We had an enjoyable weekend with our 4 year old granddaughter, Lily. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Lily particularly loved the hot tub.There was plenty to do locally including Clacton, Walton on the Naze and some lovely dog walking nearby too. Our dog loved the beach at Point Clear.

Beautiful former barn converted to a holiday house. The interior has been tastefully decorated. Garden is a nice place to sit (and has a hot tub!). However, the barn is situated next to a busy road so it’s not very quiet during daytime. Nights are quiet though! Owners provided us with some breakfast basics which was awesome since we arrived quite late in the evening. The owners are really helpful and gave us some useful tips about things to do in the area. All in all I would recommend this holiday house for staying for a few days, it was perfect for our family to ‘land’ in England first before travelling further inland.
