Large group venue
Large spacious property with plenty of room for number of guests. Lovely garden. Bedrooms on front quite noisy but on road which is quite busy and secondary glazing helped but made rooms hot and stuffy in summer. Provided what was required. It was heavily decorated which maybe made some cleaning difficult and also the size of place.

An Amazing 30th Birthday weekend of celebrations
We stayed with family & friends for our daughters 30th bday suprise celebration she absolutely loved our choice of property as did we, plus our family & freinds were blown away with the accommodation & they loved being able to play pool & darts. Having your own pub puts such a unique twist on the stay, we had a mixologist visit on the Friday night for cocktail making & we threw her a small party on the Saturday night. Yvonne & Keith were so welcoming & friendly we will definately return again & hopefully look to rent out the hot tub as well. 😁

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Baldwin

Host profile image
My husband and I are thrilled to share our beautiful property with others to have memorable get togethers and create fabulous memories. We love to think of people enjoying the unique opportunity of being a landlord/lady of our pub and are excited to welcome you.

Why they chose this property

Our property is beautifully decorated and furnished with charming antiques offering a large social space for you and your guests to enjoy. The property also has a large 3 tired garden that is well kept and maintained and is a wonderful aspect of the property. At the bottom of the garden there is a private area with a 10 person hot tub, changing room, shower and toilets. This area is lit up by fairy lights at night creating a magical experience under the stars. To enjoy this part of the garden and hot tub, please enquire about our bespoke pamper and afternoon tea packages available for private hire at an additional charge.

Ongar is ideally situated in the heart of the countryside but a short car journey to Epping station brings you to the start of the Central Line convenient for shopping trips or taking in a show or just enjoying our capital city.

What makes this property unique

The main benefit of this spacious property, aside from the tasteful decoration throughout, has to be the opportunity of being your own landlord/lady! You can enjoy the atmosphere of this 18th Century coaching inn with all which includes all the fun of a pub; snooker table, dartboard and a 63" plasma screen Sky HD TV to watch sports or movies on the big screen! The perfect place to get together with loved ones and create special memories.
