“After an 8 hour car journey almost completely in rain we arrived to find this really lovely cottage.”

It was easy to find, warm and there was a freshly made Victoria sandwich cake, fresh bread and eggs, cheese and a bottle of wine. The cottage was also adequately supplied with tea and coffee and fresh milk.

It was easy to find, warm and there was a freshly made Victoria sandwich cake, fresh bread and eggs, cheese and a bottle of wine. The cottage was also adequately supplied with tea and coffee and fresh milk. Everything we required so we could just relax. If there was one drawback I would have preferred a washing machine instead of a dishwasher. However, this did not in any way spoil our stay.

- Mr Hewitt, November 2019
“The accommodation was excellent.”

The rooms were spacious and provided a homely and comfortable setting. The enclosed garden was very much appreciated by our dogs, as well as ourselves. Every need was provided for. There was welcome set of items to exceed our expectations, including bread, butter, cheese and eggs, as well as wine and a home made cake. There was a bunch of flowers in the sitting room. The village and surroundings are lovely and the Fleece pub is welcoming with good food and friendly staff and customers. We could not have asked for more.

- Mrs Bennett, November 2019
“We were not expecting there to be a generous welcome food pack for us with a lovely home made cake.”

This may be the fault of my husband who made the booking who didn't tell me. Unfortunately we brought the basic food ourselves and as our visit was to attend a large family weekend we didn't spend too much time there, but we managed the prosecco so Thankyou we had a lovely comfortable stay

- Mr Burfitt, November 2019
“The location and the friendliness of the village Accommodation was very comfortable excellent welcome pack”

- Mrs Perrin, October 2019
“The cottage was fantastic very comfortable and well provided for, except the lack of a washing machine, this could have replaced the dishwasher that was there .”

This was a minor thing but would have helped on a very wet Sunday The cottage was perfectly positioned to be able to get to places like Frinton-On-Sea to Bury St Edmunds The village was also one of the most friendly we have been to, and if you have dogs ,want good food and company then a visit to the Fleece Hotel is a must,the landlord Aran makes you fill most welcome.

- Mr Beckett, October 2019
“Second time at this cottage and just as enjoyable as the first.”

- Mr Hargreaves, September 2019
“The comprehensive welcome pack was excellent, including the home make cake and fresh eggs.”

Throughout the cottage was very well equipped and comfortable and the garden was lovely. The only criticisms are the bathroom and parking. In the bathroom the handbasin was very, very small and shallow and the loo seat had a mind of its own. Parking in the allocated bay was impractical except for a very small car. However on street parking was fairly easy. The local pub, The Fleece, was excellent and served delicious food and was dog friendly.

- Mr Mortlock, September 2019
“Valirie's bungalow was absolutely lovely.”

The 3 of us and 2 dog's had a really relaxing holiday.I could have taken the bed home,so comfy.The bungalow was in a lovely position,and the garden and surrounding walks were brilliant,such a peaceful part of the country.I would definitely recommend.Only draw back their wasn't a going away cake as well as a welcome one so yummy !

- Mr Roberts, September 2019
“The owner provides a lovely welcome pack, home made cake, bread, butter, cheese, milk, prosecco, which is very generous.”

I forgot to leave a note of thanks & write in the visitors book as we had to leave the property on Thursday to make an unexpected appointment at home early on Friday. Boxford is very quaint & very quiet indeed, handy to have two shops a few doors away. The Fleece pub in the village is ok, but better is the Fox & Hounds a lovely walk through the corn field (good footpath !) to Groton, small unspoilt country pub with very reasonably priced menu and even sells ice creams for the walk back ! We returned rested.

“Parking is difficult if you have a large car.”

- Rev Fawcett, July 2019
“We had a great week and were so pleased to find that the garden truly was totally enclosed allowing our dog to roam with no possibility of getting out.”

So often the gardens are advertised as completely enclosed but turn out not to be. The garden was lovely to relax in and we had the best weather we have ever had on holiday.to enjoy it. There were two minor issues in that the place was infested with flies. we have no idea were they came from but a can of spray put that right. Also, we found good walks for the dog but we were not confident in getting to some walks because to get to the footpaths, which relied on walking on a fairly busy road with no pavement and a rather frisky dog . However, that was just us, others may not find that a problem.

Yes lovely cottage and wonderful welcome pack especially the home cake - all instructions for keys etc were absolutely fine we would definitely recommend to others

- Mrs May, May 2019
“All mostly very good, the bathroom wasn't really up to standards of the rest of the cottage (but everything worked) and the cooker/hob looked brand new but was a high-tech nightmare to operate (maybe that's why it looks brand new).”

...! Cottage was very dog friendly with a good safe garden and the big conservatory was excellent. Nice welcome pack, comfy beds and a great pub 15mins walk up the road. Overall would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Gould, May 2019
“We returned home today and by 5pm we have booked again!”

Fantastic property.

- Ms Farmer, April 2019
“Lovely stay at this cottage in a quiet location.”

The conservatory was so relaxing to read in with a cup of tea, and the cottage generally had all the facilities you would need, we really couldn’t ask for more. I agree with other other reviewers the water pressure is a bit low and it took a few minutes to work out the buttons on the oven but this certainly didn’t spoil our holiday. The cottage has is its own designated parking spot, when we arrived at night it was a little tricky to park our estate but we soon got used to it during our stay. Definitely would consider going back.

- Mrs Whittell, April 2019
“An excellent little cottage in a quiet and secluded position close to the centre of an attractive village .”

Comfortable and pet friendly . Hope to return .

- Mr Budd, March 2019
“Lovely holiday.”

Best welcome pack we've ever received - very thoughtful. Really nice cottage, everything we needed. Just a couple of negatives: Hot water pressure very poor. Parking difficult and would be a real issue if you have a big car.

- Mrs Woolford, February 2019
“This was a lovely roomy ,clean and warm cottage in a lovely village that was in the middle of a lot of interesting places.”

The furthest we had to travel from the cottage was 19 miles.The garden was safe and large enough for our 3 dogs. The welcome pack was second to none ,excellent ,and so well thought out, and very much Appreciated. Good dogs walks from the cottage,and a lovely one to Flatford alongside the river.( do not miss that one).we drove to Dedham ,parked there and then walked to Flatford. The owner was nearby if needed ,but never bothered you if not. Highly recommend this cottage . Kay and John. Lincolnshire.

- Mrs Batterham, February 2019
“We throughly enjoyed our stay through the New Year in our accommodation.”

We have family and friends in Colchester and entertained all of them in our cottage during our stay. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped. The living areas are bright, spacious and cosy in the evenings. The festive Christmas decorations were unexpected and beautiful. The bedrooms are HUGE and tastefully furnished. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable too. Our two beagles Oscar and Olive loved their stay too. There are many wonderful walks a short distance from the property. Their favourite walk was the woods and river trail. We also visited West Mersea and walked all morning along the beach. We highly recommend this property. It was a perfect base for us.

- Mrs Henfrey, December 2018
“The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable.”

Only quibble was the complicated equipment. The cooker and hob were very difficult to work out how to use and the microwave kept stopping after only a few seconds so was a bit annoying. Otherwise we had a great time. We were warm and happy and had a lovely Xmas there. The welcome pack was excellent and exceeded expectations. The owner had worked hard to make the cottage Christmassy.

- Mrs Langan, December 2018
“Such a lovely cottage, Very cozy, love Y to be able to take your dogs, enclos d garden for them too.”

, heating fabulous and instant. Everything you could ask for and supplied. Welcome pack is amazing too Well worth a visit and will return Down side , side gate opens the wrong way so you fall off the pavement and would benefit being a solid gate too.

- Mrs Wilkinson, November 2018
“We had a fantastic break.”

It was lovely to be able to take our dogs with us. The cottage was in a beautiful location, and the cottage itself exceeded our expectations. We had a welcome pack on arrival. We wanted for nothing.

- Mrs Matthews, November 2018
“This lovely cottage in Boxford, Surrey had everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday.”

We arrived after a long journey to find a wonderful welcome pack waiting for us and the cottage was lovely and warm. The large secure garden was perfect for our Golden Retriever and we enjoyed sitting in the conservatory especially in the amazing rocking chair! The village itself was within walking distance and had its own shop and plenty of places to walk. Boxford is ideally placed for visiting many dog friendly places so we would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Williamson, September 2018
“The cottage was as advertised and the welcome package was a lovely added extra, a real personal touch that made us feel immediately at home.”

The only downside to our stay was the renovation work next door which started early each day, waking us at dawn and upsetting the dogs.

- Miss O'kane, August 2018
“The cottage had a lovely homely feel, bright and airy.”

Liked having easy-care carpets throughout especially to stop the dog slipping. Excellent welcome pack. Would have liked garden chairs and, as everyone says, a "normal" basin in the bathroom! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thought it was good value for money.

- Miss Greenland, August 2018
“Super welcome pack.”

Cottage quiet,and peaceful.Very spacious and well equipped.Very nice friendly village. All in all a very pleasant week and would definitely return.

- Mr Hargreaves, June 2018
“The property was very welcoming, light and airy and very comfortable.”

The welcome pack of homemade cake, wine, milk, bread etc was a lovely surprise. Myself, husband and my Mother-in-Law plus my 2 dogs had a lovely stay, Libby and Ana (the doggies) loved the welcome treats and loved playing in the garden. In short a lovely time was had by all and very sad to leave and hopefully will come back for another stay. Would recommend this property.

- Mrs Ward, June 2018
“The bungalow was very comfortable and very dog friendly.”

Perfect location in the village with all the amenities you need including 3 pubs which all served food and 2 of which were dog friendly. The only downside to the property was the hot water pressure, but this is not a complaint. Would definitely recommend.

Very clean comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need and the best welcome pack we have ever had in a very pretty area

- Mrs Williams, May 2018
“. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The owner left a very generous Welcome Pack and although the weather left a lot to be desired we could just sit back in the conservatory and enjoy watching the many different species of birds visiting the garden”

.Once again we had a very relaxing and peaceful holiday, we have been before and plan to return

- Mrs Goodyer, April 2018
“It was like home from home with every piece of equipment in the kitchen that we could have needed.”

The welcome pack was second to none with home made bread and rolls, butter, cheese, milk, fresh eggs, a home made cake and a bottle of Prosecco apart from tea, coffee and sugar. We would definately recommend this cottage to anyone and everyone. The local Fleece Hotel does the most fantastic food, we ate there more than once and we could take our dog there too. All in all it was one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

- Mrs Sulter, March 2018

We had a wonderful holiday a nice enclosed garden for the dogs lots of local amenities on the doorstep a lovely welcome pack Valerie the owner was very helpful lots of country walks we can't wait to go and stay again

- Mrs Colville, March 2018
“The cottage was clean, warm and very well equipped.”

All consumables were provided and the welcome pack was amazing (including wine and a lovely home made cake). It was only a short walk to the village pubs, shop, and nice country walks, plus it was ideal for visiting local areas. We would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mr Trace, February 2018
“Absolutely loved our stay.”

Attention to detail was fantastic. Homemade cake and a bottle of champagne (we were staying for New Year) were left for us as well as a pack of dog treats. Such a nice touch. And the fresh eggs were delicious! Lovely location in the centre of the village but away from the road so quiet and safe for the dog. If I were to be picky - only one thing would have made it Perfect - a more comfortable mattress or a mattress topper. The one on the bed was a bit too firm for me - but I realise this is a personal preference.

- Miss Taylor, December 2017
“Fantastic cottage, warm, well equipped, comfortable, the best cottage we have been too so far.”
