Best bank holiday break
The property is beautiful, huge glass windows overlooking the most beautiful garden. Very quiet and relaxing. We loved sitting in the living room with the doors open looking out at the alpacas. They are so cute! The bed is huge, the shower is an amazing waterfall type shower, loads of space. Great location as we had booked to go to colchester zoo and also visited flatford mill and colchester town centre. We can’t wait to come back!

Just Right !
Really, really comfortable. Bright and light . Excellent location for so many places of interest and within an hour to London by train. Lovely garden and fun alpacas - a real joy to watch. Excellent pubs and restaurants near by. Emma the owner is very easy to get on with and is warm and welcoming. We had a truly enjoyable stay and we highly recommend this property.
