We enjoyed an excellent stay at The Granary in advance of our wedding. The property was perfect for our needs and was a very useful base to help us prepare for the big day. The hosts in particular were very warm and welcoming, and were there for us should there have been the need for any additional help. We would definitely like to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Cottage of Content in Wivenhoe. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location was ideal for us—peaceful, charming, and perfectly placed for exploring the area. We slept really well, and the whole place was spotless and beautifully kept. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, cosy, and well-located stay in Wivenhoe.
