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 in idyllic village

We very much enjoyed our 4 night stay at Millie's Cottage. Although the cottage is small the owners have thought of everything! Good selection of pubs and tea rooms in the village.

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!

This was an absolutely stunning place to stay!

Although small inside, the cottage was beautiful! The utmost care has been taken to provide a relaxing, peaceful environment. We had beautiful weather the whole time, so could take advantage of sitting in the back garden to enjoy the day. And, of course, everything in the village was easily accessible to the cottage. We lacked nothing. Our only difficulty was parking, especially during the day, but it appears to be a problem for the people who are residents of the village, also.

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful village

Perfect little cottage with outside garden space as well. We were able to take our dog which was great. Owner very quick to answer emails with any questions we had. Everything you would need was in the cottage. Good quality bedding and towels and unexpected breakfast provisions was a nice surprise.

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.
