What our customers say about their holidays

  This house is amazing both in character and convenient position for the beach which is one of the most child friendliest around.

  The hosts went out of the way to make sure we had a brilliant time and left us a beautiful basket of age appropriate goodies. The garden was super for little ones to play safely and to hide in all the little dingle dells. We loved the dining room with space to sit and eat as a family, the children pretended it was a restaurant and served dinner! We cannot fault the effort made by the owners and the quality of towels bedding etc. We did take our own safety gate as the stairs are big and our babies were 4 and 2. Walton on the Naze beach and the Tower are worth a visit we didn’t really need to go anywhere else ! This house is the secret you want to keep but feel you should share with everyone it is a home not a boutique show house there is one tv in the lounge for those quiet evenings when the little ones are in bed and a super veranda that Nana spent most of the week on! With grandchildren curled up beside. I would love a washing whirling thing in the garden as the airier wasn’t big enough for 8 towels/ swimmers baby gear etc. We wanted to save electricity and not use the dryer. Definitely a 10/10 holiday. Highly recommended. We will be back.

  A wonderful holiday home.

  Clean, spacious, well-equipped with bags of character. Had the added bonus for me of being very similar to my Granny's house and bringing back lots of happy memories. Moments from the sea. Very kind and helpful (though not intrusive) owners. Lovely garden. Quiet and peaceful location. The only issue we had was the owner accidentally gave us the key code with one digit out, so we couldn't get in at first. In fairness to her, we called and she answered straight away and then gave us the correct code and we got in. However- if I were to go again, I'd definitely double-check any info I'd been given before setting off. We would heartily recommend this property to just about anyone. Thank you very much for a very enjoyable stay.

  This was a repeat stay at the house which now feels like a home from home.

  The house is large and very well equipped; it is clear that a lot of thought has been given to what visitors will find useful. It is always spotlessly clean and the welcome basket is generous with quality products. The owners are very helpful and friendly if you need assistance with anything. The shops in Connaught Avenue, which include a Sainsbury’s and a Co-op, are a short walk away as is the sandy beach. We would not hesitate to recommend the yellow house for a relaxing holiday or break. It is particularly good for walkers and families with children.

  We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely spacious house.

  We particularly loved the big dining room and the well equipped kitchen. The owners provided a generous welcome basket which was greatly appreciated. The beach is a short distance away and is safe as it shelves very gradually as I remember well from my childhood growing up here. A variety of shops including a baker, butcher and wet fish shop are a short walk away. There are also supermarkets within easy reach. This house is ideal for a relaxing holiday particularly for walkers, bird watchers (at the nearby Naze) and fans of swimming.

  We had a wonderful stay.

  The property location was excellent and it was very comfortable. Things we loved were the outdoor shower for sandy feet, plenty of seating in the garden and the amazing welcome hamper. We could, perhaps, have benefitted from more teaspoons and mugs (we are big tea drinkers!), and more clarity on the recycling bins and what goes out when. Luckily the neighbour was happy to help us sort it out! Overall we had a very relaxing and enjoyable visit and will be back again!
