Cottage on the beach

With its own beachside garden and breathtaking uninterrupted views of the wildest of Essex creeks and marshes, the cottage is only to be reached on foot atop a sea wall. The perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The last in a row of westerly facing cottages, perfect to watch the evening sun go down . From the front garden or even laying in bed, watch the tide slip in and out, the fishing boats come and go and live, for a while, in a world moving at a slower pace.

Heath Hollow Hideaway Hot Tub Retreat for Two

No ordinary Airbnb , a truly unique escape, oozing with quirk and charm and hidden surprises. Nestled on the edge of ancient woodland, Heath Hollow is an enchanted haven of peace and tranquillity. Each changing hour brings something new, morning bird song, to the evening cries of the woodland creatures. The close proximity of Colchester Zoo, often brings noises of a less indigenous nature, with the roar of a lion often heard at dusk.
