4 Bed in Finchingfield (85662)

LizRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The Old Farmhouse was one of the best equipped Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in. We particularly loved the hot tub and the four ponies/donkeys. Although you can walk around the fields surrounding the house, you have to drive to Finchingfield for food and drink etc. We had a Sainsbury’s supermarket delivery which worked well.

Our second stay here. It’s a really nice place, peaceful, just as described and with charming hosts. The experience with Holiday Cottages was a little impersonal but Peter & Karen, the owners, couldn’t be more attentive.

Loved the accommodation there is a big step from the veranda so be careful it was so nice to get in from a busy day sightseeing and jump in the hot tub.

AndyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Lovely converted modernised farm building with everything you'd need. Great for a weekend getaway from it all. Is it peaceful? Depends on your own view. There were loads of chattering birds, which we loved. But do note, property is located under Stansted airport flightpath but it didn't bother us.

Cosy 2 bed cottage with Pool 20 mins from London

RebeccaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a wonderful stay at Kitchen Hall cottages - the swimming pool made it very special for our 4 year old!! Wendy and Max were very responsive and we appreciated their recommendation to visit The Rainbow and Dove - the food was delicious! We visited Hatfield Forest National Trust for a big walk too - it was lovely and would recommend this.

16th century cottage on historical church grounds

JoRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Lychgate House, it felt like a real home from home. Everything was good and as described and shown in the photos. On top of that the bed was very comfy and it was so quiet at night. Lovely to hear the church bells in the daytime. Marie was a great host, very friendly and helpful.

Old Leigh Cottage

ZoeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We booked the cottage to celebrate Father’s Day for my husband and our 8 year old daughter. We know the area and have friends here so needed somewhere to stay to catch up. The cottage was gorgeous, a home from home very relaxed. I cannot fault Lisa she did everything she could to ensure this stay was exactly what we had hoped for. We will be back for sure!

Cosy Cottage in Rural Setting

TamaraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great hosts, very friendly. Very pretty location, we were able to walk in the large garden and enjoy the views. Cottage was very well equipped, fresh milk, bread and eggs left for us, even supplied tea, coffee and cooking condiments. Soaps and washing powder also supplied. Very comfortable beds, all towels supplied. The only let down was the wifi connection which kept dropping even after resetting the router numerous times. Was also not always able to use 4G as the property was quite remote. Otherwise was lovely, highly recommend their property.

Luxury lodge in Ware

SanjeetaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our second time in Great Amwell and when looking around it was a no brainer that it was going to be Sarah's place - what a lovely couple of days! Sarah is an amazing host, super welcoming, warm and very flexible too. Sarah's place was exactly how we needed it to be - clean, well equipped and it felt like home. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you Sarah for having us :0)

The Lodge at Middiford Barn

GregRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Sarah and Scott are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and welcoming yet valued our privacy. The independent suite was super clean and cozy, and had everything we needed. The property itself is in a rural area, which we appreciated for its peacefulness, but it does require a car.

Little Brook Retreat cozy adorable & romantic.

NicolaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed for 2 nights as we were attending a funeral at Old Park Meadow, just a few minutes drive away. This was a perfect place to return to after a sad day, lovely location by the brook and the surrounding countryside was very pretty. The apartment had everything that we needed, including a cafetière for fresh coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. Great hosts.

Bright modernised cottage with Estuary views

SusanRating, 5 stars5 days ago
I’ve used Airbnb in Leigh on many occasions and can honestly say this is the best. The cottage was immaculate catering for every need. Lovely garden with panoramic sea views. Easy reach of the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. Would definitely choose this cottage every time and highly recommend it. Host Cindy was great too.

Charming Cosy Cottage

AnnmarieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Highly recommend as a base to explore the area. Cosy and quirky cottage, full of character. Spotlessly clean. Parking right outside. Within walking distance of several pubs and restaurants. Hosts were quick to respond and very helpful. Appreciated the little treats left ready for our arrival. Would stay again!
