    Only negative was the very tight stairs , but that's the nature of the building.

    Nice little cottage in great location, nice welcome pack of milk and biscuits.

    Braybrooke is a lovely property with a brilliant location. The facilities were absolutely fantastic, with modern fixtures and fittings for all key areas (e.g. bathroom, kitchen). I had high expectations and this stay comfortably exceeded them because of the care directed towards preparing and maintaining the house. It's cosy, clean and complete with everything you'd need.

    All good.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy walk into town and short walk to parking. Stairs quite steep for those less able but it is an old cottage so to be expected. Nikki very responsive and quick to answer/resolve questions or issues. Would recommend.

    mattress a little bit soft, but that could just be a personal preference. Parking is obviously a problem in Saffron Walden so a couple of tips about where to leave the car would have been super useful

    lovely neat and clean cottage - with a great shower. Host kindly left breakfast basics and snacks for us. Obviously newly renovated with great up keep.

    No negatives.

    Self-catering but coffee, tea and milk kindly provided, along with some foodie treats which were very welcome. Charming cottage, excellent central location in a beautiful town. As we stayed at the weekend, free parking was available in the council offices nearby. Great communication from host Nikki.

    No complaints. Steep internal stairs. No problem for us, but may not suit all.

    Very close to town. Lovely, comfortable property. Ample parking at the Council offices nearby, though I am told that this is only at weekends. Great communication with host and easy check-in and out. Lovely, comfortable bedrooms.

    checking in was a horrible experience, i waited an hour outside the cottage and called the owner multiple times but i didn’t get an answer about checking in. i had to contact booking.com to sort the issue. I almost left the town because of this issue. the owner didn’t offer any kind of consolation either for this incident the house has small flying insects because of the garden

    the house is really beautiful and very well maintained.

    it didn’t bother us, but the stairs are very steep so other guests should be aware.

    clean, comfortable and cosy cottage with plush beds and a beautiful garden. bright kitchen/diner and beautiful bathroom with amazing shower. great location and faultless hosts. perfect base from which to explore Saffron Walden.
