Fantastic, comfortable and private stay.

10.0

Fantastic hideaway near Colchester. Extremely comfortable, has everything you need for a short stay. Bed was super comfortable and the bath...well that was an experience! Hosts very efficient and respectful of privacy. Lovely small garden with sun loungers & table, not overlooked.

If you are cooking for yourself just beware that there is no conventional oven (there is a microwave), but this didn't affect our enjoyment of the property.
