Ongar Chipping Ongar Library Hotels

"Reception staff were excellent. Room was well appointed and the bathroom very clean. Bar and wait staff were very pleasant and courteous but in need of further training."

"From my arrival to my departure, this stay was excellent. Every member of staff I encountered was friendly, informative, professional and welcoming. The room was spotless and had everything I needed. The location of the hotel is excellent, and the receptionist recommended a couple of places to visit. I will definitely use this hotel again"

"10 pound for carpark kills it"

"Very welcoming and friendly staff. Offered us a welcome drink which was lovely and we could use our rooms to drop our items as they had already been cleaned which was very helpful as we were in the area for a wedding. The amenities and room were great and bed was very comfortable. We were told that there would be live music until 11.30 and drinks available downstairs in the bar until 1pm but weren’t made aware of the loud music that would be playing which did continue until 1:30pm - we were staying on a Saturday night so am sure this wouldn’t be the case if staying on other days. We arrived back late from the wedding anyway but I wish we had been aware of this prior to booking as I had to stay awake for a good hour until the music was turned off. I would recommend staying here but if you don’t want to be involved in the late night music, it would be best to stay here outside of Friday and Saturday night. "

"Great location. Beautiful gardens "

"Bramley cottage is a recently-built (2022) bespoke 1-bed single-storey cottage ideal for a couple, and is very dog-friendly. From the cottage, there is a pleasing outlook over the orchard, the plums were in-season and being picked by visitors to the site, which now includes a cafe. The cottage is near the far end of the estate (furthest from Ashlyns Lane, and visible on Google Maps), so were were never disturbed, its a wonderfully peaceful place. We had a great time here, helped by good weather. The condition of the cottage was superb. There was plenty of space for us and our dog, a comfy sofa, excellent shower, and all the mod-cons you need in the kitchen area.Our dog was well-looked after too with treats being left for them, the whole garden being fenced in (very small dogs might be able to escape). Nice outdoor furniture. My only suggestion for improvement to complete the luxury feel would be an upgrade to King or super-king bed, with fine cotton sheets, although the existing is certainly adequate.We will certainly be visiting again in future - we were visiting family and it was very close-by and convenient for us. For anyone with reservations about the look of property - we had initially thought from the pictures that it was a 'disguised' mobile-home, but it is not, it is a properly built, solid, and desirable property. I would happily own it as a second-home.James (who was helpful and pleasant, but not obtrusive at all) and the family should be congratulated on such a lovely property.Finally, a quick note for any particularly "large" people considering staying - you might find the toilet positioned too-close to the side wall for your comfort."

"My husband and I recently stayed at Russets at the Bloomfield Fruit Farm in Chipping Ongar with our dog and had an exceptional experience. The location is quiet and tranquil, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The accommodation itself was lovely. It was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and renovated, more spacious than expected, and it had everything we needed. James, the host and owner, was generous and kind, leaving us a thoughtful welcome gift of Prosecco when he learned we were newlyweds.James also noticed we were having car trouble and offered his assistance. He turned out to be a knowledgeable car electronics technician and took time out of his day to help us diagnose the issue, which was incredibly helpful.Additionally, James treated us to a lovely cappuccino, showcasing his skills as an experienced barista, as they were about to open a cafe on the farm. The hospitality was impressive, and I highly recommend staying here."

"Excellent stay in luxury Shepherds Hut with all you could need. Sorry we didnt get to use the log burner, but we were out every night at the excellent pub restaurants near by. Thank you."

"Nice home and clean. Owner was good help and very nice too."
