Romantic and secluded it was the perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend away for two. Room was so cosy and warm, deceivingly roomy and the yurt was fully stocked with blankets, coffees and board games we took full advantage of! There was campfire equipment provided which we enjoyed very much as we ordered some pizzas and sat by the fire. The owners were very friendly and provided all information we needed via text and we had a nice chat with the land owner who recommended a lovely local pub to eat at. Could not recommend enough.

We enjoyed an excellent stay at The Granary in advance of our wedding. The property was perfect for our needs and was a very useful base to help us prepare for the big day. The hosts in particular were very warm and welcoming, and were there for us should there have been the need for any additional help. We would definitely like to stay here again!

Very comfy bed and an excellent breakfast. Holiday Inn has a reputation for being pretty standard but I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the stay here. Would definitely stay in a Holiday Inn again now.

The accommodation was very clean on arrival. Some lovely little touches. Fresh Eggs from the hosts Chickens. Lovely biscuits. Two packets for each of us. A tasty Sour Dough fresh Loaf with local mini pots of Jams. Some Organic Butter and a pint of semi skimmed Milk, all were very welcoming. Lovely big towels and 3 for each of us. A really lovely stay. We will be back for another stay. Thank you Emily and Daniel.

The accomodation is beautifully clean and tastefully decorated, and furnished, so has a sense of calm and relaxation as soon as you enter. Welcome pack and good choice for teas and coffees, together with everything you need for a self catered break. When I visit Colchester again this will be my choice again for where to stay. Thank you again Alex and V.
