Gorgeous location in quiet rural countryside but still very close to town and a supermarket, either to drive or walk to. A large garden area to explore, and for little ones to run around. We enjoyed the fruit trees in the garden. Lovely big kitchen with plenty of space around the table for everyone. Plenty of room around the house to relax and play. We liked that there were board/card games and children's toys, they were fun and helped the place feel homely. Also a smart TV with Netflix etc. Everything was very clean and well cared for. House was well equipped and we had everything we needed. Olly, and Mirek (who we met) were very helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Comfy bedrooms, the location was quiet and we all slept well. There was a larger than average travel cot which was great for our little one. A historical, traditional feel to the house, yet all modern conveniences - exactly what you'd expect and hope for from an old English country manor. We loved the nearby steam railway which was great for children. Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to family groups.

The entrance door is well camouflaged in the brown wall next to the driveway. Keep an eye out for the low doorway at the dairy entrance, and several low ceilings and uneven floors around the house. It's part of the historical feel but you need to be careful not to bump your head. Having the Aga stove on all the time made it very warm in the kitchen. Would be great in winter but less so during a hot summer. We just opened the windows though which helped. The view from the windows at the front of the building towards farm equipment was less nice than the other three views. (The other views were absolutely gorgeous though, so it's relative!) We would have liked to be able to check out at 11am instead of 10am.

location, size excellent for big groups, clean, good communication from host.

It’s a lovely house with everything you could need for a largish get together. The grounds are also great for a stroll a game of badminton or croquet. we had a super time.

The only thing we struggled with was local transport. There were no taxis available at all, so make sure you book them in advance if you need to.

Beautiful house of character and lovely garden

Nothing to fault here.

Great house, perfect for a large family. The house is quirky, which we love, the garden and grounds really fantastic - a rural location a few minutes drive from Saffron Walden.

The key of the door opening to the patio area is difficult to turn to open.

It was amazing and super fun to spend time in with family. We were amazed by all of the land and the property. Really enjoyed our stay 😁

Nothing- it was all exceptional

The House was amazing, a warren of different rooms and so much space! The garden was also great and the kids loved the swing. Facilities were all good and the house was clean and tidy. It is walking distance to Saffron Walden, but a good 45mins to an hour.
