A lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood - would certainly stay there again
Pros: In general, I'm very happy with the choice to stay here. It's a lovely house, with a large living room, a dining room and four reasonably-sized bedrooms. Everything was very clean upon arrival, the heating was effective, and there's a driveway for parking, a large TV, and good internet. The hosts communicated all information effectively and have left a folder with instructions for appliances and tips for the main places of interest. We are familiar with the area and chose the house because of its location - it's on a quiet street in a pleasant, residential part of town and has a supermarket a couple of minutes' drive or a 15-minute walk away. It's also convenient for the Tollgate retail centre and the zoo. For anyone with an EV, there's a charging station located about halfway between the house and the supermarket on Dugard Avenue.
Cons: We felt that the kitchen was a little short on equipment, especially for stays longer than ours. As it was, having a blender and more kitchenware would have been useful. I would also have expected to find a corkscrew.

HAPPY HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE
Pros: The house was in a good state of repair throughout and spacious enough to accommodate 8 people comfortably. There was a bathroom with shower and toilet, an en-suite in the main bedroom and a toilet downstairs so no need to queue! Games were provided in addition to a huge tv. The location was perfect for us to visit Colchester town the zoo and Jimmy's farm. Information was provided about the local area and for all the electrical appliances. Tea and coffee were provided which was a nice touch. Off street parking for 2 cars was also handy.

Ideal base to visit people / places if near Colchester
Pros: Plenty of space, made it a home for a week, just ideal. Shops are pretty local as well. Garden would be useful in warmer times!
Cons: Everything ok to be honest, just be careful of the front door, very easy to lock yourself out if not used to this type of door.

Fabulous family home away from home
Pros: The house was really clean and had more items available than I imagined.
Cons: The squeaky bedroom door handles, and that is only because they would wake my 8 month old baby up during the night.
