After arriving at The School House Cottage we were greeted by our host Cathy. We were shown around the cottage and everything was explained clearly. The cottage was outstanding being very well equipped and was very comfortable and warm. Highly recommend.

Very nice in a lovely quiet area, great for walking and birdwatching. Pub was a little disappointing but if not pub people then great!

Enjoyed a great short break for two at The School House Cottage in Bradwell. The place is clean, comfortable and well equipped for a relaxing holiday away from it all in this quiet corner on the Essex coast. Great walks and views to enjoy nearby in all directions. A pub at the end of the road and a local shop around the corner too. There is a fish and chip shop about half a mile away which has good reviews but unfortunately this was unexpectedly closed during our stay. Would recommend as a place to visit and stay.
