Totmans
Farm (no longer a working farm) stands on the brow of the hill at
the southern end of Thaxted. It is surrounded by beautiful Essex
countryside and there are lovely views over open country with Thaxted’s
cathedral-like Church and windmill in the distance – an ideal
location for relaxing, touring our beautiful County or just a stop
over for Stansted Airport (15 minutes away). Whatever the reason
you will find Thaxted a truly memorable place to visit.
The
suites are housed in a converted stable block with a courtyard aspect
to one side and a 2 ½ acre meadow to the other. They are
accessed from a west-facing conservatory where you will find seating
to enjoy the wonderful sunsets that Thaxted has to offer; also a
supply of books, games, and videos for those less hectic moments.
The
accommodation comprises: 5 suites each with sitting room with comfortable
furniture, breakfast table, TV/Video, fridge, microwave, kettle
and toaster. Bedroom with clock-radio, hairdryer and ensuite shower
room. All furniture and fittings are colour coordinated. There is
one suite on the ground floor with wheel-chair access and also a
Family Room that sleeps 4.
A
Continental Breakfast is taken self-service style in your own room
at the breakfast table. We have received many comments on how nice
it is not to have to rush to get dressed for breakfast. This also
makes an early departure no problem – just leave the key in
the box.
Outside
there is a courtyard with fountain, 2 ½ acre meadow and a
small orchard where you will find additional seating.
For
the convenience of our guests we operate a no smoking policy. If
this policy offends – we apologise but the majority of our
visitors appreciate a ‘no smoking environment’.
We
are are just a few minutes walk from buses (Stansted Airport), shops,
pubs and restaurants. It takes about an hour to get to London/Liverpool
Street from Stansted Airport (7miles) – so you are only just
over an hour from London’s West End for shopping, sightseeing
or taking in a show. You can either leave your car at the airport
car park or take a bus or taxi from Thaxted.
There
are regular buses throughout the day to take you to Stansted Airport,
Saffron Walden, Dunmow and Bishop’s Stortford – where
you can also connect to other services.
