Our second stay at Millie’s Cottage was just as enjoyable and ideal for meeting family

The cottage is comfortable, clean, and well equipped, with a particularly well equipped kitchen and handy extra fridge/freezer in the outhouse. The elevated position offers lovely views over Finchingfield’s village green. A well-maintained and thoughtfully presented property, we’d happily return.

Lovely historic home in charming Finchingfield. The cottage was clean, well decorated and had a surprisingly large bathroom. The Christmas lights were a little bonus. Yes parking in Finchingfield is chaotic but it ebbs and flows so do not let it put you off.

Beautiful cottage, lovely location, great views over the village green and pond.

Small but perfect for our needs. The cottage was spotlessly clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very good. The cottage was in a very good location with lots of pubs, restaurants and cafes for the size of the village.

Weekend Break near to friends

Long weekend where we planned to meet up with friends from both London and Cambridge, and the location was good for that although the first 10 miles in any direction are slow going due to the B road approach.

Comfy and well appointed accommodation in pretty village.

Very clean, well equipped eg decent kitchen, plenty of crockery etc, pet friendly, decent shower, historic, & full of character. Only negatives - lack of any streetlights and difficulty in parking made it tricky finding place after dark.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Visit Essex describes Finchingfield as the 'most photographed village in England' and has won awards for its traditional picturesque setting. The combination of duck pond, village green, hump-backed bridge and pub, overlooked by colour-washed cottages, windmill and a medieval church, give it an unbeatable series of views, which are often found on calendars, chocolate boxes, tea towels, postcards and jigsaws. Millie's Cottage is named after the owner’s grandmother who lived in the cottage with her husband Ernie in the early 1900’s. Ernie was a local farm worker and Millie was a house keeper at Brick House, the property situated near the pond. The cottage has remained in the family and the owners father, Richard, was born here in 1934. Richard was an organ builder and has played the church organ in the village for the last 60 years. If you stay at the cottage you’ll see an example of his handy work, a coat rack made of oak and the manual pulls from an old organ. It is a property which holds many memories for the family who hope you have a chance to enjoy it as much as they have.
