Laurels

We spent 6 amazing nights in Laurels under the loving care of Trish and Stan❤️ We were attending a wedding in Chelmsford and it was a very good option. We felt super comfortable since the first minute and the communication leading up to the arrival was top notch. You basically stay at their beautiful home in super comfortable rooms. As this is their home the attention to the detail is excellent. Room is cleaned everyday. Every morning Trish makes you delicious, fresh and homemade breakfast served to your liking. Stan was always on call for us to drive us around with very good prices. We honestly felt like we were visiting our parents house we were at home away from home. We really didn't want to leave :( will definitely visit again! Also a huge plus they have a super cute kitty Thank you so much for everything!

Firstly the good part: the Laurels are friendly and helpful people, the breakfast is cooked live and just lovely, the beds are of good quality and everything is really clean. Felsted has nice walking areas and a great pub/restaurant called The Swan. There’s one downside, and that’s that you live inside the house of your hosts. They might stay up for you. They will ask where you’ve been. Command you to take your shoes off and keep your room tidy enough for them to clean. The guy will give you an exhausting explanation of the lights and the shower. You can’t change the temperature in the room so you’ll be sweating all night. They won’t leave you alone to have a calm breakfast. Their interest in your whereabouts is next to nosy. They’ve got a silly habit with the locks, it’s like a ford. If they’ve forgotten to take the inside keys out, you can’t get in with your own key. And the man once scared the living sh#t out of me by standing right behind the door as I got in. So… if you don’t mind paying a serious commercial price for staying over at your quite estranged (grand)parents, be their guest! 😉

A nice welcome to this wonderful B & B/guest house set in beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was very clean & a lot of attention to detail. A very comfortable bed with excellent quality mattress! Stan & Trish put on & cooked us a delicious breakfast all sourced locally that set us up for the day! Nothing was too much trouble! Good arrangements for guests wanting to come home a little later in the evening (we visited a friend locally & got chatting away!) Would definitely recommend & would stay here again, Thank you both! 🙏😊

One word superb, wonderful hosts , very well appointed room, super breakfast. From the moment you walk in you are aware you are going to have a quality stay. Thinking of staying anywhere else ?? Well don't it's that good.

Our home from home stay We booked the laurels via my work employee benefits portal but had a look at a few reviews prior to visiting. Let me tell you how relaxing and quiet this stay was. The owner Stan met us at the door when we arrived, was friendly and sociable. The house was immaculate and extremely well presented. Guests have the ability to use the main lounge and a tasty breakfast is served in the morning in the dining room. There was a great selection of food and it was fresh and tasty and cooked to our preference. Our room was the luxury deluxe double and was very comfortable and clean with some little luxury additions of body wash and lotion ( and essentials for the ladies ) The queen bed and pillows enable a lovely deep sleep. The en-suite was a wet room and hot water on tap with some super soft bath towels. I had three showers and hot water available at each time. The brilliant furnishings and home comforts of the room added to the relaxing stay. However I must comment on the host’s Stan and Tricia. They made our stay all the more enjoyable their obvious high standards and pride of their BnB is extremely evident and is the main reason we will be back again in the future. They are extremely communicative and I felt they were available during our stay for anything we needed. We had struggled to get a taxi due to the village location and Stan advised us he would have fetched us. ( next time we will arrange this, Thanks Stan ) The little added touch of the purified water in the decanter in the fridge and the tray of biscuits and selections of tea and coffee in our room felt like a luxury. The Dyson fan was a great addition during a warm evening. The Laurels is a lovely beautifully decorated and well situated place to stay . If you are looking for a home from home break then look no further than the Laurels because it has all you need. I would highly recommend it. See you again soon Tricia and Stan. Ari and James
