  • "The bedrooms, bedding and towels were excellent."

    Lots of toothpaste and toothbrushes However the kitchen is poorly equipped. We had to buy spoons, frying pan roasting trays and wine glasses. The saucepans available have been scratched and rusting. The washing machine has been left fully loaded with wet linen and towels. The insides of the cupboards was dirty covered with stains and crumbs. We had no cutlery on the first night of our arrival and no instructions have been left about the hidden draw compartment. When we telephoned the agency on Sunday night, there was no reply. We had telephoned back on Monday morning and once we have stated the issues, Kevin promised us he would contact the local team and update us. That did not happen at all. Just by the pure luck, one of the workers on the camp side told us about the hidden cutlery drawer but alas - still no spoons. No washing up liquid and no basics. We had to buy tea towels , sponges, ect. The The property is lacking in basic kitchen utensils. Never book this property. Our stay has been spoiled by the lack of care and some genuine hospitality.

  • "The kitchen was far too small to cater for 8 people."

    It also lacked in the basic essentials which included bottle/tin opener, sharp knives, dessert spoons, glasses (for wine & cold drinks), baking trays, & serving plates. There were no place mats anywhere throughout the house suitable for hot food or drinks.The shower didn't work properly and the front door handle had rusted & was falling off. My grandson got locked in the toilet as the lock was faulty. There was no recycling. The beds and mattresses were comfortable and clean as was the rest of the house... Overall disappointing as I spent my Christmas eve rushing to the shops to buy the basic essentials that should have been provided in the house, & on Christmas day i was driving around Jaywick looking for sharp knife to buy so we could cut the meat!! The penknife I keep in my car for camping came in very handy...

  • "Great place to stay, very comfortable, plenty of outdoor space."

    New to being rented out and everything was sparkling. Nice touches included - toothbrushes, water bottles etc.

The property

The Farmhouse enjoys a superb situation on the outskirts of the historic village of St Osyth in Essex and near the bustling seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea.

Ideal for a large family or get-together of family and friends, the property welcomes visitors with open arms and is surrounded by lush, green fields, helping to create a real feeling of tranquillity.

Park up on the gravel driveway, step out of your car and you’re immediately captivated by the space on offer here, with a wraparound patio area which has patio furniture, all designed to help guests make the most of the rural surroundings.

Imagine chilling out on the patio drinking and dining alfresco with views across the field.

The welcome continues as you enter the property with an entrance hall inviting guests into a light and airy ground-floor space.

Here, you will find a large living/dining room which comes complete with a comfy seating area, a Smart TV and a feature fireplace, which all add up to evoke a relaxing ambience and is somewhere you can imagine spending lots of time chilling out together.

The small but perfectly formed kitchen has everything needed to be able to produce great food for guests and the dining area in the living/dining room is suitably elegant and is the perfect spot for long, leisurely dinner parties.

Whatever combination of guests there are in your party, there is sure to be a bedroom to suit, with three double bedrooms and a bunk bedroom as well as two bathrooms (a bathroom and a shower room) to complete the accommodation.

For a day out, head to Clacton-On-Sea and visit Clacton Pier which has an abundance of rides and family fun activities.

Visit St Osyth's Beach to enjoy a dog-friendly day out then head to St Osyth village for a bite to eat in one of the traditional pubs.

The Farmhouse offers guests immaculate accommodation inside and out, in a captivating setting.
