Lodge Cottage Reviews

The property chose was perfect for our annual friends get together. There cottage was tastefully decorated, well equipped, warm and comfortable. We enjoyed the location with easy walking to the coastline, a shop and a pub unfortunately closed on our weekend! and a short drive to other places of interest. There was bit of traffic noise from the village road, but given everything else the great company and fantastic property that we were in, it paleed into insignificance. No hesitation in returning!
Philip
The property is well furnished throughout & equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen and more we were able to make and eat a cooked breakfast for 6 with plenty of room. Very comfortable bedrooms with plenty of space to spread out, the downstairs bedroom & shower room is perfect for elderly parents or those with mobility issues. Lovely outdoor garden and spaces, brotherinlaw loved the dark skies with no light pollution for stargazing and spotting shooting stars. Plenty of offroad car parking too. Although the property backs onto a country road with limited road noise, the property itself was excellent and the passing traffic doesn't detract from the property in any way. An excellent base for us to enjoy a family wedding in Harwich and would be great for exploring the local area further. Thank you for a excellent property. Phil & Lin.
Beautiful holiday home with plenty of space. Decor and furnishings to a high standard. Beds comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need.
We absolutely loved our stay at Lodge Cottage. It was by far the most beautiful place we have stayed in the UK. It is stunning, very clean and the owners had thought of everything. Perfect for 2 families, with 2 pre teen and a 7 year old. Very well equipped kitchen. Garden a great size, kids spent ages playing football outside. Previous reviews mention a blind spot pulling onto the main road but we had no problems whatsoever. Great location for days out. Very reasonably priced for Easter weekend. Lovely welcoming text from the owners. We just wished we had booked it for longer, so will be coming back very soon!
A lovely place to stay, really spacious and well equipped. The beds were really comfy, the lodge was clean and modern. A great base for our week away.
Vanessa

Claire

Samantha
Absolutely geogeous I would 100 recommend to anybody. Nicely furnished very comfortable beds and bed linen.they have honestly thought of everything.good for family's as has 3bedrooms suitable for any one.nice size garden with seating our dog loved it.i appreciated how much the owner loves the cottage cause we did to.didnt want to leave
Beautifully appointed and well equipped Another single bed would make it perfect Found the road difficult to get out of completely blind exit We had a fantastic week but maybe that was the weather. .. Dovercourt in the rain is not so appealing...but if you want peace and quiet and always somewhere to park even on a hot Saturday in August the this is the place for you
An immaculate, beautiful cosy home for our 4 generations getaway. Perfect for baby right through to Great Nanna! Including our pooches. Amazing facilities inside and out and would recommend to anyone wanting a luxurious break as a family or group of friends. Plenty to see and go to for a day trip nearby or a little further and a perfect plush place to come back to xx
Elizabeth
We loved staying here, it was in a good location and the house was well equipped, clean and modern! Only negatives would be not enough toilet roll provided and the downstairs bedroom didn't feel very sound proof from the noisy and busy road.
Stephen
Lodge Cottage was a perfect home from home for a weekend away with friends. Its finished to such a high standard and we felt instantly relaxed and comfortable. Its also easy to get to, which was important as we live in different parts of the country. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, wed 100 recommend!
A lovely wellequipped cottage, clean and comfortable. The garden is nice and secure for dogs. Molly loved it. The owner provided a very nice welcome basket plus basics like tea, coffee and milk great after queues in the Friday traffic. The location is good although entering and leaving the driveway can be a bit scary because its on a bend with some traffic exceeding the speed limit. There is a good local butcher in Ramsey village, where they also have homemade cakes and a fish counter at weekends.
We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay and it really felt like a home from home. There was everything there that you wanted or needed especially with an 11 month old. The hosts of the house were amazing, very friendly and easy to contact should you need anything. I highly recommend this property it was outstanding.
The cottage was very clean, was super comfortable and had everything we could possibly need or want. My family and I had a great time. Thank you
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lodge Cottage, which is exceptionally furnished with all top quality fixtures and fittings. The garden is secure and excellent for dogs with walks right opposite the cottage, approximately 2 miles to the beach. Views of the sea can be seen from some windows in the cottage. Little Oakley has a small convenience store and is within a short drive into Harwich. Overall we highly recommend staying at Lodge Cottage, it really is a fantastic property, exceptionally clean and exudes luxury. We hope to stay here again.
