What our customers say about their holidays

  • Elaine - Verified booking

    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!

  • Diane - Verified booking

    Lovely new built semi detached bungalow, next to a farm and with open views over the countryside.

    Located in a quiet location on the outskirts of the small village of St Osyth and in easy driving distance from numerous interesting places to visit. Owners greeted us on arrival and were very friendly and helpful, and there were a few tasty welcome gifts. The cottage itself was lovely and warm (we stayed in January) and was immaculately clean. The Kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Bathroom was walk in shower with nice soft towels. Living area had large smart tv and large sofa, nice for cold evenings in (we thought a pouffe or foot stool would be a nice addition to put your feet up whilst relaxing). Large patio doors open out onto a small patio area with table and chairs and nicely planted garden which would be lovely in the better weather. Parking is directly in front of the food which makes unloading and loading the car very easy. Plenty of lovely places to visit….. Harwich historic harbour, The Naze for walking, wildlife and history, Brightlingsea and Frinton nice for a seaside walk. Clacton had nice bits but pier just a giant amusement arcade and avoid Walton the Naze pier at all costs ! Would definitely visit again, thank you for a lovely stay.

  • Gina - Verified booking

    Hide and Sleep is a welcoming, home from home property, perfect for large families.

    There were 9 of us in 3 groups. It is well equipped, although as our stay was over Christmas we had taken extra serving bowls and kitchen equipment, not all of it was needed. The wet room in the annexe is a fabulous addition, but we didn't use it in Winter because the room was chilly, and the shower did not stay hot for long. Laminate flooring through out the downstairs made it easy to move furniture about for the house to function as we needed it to, and easy to keep clean. The large bedrooms were clean and comfortable. For our party twin beds in another room would have been better as the children would have had to share a bed. We provided our own air bed which there was plenty of room for. Providing hanging rails was good. No bulky furniture. There were enough decorations in the house to make it feel festive. A walk to the beach for the adults and our dog was not too far. The children enjoyed their time at the beach and the park, which were a short drive away

  • David - Verified booking

    This cottage was just what we needed.

    It is in a quiet street with no through traffic and so lovely and relaxing. The cottage was very pretty and comfortable and had everything we needed. My initial concern about parking was unfounded as there was always plenty of free parking in nearby streets. There are good places to eat nearby, The Alma pub and The Pier restaurant both do exquisite food, the Hanover pub does good traditional meals in huge portions, and the café on the pier was friendly and convenient. Harwich has some good historic attractions, we would recommend a visit to Harwich Redoubt Fort. Further afield, Sutton Hoo, and Saint Peters Church on the wall are definitely worth a visit.

  • Robin - Verified booking

    We were very impressed with the standard of facilities, the spaciousneess, and comfort and the warmth of welcome.

    We had not expected the tea, coffee, fruitbowl etc and everything we could want was there. St Osyth itself, just a short walk away, has a variety of services, and there are all sorts of interesting places nearby. Being on the farm was fascinating with different shapes and sizes of equipment coming and going, but not spoiling the tranquility in any way. It is well placed and accessible to be a centre for exploring that part of the country and a walk to the coast is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon with a variety of routes depending on intrepidness. We would thoroughly recommend a stay. (Publish only with agreement of the owners)
