Amazing property, so clean, comfortable and have everything you need. Didn't want to leave to come home. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Best property we have stayed at. 14 days of very hot, sunny weather. Bonus of having the car port too.

Lovely detached barn with 3 double bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms. Very well equipped, spacious there is a utility room , extra toilet and a garden . Local pub a few minutes walk . Lots of supermarkets a few miles away . A bit disappointed that there wasn’t a welcome pack on arrival . The key box code could have been given prior to arrival .,The travel cot , didn’t have a mattress , which if we’d been told , we would have brought one . The garden is enclosed , looking over fields , but there is a snicket near the shed , which should be enclosed , as we had a 3 year old toddler . The garden was also full of nettles , which need attention. Overall it was a lovely stay and in a quiet location , perfect for exploring the local areas . I’d recommend going into Cambridge , going to the Braintree shopping outlet , going to Felixstowe for a beach day and the Colchester Zoo . Would definitely return .
