Cosy Cottage, Fireplace, Fenced Garden, Pets

The cosyness of the cottage, the little touches, the surroundings, the quietness and the general relaxing nature of all of it.

What a delightful little cottage. A perfect cottage in a perfect location. There was so much to do locally, plenty of long walks in woodlands and by the river. The train station is two minutes walk away for trips the Colchester for more entertainment etc. You could even head to London. There are a number of pubs and a few little café and tea rooms. These appear to be independent and were so tiny that I didn't manage to get a place in the days that I was there. There are take aways, chip shop and a co op all within a few minutes walk. The weather was amazing and I was able to make the most of the patio which was flooded with sunshine and perfect for reading a book and having a drink. The house is compact, but thoughtfully decorated and clean and tidy. The age and character of the property lead to some limitations as you would expect, but I thought it was lovely for my short stay of a couple of nights. Despite being a terrace house it was quiet and peaceful. There are two double bedrooms which are light and spacious with lovely crisp bedding and such comfortable mattresses. The bathroom is quirky and colourful with lashings of hot water and lovely ethical cleaning products. The kitchen had all you could need, though limited space to put your food. There were nice touches of milk, tea, coffee and a bottle of fizz, should you wish it. I was very impressed and would certainly book to stay there again.

The house was wonderful but a couple of associated niggles.. Parking was not easy and I ended up quite a distance from the house. Fortunately you don't need the car as everything is in walking distance but it did make packing and unpacking more tricky owing to a disability I have. Owing to the age of the building the staircase is narrow and steep. It is painted which makes it slippy in socks! My own fault.

Everything- location, comfortable beds, lovely lounge and well appointed kitchen. Lots of little touches like treats, milk and wine were very welcome. A beautiful cottage with everything you would need. Loved it!

Nothing at all
