Like home from home & very comfortable. Lots of extras provided. Eg bread, milk, tea. Street parking a little difficult but owner had sorted parking arrangements with a nearby local business. Good location to explore Essex coast.

Beautiful little cottage, hosts were amazing in their communication,very welcoming and had everything you can need to make your stay comfortable.

This cottage was perfect. It was very clean. All the little extras that are included are very much appreciated and there was much more than we expected, even dog towels to dry your pet in case you don't have any. St Osyth is a lovely village, very peaceful and we found some good dog walks and is only a short drive to Clacton and Colchester. The garden is very secure as our dog is only little but there was nowhere for him to get out. The owners were very helpful and we hope to stay again.

Had a lovely stay here for 2 nights despite the awful weather. The cottage was clean, homely and everything you need. Right down to brand new toothbrushes. Communication with the owners was fantastic. Only downfall for me was the noise of passing traffic. Although not terribly busy was still quite loud even of a night, I am a very light sleeper though Beautiful walks and short distance to beach.

Lovely property, nice little extras (milk, bread, cereal, orange juice) Hosts very easy to get hold of. Would definitely stay again

Really lovely cottage , clean and well looked after . Good garden as well A short walk from the village . . Best to have a car .

Everything about the cottage was wonderful. Lovely extra touches such as wine in fridge along with everyday essentials - milk, bread etc. Excellent value for money with all bed linen and towels included. The robes and toiletries made it feel like a hotel stay! Nicely placed for exploring area. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Suzanne and John for a perfect stay. Very good pre-stay communication, directions and access to the cottage. Also for the provisions for breakfast - orange juice, tea/coffee, milk, bread and butter and a bottle of wine. We arrived on the day of the Queens funeral so this was very appreciated. The Cottage was great for us and also the secure garden for our dogs. We look forward to returning and highly recommend Thank you for a great stay Jo, Rob, Jenny and the dogs Thomas and Harvey

Wayside Cottage is lovely, beautifully decorated and so comfortable and homely, very well equipped with everything you could need for your stay. The owner has thought of everything!

Communication with the owners was very good and we were not disappointed with property

Our stay at the beautiful Wayside Cottage could not have been enjoyable. We spent two weeks there summer '22 after having to cancel in spring '20... and the wait was more than worth it! The owners were wonderful throughout and the property more than lives up to its online billing - compact (to be expected) and a treasure of a place with the amount of room, comfort, and obvious care inside. The location is great for all the family - idyllic St Osyth and its surroundings, the quayside next door, and the watersports down the hill - we had many great hours at all of these places this trip. Perfect, thank you!

The reason I gave online accuracy 4 stars is because while the pictures are fabulous, they do not express how wonderful and pristine and homely Wayside Cottage actually is in the flesh. It’s well equipped, cosy, and Suzanne is thoughtful, generous and all round great property owner.

Wayside cottage was fully equipped with everything that you could ask for. A lovely welcome pack awaited us. beautiful finishing touches as in bath robes toothbrushes and toiletries. Impeccably clean. Beds lovely and comfy. Garden was nice and safe for my dog. especially liked listening to the turkeys gobbling! In a good location a short walk into St Osyth with a selection of shops and pubs. Bus stop straight outside the house . We would definitely book again. Many Thanks to the hosts for a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful property, home from home, with everything you could need,

This is a lovely cottage, but lots of busy traffic which obviously the owners have no control over. But if just using the cottage as a holiday base this should not cause any inconvenience.

Great spot, really enjoyed our time in this little cottage. Great pubs, the kings arms in particular.

Ideal location. Friendly village property very comfortable and clean everything you need. Given location was not aware of traffic. Garden perfect for family and dog secure.

Stayed here for 3 nights July 2021 and we were really impressed with Wayside Cottage. Spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and presented. The attention to detail was exceptional; milk, bread, orange juice, butter, wine and more in the kitchen. New toothbrushes and luxury toiletries in the bathroom. Netflix and smart TV to keep us entertained. A lovely, private sunny/ shady garden which was safe for our dog to wander in and lovely for us to sit and enjoy. Comfortable sofas! We’ve stayed in cottages in the last with really small uncomfortable sofas so this was a treat. Bed was great too. We enjoyed exploring the local area including walks on the doorstep. Great communications from the owner Suzanne. We’ll happily recommend the cottage and hope we might return one day. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!

The cottage was immaculate when we arrived and the welcome pack of bread, milk etc was very welcome. Suzanne had very kindly left some toys out for my Granddaughter which she loved. The cottage garden is lovely and secluded and St Osyth is in a great location. The lake is literally on the doorstep and we had great fun trying out the Aqua Park and Paddle Boarding. There are also many great beaches close by and Colchester Zoo is only a short drive away. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and quick to respond. All in all a great holiday.

Couldn't have asked for anymore in a cottage! The property was spotless when we arrived, yet still felt homely right away. So many 'extras' included like breakfast foods, milk, condiments, toiletries, books and toys! The owners are so friendly and helpful, they provided advice and recommended things around the area for the children. Will definitely be staying again!
