saffron Walden. Our main reason to stay was to visit Audley House and Gardens, which is well worth a visit. Owners live next door so on hand if need anything. Would certainly stay again if back in this area.

The location was great, and the house had some lovely features. We especially enjoyed the coffee machine, the little table in the kitchen, the eco- friendly products and hope to stay again.

The hosts were very helpful when I contacted them. The cottage must have an interesting history. It was very clean and smelt fresh on arrival. The kitchen was small but well equipped and we found the washing machine useful. The beds were comfortable and all the linen delightfully fresh. It suited our needs for our visit to this part of the country.

Just like the name this is a lovely place. Communication from the owner was very good. The caravan instructions were clear for keys, WiFi and any queries (we had none). The caravan is clean with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The beds are comfy. The shower is powerful and spacious with plenty hot water. The caravan is in a good location close to all amenities but tucked away and private on a back row so not lots of people walking past. The site is excellent and staff are friendly and helpful.
