The rural setting felt SERENE. The host was attentive and cute, I found easy parking. The accommodation was very very comfy and tidy, I stayed in no. 2, and it felt AMAZING. A welcome pack included cereal, croissants, milk, orange juice, and whole grain bread.
The breakfast was limited, and there was a cafeteria but no coffee available. Instant coffee was the only option.

Quiet Rural Stay Near Saffron Walden

clean accommodation attentive host easy parking well-designed unit
I appreciated the clean, comfortable accommodations I received. Emma was very attentive. she welcomed me warmly at reception. There was easy parking available for my car on arrival. the unit was well-designed, a nice touch.
Breakfast was basic, a set of pre-packaged goods. It could have been more diverse, in my opinion.
Rooms

The double room featured a comfortable bed and spotlessly clean surfaces. The design was great. I think the amenities were well kept and sufficient for a short stay.
