"Lovely old cottage, furnished well with a nice kitchen having everything you need for eating in (except for a sieve or collander). Clay tiles on ground floor make the floor cold so bring slippers in low season. Some very low beams so tall people beware. Couldn't light the gas fire though. Surprised to find slow-moving bees on window sills or on floor each day when returning from day out."

"We enjoyed our stay (been before) it is a lovely well kept well stocked comfortable property and good communication with the owners will stay again perry and Diane"

"Excellent venue for a birthday event with a large family. Lovely house, very well equipped, no complaints at all. Highly recommended."

"The property was cute and convenient."

"A perfect barn conversion giving you everything you need for a peaceful break away from everything. A friendly welcome from the host shortly after arrival who gave us really useful info on the local area etc. The barn itself is perfect and gives you everything you'd need for the perfect break. Lovely area not too far away from West Mersea and the wonderful seafood sellers"

"Loved the setting totally secluded"

"Everything was as listed….the log burner was an added feature which we were happy to use on rainy days. The location was really goid… Colchester close and historically very interesting. North of the city was Constable country… nice walks and interesting info on the artists. South we enjoyed Tiptree museum, and the Salt marshes for walking and photography. Ovreall it was everything we wished for “"

"Cosy. Nice little garden"

"Very clean and well equipped in lovely location and excellent views"

"The cottage is clean, bright, warm,and has great views of the river. Ideal for bird watching!! Veryclose to local pubs, small supermarket, and bus route.....left the car behind for 5 days!"

"Clean tidy"

"We all loved the cosiness of Crabtree Cottage. The garden was great, particularly for the children & dog."

"The house in Point Clear Bay is exactly as described. We booked for a family of 6 (2 kids and 2 grandparents) and they all loved the location. Sitting outside by the large doors overlooking the sea was fantastic. The sunset and moon views were great and it was very relaxing watching the tides change. The house is very well equipped with notes, guides, amenities and welcome basket of goodies. I can recommend crabbing by the sea when the tide is almost high, and a walk around the peninsula....

"The property was very clean and tidy. The Continental Breakfast provided was varied, plentiful and fresh. We only met the owner, Rosie and one other member of staff called Linda. Both were very welcoming, nice, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t really have time to investigate the area as our stay there had been for the purpose of visiting friends who we had met on previous holidays abroad and to attend their daughter’s wedding. We wouldn’t hesitate to book to stay at Hogwarts again...

"Lovely little 'barn' style property. Owner greeted us upon arrival & was extremely welcoming. Good location as a base for visiting the area."

"Not a terrible place just stuck literally in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it would suite some, just not us. Met with noise from neighbours thumping against walls and a cat that kept whining to come in. Left 20 minutes after arrival. Informed owners but they didn't seem too concerned we weren't staying and didnt ask why we weren't staying. An OK place, just not for us."

"Wonderful experience in a clean, cozy and relaxing cottage."

"A great base for visiting local gardens......Hyde Hall, Beth Chatto etc."

"The property is well equipped and spacious. Price was a little over £75. Per person per night. You couldn’t hire a beach hut for that! A small suggestion would be to add handrails to garden steps and steps to kitchen could be boxed in and carpet tread added,my little dog had an issue getting up and down them , plus a coat of white paint to bedroom furniture. But that’s nit picking. All in all a relaxed and pleasant stay Thank you ,Chiara and Rob ."

"Such a beautiful property, Host was brilliant Will definitely book again "
