    The hosts were very gracious and charming. Home made bread and jams for breakfast were a delight. Quiet setting with lovely gardens.

    Nothing really, our hosts were friendly but quite elderly and I felt a little uncomfortable having them serve us breakfast when really they deserved being served breakfast by me instead.

    Upgraded to twin room with en-suite with no fuss, shower was good and twin room was enormous.

    Location somewhat off beaten track - literally. Gate has to be opened. Remember to shut it to keep dog in and deer out. Bathroom tiny.

    Breakfast was good. The farm is a lovely 1600's building with characterful period furniture. Host and hostess were wonderful. Bedroom was spacious with period fireplace.

    Not ideal to have to share a bathroom when elderly and getting up frequently during the night! Not easy to be sufficiently quiet to avoid disturbing other guests.

    Excellent breakfast, comfortable room, welcoming hosts. Amazing house, huge oak beams, full of fascinating items. Beautiful gardens. Lovely countryside full of birds and animals.

    The negative reviews, putting people off visiting well loved family home

    Amazing place to stay, beautiful, quaint, full of family history, the hosts were fabulous, friendly, welcoming to their and old home. This place is not for the whitewashed perfect modern house. It is absolutely beautiful and has an abundance of history the building and garden are stunning. Thank you for sharing your home with people wanting to stay ❤️ home cooked breakfast went down a treat

    I didn't have enough time to explore and have breakfast. X

    The house is very rustic which l liked , but unfortunately it was a temporary stop before travelling on to Stansted Airport. The host was very lovely. If l needed a stop off again l would chose this place. It is good value for money.

    I travelled quite a distance to stay here for a peaceful night in the country. Unfortunately when I arrived, the property was locked up and nobody was present. Waited two hours - could not get hold of owner on telephone after repeated calls. Had to find another place at short notice. Bumped into owner as I was leaving and they were arriving. Apparently a medical appointment with which I sympathise but still - why accept bookings then. Scant apology. They offered to get room ready if I waited but I had already committed to another place. My evening appointments ruined, needed to find expensive alternative accommodation 20 miles away and unnecessary stress. Disaster for me

    A very old & beautiful farmhouse bed & breakfas. - I imagine many tourists would be bewitched.

    I happen to be very tall, and the antique bed (in their smallest room) was a little too short for me. I think most people would have had no issue with it, as it was otherwise comfortable. The fried breakfast was very tasty indeed but a little oily to how I generally cook - its a subjective thing. As I was the only guest staying that overnight, I was all alone for morning breakfast and the host had her family visiting, so I felt unattended. I would have liked a couple of extra slices of that extra toast to sample her jam-preserves. The family was very nice though and they came out to see my old Triumph motor-car when I left. Just by way of advice ; dine before you check in. I visited on a Sunday, overnight to bank-holiday Monday. I found the x3 local pubs each stopped serving food early on Sunday evening. This wonderful country farmhouse location is a fair way to a sizeable town for a meal.

    A very old and beautiful farmhouse bed & breakfast. Wonderfully quiet away from any busy road. With its beautiful garden, and fascinating interior decor - I imagine many tourists would be bewitched with the Englishness. The stay was good value and the English fired breakfast with home-made granary bread was very tasty indeed. Home made jam preserves too ! - just what I needed for a day out at an Medieval jousting festival weekend at conveniently-nearby Hedingham Castle. I travel by classic open-top car to these events, and so it was great to know the car was secure, parked overnight in their gated garden away from any passers by (always a little worrying when parked in a strange town's restaurant or hotel car-park).

    couldn’t get a cab as quite rural but that’s obviously not the owner’s fault
