Getting Around:
Tucked beside the station in the historic market town of Braintree, this is a calm, easy base where you can slow down and properly unwind. Within minutes you can be on the Flitch Way, a leafy, traffic-free trail that follows an old railway line for 15 miles into the Essex countryside. It's perfect for a peaceful morning walk or an evening bike ride. The trail takes its name from the centuries-old Flitch ceremony in Little Dunmow, where married couples who could prove they hadn't argued for a year and a day were awarded a flitch (side) of bacon. Back in town, cosy independent cafés, a traditional market and friendly local restaurants are all a short stroll away.
Braintree also has a rich story to tell. For generations it was a centre of silk weaving, and the Warner & Sons mill here wove luxury fabrics, including the silk for the Queen's Coronation robes. Today the town blends that heritage with a relaxed countryside pace. With rolling Essex fields, country parks and charming villages on the doorstep, and London just an hour away by direct train, it's the perfect spot to recharge in peace while staying well connected.
