Clean and cozy

Everything was as listed….the log burner was an added feature which we were happy to use on rainy days. The location was really goid… Colchester close and historically very interesting. North of the city was Constable country… nice walks and interesting info on the artists. South we enjoyed Tiptree museum, and the Salt marshes for walking and photography. Ovreall it was everything we wished for “

Excellent accommodation well placed for local attractions, Colchester zoo is a stones throw and a must see! The village could do with a shop as there is literally nothing bar 1 pub. Shops are a drive. Loved mersea island, would stay here again Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a lovely time in 2 Bay Tree Cottages.

We had a lovely time in 2 Bay Tree Cottages. It is compact and cosy but so well considered and equipped with everything you could need. A lovely sunny space with patio garden; great walks on the doorstop and only a short drive to the dog friendly beaches at West Mersea and Walton on the Naze. Colchester only a few minutes away too. A great base to explore the local area, relax and unwind. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We enjoyed a relaxing stay! The cottage is exactly as it is described.

We enjoyed a relaxing stay! The cottage is exactly as it is described. It is perfect for two plus dog. We found it warm, clean, comfortable and generously equipped throughout. The little sitting out area is pleasant, fully enclosed and proved safe for our dog. Local amenities were a good historic pub, just around the corner and the Heath giving us lovely walks for the dog right from the door. Trevor, the owner, is friendly and helpful - but not in any way intrusive. The locals are welcoming too! Interesting places to visit nearby; don't miss the charming Burnham on Crouch.

All in all the cottage was very nice except for the sofa bed which was very uncomfortable to sit on and if there were four people staying there was no fourth seat to sit on, but I would recommend the cottage to family and friends and would stay there again if we happen to be down that way.

Lovely wee cottage, just right for a few nights' stop-over for me to work (shooting a wedding locally) and taking the opportunity to catch up with family nearby. It is very cosy, beautifully kept and well equipped. It is also quite weeny, so I would suggest that whilst it's good for 2 adults and 1 or 2 younger children, the sofa bed downstairs is not ideal for 2 adults. The roll-together was hilarious and my husband ended up sleeping better on the floor. In fact, if there are four of you, just bring an airbed instead. To be fair though it's only because our children are a little older and needed the twin bed arrangement upstairs, so we drew the short straw with the sofa bed. Having said all that, it was just what we needed as we were only staying for a few nights. Quiet and pretty location with private off-street parking and easy access to both Tiptree and Colchester. I would definitely recommend it!
