What our customers say about their holidays

  Pros: Number 19 is spacious, very clean, and comfortable, especially the bed.

  Car parking is very good and secure, although the layout of allocated spaces is strange. Good view from the balcony across the water to Felixstowe. Cons: The toaster is hopeless!! It would be useful if the fused switches in the kitchen were labelled as it took us a while to work out that the dish washer was on the same circuit as the plinth lighting. Buttons on the washing machine had been pushed in, but we were able to release them slightly by carefully using a knife. This should be looked at. Also, the cabinet door is attached directly to the washing machine, so when the machine moves when spinning (adjust feet?), the cabinet door goes out of allignment with the cabinet. The drainage on the shower cubicle is poor and would probably benefit from some drain unblocker liquid. My partner found the towels rough, and she resorted to using her beach towel in the bathroom. The main photo in the listing is misleading since number 19 is actually in the block behind the one shown. We were only informed of this once we had booked, although careful scrutiny of the other photos give clues to the actual location. Overall number 19 is a good place to stay, with the sand & stone beach just across a quiet road, and a reasonable bar/restaurant next door. Redoubt Fort just up the road in Harwich is well worth a visit. We enjoyed our stay and would have given 5 stars were it not for the little maintenance issues.

  When we holiday in the UK we always take extra things with us, like a sharp knife, a large frying pan extra tea towels....that sort of thing. When reading up on The Hatchery, others had stated everything had been thought of. We were sceptical, but we needn't have been! Literally anything you could want from a 'Home from Home' holiday property has been thought of and catered for! Inside the property first impressions were not just how impeccable it was but how clean it was and how beautiful it smelled and the 'Welcome Pack' wow!! this was gratefully received. So many little extras have been thought of, which all mounted up to a stress free holiday. Seriously if you needed something, it was there!! Outside is just as stunning and with plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub was a big hit and was used regularly. We had a truly wonderful week at The Hatchery and would not hesitate to come back and to recommend to everyone. The Sharpe's

  This property is exceptional. It is located in Little Henny, a very small village right in the beautiful,bucolic Essex countryside. The cottage has a small, tastefully landscaped garden. There is a large forested area that starts at the bottom of the garden. There are a several country hikes that start near the cottage.The interior of the cottage is modern, clean and spacious. Everything is new, and , again , tastefully chosen. The bathroom has a clawed bathtub , and a new, modern shower. The bedroom is located on the upper floor, and is comfortable and bright. All of the appliances and kitchenware are high quality. The host Jessica was pleasant to interact with, and and efficiant in responses. Based on my experience with similar rentals, this place is a bargain and I highly recommend it.

  We loved the cottage. It was bright and perfectly furnished and very comfortable. We loved the wall -charging torches and have ordered some to have at home. We appreciated having a bath and a walk in shower. We weren't sure how to access the wifi and the link answered our phone query. We felt the key placement was not easy for oldies like us and had we arrived in the dark, it would have been very difficult to access. The height of the hood over the hob meant that we bumped our heads and felt that was a bit dangerous. But neither the key placement nor the hood level spoiled our holiday in any way. The location was perfection for us. We loved being in easy access to so many towns and villages and houses of interest.

  The Hatchery is a great place for a weekend away. It was immaculate upon arrival and there is great attention to detail. Every little thing you can think of is provided and more. Plenty of parking available. We thought allowing the arrival of food shopping before check in was very good and the welcome hamper is the best I have ever received. Dogs are catered for and the washing stations at the back are a fantastic, well thought through add on. The garden however is not enclosed so could be a problem for some dog owners. The fire was made up ready for our arrival which was much appreciated. The owners were contactable and responded to my query in great time with effective communication. Would highly recommend.
