Pounce Hall -Stunning historic home in rural Essex

It’s a lovely old quirky house that feels very homely. We’ll equipped & excellent space for multi-generation family. Fantastic gardens.

Nothing!

I cannot state how much we absolutely loved Pounce Hall! It's a very comfortable period family home that oozes with character and charm and creates an instant atmosphere of relaxation and ease. Our party consisted of individuals from the ages of 70-2yrs and everyone had a wonderful time. Not only is the home spacious and friendly, but the garden/grounds are extensive and beautiful and the views all around the property are stunning. It feels very cut off and yet is very close to amenities. No one wanted to leave (including the now depressed labrador). Thank you so much Olly and Mirek for the easy communication.

Traditional old house with a lot of character and details. Beautiful and large garden. All the amenities you would need. Lots of space around the house with different rooms to chill. Quiet location with a nice view. Great communication with the owner. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

Nothing really.

everything about the property was unique, big place, nice fire place, clean and well equipped

spacious, comfortable, relaxed

The house is spacious and very homely. We really felt at ease in the surroundings and it suited our entire group ranging in age from 2 - 80! Having the 3 separate lounges made it easy to relax either as a group or just a few at a time in various rooms. Having the open fires was great and there was plenty of logs etc. While the big spacious kitchen was the ideal place to enjoy just hanging around together. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and great cooking facilities. The gardens were great for the kids to run around in and for the adults to wander. It's a great family home and not so grand that you feel on edge. It's certainly not like a 'holiday' house - it's a real home from home. We hosted an afternoon birthday tea which was catered by Bombshell Bakes - if you are thinking of a tea or celebration cake then google them - absolutely brillilant. Saffron Walden just down the road is a charming old market town and Audley End House is well worth a visit. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pounce Hall and will certainly go back in the future.

The heating had been set to 10 degrees so although it was on a timer it didn't actually come on. Finding the thermostat was a bit of a mission but once we did we got it sorted. And the key safe is well hidden from the door - quite tricky to find. I think it would be better if you gave more detailed instructions of where it is on the check in details. And some champagne flutes would be a welcome addition! All very minor points

Fantastic bedrooms. Great contact.
