Our places in Great Sampford

There are five places in the village, and they differ a lot in size. Some are built for two, one sleeps six across two bedrooms, and the largest takes 16 guests in a single bedroom setup. What you can say is that the smallest places cost much less than the large group lodge, and the cheapest night found is far under the usual level. Almost all of them have a hot tub and allow dogs.

Great Sampford is a small Essex village, and the stays here lean towards hot tubs and dogs rather than a big resort feel. Four in five places have a hot tub and the same share accepts pets. Guests rate them highly, at about 9.2 out of 10.

Prices sit on the higher side for a village stay, and the cheapest night found is well below the usual level. Most places sleep around five, but the range is wide: some suit a couple, while the largest takes 16 guests. A week costs noticeably more outside winter than in it. The nearby towns of Saffron Walden and Cambridge have cheaper starting prices if you want to compare.

Features

The hot tub is the most common feature, found at four of the five places. A garden comes with the same four. A barbecue and a high chair are each listed at three places, which helps if you are travelling with young children or planning to cook outdoors. The places with a hot tub are typically dearer than those with only a garden or barbecue, though the gap is not large. If you need a particular feature, check it on the listing, as the choice is small and each place is different.

By number of guests

Places for two are the only size band with enough listings to compare, and there are three of them, each with one bedroom. They are usually much cheaper per night than the larger lodges, and split between two people the cost per person is the lowest you will find in the village. Larger groups have fewer options, so for six or more you will be choosing from one or two places. If you are a bigger party, book early and compare the per person cost against smaller places nearby.
