Pros: Generous sized rooms, comfortably furnished and the house was lovely and warm. 20 minute easy walk to the town. Messages were promptly answered.

Cons: No off street parking, but there was no problem getting spaces.

Great short break in nicely designed house.

Pros: It was designed with bright colours and lots of pictures. The kettle, microwave etc were nice too Toiletries a nice addition. Fridge size excellent and bedding spotless. Had been cleaned to high standard. Colchester is a great place and this was sited well to visit castle and zoo. The dining room was so lovely and spacious. Overall nice size.

Cons: It is not disability friendly as the stairs are too steep ( ground floor bathroom for night toilet visits) and there’s a few other steps around. We didn’t use garden as grass hasn’t been cut. There was also a glass table that was in way a bit.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros: We used this accommodation for our 4 engineers who were installing air conditioning at a near by store. The host was an absolute treasure. Easy to get hold of, who provided an answer to all questions we had. Access to the property was straight forward and was provided beforehand. The location was in an extremely convenient location. The actual accommodation was welcoming, clean, and spacious and our engineers very much enjoyed staying here, rather than a run of the mill Travelodge! or such like. We would definitely highly recommend this accommodation and its host and would stay again if we are in this vicinity again.

Cons: nothing.

Lovely decor, lovely house, great location, would definitely recommend and book again.

Pros: The decor is amazing and the owner was super communicative. It was Christmas and the house had all been decorated and she left some lovely helpful things for our stay; sweets for the kids, foil dishes to cook turkey in and milk in the fridge. It’s just small things but they make such a difference. Even though it was Christmas we could, if we needed, text the owner which gave us a sense of comfort in case anything should go wrong. Everyone loved their rooms and the house.

Cons: Only that the bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are quite steep but it wasn’t a physical problem for us, just a bit annoying in the middle of the night.
