After a very long day of travelling, we arrived a few hours before the 4.30pm check in. The host made it very clear we were in the wrong arriving early as she had a group of friends she was entertaining. She offered us a key but said to come back after 4.30pm. She needed to get back to her friends and had no time to show us to our room. We were not offered the chance to wait in the empty reception area or offered light refreshment but ushered outside in 32° heat to wait on the roadside. She rudely closed the door behind. This action made us feel extremely unwelcome. After 15 minutes and no idea where to get help to get out of the heat, we knocked and asked her to ring a taxi. We left to find alternative accommodation.

This is an absolute find. This cottage has history oozing from its walls. You step through the door and turn left and step into the past. A beautiful oak panelled 'lounge'. We walked through the maze of corridors and up the our spacious dual aspect room - gorgeous. The garden needs to be explored.....along the back of the verdant garden you'll meet the 'ladies' whose eggs grace your Full English breakfast plate. The gothic windows are obvious clues to the back story of this former rectory. Perfectly located to visit London or local places of interest or the perfect stop over when flying out of the nearby Stansted airport. No need to stay in a soulless 'box' when you can enhance your time away by enjoying the home comforts offered by The Cottage. Wonderful place, we'll definitely return.

Absolutely FREEZING. It’s December, and was a balmy 4C last night, and the room and entire house was so cold I ended up having to get into bed at 6:50pm just to avoid trembling with cold. There was a hot water bottle already in the bed, so the staff are clearly aware of this problem. I had the radiator on its highest setting all night and in the morning the room was so cold even the carpeted floor was nearly too cold to stand on. The shower pressure was poor and again kept running to cold. The only reasons for the two stars of this review are the politeness of the staff - despite not being able to do anything about the temperature - and the comfortable bed. However do note that the bed was extremely short - I am 5’4” and my feet were off the end. I would not recommend anyone with children, or anyone elderly, or anyone who feels the cold stay here as it was incredibly uncomfortable.

We had a lovely stay here for two nights. Warm welcome from the host. The room was spotlessly clean. Comfy bed with two good night’s sleep. Plenty to eat for breakfast with a choice of fruit and cereal. Also included are Croissant’s and toast with homemade preserves.

Needed overnight accommodation while dropping student at London university over the Queens funeral weekend. London hotels jacked price up on a daily basis, week prior to date we needed. Found this gem 40 minutes from Stratford. Pre-planned to arrive late. Lovely cottage and warm welcome. Room was perfect. Nice comfortable bed. Very quiet. Full English Breakfast was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

What can I say except you definitely won't be disappointed if you stay here! I couldn't find anything to fault. The guest house is very clean & breakfast is 1st class. I was in room 10 at the very top & can say it was well looked after. Towels were soft & plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable too. The hosts were friendly & couldn't do enough for you. I used Associated Taxis during my 3 night stay & they were either early or on time & even have their own app so you don't have to ring them if you don't want to. Perfect location for those visiting Arthur Findlay College. There is a nice pub 15 mins walk from the Guest house called Three Willows.
