Description

This special, Grade II-listed cottage is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit to the beautiful historic, side town of Harwich, Essex.

Driftwood Cottage is a a charming fisherman's cottage located in the old martime town, where you will find a vast array of restaurants, pubs, wine bars and cafes to name a few!

Enjoying characterful features throughout, with fish and ropes to reflect the seaside theme and a peaceful location set along a no through road, this one-bedroom cottage is ideal for a couple seeking a hideaway.

Step inside to discover the open-plan living space, with beamed ceilings and an electric woodburning stove; here you can unwind with a cup of tea in hand in front of the Smart TV.

Rustle up tasty treats in the compact kitchen, courtesy of the electric hob and settle down at the dining table for a romantic meal with your other half.

On warm evenings, chat outside in the enclosed courtyard to relish the sea breeze as you bask in the sun on the garden chairs.

As the evening draws to a close, retire upstairs where you can make use of the quiet reading spot on the landing or rest your muscles in the bathroom for a soak amongst the bubbles.

When sleep calls, put on your pyjamas and climb into the double bed, with a TV for a movie night beneath the covers.

Awaken with a refreshing stroll to the promenade to soak in the coastal sights and sample delicious eateries or grab a crisp pint from a friendly bar.

If you fancy a day trip why not take the short journey on the foot ferry from the quay to Shotley Peninsular, where you can take your bikes or hike along wildlife rich trails with superb views.

You can also take a trip to Felixstowe via the ferry, here you can expect rich heritage, award-winning gardens, a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants and more glorious sands for you to enjoy.

Just a short walk away is a sandy beach, so pack a towel and a picnic for an afternoon out, or if that's not for you, stay dry on land and explore the sprawling Wrabness Woods and the Stour Estuary.

Visit the historical market town of Colchester, here you can see much-loved animals at Colchester Zoo, tour the Normal Colchester Castle or splurge out on a shopping spree with a wide selection of high street stores.

For a special escape with your better half, choose Driftwood Cottage.

We had a comfortable stay at the cottage and slept well.

Great location. Wanted for nothing. Always able to find parking nearby after a day out. Used the train to visit along the Mayflower line and Colchester.

I loved the quirky nature of this lovely 18th century cottage.

The retrieval of the keys and the storing of them after my visit was a little complicated and I had to input the code several times to open the box. Harwich Old Town is lovely and I am determined to return next year during some warmer months!

Super stay.

Lovely bed, I had seven nights good sleep. Thanks for the chocolate and mulled wine! The shower pipe hose needs replacing. It was detached (not me!) and everything else was perfect. regards CT
