The room was very clean upon arrival and spacious. The bathroom was practical with the shower and had all of the amenities required. There was a TV and wifi signal was good which was important for me to carry out my work. The bed was huge and very comfortable. In the morning breakfast was very good with a cooked english breakfast as well as cereal options with coffee brought to the table and fresh orange juice available too providing a great start to the day in a beautiful room within a picturesque setting.

Being an older building the sound insulation wasn't great meaning there was some sound transference which did disturb me at times and I really struggled with the door lock. These were minimal though and didn't effect the nice stay I had very much.

I like the area nice and quiet, with a lovely garden the view from my room was the best,the place is so so clean with a very comfortable bed. It was easy to find.

The welcoming wasn't very good, the stuff was a bit 😕 I booked the place for myself, a friend who lives in the neighbourhood dropped me but the stuff was mean to him thinking he was going to sleep there,even when I explained that he just dropped me and helping me with my luggage upstairs. She was looking at my passport as if she didn't believe it was me,like who will just turn up like that? But it the morning she was a bit okay asking me how the night was.

It seemed amazing but I came in the dark and left in the dark early morning

Reception closing at 9:30 pm meant I had an incredibly stressed bus ride from stansted airport to get there in time as I booked late. When I arrived however my host was very accomodating given I was a last minute booking and changed my room to accomodate my large suitcase not needing stairs she went above and beyond to order a taxi and process my arrival and departure. It was excellent service. She also stayed in the line to help me find the right bus in time. Without her help I could not have arrived from my very delayed flight in time nor could I have arrived for my next 7 am flight in time .. excellent service

The property was in a lovely location, set back from the lane so you couldn’t hear any passing traffic. Beautiful garden and trees around the property. Breakfast was plentiful, nothing unthought of.

First view from outside you may think it wasn’t a very well kept place but actually it was spotless and beautiful. The property has history and once you step indoors you actually realise the detail and high level of upkeep taken. Hairdryer not in the room, but easily obtainable, I just didn’t realise when I entered property. Maybe a conversation at the beginning as it could have been an issue if I had needed to get ready to go out quickly.

Interesting old house sympathetically converted into a pleasant guest house. The antidote to bland travel inns! Friendly and welcoming host. My room, traditionally furnished, was comfortably large enough for an easy stay of three nights. Good bathroom with powerful shower. Everything spotlessly clean and the daily housekeeping was excellent. Good breakfast. Easy parking. If you have an electric car then the Tesla and Applegreen charging station at Birchanger Green is just a couple of miles away - I used it twice.

The weather. I would have liked to explore the garden which must be delightful in summer. Some people may dislike the stairs and passageways of this old house but I enjoyed weaving my way to a room at the top.

Location is beautiful and peaceful. Rooms are extremely clean which I love. There wasn’t a speck of dust or dirt anywhere, excellent. Fantastic location for Stanstead Airport. Took us eight minutes to get there.

Don’t like cushions on pillows. They are not washed as regularly as pillowcases so not a nice feeling to have unwashed cushions on pillow cases. Curtains were not blackout whatsoever so the room was very bright from about 4 am. I’d recommend putting a blackout blind in as option for guests to use as well as curtains.

A very clean, well-run establishment. The bed was massive & very comfortable. We found the hosts to be pleasant and helpful, & the breakfasts were delicious. We would recommend The Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

There is a bit of an issue with the water system. It's noisy, & the pressure is weak in the shower if someone else is showering. We also had problems with water temperature in the shower - at one point we couldn't turn it down.

Warm welcome, great location- so so much nicer than an airport hotel as situated in a little village so could walk out and through the countryside. And the gardens here beautiful too making it a very restful place. The room was spotless and very comfortable and so quiet. ( no door banging through night!). Would definitely stay here again for a Stansted early start

Nothing

Super clean, lovely staff and so peaceful. Yoghurt and berries with fresh fruit and cereals great at breakfast before the hot food. Very comfy bed

Larger cups would be good and the little details like a nozzle for the hairdryer. Would be good to invest in a coffee machine for espresso etc for breakfast. Nit picking really

Check in was very straight forward. The location and property were beautiful. The rooms were immaculate. I stayed here for one week on work business and my room was cleaned etc every single day. The host was really lovely and I had no issues at all. I would stay here every time I am in the area without a doubt.

Nothing - it was amazing
