"It was okay. I booked via hotels.com but opted to pay later at the hotel. BIG MISTAKE. A £26 Expedia prepayment was taken from my card used to make the booking which I assume was a pre-authorisation payment to make the booking. That was fine, I accept that. The day before I was due to arrive a payment of £267.23 was taken out of my account by oxo-expedia prepayment which should not have happened as I opted to pay AT THE HOTEL. I was also asked to pay the full amount upon arriving at the hotel but thankfully after explaining the situation to the nice lady on reception with evidence of my payment she checked me in. I asked for the invoice on my departure and the amount did not match the charge taken from my account, in addition to hotels.com amount also being incorrect! This is incredibly frustrating as I don't have a correct invoice to claim expenses with the company I work for. I don't blame the hotel entirely I think there's been a degree of miscommunication from hotels.com and the third party Expedia/OYO with payment fees. In future, I will opt to pay in full or avoid any hotel affiliated with OYO or Expedia. Now on to the room review: The room was very spacious with decent utilities and body wash/shampoo/conditioner was provided. The bed was ok but not the most comfortable but the sheets were clean. The air con did not work and the same can be said for the bathroom exhaust fan. There was plenty of towels provided though but no hand soap. Staff were friendly."

"Lovely clean large room and bathroom "

"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."

"Staff were extremely helpful Room was lovely Would definitely stay again"

"Lovely weekend in a character-filled cottage"

"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."
