The property available is a self-contained one bedroom annex with private entrance and parking. Earlier this year (2025) is was renovated for the purpose of becoming a holiday-let. It features an open plan kitchen and living space downstairs with access to the patio from the living area and a spiral staircase leads up to the bedroom and a large bathroom. The bathroom has a full size bath and shower. The decor of the annex was chosen to be inviting, relaxing and comfortable. It features paintings by myself and my grandma, with additional textiles, colours and accessories specifically chosen to compliment the artwork. The property is contained but spacious, situated in a beautiful area and close to the university and Colchester.
Hello, I’m Sally — I live in Wivenhoe and enjoy creating a calm, comfortable space for guests to relax while visiting our lovely area near the University of Essex. I’ve recently reopened my self-contained annex for short stays while a family member is in respite care, so availability is limited until late November 2025. My goal is to offer a peaceful, private base for visitors who appreciate a home-from-home environment. I’m experienced in hospitality, responsive to messages, and always make sure the property is clean and welcoming. With contactless self check-in, private parking, and easy access to local transport, guests can enjoy a smooth and stress-free stay. I look forward to hosting respectful, considerate guests and sharing a little piece of Wivenhoe’s charm.
