"We had a great stay at this really comfortable, warm and delightfully situated cottage."
Agnes and Chris are such very good hosts too. Thank you for the welcome pack of goodies.
Views from the cottage of Ivinghoe beacon as we sat watching a constant fly by of Red Kites.( For two dedicated bird watchers this was such an unexpected treat.)
We have stayed at many properties over many years and Closefield is at the top of the list. Don’t hesitate, it’s even better than it looks folks!
Well that was a review! Thank you.
We seem to be blessed with Red Kites in this area and there are an array of other birds too.
We have visits from lots of wildlife which include herons, owls, hares, rabbits and deer just to name a few.
Five minutes drive away is College Lake which is 65 hectares of a nature reserve, part of the Wildlife Trust. This is a haven for water birds and other wildlife.
So whether you are into wildlife or National Trust Properties or walking which is on the doorstep as we are next to Ivinghoe Beacon. Or simply here to chill, then it should be covered for you.
Thank you.

"Closefield is the ideal getaway."
So many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage, immaculately kept, quiet, secluded, and cosy. Particularly appreciated the very comfortable bed, heated bathroom floors, and glorious east facing location with lots of beautiful morning light! Thank you for a memorable stay.
The cottage does have great light and lovely views, glad you enjoyed the comforts.

"What a delight Closefield is."
Agnes and Chris were very welcoming and have clearly put alot of thought into Closefield. The facilities were excellent and Closefield was very warm and comfortable even in January. The location is stunning and really nice to have breakfast with the sun rising over Ivinghoe Beacon. Lovely views from the house. Overall Closefield is stunning and a great place for a holiday.
We do have amazing sun rises and sunsets here along with the views.
We are gald you were comfortable and warm as that helps when you are trying to relax. Thank you

The cottage had everything we needed & more, clean & very comfortable, nice & warm as the weather took a really cold turn - we were lovely & cosy. Thank you both so much for providing such a beautiful place to relax in & enjoy after our daily walks.
We will definitely have no hesitation in going back & would recommend this property as a top of the range holiday home.

"This is our third visit to Closefield and this time for ten days!"
As before, everything was of a very high standard, with our hosts Chris and Agnes being as welcoming as always. A wonderful welcome pack awaited us on our arrival and we felt instantly relaxed and at home in the spotless bungalow, in its peaceful surroundings. We love it here and can’t wait to return. Great base for travelling. We visited Windsor on two occasions and several National Trust areas.
Lovely to see you both again, always a pleasure.
There are lots of National Trust areas that surround us, we have been told that they are more in this area than anywhere else, not sure how true that is but there are lots.
Hope to see you again soon.

"This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in, Chris and Agnes have done an amazing job making the bungalow absolutely perfect and have thought about everything you would need for your stay!"
The welcome basket packed with goodies was a nice touch.
The bungalow was spotless, the views are amazing and highly recommend walking the ivinghoe beacon which is the view you can see, also a trip into Tring was great fun with loads of nice restaurants and things to do.
Communication from Agnes and Chris was perfect and was greated by Tracey who told us everything we needed to know about the bungalow and local area!
Only thing I regret about our stay is I didn’t book longer…
Thank you that is a compliment.
We look at trying to keep the place as nice as we can get it and often make small changes to accommodate the season by planting or adding outside furniture.
Sometimes we need to take a break too, however we continue to communicate and always have someone in place to cover us. It seems to be that most people wished they had booked longer, but you can always come back....

"We have nothing but good things to say about Closefield; it has been converted to a very high standard."
Everything was just perfect from the moment we arrived, even though we were slightly early. Chris was communicative prior to the day and on arrival he was there with a friendly welcome and very helpful advice on what to do and where to go in the area. We absolutely loved the property, which faces away from the main house so you have no sense that the owners are nearby. The addition of the Welcome Basket was a very generous and nice touch. There are so many beautiful and interesting places to visit in the area, so much so that we intend to visit again next year.

"Closefield is brilliant."
Probably the best self-catering stay we've had.
The property is freshly decorated and sparkling clean throughout. The rooms (living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) are plenty big enough for two people. We found enough utentials, pots and pans in the kitchen for our needs. Amazing amount of choice on the TV. Didn't need the heating much but it was very easy to take the early morning freshness off with a little bit of heat. All in, a fabulous home.
Agnes and Chris were very kind. A sumptuous welcome basket was left and Agnes had thoughtfully provided some gluten free provisions (following an earlier conversation with me). They checked in with us a couple of times and offered some good suggestions for activities, which was helpful.
The location is wonderful. We had a couple of lovely evenings, stood looking out of the main window at the birds, foxes, rabbits and other wildlife.
Plenty of stuff to do within a half hour drive including NT and EH homes and gardens, walks and St Albans.
Thank you for such a detailed and lovely feedback.

Beautiful environment close to nature.
We were warmly welcomed with a cup of coffee despite the fact that they had little time and had to leave for a party. It felt to us as if we had been there for years, so familiar. Two beautiful people who take the time for you and have a heart for what they do. We have booked again for September.
