Old Thatch Bambers Green

Takeley

Set in Takeley and with Hatfield Forest reachable within 5 km, Old Thatch Bambers Green offers express check-in and check-out, allergy-free rooms, free bikes, free WiFi and a garden. The accommodation features luggage storage space.

All guest rooms at the guest house come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with a hairdryer and a shower. When I called the hosts they already knew who was calling and offered to pick me from the airport, which saved my life as the weather was bad. They've also drove me back to the airport on the next day for a reasonable charge. Both room and bathroom were cosy and clean. There was an USB power plug on the wall so I was able to charge my devices.

Alma Inn & Dining Rooms

Harwich

Featuring free WiFi and a restaurant, Alma Inn & Dining Rooms offers pet-friendly accommodation adjacent to The Pier in Harwich, 400 metres from the town centre. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

You can play darts at the inn. Lovely staff in a characterful inn, pub, restaurant near the water. I booked the small room that came with a warning so was prepared. The bathroom was spacious for the size of the room, and it was clean enough for this germaphobe. There's a small fridge in the common area with additional water and coffee supplies. I had a night ferry to the next day, and they kindly held my luggage all day while I went out exploring. Highly recommend!
