    The continental breakfast had a lot of prepackaged items. It would have been nice to have some fresh bakery items.

    The B&B was off a little countryside lane. Very quiet. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.

    Continental breakfast could have had more variety and less pre-packaged items.

    Location was brilliant and setting was green and quiet. Des the owner was welcoming, friendly, informative, attentive and flexible on our departure time.

    We were very satisfied with the accommodation being ideal for our requirements. See above we can offer nothing further

    We were travelling to Epping booked by our daughter Stacey to attend a funeral and the position of the hotel and the fact that we could come and go as we pleased was greatly appreciated.

    We would have liked some healthier breakfast options (a couple of herbal tea choices, some natural yoghurt, fresh fruit etc)

    Our host Des was very pleasant and welcoming and the bed very comfortable. Great to have proper blackout blinds too.

    The road was a bit hard to find coming off the main road, it’s set back and not very well signposted so is hard to see.

    The owner Des was very friendly, thorough and welcoming the property was very comfortable and inviting with a good morning view to the front of the house.

    A large faded tea stain on otherwise clean duvet cover & a long dark hair on a cushion wasn't great!

    Good choice in Continental breakfast and quiet location a few miles from Epping Town which has many restaurants & coffee shops.

    Great location, out of town but a short drive in (with lots of parking available in Epping) and close to the motorway. The atmosphere is very relaxed, with the continental breakfast available at any time. Des was really helpful, telling us about the local area and events. He was very friendly and accommodating and really made our stay.

    Being the driver I found it a little difficult to find the entrance in the dark with no obvious sign when arriving from the M11 Harlow junction.

    We were warmly welcomed by the hose, Des, which made us feel comfortable. There was adequate choice of items for breakfast and a proper dining room provided.

    Just a bit more choices for the continental breakfast - e.g bigger variety of cereal choices for healthier options (e.g weetabix, bran flakes, & brown sugar). Suggest cheese is provided in individual small packs, as the normal size packet was left open so the top part of the cheese was hard/dry (perhaps a recent guest). Just friendly tips! No major issues.

    Decent size room, cosy lighting, very clean sheets, bathroom facilities all in good working order, easy access to extra items if needed, e.g extra bath towels. Very friendly & helpful host, who also respected our privacy. Beautiful landscaped garden & decent patio seating.

    Breakfast - everything in packets, croissants, muffins etc and bread so nothing fresh. We went for cooked breakfast which was fine if a little scant. You had to pay extra for filtered coffee which we decided not to do. Location- didn't like M11 was close by and noisy

    Host was helpful in getting an additional type of milk to soya. Lactose free so not non-dairy but I appreciated the effort
