Guests say
Guests generally enjoyed their stay at Peacock on the Pin, praising its cleanliness, privacy, and the hot tub feature. The property is appreciated for its seclusion and proximity to a golf course, with some guests finding it perfect for a peaceful retreat. The welcome prosecco and the property's decor were also highlights.
Most guests found the property to be clean and tidy, with only a couple of mentions of cleanliness issues such as a blocked shower drain and a dirty shower mat. The positive remarks on cleanliness far outweigh the negatives.
The location is generally well-received for its quiet village setting and proximity to Braintree, with secure parking and privacy. However, some guests noted the disturbance from the nearby golf course and a lack of peacefulness due to the proximity of the golf club members.
Guests found the bed comfortable and the property cosy, but some noted the size of the property and the bathroom facilities were smaller than expected. The noise from the golf course and a barking dog were also mentioned as discomforts.
The hot tub was a highlight for many guests, and the property was equipped with a smart TV and kitchenware. However, there were comments about the lack of cooking utensils, a basic kitchen, and maintenance issues like a blocked shower drain and worn-out dressing gowns.
The hosts were commended for their thoughtfulness, with mentions of prosecco on arrival and supplied milk. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

The Peacock on the Pin is such a good amazing retreat, it’s relaxing, gorgeous and really takes you away from everything. Me and my partner had the best time while we were away and enjoyed every second of our stay. The room was lovely, not to mention the hot tub! It’s a gorgeous area and is perfect for a weekend away! Couldn’t recommend it more! ❤️

The hosts were lovely people but the place is right on a edge of golf course and every morning half 6-7 the golf club cutting the grass and it’s very noisey and also there’s a dog barking in a morning so won’t get a lay in. The place is smaller than looks on photos and sink in bathroom a waste of time as tiny and can’t wash in it properly. Members of golf club constantly walking past where hot tub is although it is fenced off but not very peaceful. The converted garage is nicely done overall but not very big.
