The place was quaint, and ideal for somewhere to stay for a few days. It has everything you need for a comfortable getaway. We would return, no problem. Already we are telling our friends about the location and how we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, and had everything we needed.

We had a lovely one night stay at Old Thatch Bambers Green. The unit was clean and very well equipped. It had everything you needed and more. Big thanks to our lovely hosts, Angela and Steve, who were very helpful and even went out their way to make sure that we are happy and satisfied.

We stayed one night as we had booked to see a show at local theatre. Usually we would stay in self catering but thought due to short stay try a B and B which we have not done for several years.. The location, staff owner/ landlady and breakfast were great. You are made welcome with a friendly service. The room was exceptionally clean and a comfortable bed. It was quiet and restful . I would recommend if visiting local area. Price was good and options explained to make it even more cost effective. Forgot how good B and B can be if it's done well. Thanks a lot.

I booked a single room but when I checked in they had upgraded me to a double room at no extra cost. The room was very clean. There was a good selection of tea/coffee. There was a small chocolate bar and biscuit that I wasn't expecting.

Very peaceful quiet location,when we opened the door there was a lovely fragrance and it was very clean,the room was small but comfortable for two people but not for tall or big persons,the location is good as the shops are 5 minutes drive and Clacton-on-Sea is about 10 minutes,meet the lovely host Julie and her three lovely dogs, dogs are not allowed but she said if you have a small dog she may make an exception you just need to let her know first when you book.
