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.

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.
