The Glen Guest House 1-bedroom guest house with free parking

Fyfield

19 km from Chelmsford Train Station in Fyfield, The Glen Guest House 1-bedroom guest house with free parking provides accommodation with access to a sauna and hot tub. It is located 22 km from Stansted Mountfitchet Station and offers private check-in and check-out. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. Stayed for 2 nights 21 to 23 September What's there not to like? My stay was exceptional. The place itself has a cottage like vibe. It has everything you need and the decor, features etc is very high spec. Fully equipped kitchen, fridge, microwave etc. A TV with "proper" channels including netflix, very comfortable indeed. Lesley is on hand to answer and help with any questions or queries about the area and things to do. Plus they also offer a very reasonable, very flexible taxi service. Tiptop!!! The cottage is warm and cosy. It is set back in an area surrounded by beautiful green land and in a garden with lovely garden furniture and ample seating areas. It really has the best backdrop. There is also a fully equipped gym which I had the opportunity to use, very considerate to open it up for guests. The hosts have thought about everything you may need for a comfortable getaway. They were brilliant hosts, Lesley and Pat, their welcome was more like going to stay with friends for the weekend! The nicest people you would ever want to meet, hands on, making sure you're comfortable, super pleasant, engaging and just really really nice folks. I highly recommend the Glen Adorable... the name says it all!

Seaview B&B 4 stars

Harwich

Boasting a garden and views of sea, Seaview B&B is a recently renovated bed and breakfast set in Harwich, 26 km from Flatford. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The accommodation offers a housekeeping service and private check-in and check-out for guests. We were absolutely stunned by the perfection of the room. Clearly its quality level far exceeds its price range. It almost felt as coming home. We saw this as a simple solution to sleep before catching the ferry, but we already decided to return and stay a couple of days more. I really would recommend.
