West Street Retreat Grade II listed townhouse

Lovely, character property. Kids loved the 3 storeys. Brilliant location, perfect for our weekend exploring the historic sites of Harwich. The Alma pub a couple of streets away is brilliant. We went there 3 times during our stay. Georgia was excellent with her communications.

The shower thermostat was set on 61 degrees and was too hot to use. But once we'd spoken with host and sorted where control panel was, we were able to shower more comfortably. But, it wasn't a big issue.

lovely little garden, nice Dining room, comfortable beds

kitchen could’ve had seasoning and a few bits

The house was beautifully decorated with some lovely period features, extremely clean & very well-appointed. It was also very well positioned, being just yards from the seafront and the rest of historic Harwich. Thanks must go to our host, who was extremely accommodating, even going as far as to ask how we wanted the bedrooms making up!

Nothing, I can't fault the property. The following comments are not criticisms, I am just trying to warn people of what they need to expect: be prepared to park a little way from the property as there is no dedicated parking (although we always found a space within 50 yards or so) and expect the stairs to be steep & narrow (it is a 3 storey Grade II listed building, after all).

Good location for what we needed. Parking was on the road but we had no problem finding a space. House was largely well equipped (see below).

There wasn't anything we didn't like about the house itself. It would have helped to have had a tea towel so we could dry up, and only one bath towel each was a bit limiting, especially when I washed my hair.
