    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Elaine - Verified booking

      Beautifully appointed property, tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

      We all found our beds really soft and comfortable - although a sheet had been placed between the duvet and bottom sheet, which on 3 of the beds was very crumpled up and twisted and meant having to re-make the bed. The dining chairs were the most comfortable I've ever known and meant sitting over long luxurious meals was a dream. We felt the kitchen could have been better stocked with essential equipment - there was no whisk, so whipping cream and eggs with just a fork was rather laborious! There was no ice cube making tray/container so we just filled up plastic boxes with water and once frozen, had to smash it up! There were only 6 mugs, no cups so meant having to run bowls of washing up water or putting the dishwasher on every time we had hot drinks was a bit of a waste of water! Ideally I'd recommend at least 12 to 18 mugs to allow for enough hot drinks throughout the day! When we arrived and began hunting for mugs, we found them in the dishwasher along with some other crockery, which hadn't been emptied! On the whole, we had a wonderful weekend and the weather enabled us to enjoy sitting out in the lovely garden - although, it would have been nice to have some seat cushions as the wooden chairs were very hard and a bit worn/mossy and a parasol would have been useful. The only entrance to the property had a very high step, which a couple of us less fit ladies found quite a struggle to climb up - a smaller step outside the door would make it safer and easier. Having ground floor bedroom and shower room and being so spacious inside, makes the property ideal for a wheelchair user, if only the entrance could be re-jigged - just a thought for the future as it is so difficult to find suitable properties for the physically challenged! A lovely holiday cottage and we would go back if the entrance was easier!

    • Sanya - Verified booking

      The bedrooms, bedding and towels were excellent.

      Lots of toothpaste and toothbrushes However the kitchen is poorly equipped. We had to buy spoons, frying pan roasting trays and wine glasses. The saucepans available have been scratched and rusting. The washing machine has been left fully loaded with wet linen and towels. The insides of the cupboards was dirty covered with stains and crumbs. We had no cutlery on the first night of our arrival and no instructions have been left about the hidden draw compartment. When we telephoned the agency on Sunday night, there was no reply. We had telephoned back on Monday morning and once we have stated the issues, Kevin promised us he would contact the local team and update us. That did not happen at all. Just by the pure luck, one of the workers on the camp side told us about the hidden cutlery drawer but alas - still no spoons. No washing up liquid and no basics. We had to buy tea towels , sponges, ect. The The property is lacking in basic kitchen utensils. Never book this property. Our stay has been spoiled by the lack of care and some genuine hospitality.

    • Susan - Verified booking

      The kitchen was far too small to cater for 8 people.

      It also lacked in the basic essentials which included bottle/tin opener, sharp knives, dessert spoons, glasses (for wine & cold drinks), baking trays, & serving plates. There were no place mats anywhere throughout the house suitable for hot food or drinks.The shower didn't work properly and the front door handle had rusted & was falling off. My grandson got locked in the toilet as the lock was faulty. There was no recycling. The beds and mattresses were comfortable and clean as was the rest of the house... Overall disappointing as I spent my Christmas eve rushing to the shops to buy the basic essentials that should have been provided in the house, & on Christmas day i was driving around Jaywick looking for sharp knife to buy so we could cut the meat!! The penknife I keep in my car for camping came in very handy...

    • Alison - Verified booking

      Pros: Fantastic property, I thought a fisheye lens had been used for the photos but no, it's huge!

      The promenade and beach are literally just across the road. Beach is sandy with the tide coming right in to the sea wall to would be great for sandcastles. Sea is shallow a long way out so safer than many. There are both steps and slopes down to the beach. Cons: The door into the entrance porch is really difficult to open despite having received instructions by text just before we arrived. Luckily the man from the upstairs flat came down to help us. After that my partner was able to open the door but it was completely impossible for me. This really needs sorting out or someone could be either locked in or out!

      38 The Parade is a very nice modern apartment that is situated usefully within a short walk of both an Aldi and M&S foods, ideal for self catering.

      There are lots of pubs and cafes also within a short stroll. The lounge is lit up by morning sunshine, and you only have to cross the promenade to be able to get a coffee on by the sea, waves can be heard as the Parade is not busy with traffic. There is a smart TV and large comfy sofa, we enjoyed evenings out and in. Walton-on-the-naze has a long Promenade which is lovely to walk along, and lots of traditional seaside activities, as well as the Naze tower and the SSSI CLIFF walk. We also found Walton to be a great base to explore the surrounding Essex and South Suffolk Coasts, as well as Colchester
