What our customers say about their holidays
Jacqui - Verified booking
It is in a very nice location and the owners are very nice poeple.
Whilst the bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable the cottage is let down by the lounge which is on the small side and the furniture which is not very comfortable. The off road parking is under a fig tree and consequently the car gets covered in poo. There is also a parking space on the road, but the road is fairly narrow so did not consider it wise to use it. The bathroom is great but there has to be a 20 min wait between showers as they are not on mains water. This was fine for the two of us but something to consider if more people are staying there. The kitchen is large and well provided but there is no storage space.

An absolutely perfect stay and a home away from home. We stayed at the Barn for a week while we waited for completion on our house. Staying here took the stress out of the situation completely. It had everything we needed and more. The barn was immaculately clean and very modern, whilst maintaining the original features. It’s also child friendly with a high chair provided and lots of room for running around, which our little one loved! Hosts were super friendly and hospitable - very welcoming and easy to contact with any questions. We highly recommend this beautiful barn with fantastic hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay at The Gate House over Easter.
George and Fiona provided a very warm welcome and a generous package of supplies, including an Easter egg for the boys which they enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble for George and Fiona, and the unending supply of logs for the fireplace was much appreciated, making for a warm and cozy stay. The beds were comfortable, the shower always warm and strong, and there was plenty of room for family meals in the kitchen. The location was quiet, being out in the countryside, and some nice walks directly from the house were possible. We would highly recommend a stay at The Gate House, as we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

We had a very enjoyable stay in The Gate House - the soft furnishings and artwork, in particular, make it feel like a cosy home.
Fiona and George were very welcoming, and keen to assist if needed. There is no garden to the property but they have created an attractive seating area at the edge of the field just opposite. The Gate House sits on a quiet country lane with several public footpaths nearby to access the lovely countryside, whilst the village pub and shop are about 25mins walk from the house. We were pleasantly surprised at just how pretty the local area was and would definitely stay here again if we were in Essex.

Nice cottage tucked away in the countryside.
Quite a big kitchen and comfy bedrooms. There is a pub about a mile away but itâs not an easy walk due to the narrow roads, but there are some good pubs only a few miles away. Good base for visiting Colchester, Bury and other locations. The hosts are just next door and made themselves known if we needed them but otherwise they left us to ourselves. Parking is sort on on the side of the road so bear this in mind if you have a large car, but itâs a pretty quiet road anyway!
