It is situated in between the village centre, where you will find all the necessary amenities, and the lake, where you will find water sport activities, scenic walks and bike rides. The cottage has been completely renovated to retain all the original quirky features of wonky ceilings, old exposed beams and original gate doors. The rooms are cosy and inviting. All of the windows are double glazed but there is an element of road noise at certain times of day that is out of our control. Our quaint cottage will host four guests comfortably, however we can accommodate five by adjusting the single day bed, in bedroom two, to become a double. We can supply an additional dining room chair or high chair if required. We will provide continental breakfast supplies, sufficient for your first morning, consisting of tea, coffee, milk, small selection of individual cereals, orange juice, bread, butter and jam. There is a charcoal BBQ in the outside storage for your use in the beautiful garden. On arrival you will find a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge to welcome you to Wayside Cottage. We are very dog friendly and our Hugo ( chocolate Labrador ) loves the local walks so please bring yours and enjoy the fantastic walks avalible. We only live a few miles up the road and can offer any advise on the local area, restaurants, dog walks, cycle rides, days out at near by local beaches, villages and of course Dedham the Constable Country etc. Wake boarding, kayaking and paddle-boarding is available to rent on the local lake which is only a 1 minute walk away, where you will find which not only has two wakeboard Cables with jumps but also boasts the largest water inflatable obstacle course in Essex !! With the St Osyth Parish boasting to be the driest area in the UK, only receiving on average 507mm of rainfall a year a Priory and a history of Witching there should be plenty to keep you entertained :) ## Property amenities ### Beach -
