Des is absolutely fantastic to work with. An absolute gentlemen. My wife and I stayed 2 restful nights. Order the full English b-fast he offers, it's fantastic & fresh cooked after we'd awaken and came down to the dining area. Des went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay in Epping & helped us easily... More

My husband and I booked this guest house last minute (really simply done via guest house's website) the night before we needed to stay there. The owner, Des, was more than accommodating (wasn't upset that we contacted him to tell him we'd be an hour and a half later than we'd intended on a Saturday night) and really pleasant to... More

I find some of the reviews about Elmcroft surprising.We went to Epping for a family christening so we only stayed there for one night but I have to say the proprietor could not have been more helpful and accommodating.We left cars parked on his premises and this was quite acceptable.The house was quiet and we had a good night.Breakfast was...

We stayed here recently, and the rooms were dirty, service was appalong and the owner more scary than you could imagine. Was I on holiday? Or was I in a nightmare? The shocking truth is that is was all real, and I really wish now I had read the earlier reviews about this hotel. DO NOT stay there if you... More

This review has been posted by the same party as per reviews 4 july/ 3 july/2 july. We have responded to thease reviews and now regard this as vindictive. You should note that all reviews since have been of a positive nature. I would request that this blog be taken off of your system and ask that you monitor carefully... More

I felt i had to write a small thankyou, for the superb hospitallaty, i received at this guest house. The owner had no problem with any demands i made from him. The room was cleaned to a high standard, and the house and impressive grounds were, of an immaculate standard. The owner is warm and friendly and he makes a... More

Stayed at this place because of an overspill of visiting relatives and also because of it's convenience and location. Read the recent blogs about this place and it is obvious that there was an area of disagreement between guests and owner. I decided to take it with a pinch of salt because after all who would give credibility to a... More

Very comfortable, clean and well equiped. The location is quiet and we all had a good nights sleep. Every help was given as we were a group of friends meeting up for a function and arriving independently. The breakfast was lovely, ready on time, and excellently served, we were allowed to leave a car there whilst we attended the Church... More

I have just got back today from what I can only describe as the most harrowing of experiences I have ever had in a guest house. The word guest house is an absolute joke. From the outside looks pretty and well kept, step into that front door and what a shock. It is filthy, carpets looked like they had never... More
