    The stairs are quite steep which might be worth mention!

    Central location but a wonderful hidden little gem... literally. Great find. The roof terrace was a real bonus! It was warm enough to sit out with a little glass! Very compact and well thought out. Will deffo be back when we're back in the town.

    The bed was really uncomfortable we didn’t sleep great the first night so we slept on the sofa the second night

    The terrace was beautiful with the hot tub and the lights at night topped it off. The place was spotless with everything you needed. Paul was very helpful and kind. Would recommend this place to anyone

    The only thing it was missing were teabags/ coffee and milk on arrival .. not essential but the first time we've come across it not being available so we were not prepared. Wouldn't stop us returning though. The check in instructions were slightly out of date but not a major issue.

    Lovely little house, really well presented, hot tub on roof terrace lovely added bonus and very private. All towels and bedding provided and very clean. Robes were a great touch as well. Lots to do in the area within walking distance.

    No wall clock or any sign of time in the property.

    Beautiful sweet flat. Warm luxury jacuzzi in balcony with gorgeous night lighting and privacy because owner made special fence to avoid people looking in. beach is just across the road, one minute walk if not less. flat is gorgeously decorated and Paul is easy person to contact relating any questions on property. property has all cooking tools that we didn't use at time but may be useful for others.

    We cannot fault the property

    The property was so cute! an absolute hidden gem! Everything you need, all appliances including washing machine and dishwasher and fully equipped kitchen, beautifully decorated and very clean. Added bonus is the hot tub which is amazing after a day exploring, towels and robes supplied also. TV with streaming services, lots of lovely finishing touches. Perfectly situated for exploring harwich quay. two minute walk to the water in either direction, a minute from the station, and a few minutes in the car from Dovercourt.

    Nothing really,

    Beautiful quiet secluded little place, really lovely house. Great furnishings. The owner kept in contact and would have attended to any needs if we had any. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Even the Fish and Chip shop over road was great. Harwich is a lovely sedate area with plenty of history and pubs.

    This was a very good stay as it gave us the opportunity to catch up with family in the locality.

    The bed was quite hard but that is a matter of personal taste so not too unhappy about it. A matter of concern was the bannister at the top of the stairs - it was quite wobbly and as my husband is not too steady on his feet it had the potential to cause an accident.

    Location was fine - potential to be noisy but as it was set back behind other buildings we were not troubled by traffic noise. It was great to be able to take our dog with us and he settled quickly. A minor problem with the induction hob was dealt with very quickly by the landlord who was very pleasant. I see Section 4 mentions Felixstowe South Beach when it should talk about Harwich beach which is only approx. 200 yards away and we did visit it.

    A tad more hanging space for clothes and a waste bin in the bedroom would be nice.

    Ideal location and spotlessly clean. TV and all facilities you might need are provided. Owners are very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was the cherry on the cake. Thank you for an amazing few days away.

    What didn’t I like? Having to leave, that’s it.

    The accommodation was great, lovely decor, everything we needed, fantastic hot tub on the terrace which was a great spot for sunbathing. Bottle of Prosecco left for us in the fridge was a lovely touch. Pubs and restaurants all within a short walk and enjoyed a full English at the cafe on the pier just a 5 minute walk. It was just want we wanted for a weekend away and will definitely book again.

    As soon as we walked in the door the smell of dog hit us in the face. It was a very strong smell. We didnt realise this was dog friendly really put us off. Side tables were all sticky could do with a good clean. Cutlery wasn’t cleaned properly. Fridge & freezer werent clean long black hair in the freezer. Bathroom flooded very quickly wasnt great.

    Good location, really nice touches with prosecco, hot tub was lovely. Good options on tv had Netflix which was good. Owner was absolutely lovely very friendly & helpful. Had a nice little pub down the road, fish & chip shop opposite. Further down the road you have more shops, Brewers & Maccy d’s. The other side there was a little high street.
