    We had a very nice stay, but better communication and response to feedback would have improved it.

    There were a few issues - some very minor, some larger: Issue with Blatches Farm - No soap tray or shelf in shower, so had to put things on the floor - The towels were nice, but too small for showering - No hooks to put your coat on - No electric toothbrush socket - Shower not for tall people - could have been set higher up - Wifi OK but patchy - The duvet was a little thin - but a blanket was provided when I asked - Netflix etc didn't work in my sons' room. I raised this and was told they didn't really know how to work the TVs, and that it might be to do with Wifi but they didn't really know. I didn't sense they really tried to sort out the issue as they didn't mention it again, and I was a bit unsatisfied with the response. I tried fiddling with the settings myself but without success. - There was a power cut in the evening one night. It wasn’t a major issue since we didn’t mind calling it an early night, but there was no communication, and I was unable to reach the hosts by knocking on the farmhouse door (and it was raining heavily), via the Bookings.com contact button or by phone (I left a message). I didn’t mention it the next day since it sounded like they’d had a hard night, but I was surprised nothing was mentioned, and I do wonder whether any of the messages got though.

    The farm is just a short walk from the Flitch Way, which we really enjoyed walking along. It was lovely staying on a farm, and it was set back from the road so fairly quiet. The room was comfortable and clean, and there was plenty of hot water. The full English breakfast was excellent and the hosts were very friendly. Wifi was available in rooms (though not 100% reliable). Peacocks roam freely on the farm - which my sons really liked.

    We do not feel that there was anything we did not like as it was perfect for what we needed

    We really enjoyed our stay, all staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The location is ideal for travelling around the area and is very quiet and relaxing. The room was excellent, clean and well stocked for the things you need. Parking was ideal as you can park right outside your room and of course the Breakfast was first class, we had no issues and would like to stay again.

    We were not early to breakfast, and while it was served very quickly, the downside was that some items had clearly been standing a while and were not hot. It was our first visit and in the dark, did not see the signs until fourth time of passing. Use the map on the app for directions - we used the postcode and satnav, which was not accurate enough.

    Host was very helpful and everyone was very friendly. Very well located for us, visiting relatives in Great Dunmow, and clearly handy for Stansted airport and various attractions in the area. Accommodation very good for overnight stays.

    There is nothing I did not like but be aware that the exit from main road can be hard to see in the dark and sat nav may not locate this. Also be aware that there is a crematorium on site,.

    I loved the stable block rooms, and the quiet remote location. The hosts were friendly and chatty, but the cat and dogs also were keen to say hello. There is also a pair of peacocks spotted on site. Directly out onto footpaths for walks or early morning runs. Quickly cooked breakfast and another chance to chat to those that work here.

    Right from the moment we got to the Farm, we were met with a warm welcome, the room was lovely, the bed was sooooo comfortable, brilliant, peaceful nights sleep. We got there early evening, there is a little pub down the road that does food, or, local companies do food delivery to your door - who can ask for more Breakfast was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked, wonderful ingredients and loved the setting for breakfast, have serious envy over the pew - really well done

    The uneven ground leading up to the accommodation.

    Quiet, clean and cosy. The owner Liz, was unperturbed by our delayed arrival, very welcoming and friendly. She had already built a rapport with my brother and his wife with whom we were meeting up and this extended to us and continued over the length of our stay. The staff were equally pleasant and welcoming, very chatty and helpful. We felt that they would have done their best to accommodate any reasonable requests.

    A little trick to find. I would suggest you ask Liz for the What 3 Words reference.

    The location. It is in a truly rural location.
