What our customers say about their holidays

  Beautifully appointed property, tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

  We all found our beds really soft and comfortable - although a sheet had been placed between the duvet and bottom sheet, which on 3 of the beds was very crumpled up and twisted and meant having to re-make the bed. The dining chairs were the most comfortable I've ever known and meant sitting over long luxurious meals was a dream. We felt the kitchen could have been better stocked with essential equipment - there was no whisk, so whipping cream and eggs with just a fork was rather laborious! There was no ice cube making tray/container so we just filled up plastic boxes with water and once frozen, had to smash it up! There were only 6 mugs, no cups so meant having to run bowls of washing up water or putting the dishwasher on every time we had hot drinks was a bit of a waste of water! Ideally I'd recommend at least 12 to 18 mugs to allow for enough hot drinks throughout the day! When we arrived and began hunting for mugs, we found them in the dishwasher along with some other crockery, which hadn't been emptied! On the whole, we had a wonderful weekend and the weather enabled us to enjoy sitting out in the lovely garden - although, it would have been nice to have some seat cushions as the wooden chairs were very hard and a bit worn/mossy and a parasol would have been useful. The only entrance to the property had a very high step, which a couple of us less fit ladies found quite a struggle to climb up - a smaller step outside the door would make it safer and easier. Having ground floor bedroom and shower room and being so spacious inside, makes the property ideal for a wheelchair user, if only the entrance could be re-jigged - just a thought for the future as it is so difficult to find suitable properties for the physically challenged! A lovely holiday cottage and we would go back if the entrance was easier!

  A lovely well-equipped cottage, clean and comfortable.

  The garden is nice and secure for dogs. Molly loved it. The owner provided a very nice welcome basket plus basics like tea, coffee and milk - great after queues in the Friday traffic. The location is good although entering and leaving the driveway can be a bit scary because it’s on a bend with some traffic exceeding the speed limit. There is a good local butcher in Ramsey village, where they also have homemade cakes and a fish counter at weekends.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lodge Cottage, which is exceptionally furnished with all top quality fixtures and fittings.

  The garden is secure and excellent for dogs with walks right opposite the cottage, approximately 2 miles to the beach. Views of the sea can be seen from some windows in the cottage. Little Oakley has a small convenience store and is within a short drive into Harwich. Overall we highly recommend staying at Lodge Cottage, it really is a fantastic property, exceptionally clean and exudes luxury. We hope to stay here again.

  Lodge Cottage was a perfect home from home for a weekend away with friends.

  It’s finished to such a high standard and we felt instantly relaxed and comfortable. It’s also easy to get to, which was important as we live in different parts of the country. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we’d 100% recommend!

  We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and it really felt like a home from home.

  There was everything there that you wanted or needed especially with an 11 month old. The hosts of the house were amazing, very friendly and easy to contact should you need anything. I highly recommend this property it was outstanding.
