Old Thatch Bambers Green 4 stars

Takeley

Set in Takeley and with Hatfield Forest reachable within 5 km, Old Thatch Bambers Green offers express check-in and check-out, allergy-free rooms, free bikes, free WiFi and a garden. The accommodation features luggage storage space. This is a charming place, very quiet and beautiful. There were other guest there but we never heard anyone. The room is peaceful and clean. We stayed here on our anniversary, and our host's husband was kind enough to give us a ride to the nearby pub for dinner- we really appreciated that. Sadly we didn't get to stay long because of a really early flight- wish we'd been able to enjoy this place longer.
