This property was so much better than we imagined. It looked just as the pictures had shown on the site and was exceptionally clean and really nicely decorated. It was very secluded, the hottub was so relaxing & the views were amazing, especially watching the sunsets. The beds were comfortable & the kitchen / diner was perfect for 8 of us, the welcome pack was an added bonus too (thank you!). The host was brilliant throughout, providing communication before, during and after our stay. We had a problem with the water and after a quick message it was sorted within 30 mins. It was a very clean well maintained property and we would all definitely recommend. We was initially worried about the high tide but the communication provided helped us time our trips around Colchester and we were able to avoid this. We were 8 adults staying but it would be perfect for a family too as 4 bedrooms at this property. Excellent house/barn Excellent Host Excellent weekend. Thank you from us all.
