We loved staying at the Stables. Robina and Jeremy gave us such a warm welcome and we really appreciated all the treats they’d left for us. It was very comfortable, warm and cosy. So lovely to return to after a long day’s sightseeing. The location was perfect for us as we really made the most of our National Trust and English Heritage membership. We had two brilliant days at Colchester Zoo and Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park where I spent my birthday feeding Basil, the giant anteater! Such a wonderful holiday, thank you, we’d love to return.

Wonderful location, quiet, walks.Could do with a deep clean. General dust and cobwebs. Found the bath/shower tricky but I think that’s just us ageing quicker than we realise.We returned to the property one evening to find a mouse had nibbled at a bath sponge. Mouse poo around the bath area. Reported to the owner.
