Ivy Todd cottage, a property with a garden, is situated in Debden, 6.4 km from Audley End House, 13 km from Stansted Mountfitchet Station, as well as 30 km from University of Cambridge. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. Absolutely FANTASTIC! I had a brief stay for a local meeting, which required some follow-up work that I was able to do right at the cottage. It was a delight to look out over the fields, and the cottage was stocked with everything one could possibly need - from juices, beer, wine, and cheeses to antipasti, snacks, cakes, eggs, milk, and, of course, tea and coffee. And that’s just the beginning! The hosts have truly gone above and beyond. Thank you so much 🙏
