The recently renovated holiday home comes with 2 separate bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area and microwave, and a living room with a flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are featured in the holiday home. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. The property was in a great location in a quiet street close to the sea front. It was so clean, modern, bright - we were both so pleased with this accommodation- it was a fully furnished two bedroom two bathroom two story house. There is parking available. I cannot rate this house highly enough.

Towels and bed linen are provided in the holiday home. The property has an outdoor dining area. This place is a gem. The host has think about every single aspect of this cottage. I didn't feel home I felt pampered. It's so romantic the place. The bed is so comfortable. I have slept like a baby. I really recommend this place with all my heart. It's so near the centre of the city. It's so convenient regarding the distance to everything. It's spotless everywhere. The little garden it's like a smal fairytale corner, especially during the night. I hope I will have the opportunity to come back. Until then I wish you success Lady .

Near the beach and attractions. Over all 10 plus. Thank you 🙏🙏

Hedingham Castle is 38 km from the holiday home, while Adventure Island is 39 km from the property. London Southend Airport is 34 km away. We had a fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, it had a warm and homely feel, making it the perfect place to relax. The space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was excellent—just a short walk to Maldon’s charming high street, with plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants to explore. It was also close to the promenade, where we enjoyed lovely walk along the waterfront and took in the beautiful views. Overall, a lovely place to stay, combining comfort with a great location. We would definitely visit again!

The holiday home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace with lake views. Guests can take in the ambience of the surroundings from an outdoor dining area or keep themselves warm by the fireplace on colder days. The lodge is really nicely decorated, very comfortable and clean, with nice bedding and towels and gorgeous little touches like bath salts which was unexpected and much appreciated. The lake view is stunning and the lodge was lovely and warm, even during November. It is an excellent spot for fishing or just a peaceful relaxing stay. The hosts were available and helpful and very welcoming, access was easy and they gave us video instructions to find the lodge as it is one way around most of the site so could be confusing. We can't wait to come back again.

We loved the quirky style and history visible in all corners of the cottage.
