“Myself, daughter and sister travelled from London for my graduation for a 2-night stay. Due to our own mistake not following directions correctly, the owners very kindly collected us from where we were in Colchester, and drove us to the accommodation. A lovely comfortable, clean lodge, with amenities provided. Beds were very comfortable, and the shower/bath facilities were great! Cosy little lodge. Penni graciously drove us herself the morning of graduation to the University which was lovely, and contributed to a wonderful day! Both hosts ensured we had everything we needed/wanted during our stay. It was definately a home from home, and you couldn't ask for better hosts. We will remember our hosts and ou stay fondly, and hope to return again in the future.”
