A lovely barge with a well appointed interior, good size lounge and kitchen and a comfy bed. I immediately loved it, made me want to live on a boat! What was also a really good feature was the outside space up on the deck, I couldn’t really utilise it as the weather was poor, but I did think it was very good. The property had everything you could need, a little home away from home. I had my puppy with me and he had a merry time, he especially enjoyed one of the doggy biscuits that were thoughtfully there in the kitchen alongside some dog bowls.

Good day, My stay at Colchester City Charm exceeded my expectations. My reason for being in Colchester was to get my son settled in the University of Essex. The host was welcoming, they treated us like family.

Romantic and secluded it was the perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend away for two. Room was so cosy and warm, deceivingly roomy and the yurt was fully stocked with blankets, coffees and board games we took full advantage of! There was campfire equipment provided which we enjoyed very much as we ordered some pizzas and sat by the fire. The owners were very friendly and provided all information we needed via text and we had a nice chat with the land owner who recommended a lovely local pub to eat at. Could not recommend enough.

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!
