They interact with all their visitors and encourage interaction amongst the visitors, which made our stay more like a home away from home.

Small town - Not a lot of things to do but a nice park n a lake within walking distance of the (one) commercial street. Looks safe. You can see many people exercising in the early morning or walking their dogs. Relaxing.

What an amazing village/town. Really pretty and fantastic shops. Planning to come back at Christmas to do all my gift shopping. I'm a charity shop fiend and bought the most amazing items - stool, belt, mans shirt and a silver designer dress suit. Amazing walks around the village and such friendly folk!

On the site of it's advertisement it's got picture of a full English breakfast . And states very good breakfast included ! The day we set off we got an email to say no full English breakfast . This should have been stated on the site before booking . You could not turn heating off so when opened windows you could here everyone drunk and stunk of smoke . I suffer from real bad anxiety and would not dare go and raise the issues . This was making me Ill . I asked for room to be cleaned 2 days in to our stay and our bedding wasnt changed and bins were still full . Nearly broke my back on the one way system as carpets are all same colour and the step has no warning so that hurt a bit as you can't make it out . The carpets on stairs were pitted with muck and stains and felt dirty .

We only spent one evening in the village, but it felt very far from the "commuter Essex" we have known closer to London. Neither did it feel as close to Stansted Airport as one might have expected. No particular tourist sights or attractions, but Great Dunmow (and perhaps the Saracen's Head) might be a good base from which to see other sights, deeper into Essex and Suffolk.
