Guest Reviews
- Carolyn (9/5): Lovely studio with good breakfast , bowl of fruit a very nice touch. - Very well appointed and equipped . Host was very helpful. The shower cubicle was a bit tight!
- Bill (9/5): A good place for an overnight stay near our friends in Colchester. - Have stayed here before and the property fully lived up to expectations.
- Carroll (9/5): Overnight stay at Sunrise Studio - Directions to Sunrise Studio were a great help, & we were very surprised & impressed with how much Jimmy the host had managed to pack into the studio ! Very well thought out, all very clean, seemed to have everything you would need for a short stay Nothing of note to mention here
- Maksymilian (10/5): -
- Susanna (9/5): - Everything was excellent! There was a underlying smell of dogs.
- Mattias (2/5): Don’t go - Relatively nice rooms Nice rooms if only shower had been in working order, the staff couldn’t care less when I raised the concerns and me the same evening it happened that it had been tended to. But still no hot water so I ened my stay a day before as the only reason I was there was for facilities which they didn’t provide for two nights and most likely not the third and last night. No offer of changing room (likely there are more than one boiler) no compensation. Unscrupulous owners wanting to milk customers and skeleton staff for what it’s worth.
- Emily (8/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Keith B (9/5): Cosy and comfortable, everything we required - Essential food items left were a bonus
- Kay (10/5): Perfect overnight stay with dogs. Great breakfast provided. - What a great find. Booked at short notice to accommodate a change of plans and received the confirmation and entry instructions quickly. All straightforward and we couldn't have asked for more. Lovely little studio, nicely decorated and comfy: well organised with everything required for a restful night and a good breakfast. We really appreciated the selection of food and drinks provided for breakfast. GOOD COFFEE, cereal, bread/toaster, butter, jam, fruit, yoghurt, juice....all good quality and fresh - a great start to our day. Thank you for welcoming dogs without charges, they loved it too. It was perfect. I cannot fault it.
- Florence (10/5): Peaceful and clean - How clean and tidy it was Nothing
- Adam (10/5): - Easy access. The room was well equipped with more than I expected
- Vincent (8/5): Great place to stay for short trips to Dedham area. - Host Jimmy was great. Continental breakfast in your room on arrival with all you need to prepare it. Bathroom a little cramped but fine for short stay.
- James (7/5): It was fine for what I wanted …. - Very clean and comfortable Shower abit tricky to work , but once I got the hang of it …..
The coffee machine , although worked twice failed to work after that …
- sarah (10/5): Great studio in a convenient location! Well equipped, comfortable and clean. - We were very impressed with the studio. It was perfect for our needs, being an easy distance off of the A12. The studio was very clean, comfortable, and warm, and the host, Jimmy, had thought of every little detail. Communication from the host was excellent with clear instructions for access. Offroad parking was available immediately outside the studio. There was good information available at the studio for places of interest to visit in the area and local eateries. There is a fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker there, which were useful. Whilst we only stayed one night, we would very happily stay here again. Thank you Jimmy :)
- Philip (10/5): Well done Jimmy - Absolutely perfect, warm and cosy, breakfast was a great bonus, parking on site lots to do in the area, my grandson has a friend nearby so we will be back even if it is 185 miles from our home Nothing
- Arathy (8/5): -
- Tim (10/5): - Lovely location very close to Dedham village in Constable country.
Delightfully designed and decorated mini appartment with easy ground floor access in a pretty cottage extension.
- Hugh (8/5): -
- David (10/5): Perfect one night stop over, everything we needed - Comfortable, decor, facilities, parking, spot on Nothing!
- Paul (9/5): Perfect everything I needed. - Quiet, private, good facilities. Nothing
- Gary (9/5): Home from Home - So tidy
Loved the breakfast bits and bobs Nothing
- Jo (8/5): -
- Anne (10/5): -
- Anne (10/5): A perfect stay. - Warm welcoming and comfortable with extra thoughtful touches. All good.
- Zoe (10/5): Cosy, very comfortable, generous and great value. Perfect for Dedham centre less than 2 miles away. - A fantastic, cosy and comfortable studio. Very clean with the bonus of having a continental breakfast provided (yoghurt, bread for toasting, cereal, muesli, milk, orange juice, jams, butter) with a Tassimo coffee machine and capsules, kettle and toaster. Wifi strong and TV with multiple channels. Easy to warm up with a responsive modern radiator (we stayed on one of the coldest nights of the year). Designated parking space off road right next to the studio - ideal for unpacking cases. Definitely recommended. It was all excellent and well thought out.
- Deborah (10/5): - Quiet
Reasonable price Nothing
- Jennifer (10/5): Cute getaway - Everything was amazing. Absolutely lovely place. Nice and quiet and serene. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room is super cute and nicely decorated. Very easy check-in process! I will definitely choose to stay here every time I'm in Colchester.
- James (8/5): Good location for our visit - Clean and tidy
- christophe (8/5): An enjoyable stay. - We weren't expecting breakfast and so it was a bonus but a choice selection might work better. We could see that a lot of attention to detail had been made which was really nice Access to some of the electrical sockets was awkward. The bathroom was cramped and could be reconfigured better. Remove the shower door, make it a wet room, remove the sink.
We had a lot of luggage and so the size was a bit problematic for us.
- Piluckytė (10/5): - Everything was set up very nicely and selection of breakfast waiting for us was especially very nice and thoughtful.
- Alison (8/5): Comfortable and just what we needed - Well organised, nice, generous touches, simple, straightforward stay. Provided everything we needed; nice furnishings, lovely extras like fruit and fresh granary bread slices, butter and jam for breakfast. I appreciated the fridge, hooks to hang clothes, good quality towels, bedding, crockery and coffee machine with pods. The owners clearly went the extra mile to provide an enjoyable stay. This was a lovely, well priced overnight stay. We experienced no problems at all. We have no complaints, just observations. Bathroom was chilly. There is a heated towel rail but it wasn't on when we arrived and remained cold to use. A larger shelf for toiletries would be useful and the basin really is tiny. Bed is a normal double which is smaller than we're used to. Cereals were a lovely touch but I have a nut allergy and both options appeared to contain nuts (muesli and crunchy nut cornflakes).
- Breukelman (8/5): - Het was prima, de douche verdient onderhoud. Lekkende leidingen. Zie giethoorn.
- Alex (10/5): -
- Alison (10/5): Cosey and comfortable overnight stay - This studio is comfy and cosey with everything we needed for a short stopover The attention to detail and thoughtfulness of set up
- rob (8/5): A pleasant surprise - Very well catered room. Small but usable and well appointed. Host had considered pretty much all needs.
Very good. Not much.
- Barnaby (10/5): -
- Emma (8/5): Good stay, thank you. - We had everything we needed.

- Christopher (9/5): - Really nice studio with all the provisions for a short stay . Good size room with a bathroom.With its own front door.
Lots of things provided like coffee,milk and a whole bowl of fresh fruits.. Orange juice and cereal for breakfast was lovely extra bonus gift .
All at a very reasonable cost .
The room was bright had good heating facilities that my wife needed in the late evening.
Access was easy as was parking at the front of the cottage.
Would definitely use it again if it is available?
I can see this will be in demand. Nothing the only factor I would have liked see different was the shower was a little small for those who are bigger that average.But manageable .
- Vincent (8/5): -
- Miguela (10/5): Comfortable, quiet, would definitely do it again ,only think that was not so good is all the shops are about 15 minutes - It was very comfortable, everything was available It was a small room ,but for a overnight was enough.
- JJ (10/5): -
- David (8/5): A great 2 night break, a small but perfectly formed place. - Everything reasonably required was present. Easy parking right outside and convenient access.
Nice breakfast items including fresh bread, cereals, milk, orange juice, butter, jam & marmalade.
Fruit bowl a very nice touch.
Stable door useful.
- Phoebe (10/5): -
- Maurice (7/5): - The Studio was absolutely spotless and very Cosy. Lovely extras I.e fruit juice fruit bowl etc. Although we never met the hosts check in was extremely easy The whole area, there was nowhere to walk too if you fancied a meal out, or drink, nowhere to safely walk dogs.
Had I read and understood the area I wouldn't have booked
- Lesley (9/5): Cosy cottage stay! - Beautiful room, well decorated with adequate amenities for my stay.
Nice selection for breakfast, with tea, coffee, and orange juice.
Lovely, comfortable bed!!
Very close to Dedham village, which is a must visit.
Jimmy, the host, was incredibly helpful, too.
Thank you! Everything was great for my stay.
- Martien (8/5): - Vlakbij de ferry van Harwich en super makkelijk inchecken De raam kon niet open.

- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect little stopover with all the added extras A1 👍 Nothing not to like ✔️
- Chatterton (8/5): Very good for what I needed - Comfort and warmth Nowhere to give the dogs a run
- Chatterton (8/5): Comfortable,very helpful owner. - Warm and very comfortable bed. Had a bit of trouble woking the shower the first night, but fine the second use! There was no garden to walk the dogs which for some reason i thought there was. Luckily there was a field of potatoes oposite where i could take them at the moment. A different crop would make this difficult. They were welcome in the studio.
- David (9/5): Short stay in Dedham - Clean Comfortable accommodation with
off road parking. Fridge with nice breakfast items included and you can also keep own
drinks Long walk to local pubs and shops. Bed tends to move easily as on wheels

I had a fantastic stay at this lovely studio! It’s perfect for a solo traveler or couple —clean, cozy, and very well equipped. Everything I needed was provided, from kitchen essentials to a comfortable bed and a spotless bathroom. The space is thoughtfully arranged and made me feel right at home. Great value and highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient place to stay! N/A
- Alycce (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (9/5): Excellent accommodation - Clean studio. Perfect for a short stay. Well stocked and tasteful decoration. Would recommend Not much. Bed was a small double for two larger people, but the studio overall was excellent
- Paul (9/5): Superb - Pleasant room with a soft bed and DIY healthy breakfast. I never saw the host and had no need to as communication was great, I prefer this privacy unlike other places I stay where the host is bugging you with unwanted chat whilst I'm trying to enjoy a quiet breakfast.
- Heather (10/5): We arrived late because of where we’d been during the day - lights were already on and heating on which felt amazing as - Easy access and great instructions - close to where we needed too Nothing wrong at all
- Sarah (10/5): Beautiful, comfortable and good value - Beautiful, clean and comfortable studio style accommodation. Parking space next to property. Well equipped room, with everything we needed. Continental breakfast was great too. Nothing
- Costin (10/5): Exceptional - Nice location
Nice studio

All linen and towels provided. Friendly host. The sink in the bathroom is a little small but wasn’t an issue for our one night stay.
- Jenny (10/5): Lovely piece of heaven in a beautiful rural area - Very nice and clean, I liked the fact that it was a key safe, so could come and go as we pleased. Slightly difficult to find, but rang the owner and he picked up straight away, and directed us.
The place was lovely and clean, and there was plenty of choice for continental breakfast. There was lots of info about the local area too. Nothing
- Malcolm (9/5): excellent short stay - the breakfast was a healthy start to the day with plenty of fresh fruit.
- C (10/5): Small but perfectly formed - We were delighted with the accommodation - really clean, modern, well thought out and presented.
- Louise (10/5): Excellent stay. Would certainly come again to visit Flatford Mill and the riverside walk etc. - Breakfast perfectly adequate and location fine. Very comfortable bed. The television on the wall would have given more space and better access on the worktop for the microwave.
- Jacky (10/5): Beautiful little Gem - The property was beautifully decorated with lots of lovely little extras. The hosts were super friendly and helpful.
- Beth (9/5): Lovely, peaceful stay. - Lots of breakfast options provided.
Really comfy bed and very clean property.
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Koye (10/5): A night at Maningtree... - The apartment was very clean and cosy. We enjoyed our stay and loved how such a beauty was crafted into such a space. The apartment had nearly everything we needed, and we were tempted to stay longer. We also loved the fact that it felt like we were really away - the sudden change from being on the road (less than 10 meters from the room), and then in a cosy space felt so unreal. Definitely love to visit again. Hmmm... the mapping was quite confusing. We went by bus and got in quite late, got lost following the map using the location on the map. I think getting this updated would help a lot. It felt a bit scary at first - no street lights on the road, on a very cold night, and I had to play it cool so my wife won't freak out, but the host came through.
- Adrian (9/5): Sunrise Studio - I liked the compact ness of the studio flat. It was very good breakfast. The only thing that didn't appear to work was the Tassimo coffee machine but I suspect I wasn't doing something right. Everything else was perfect. You have to drive to Deadham. It us too far too walk and no street lighting but this is not a problem.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - A stunning studio, great place to stay.
- Tim (6/5): Pleasant enough, overnight stay was adequate. - Average. Accommodation would suit a single person rather than a couple. Threshold to shower/toilet could present a safety issue. Front door to room difficult to open,, Door swollen from damp.
- Jade (10/5): Brilliant - This beautiful little room was perfect for me & my partner. It was exceptionally clean. Plenty of food & drinks for breakfast included. Wouldn’t think twice about staying here again!
- Marcus (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely place to stay. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed..Excellent value for money. Good breakfast included in the price. Very thoughtful and helpful proprietor. I arrived after dark in the rain, and it was difficult to identify the correct address from the unlit oadside.
- Witham (8/5): Very good -
- Rosemary (9/5): Great one night stay, all you needed was available. - Very clean, warm and comfortable. nothing.
- Colleen (9/5): Superb - Excellent communication from Jimmy.
Beautiful studio.
Breakfast choices, yogurts,orange juice, coffee,tea, cereal, bread for toast and wonderful fruit selection.
