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.

a beautiful cottage in a beautiful village

This was our second visit to Millie's cottage and it was as perfect as before. Really sweet cottage with everything you need including generous outdoor space, and perfectly positioned in the centre of the village. I love eating breakfast at the dining table and watching the world go by!

A Great Atmosphere in and around Millies Cottage

Everything about Millies Cottage was ideal for our needs, the view from the living room and kitchen/dining area was relaxing looking out over the village green, the elevated position reduced any vehicle noise, the rear garden fully enclosed & ideal come the warmer summer months, lots of dog walks on the door step, places to eat & drink, cosy bed, cosy cottage and thank you Shaun for the information and welcome texts. We were visiting family in the area, so ideal for us & will return!
