May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming house Our family of 5 adults, 2 children and our cockapoo stayed at Spring Cottage for 2 nights. The house is delightful with low beams and ceilings and nicely furnished. Communication with Loraine was excellent. Lovely enclosed garden. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend. ##### Angela P. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### C E. Dec 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lovely weekend in a character-filled cottage ##### C E. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveler Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ruined trip Not very good at all. The house is advertised as 5 bedrooms, it isn’t. It is a 3 bedroom house that has single beds placed in rooms off the bedrooms ( totally impractical if you are not all family) and even then not ideal. I chose the property based on location and primary information given. Internet was useless, absolutely zero phone signal. Do not book if you actually looking for more than 3 bedrooms. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Sunny detached bungalow with private courtyard](https://www.expedia.com/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-Sunny-Detached-Bungalow-With-Private-Courtyard.h73666003.Hotel-Information) - [Set on 8-acres, with wild deer roaming around.](https://www.expedia.com/Brentwood-Hotels-3-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Brentwood.h99141376.Hotel-Information) - [Icon Brentwood City Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Brentwood-Hotels-Icon-Brentwood-City-Apartment.h57266521.Hotel-Information) - [Garland Modern Spacious Apartment, Brentwood 2 With Private Entrance & Parking](https://www.expedia.com/Brentwood-Hotels-New-Spacious-Apartment-With-Garden.h55332620.Hotel-Information) - [Luxury Grade 2 Listed Large Tudor Manor in Essex](https://www.expedia.com/Dunmow-Hotels-Luxury-Grade-2-Listed-Large-Tudor-Manor-In-Essex.h90694723.Hotel-Information) - [Unique Narrowboat Experience in Town Centre Chelmsford Essex create memories](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Unique-Narrowboat-Experience-In-Town-Centre-Chelmsford-Essex-Create-Memories.h107297821.Hotel-Information) - [Chelmsford Service Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Chelmsford-Service-Apartment.h33351100.Hotel-Information) - [Sapphire Serviced Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Sapphire-Serviced-Apartment.h44241225.Hotel-Information) - [Victoria's place](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Victorias-Place.h39537764.Hotel-Information) - [Rough Hill House](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Rough-Hill-House.h114093769.Hotel-Information) - [Canaan Apartments chelmsford](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Canaan-Apartments-Chelmsford.h33773052.Hotel-Information) - [The Art House by Sorted Stay](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-The-Art-House.h94892865.Hotel-Information) - [Chelmsford Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Chelmsford-Serviced-Apartments.h11899240.Hotel-Information) - [Victoria Crescent](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Victoria-Crescent.h21340583.Hotel-Information) - [Grand Springs, 2 Bed Apartment In City Centre, Stone's Throw To Station](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Grand-Springs.h21633152.Hotel-Information) - [Parkway House](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Friars-House.h74149435.Hotel-Information) - [Fortified Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Chelmsford-Hotels-Fortified-Apartment.h23660609.Hotel-Information) - [Luxury 2 bed central Chelmsford apartment.
