Relaxed, rural stay
Pros: This was absolutely perfect for us, surprisingly spacious with an enormous bed. Lovely and warm, very nicely furnished and comfortable space. I imagine this would be particularly great for families in the summer, and we will definitely be staying again when visiting family. The host was really communicative, kind and friendly. A lovely stay!
Cons: Nothing!

Perfect place between Colchester and the coast
Pros: The whole place was lovely. It was very well equipped, the beds were comfy and it was perfect for a weekend getaway. There was tea and coffee provided on arrival. Birds farm is about 10 - 15 minutes from the city centre but it was in the peace of the countryside, it was easy to find too!

High standards, good location, superb value!
Pros: Very well appointed, super convenient, immaculately clean and just a lovely space
Cons: The shower in our unit had zero pressure so getting shampoo out of hair was a sink job!

A very convenient reasonably priced place to stay near to family.
Pros: Keycode meant we could arrive when we liked between check in time at our leisure, which was very convenient as it was Christmas Day! I requested a late check out and was granted 11am, instead of 10am, which was very nice as we were waking up on Boxing Day after a late night with children.
Cons: Nothing really. All very comfortable.

Beautifully clean, great rooms but poor games room. Would return for sure, but only when this faculty had been fixed.
Pros: We stayed in Plover. It was super. Very quant, had all the facilities we needed. The little kitchen was super. Lots of utensils, there was already tea and coffee available for us to have as well, plus the basics for washing up. It was all immaculately clean and super warm in our room. Bathroom was spacious and lovely too. Bedrooms were lovely, but our bed was exceptionally small. Down to personal feeling as mysel and husband are very tall ans have a large bed at home! It was super comfy but just not big enough. Appreciate the size of room wouldn’t have fit a larger bed! Our stay was great as we needed to be in Brightlingsea early on Wednesday morning so it was really good.
Cons: However unfortunately a couple of points that would have made our stay perfect. one of mugs had a huge crack in it from top to bottom so we couldn’t use it. Please could this be replaced for the next guests. the oven had a very loose screw which meant I couldn’t close it very easily. I had to use a wooden spoon to lift it up to align it so I could close the oven door while in use. Please could you look at this as it’s very unsafe while using it and someone could get burnt. The games room my children were very excited about using however this was a really big disappointment. All of the poolques had no tips on them, plus one of them was broken in the middle. The pockets on the table some of them were broken so the balls would just fall through. The lights working in the middle of the room were broken, so it was difficult to see. The Air hockey table didn’t work either. There wasn’t enough presure for the disc to float so was in-playable. Due to the nature of our stay, I really wanted my children to be able to have a fun evening, they were really looking forward to using the game rooms and was one of the other big reasons why I booked Birds Farm. This was a big let down I’m sorry to stay.

Pros: The property was easy to locate using the clear instructions. It was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. We felt very safe.
Cons: We had trouble accessing the WiFi and missed BBC1/BBC2 on tv but not a major issue!
