Gorgeous little cottage in a peaceful environment. Spotlessly clean, and full of delightful surprises. The breakfast is ready in the kitchen, which was a wonderful solution, when had to leave at early hours to catch plane. 20 minutes from Stansted airport, it was a very convenient location.

This was a very last minute booking as I had a four and a half delay on my flight which meant I was basically stranded on my own at Stansted. I booked this as I was going through passport control. I called the property immediately and they picked me up from the airport late at night and took me back to the airport very early the next morning (£14 return). I was extremely grateful for their kindness in a situation where I was very stressed and tired. They also offered to make me a sandwich! The room was beautiful with attention to detail.

Breakfast was very good, the tables weren't great as the stools seemed a little low. Big long shared tables, not ideal. Great location so close to the airport.

Very peaceful quiet location,when we opened the door there was a lovely fragrance and it was very clean,the room was small but comfortable for two people but not for tall or big persons,the location is good as the shops are 5 minutes drive and Clacton-on-Sea is about 10 minutes,meet the lovely host Julie and her three lovely dogs, dogs are not allowed but she said if you have a small dog she may make an exception you just need to let her know first when you book.
