Mrs Child
August 2019

“Solitude was a really home from home.”

Comfortable, clean and cosy with everything provided that you could possibly need while on holiday. The hosts were the nicest people you could want to meet and nothing was too much trouble for them, very kind and attentive without being too intrusive.

The hosts were the nicest people you could want to meet and nothing was too much trouble for them, very kind and attentive without being too intrusive. Excellent central location, 20 minutes drive to the coastal towns (Mersa Island, Clacton, Manningtree etc) beautiful scenery. Hope to return in the future.

Mr Bygrave June 2019

“We couldn't have found a better base for our Essex holiday than Solitude, from the warm welcome from the owners, the welcome pack, comfortable and clean rooms, very helpful owners if we had problems, we simply could not fault anything.”

We would not hesitate to book Solitude again if we were to visit the area.

- Mr Bygrave, June 2019
Mr Francis April 2019

“As OAP's we found the chairs in the sitting room rather low and difficult to get up from.”

Otherwise everything else was very comfortable.

Mrs Clarke January 2019

“Amazing welcome from the hosts and Sparticus!”

Loved the cupcakes, thank you. Fabulous cottage, every thing needed for our week.

Mrs Cantes October 2018

“The owners were very friendly and helpful.”

They provided a lovely foodie welcome pack and the accommodation was spacious, well kept and furnished and bright and modern. The bungalow was privately situated but close enough to major road links enabling us to visit many places of attraction in a short distance, eg RHS Hyde Hall, Beth Chatto garden, Nation Trust properties, craft centres. The countryside and villages, particularly over the Suffolk border, were beautiful. Fortunately the weather during the whole week was glorious.

- Mrs Cantes, October 2018
Mrs Campbell September 2017

“Absolutely excellent accommodation.”

Really clean and oh so comfortable. In an ideal area for visiting all the Constable sites and beautiful villages such as Lavenham and Halstead.

Mrs Chandler March 2017

“The hosts Caroline & Michael were very welcoming.”

They were there in the background if we had any questions but respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed the area & small picturesque villages nearby.

Miss Napolitano September 2016

“The cottage was excellent and the owners really nice and helpful when we picked up the keys.”

A particular nice touch was home made cakes, a bottle of milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge. It had everything we wanted and more. Very nice personal touches throughout. I would unhesitatingly recommend this property. The surrounding countryside is stunning.

- Miss Napolitano, September 2016
Mr Evans August 2016

“We had a great time the location was good we did not have to travel far to get to places of interest and had a relaxing time.”

The one bad thing my wife was bitten by the owners dog on the day we were leaving.

- Mr Evans, August 2016
Mr Greenbank July 2016

“The owners were friendly and helpful.”

The property is in a lovely, peaceful rural setting at the end of a lane surrounded by open fields and there was good access to local roads to get to nearby shops, towns and villages. A light, clean and airy cottage overlooking the owners well maintained gardens. There was a private and ample parking area and a good pub nearby with freshly cooked and tasty food.
