Perfect Property & Fabulous Hosts

We could not have picked a lovelier home for self-isolating upon arrival to the U.K. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us and help us get settled. We were excited about the house and property just looking at the photos in the listing, but it is even better in person! The back patio provides several areas for sitting and watching the birds and the garden is very well maintained. Our teen boys love all the entertainment options — from board games to the ping pong table to the music room with classic LPs and the TV room with a large supply of movies. Nigel and Mandy are absolutely delightful, extremely communicative, and generous in their hospitality. This isn’t just a rental, it is their home and that provides many conveniences that made our stay even more pleasurable. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and the entire home is spacious and well laid-out. Without a doubt, we would stay here again!

Lovely week

We enjoyed our week stay at Cherrytree Farm. Fantastic property and garden in which our boys loved playing football, cricket and flying their kite. Owners Mandy and Nigel kept us up to date with all information needed and responded to any questions very quickly. The area is lovely and we enjoyed boating in Dedham, Colchester Zoo and a local water sports centre for various activities. The Wooden Fender pub just down the road does great food with great service, very friendly staff. Would definitely return.

Cherry Trees Colchester

Wow! Never been to such a well equipped house with such generous hosts. They really opened their home to us. The one, very small problem, was sorted quickly, efficiently in a manor that showed they really cared about our stay. A great location for seeing the wonderful Essex countryside. Who knew?

Great weekend getaway!

The house is beautiful and extremely picturesque! The fields surrounding we so spacious and allowed us to play frisbee and enjoy the sun ☀️ I highly recommend this house for a small get away with a big group as it accommodates for everyone’s needs (there’s a games room, study, comfy living room etc!). Getting to Colchester town for food etc was very easy as the bus stops are right in-front of the property ! Mandy was also great and very easy to get in contact with- thanks again! :)

Great

We had a lovely stay at Cherry Trees over Christmas. The house is well equipped and comfortable. It has a spacious kitchen with a large table, perfect to sit around and chat or play games, big enough for meals for a large family. The utility room is amazing. We loved being able to light the wood burner in the evening. The house provided a great base for our family.

Family reunion heaven!

Cherry Trees Farm was our base for two weeks with visitors from three continents attending a family reunion/ wedding. The property was beautiful, well-maintained, and immaculate as advertised. We were greeted by Shelia, who took us on a tour of the home, spacious grounds and game room. Lots of thought went into the tiniest details in this lovely home, covered veranda, terrace and lawn. Loved the music room. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and too many gadgets, pots/pans, and dishes to mention. There were also treats left for us by Nigel and Mandy which was a special touch. We enjoyed Dedham, The Mogul restaurant in Manningtree, The Butt and Oyster in Pin Mill, and walking along the River Stour. Easy access to shopping, A12 and A120. We would happily recommend Cherry Trees Farm and hope to return one day. The Ash family

Fabulous Accomodation and Location

Ticked all the boxes. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and very accommodating owners. We used Cherry Tree as a base for our wedding at Le Talbooth and it was perfect. Added bonus of many great places to visit within a short drive. Highly recomended !! Thank you

Very comfortable, well organised, home from home, really enjoyed our stay.

This lovely family home, with large garden and ample living areas was a great space for our family over a wet Easter weekend. Age range 1 year - 63 across 3 generations, having plenty of living areas was really good for us, so there was space to be together and apart! We appreciated the generous basic provisions, and willingness to provide high chair and cot, which we had failed to specifically request. The house is well equipped, and the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, as there are a god range of utensils and equipment as well as fresh herbs from the garden, and dried ingredients. The verandah is lovely (although too cold and wet for us to use) and the games room, games and TV options made it easy for us to meet everyone's interests. Many thanks!

Five star family weekend

Enjoyed a fabulous long weekend to celebrate a family birthday. The house is furnished to a very high spec with every piece of equipment imaginable in the kitchen. Really impressed with the well stocked store cupboard which is something I haven't experienced in other houses I've stayed. The veranda across the back of the house was beautiful and we ate all of our meals outside but the big selling point of this property is the huge garden. We love to play cricket, rounders, touch football etc when we are all together as a family, and with so much space everyone's competitive sideline really came out. The table tennis room was also a big hit when rain stopped play. Thanks to Amanda and Nigel for the lovely chocolate cake and relaxed welcome. We are already talking about a return visit next year.

Gorgeous spacious house, perfect for a break

We spent three nights in Cherrytrees farm as a group of 8 friends over new years and it was perfect. The house was in a beautiful condition when we arrived. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked with all the pots, plans and plates we could need. The bedrooms were all nicely made up and comfortable. NB: you have to walk through bedroom 3 to get to bedroom 4, but we worked that out ok between us. We made use of some of the board games in the cupboard, with the dining room a great space for 8 to sit comfortably. The DVD player in the living room also got some use, and there were good sofas/armchairs for us all. Managed to get the wood burner going on the 2nd day (needed newspaper!) but some of us found it too hot once it was going! We explored some of the local area but not much as the house was so comfortable and the weather wasn't great. More to see and do - we would definitely come again!

Excellent

We stayed four weeks to visit with family and check out old haunts. The house is very comfortable and was ideal for our large family gatherings. The responsiveness of the owners and the property itself made a significant contribution to the overall success of our vacation. Prospective renters can have complete confidence that the detailed listing is accurate and that what other reviewers have said is true. We heartily recommend this property.
