This holiday-flat is, as stated in the description, located on the first floor of a house on a main road, very small but every corner is taken advantage of so that everything could be found easily and nothing was missing. It was extremely clean, tastefully furnished and the heating could be regulated easily and worked well. The flat itself is not facing the main-road but the back and the park, which makes it much quieter than expected. The bed is very comfortable in a bedroom with two windows, the bathroom very light in white/black with a big shower, fluffy towels and a window. The tiny kitchen contains everything you could wish for and the welcome basket with biscuits/crisps/popcorn plus drinks and milk in the fridge makes it great even if you arrive late at night. The location could not be better....from the entrance door only steps to the entrance of the Promenade Park, 2 minutes away from The Hythe with the old barges on the banks of the river Chelmer, two houses next to the cute Maldon Museum in the Park, through the park you can get to the Salt Marshes Path or Coastal Path / Blackwater within minutes. The Mill Road leads directly onto High Street with many restaurants, shops and places of historical interest. Information about that and activities can be picked up at the tourist information center - very helpful!

Spotless, well laid out and very warm. Private secluded garden. Secure gated venue, would highly recommend for business or pleasure. Great location for travel to Brentwood, Basildon, Southend and Chelmsford, close to A127 and M25 but in a country setting.

This was our 2nd stay at Max's studios, this time we were in the Lodge. It was clean and welcoming, the bed is slightly firm with comfortable support. There was plenty of hot water for the shower and basic kitchen items to prepare simple meal. There was milk in the fridge. Easy to park outside the lodge. Lovely countryside views from the patio. It is easy to find with the directions, however we reminded ourselves by doing Google street car.

My husband, 4 year old daughter and I absolutely loved this gorgeous cottage. It was very homely and had everything you could possibly need! It was the perfect retreat after a busy day at Colchester Zoo. It smelled amazing as we walked in, it was clean and tidy and very warm, most people would love this but we are "hot bods" so I asked the host to turn the heat down and straight away I had a reply letting me know they had done just that which was perfect! My daughter loved the games in the cupboard and she really enjoyed her bath too! She said she wished we could have stayed longer 🙂 I messaged a few times before we arrived with questions, which they answered almost immediately and were so helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend it and visit again in the future!

No breakfast offered in this location but complimentary breakfast cereal bars and tea bags etc provided. Lovely beamed decent sized room, self controlled heating/Aircon unit, comfortable bed, good bathroom (extractor fan broken). Food in restaurant/pub very good, large variety - reasonable price for the quality and quantity but not cheap. Plenty of garden seating. Location very close to town and river walk. I would recommend this Inn.

Great location, near to where we needed to be. Very comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of parking. All you could possible need was in the kitchen, had a very homely feel. Very clean throughout. Rang before hand to ask about recommendations for Taxi and they were very helpful in providing a couple of firms. Happi Cabs were brilliant and easy to deal with.
