“Good Intent Rooms strikes me as a practical choice for families visiting Waltham Abbey, with apartment-style rooms and even garden views available. The location is appealing to those wanting to explore Epping Forest and other local attractions, while still staying within a reasonable budget. I think the private entrances are a nice touch, adding an extra layer of security and privacy.”

the room provided was spacious, it included comfortable beds. parking was free and convenient. the location seemed beautiful, i found that peacefulness i seek. the tea and coffee facilities added to the cute feel.

the radiator valves didn't quite work right, quite hot during the night. the hot water tap gave only cold water.

The room was spacious and comfortable. It had all the necessities to. The owners were friendly.

The radiator valves did not all work properly. We were uncomfortably hot in the middle of the night. Hot water flow from the shower was erratic. After two guests showered, it stopped working completely.

great-sized roomclean roomroad noiseflat pillows

the room was a great size and i found it clean. the location proved convenient for the golf course. it was also lovely and quiet, i appreciated this. i found that the room had everything i needed, so i was happy (everything was really well organised).

only one window opened toward the road and m25. it reminded me of trying to sleep in the middle of a race track. i would have liked pillows that weren't so flat, personally.
