The Cottage Guest House

Lovely character Lovely character BnB in stylish property. Chosen for location of a famiky gathering but V near Stanstead too. Lovely and helpful host and great freshly cooked breakfast.

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.

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.
