Gorgeous little cottage in a peaceful environment. Spotlessly clean, and full of delightful surprises. The breakfast is ready in the kitchen, which was a wonderful solution, when had to leave at early hours to catch plane. 20 minutes from Stansted airport, it was a very convenient location.

The lock box worked very well. I was unsure that I was at the correct front door: a sign near the door with the cottage name would have been helpful.

Paradise in the countryside. Lovely accommodation in converted stables. Great find for last minute short stay. Awesome hosts who really welcomed us and made our stay. Dinner and sightseeing recommendations were great. Really wish we could have stayed longer.

I was looking for an accomodation during my work trip in Witham and since I arrived at Oakwrights I felt at home. Lorna and Noel are lovely persons and the tiny home they offer is an authentic jewel, surrounded by Essex's country, with the full possibility to relax walking through the countryside (like I did on Sunday). The house has all the amenities, including a very well equipped kitchen, a dishwasher and a washing machine and grants you a peaceful stay.

It had just what we needed. Two beds for us to stay in the night before we flew out from Stansted. The toilet/shower/kitchen are all shared but were clean

It really is home from home. Spacious, comfortabla and well equipped. Loved all the little extras, especially in the kitchen. Breakfast cereal, bread, milk, cakes, cold drinks in the fridge, to name a few. Bed is very comfortable. Set in a delightful village and close to Saffron Walden. Our main reason to stay was to visit Audley House and Gardens, which is well worth a visit. Owners live next door so on hand if need anything. Would certainly stay again if back in this area.

The location was great, and the house had some lovely features. We especially enjoyed the coffee machine, the little table in the kitchen, the eco- friendly products and hope to stay again.

The hosts were very helpful when I contacted them. The cottage must have an interesting history. It was very clean and smelt fresh on arrival. The kitchen was small but well equipped and we found the washing machine useful. The beds were comfortable and all the linen delightfully fresh. It suited our needs for our visit to this part of the country.

Just like the name this is a lovely place. Communication from the owner was very good. The caravan instructions were clear for keys, WiFi and any queries (we had none). The caravan is clean with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The beds are comfy. The shower is powerful and spacious with plenty hot water. The caravan is in a good location close to all amenities but tucked away and private on a back row so not lots of people walking past. The site is excellent and staff are friendly and helpful.
