Little Bardfield · 整套乡村小屋 · 4室4床3.0卫 · 可住8人 · Old Cottage - English Countryside Retreat
A 4 bedroom Grade II Listed cottage located in a small rural hamlet in the Essex countryside, perfect for relaxing with family and friends. This home has plenty of character with exposed beams throughout and a large fireplace, perfect for those colder winter nights. Outside, there is a large garden and a paved terrace making this the perfect space for summer evenings. Make the most of the local walking and bike routes with picturesque views or take a drive to visit one of the local villages. This cottage is set in the Essex countryside, just outside of the nearby village of Great Bardfield and sleeps a total of 8 guests. Inside you will find a cosy living area, a modern kitchen, dining room and a shower room. There is a concealed stairway off of the living area which leads to a double bedroom along with a small dressing area. The main staircase leads up to the master bedroom complete with en-suite, 2 double bedrooms and a family bathroom that is complete with a freestanding bath. The cottage keeps many traditional features with a modern twist. Please be aware that this includes low ceilings in some rooms of the property. The master bedroom has vaulted ceilings as well as a large floor to ceiling triangular window with uninterrupted views across the open countryside. The kitchen features a large central island and a cream coloured Aga along with integrated twin ovens and an electric hob. Please note that the Aga is for aesthetics only.
We cannot fault the stunning views and location of the property and Russel as a host was very responsive. The beds were comfortable and the property was the perfect size for 4 couples, with plenty of chill out and dining space. We loved hanging in the kitchen and making use of the hot tub! Unfortunately the cleanliness of the property was not acceptable and not all amenities were available as advertised (e.g. no use of the aga). We were grateful for Russell to arrange for the housekeeper to remake all the beds but the property should have been prepared before our arrival and there were other items such as sand in the bath, dead bugs on the floor in the bathrooms. We also needed to request for the BBQ to be cleaned as it was covered in bird poo, and despite being advertised in the listing, there was only 1 BBQ skewer and no charcoal. The only shower was also not effective.
We absolutely loved our stat at the Old Cottage. The house and the surroundings are beautiful and we felt right at home. The hot tub was a great bonus and we spend a fair bit of time in there. Everything was super clean and the house had everything you would need from well equipped kitchen to board games. We are already looking at when we can come back for another weekend!
We had an amazing stay in this beautiful cottage! Beautiful setting and incredibly peaceful
Fantastic stay, responsive host and beautiful surroundings - already discussing another visit!
