Escape the rat race

It is a very cosy , good sized cottage situated in a lovely quiet hamlet with a choice of country walks from the door. It was convenient for exploring the coast and moors and other places of interest. We enjoyed our stay but the courtyard area really needs updating

Special Birthday

The Old Malthouse had everything you could ask for. Having the woodburner a light made it even more special. The Notley Arms is a must for food and drink. You will need to phone to make sure they are open, but it is worth the wait. Would I book the cottage again......YES I WOULD.

Family get together

Lovely building and nice place to stay. Surroundings lovely and peaceful. The cleanliness was not great, kitchen looked clean but on closer inspection was dirty for example i used a wipe to wipe the kitchen top and it was a dirty brown colour, the kettle had not been emptied and there was a puddle of water in the bottom of the fridge. The bin in the bathroom had not been emptied. Having said all of this once we had cleaned the kitchen, we had a lovely holiday and the beds were comfortable.

Second time there...just great. If I have one very miniscule gripe it would be to provide more wood for the first night not three logs in total, but it is minor like I mentioned. Will stay again for sure.

Really enjoyed our stay,so peaceful and relaxing. We were out every day and the weather was really kind to us considering it was January. The notley arms pub was literally a 30 second walk away which served great food,and Caroline and Simon were great hosts. On the whole was a lovely location and cottage. Would love to know a bit more history about the cottage and village.
