What our customers say about their holidays

  • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

    What a wonderful place this is. Located in a beautiful, historic, semi-rural part of Essex just outside Colchester, quiet but just 20mins from the heart of city and with other small towns and villages nearby. The property has been very sensitively renovated, to create functional, comfortable holiday accommodation that retains its historical characteristics. Inside, there is more space that one might imagine with two receptions, a large, well-equipped kitchen and downstairs WC, plus two large bedrooms, both with large ensuite bath/shower rooms. The beds are really comfortable. All that was missing for us was a full-length mirror and hooks on the back of the doors (hoping the owner will add these!). We cook every day and found the kitchen had everything we needed (although no salt/pepper that we could find - please add this!). The oven and hob were clean and really easy to use. Outside, the space is extensive and private and the inclusion of a hot tub is very welcome (staff check it daily on weekdays but are friendly and unobtrusive). Ideal for relaxing and also as a base for exploring the local area. Just half an hour away from the lovely beach at Mersea Island. There are another five lodges on the site but they are some distance away from Crows Hall, although as guests of the estate we were free to roam the entire site, which includes a fishing lake, which we really appreciated. We have stayed in many self-catering places and this is one of the best.

    On first impression a very nice spacious unit but soon realised that the one and only wall cupboard with crockery and so forth was to high so could only just reach the bottom shelf.

    Not enough room for food storage as there was only one small floor cupboard. Not all people can afford the luxury of dining out all the time, specially now.. Not enough work surface area as taken up by small stand alone freezer, despite there beeing plenty of room for an upright fridge freezer 500 or 600cm at the end of the unit. This would have freed up space for a more accessable wall cupboard and a floor standing food cupboard, plus by moving the washing machine into the very large wet room, a dishwasher could be installed as draining area not sutable. Anyway who wants to do washing up when on holiday. The shower room is first class and the bed was very comfatable. However all of the seats of the lounge furniture have collapsed requiring a cusion to support the seats. The TV is old fashioned, not smart type and very poor as unable to get ITV and had to spend a lot of time going through unusable channels trying to find a watchable one. We did speak to the owner who is a very nice approachable person

    We had a really nice week at Flink's Barn, and the owners Christine & John were lovely.

    Watching the sunset over the field with sheep in the evenings with birdsong was tranquil. We had lovely days catching up with our family and friends we hadn't seen in 3 yrs. Thaxted has many memories for us as a family, my late father in law painted the windmill around 1936 which had sails then. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful part of Essex, which has hidden gems. Flink's Barn is well situated for exploring the countryside, and interesting places to visit like Colchester, Saffron Waldron, Lavenham, go for a boat ride at Bishop's Stortford. Flink's Barn was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very welcoming. We had a lovely welcome pack of chocolate biscuits, fresh farm eggs, milk, tea, and a beautiful vase of fresh flowers and herbs that made me feel at home. Also very impressed with the rack of spices and herbs and cooking oil, it certainly felt like home from home. Thank you Christine & John for a lovely stay, our trip back to our former home county has been memorable.

    LOVELY COTTAGE WITH LOVELY OWNERS We have just returned from a lovely week staying at Flink's Barn.

    We had no issues with the property and would happily return. The owners Christine and John are very friendly and considerate. Flink's Barn was very clean and Christine had provided a lovely welcome package, including tea, milk and biscuits, perfect after our drive to the cottage. We found the cottage both spacious and very comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for the two of us. We also found the bed very comfortable and spotlessly clean towels and linen for your use. We noted a previous guest had an issue with the TV, but we had no problems and received perfect reception via Freeview on a flat screen TV. Looking at the guest book, it shows many returning visitors to the cottage and many favourable comments left by guests, positive testaments indeed. Sheep in the field and perfect sunsets with bird song reminds you of the lovely countryside setting. There is also a welcoming pub about a two minute walk away and the village of Thaxted is only a few miles.

  • Caroline - Verified booking

    Christine and John were excellent hosts.

    Flink's Barn was the perfect spot for me to perform my necessary self-isolation upon arrival in the UK. It is situated on a 30 acre farrm with chickens, geese, horses and the River Chelmer runs along the edge of the property. Christine was readily available to answer any questions. Christine knew I would be working remotelyfor the duration of my stay she even put a second desk in, prior to my arrival and without me asking, to give me more workspace. The space is well laid out and very comfortable and clean. Fresh farm eggs, biscuits, tea and coffee were all complimentary upon arrival. I couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay. I will definitely be back should the need arise.
