15th Century Period Cottage In Saffron Walden, Essex England
Chocolate box cottage in the heart of the market town of Saffron Walden and yet situated in a quiet back street and only 0.2 miles from the Market Square passing by an artisan bakery and interesting shops and restaurants along the way.
The cottage has undergone extensive renovation to include kitchen, bathroom and en-suite yet retains all of its historic character. The cottage is heavily beamed with a large inglenook fireplace to two rooms, oak floors to the downstairs. It has a small and very private courtyard garden. The property has on road parking available outside. Ideally situated to explore Saffron Walden and Cambridge and London is easily accessed by the local station Audley End which is a 5 minute drive away from the cottage. It is just perfect for two - four guests and idyllic for two. Drake Cottage received the ROSE award from Visit England in 2022 in recognition of service excellence - only 100 hospitality venues receive the award in any year.

Miller Cottage - A gorgeous historic cottage in the centre of the picturesque Medieval town of Saffr
We try to stay here whenever we're in Saffron Walden, visiting family. We are very pleased with the property and the helpfulness of the owner and housekeeper. My only word of caution to prospective guests is that the narrow, winding staircase is not suitable for people with mobility issues, but that would be my only real reservation.

Stunning period cottage in Saffron Walden
Full of character and beautifully presented property. Comfortable, cozy, extremely well equipped.
Location couldn’t be better, quiet, but short walk to all local amenities.
Saffron Walden is a quintessential English town, with so much to see and explore.
Would definitely return to both Drake Cottage and Saffron Walden.

Charming Heritage Cottage
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay at Drake Cottage. The location is perfect; close enough to town to walk to the shops, cafes and restaurants, but off the main road for peace and quiet. The cottage was spotless and beautifully decorated, everything you need is provided. Deb and Lucy answered our questions quickly and efficiently. We would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful cottage in Saffron Walden!

A gem of a cottage
This cottage is set in walking distance of the town but in a quiet backstreet among other period houses. Plenty of space for two independent adults and much hilarity with the stairs - do as we did and decant suitcase contents downstairs! Communication before and during the stay was excellent and loved all the homely touches of the cottage. 100% recommend staying here for a real Saffron Walden experience! Thank you Deb, will look forward to a return visit

Drake Cottage 13- 20 October
Sorry for delay in responding. This in no way reflects our enjoyment of our stay in Drake Cottage. A message was left in the Cottage visitor book.
We found the cottage to be everything we required in comfort and modern convenience while retaining the feeling of old-world charm. It was beautifully appointed for self-catering and was spotlessly clean. The beds, pillows and the bedding were luxurious and more comfortable than any we have ever experienced over many years of both hotel and self-catering holidays. The location of the cottage was superb for access to the town centre.
it made for a most interesting and relaxing holiday venue.

Quirky but beautiful cottage
Ideally situated this property is what my 6 year old would describe as a "wonky donkey " house! It is beautiful but you have to be very aware upstairs if you are tall (there are warnings in the guest book etc). The only slight frustration and not one the owners can control is the parking. Despite signs saying the parking outside was for Drake Cottage people parked there regardless and so we had to unload and put our car in the local public car park but realistically that is a first world problem!!! All in all a fabulous stay

Super spot in Saffron Walden
Charming and comfortable cottage to stay in the heart of the medieval market town. Has everything you need: very well equipped kitchen, cosy living room, comfortable beds, with lovely linens, good shower with powerful spray and plenty of hot water, big tub if you want a soak. Little outside garden area for fine weather. Walking distance from center of SF, Saffron Hall for concerts, Audley End. Only downside, which I think would not be an issue for most is the narrow, turning staircase with low overhead beams to access the upstairs. We are in our late 60s and could manage it fine, but if you were very tall, or not terribly mobile, this might be an issue. We loved the cottage and would certainly return.

Geweldig huisje uit 1460
Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien, keurig schoon en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Alle apparatuur in huis is boven verwachting, tot zelfs een vaatwasmachine en wasmachine aan toe. Super leuke cottage.
1 klein minpuntje is het matras in het 2 persoonsbed, deze ligt naar mijn mening niet echt lekker meer, is te zacht.
Verder zeer de moeite waard voor een heerlijk weekje weg.

So cozy and beautiful! After weeks on the road the Bosch washer/dryer was most welcome. The private patio was a perfect hideaway for morning coffee, afternoon tea, evening wine: flowers blooming, birds singing. We were greeted with a generous welcome tray: coffee, tea, shortbread biscuits, and milk in the frig. Audley End House and Garden are within walking distance. Closer is Bridge End Garden, a lovely surprise. Lunch at The Eight Bells-within a grade II listed building- was delectable and also an easily walkable distance. We had items to ship home and found everything we needed to do so (including a UPS shipment desk at a local business) in walking distance. Housekeeper Lucy is commendable. The cottage was spotless, everything was in good working order. Lucy also quickly responded to our questions. We stayed for 4 nights and I wish we'd planned for longer.

We had a wonderful time
Beginning with the booking and first contact with Deb, all went as smoothly as possible. She answers straight away and is very friendly and helpful. The house was, thanks to Lucy, spotless, beautiful and superbly equipped with a very comfy bed, located in a quiet cul de sac in lovely Saffron Walden. The small outdoor area invites you to read, relax and enjoy the sunshine. I would suggest to buy a Treasure Trail UK either online or in the local tourist information to explore the town and its hidden treasures like the amazing Bridge End Garden.
We can definitely recommend staying here and are hoping to come back soon! Thank you very much for a great time!!

Very nice authentic cottage, convenient location
Drake cottage is lovely, nicely restored keeping some of the ancient look and feel but in the same time nice and comfortable. We had a great time (family with two teenagers) and even had breakfast (brunch) in the little courtyard. We all managed to bump our head once or twice but that was actually more funny than a nuisance.
If there's one thing less positive it must be the parking situation, I had to use the public parking (paid and at a couple of hundred yards) most of the time. No drama, it's not expensive and close by, but less convenient than anticipated.
All in all a great place to stay!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS - 5 STARS!
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Deb's house! After our move from Australia, we based ourselves in Saffron Walden at Deb's cottage for 2 months while we found our feet. It was instantly our home away from home and we loved every minute. Lucy, who looks after the property, is such a beautiful lady who was always beyond helpful and so, so lovely. The town itself is quaint and cute, with the cottage being centrally located. Do yourself a favour and book Deb's place!
