“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous!”

Reviewed 8 Aug 2021

Just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at Pond View apartment with my daughters and our dogs, with my mum also staying in the Field View apartment too. A wonderful location and the accommodation was spotlessly clean, welcoming, comfortable and with everything you could possibly need on holiday. Chris & Eppie we’re the perfect hosts; being very close by should you need any information or help, but never made to feel uncomfortable - we felt more like visiting friends than guests. The shared use of their fabulous garden was heavenly, with ample space for our dogs to safely play with us, enjoy al fresco dining or just relax with a good book and enjoy the tranquility and, luckily for us, some sunshine too! Lovely long & short walks from the door step and ideally placed for visits to Cambridge, Colchester, Saffron Waldron, Imperial War Museum at Duxford, a trip to the coast and all the beautiful surrounding villages in the area. Finchingfield being exceptionally pretty! Would not hesitate to return to stay again, a perfect relaxing stay and with the option to rent both apartments we all had our own space which was perfect! Thank you Chris & Eppie for a fabulous stay, we are very much missing Pond View / Field View already and hope one day to return x
