West Street Retreat Grade II listed townhouse

Great house.

Pros: Nice house near the port we did enjoy ours weekend away with the dogs.Lovely pub around the area.

Great stay, felt like home from home, would definitely stay again.

Pros: Good location, near to the train station and the centre of Harwich. Parking was a bit hit and miss but I know the area and it is quite difficult to park in general. For the first night we had to park a short way away from the property but on the second night we were able to park right outside of the property. The property is over 3 floors with 2 steep sets of stairs and no bathroom on the top floor where the bedrooms are. This was no problem for us but maybe for people with limited mobility. Lots of crockery and pots/pans in the kitchen. Tea, coffee, sugar, condiments provided. The property feels very much like home from home. There is lots of space which feels very welcoming and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when in the area. Good communication from Georgia the host.

Cons: Would be great to have a small bottle of milk in the fridge as we arrived late and had to find somewhere still open to get some milk. Cleaning products in the cupboard were nearly empty and no dishwasher/washing machine detergent. A few little things like replacing loose/worn out taps in the bathroom and areas of paintwork touching up would make the property feel more appealing. However, this would not put us off in the future, but would make the stay feel nicer.

Pros: Location, decor , cleanliness and quick to respond to queries

Cons: No privacy blind in bathroom, clothes rail in double bedroom broken, hot water tap in bathroom loose

If I didn’t have arthritic knees it would have been perfect

Pros: A classy charming well equipped house with a friendly helpful owner

Cons: The stairs are steep

Perfect for both a short/long stay. Would stay again

Pros: The property was spacious, and had everything we needed. The front room was cosy. The bathroom had both a bath and shower which was nice. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. They also left a welcome drink and mince pies when we arrived. The location was good only 5 mins to the beach and 10 mins to the town centre.

Cons: There wasn’t nothing we didn’t like. We had a lovely relaxing time over the Christmas period.

Really comfortable relaxing stay

Pros: It was cosy and convenient , well equipped and suited us really well

Pros: Our second family stay in the property. The house is perfect and the host is amazing to deal with. Would thoroughly recommend this property!

Cons: Nothing this property is amazing!

Beautifully decorated and comfortable house in the centre of the maritime area of Harwich. Would recommend!!!

Pros: Great location in the maritime area, near the Sailing club

Pros: Very good interior. Couldn’t find anything wrong with house, location and host all very well presented.

Pros: Ideal for a relaxing couple of days away. Close to the pier with views to the docks
