    Bathroom, in particular the toilet space was small.

    Idyllic. Very serene, peaceful, quite. All amenities are readily available. If you require privacy and me time. you can't go wrong. Pity I don't know how to fish, would have been a good experience learning.

    Nothing really, the toilet area was small for my 6' 2" stature. So had to sit down to use it.

    Lovely, very nice pod with very comfy double bed. Sofa, table and chairs. Chairs on the veranda. Little kitchen with a sink, kettle, toaster, microwave, plates and cutlery. Coffee, tea and a bottle of fresh tasty milk in the mini-fridge. Wall mounted TV with remote and WiFi. En-suite shower, sink and toilet. Towels and toiletries were provided. Your choice of bread is provided with butter. The lakes are nice and peaceful, the noise of the A12 is ignorable. The five pods and the breakfast area are decorated by numerous bird sculptures. I was in Kingfisher. The staff were all very helpful. Only 45 minutes walk from Witham Railway Station.

    Lovely place for a short stay in a pod. Might be a bit of a tight squeeze for some people.

    Constant background daytime noise from A12. No evening meals.

    Convenient because of close proximity to A12. Lovely site with great view from Pod 5.

    slightly cramped, a larger person would definitely not be able to use the toilet. I would recommend putting some water in the fridge, as it was unclear whether the water from the tap was drinkable.

    it was clean, comfortable and cosy. There was everything you could possibly need. the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful.

    Well equipped, comfortable pods in a peaceful waterside location with kind & welcoming host
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Lake View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The only things I'd change would be: a) how damp it felt, but I guess its difficult to balance ventilation with keeping the pods warm at this time of the year. b) I was in the end pod furthest from the WiFi signal and so might be a problem for anyone who required high speeds

    The cabins were well furnished and had everything I needed for a few days stay. I arrived after the kitchen had closed but the host very thoughtfully offered me a sausage bap rather than the pot noodle i'd grabbed en route. The waterside location was peaceful and relaxing, and I slept pretty well.

    Nothing at all, was exactly what we were looking for

    Loved the remote location, if you want peace and quite this is definitely the place to be. Very cosy little pod, comfy bed and everything you need. Even got to see a sky full of stars which was a lovely little bonus.

    I am not from the area and didn't realize that although it is only a mile from town, it isn't really a walkable mile into town, as the property is down a tight one lane road off of a busy road without a sidewalk. I didn't rent a car and I felt isolated.

    I love the setting because I like to rise with the sun and walk. Many paths throughout the property and beautiful birds and plants. The pods are very well-built and cozy. Love the deck and watching the birds. Friendly staff and good food at the cafe!

    Me and my other half had a beautiful time at colemans cottage ! The pods are layed out perfectly filled with everything you need for a nice and easy brakeaway. The pod was lovely clean and tidy and the bed was so comfortable! The pods are perfect for watching the stars at night on the balcony all cuddled up . There are three fishing lakes that you can walk around watching all the fish swim and splash . The staff are amazing from a warm welcome when we arrived to serving us the yummiest breakfast . We loved our little pod we will definitely be back !

    It was fine for us but you might find the bathroom a bit small if you are tall as there is a sloping ceiling.

    Location of pods overlooking the fishing lakes. Everything we needed was in the Pod

    Would have liked microwave higher up .. Small bin /bag for teabags /bit and bobs in kitchen area would have been useful - 2 tea towels would have been useful.

    Lovely setting and great for us as we had travelled a long way .. there was a bit of road noise but that faded depending on the wind direction and time of day...We slept like logs and were very impressed with how warm it was. As a larger male we worried how he would find the shower and toilet ..but actually it was fine - we didnt feel cramped at all.. We had both beds made up. He liked being able to fish and then simply walk home shower and fall in to bed.. There was a local Tesco nearby which was useful but also the food on site was ok , we enjoyed breakfast and then managed with help of microwave. There are sometimes a lot of people fishing but you couldnt tell as site was lovely and quiet - so nice to walk round the lakes and just chill out..great weekend get away from it space ..and I suspect quite nice in spring and autumn as so cosy.

    Breakfast was great with a huge variety of food and large portions . The setting was beautiful only marginally dampened by the hum of the A12 nearby ! This location is stunning and I could happily have spent more time there . the Pods have everything you need - The power shower was fabulous . It was the best nights sleep we have had in months !
