Charming village location (particularly on a sunny day). Breakfast is very good and good value. Walkable distance to the nearest pub/restaurant. Low ceilings and smallish doors may prove a challenge in some rooms if you have mobility issues. I didn’t notice any aircraft noise (it’s close to stanstead airport).

This is a charming cottage style property. It is in a beautiful village setting (particularly on a sunny day). The ceilings are low and some of the doors are small so some of the rooms may not be ideal if you have mobility issues.

The property was covenient for airport location and quiet. parking required a bit of manoeuvring around the parking spaces - a bit hands off in terms of check out ( lock the door and drop key through letter box) - room bedding quality good

Great stay although bathroom shower needs improved

The stay overall was very pleasant. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfy. The bathroom was a slight downside however as it had a very sloped ceiling and there was a large step down into it which was troublesome at nighttime. If you were any taller than 5,2, then the bathroom would be a struggle as the ceiling was also sloped over the shower. The shower needs updating as the water pressure is very poor. But overall, I really enjoyed my stay and the host was very lovely and her breakfast was delicious in the morning.

Check in is very restricted

If for your personal reasons you need to operate the most restrictive check-in times I have ever come across please at least headline them for when people are deciding whether or not to book, especially if your journey might be delayed. I arrived at latest possible arrival time (9.30pm) but took a few minutes to get to park & get to the front door. Excellent price. Parking good. Wi-Fi good. Lovely quiet area. Easy to find. Great looking building, lots of charm inside. Uncomfortable bed and the shower controls were nigh on impossible & the flow was sadly little more than a trickle.
