The property is right on the waterfront in the heart of this quiet and welcoming village. The house is surprisingly spacious and is maintained to a high standard.

There is easily room for a travel cot in any of the bedrooms as well. There is a large living area with comfortable seating, a dining table and chairs, a modern kitchen with all the appliances.

The cottage's pièce de résistance is the view across the river Colne estuary to the picturesque village of Wivenhoe and the nature reserve, it is a tranquil and lovely start to every day.

A beautiful, light, attractive cottage with an exceptional setting right on the river, with the riverside walk just outside the door. Very quiet, no traffic passing the door. Small supermarket a short walk away. Lots of things to do in the wider area, to suit all interests. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

It was the second time we had stayed at the property. We love staying there because of the house itself and the great location on the banks of a tidal river.

It's a wonderful and spacy house, we didn't miss anything. The look on the river Colne is very nice, just sitting on the bench in front of the house or the chair at the window. We loved it. The equipment in the house fulfills every need, maybe a coffee machine would be nice. We can recommend the house to everybody.

Beautiful house and wanted to stay there forever. Great host and the house had lots of additional things like washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets which was really helpful. Also a decent amount of toilet rolls which is unusual! The location was simply perfect and beautiful. We had the best time and will be booking in future.
