Cozy comfortable cottage by the sea and water, surrounded by fields and space

Our family have owned Humperdink, our cottage, since 1964. It is a few miles from the village of St Osyth adjacent to the nature reserve of Lee Over Sands, with a mainly shingle and sand beach, depending on the tide, river and marshes.

We brought our cottage into the 21st century in 2015, retaining its charm and character while adding some new creature comforts and mod cons, including gas central heating with radiators and running hot water (which was a first for us, never having this luxury at our cottage before when we were children or with our children!) to make any stay a memorable and pleasurable whatever the weather, or time of year.

We have no hidden extras with our home, bed linen, towels, and tea towel are all included in the price. All pillows and mattresses have protector covers and are non allergic.

Check in is 4 pm and check out is 11 am.

The surrounding area is fields, however the creek, sea and beach are just over the sea wall, where you can walk, enjoy the views, swim in the water, kyake or paddle board or you can just stay at our cottage, sit in the front garden or sit on the patio at the back of the property and listen to the wildlife right on your doorstep, away from the hustle and bustle of reality. Deer have been seen near our cottage as well as hares, foxes as well lots of owls and multiple birds. Books for identifying the birds are available, should you need.

Your dog is very welcome, please just notify us about this when you book. We only allow 2 dogs per booking and there is a charge of £25 per dog per stay. We ask that you clean up after your dog and also that you don’t allow your dog to sleep on the beds please. Please also be aware the garden is not fenced in.

The cottage has two bedrooms upstairs, the front bedroom that has views to the sea and has a wooden Shaker Kingsize bed and a second bedroom at the back with a wooden double bed, as well as a single pine bed, so this room can actually sleep three. This room has spectacular views across the fields and also to the sea, where you can see the Wind Turbines near Clacton, quite lovely at night with all the twinkly lights. You also see the sunrise from the back of the property, which is superb as well as the sunset from the front of the cottage.

There is a room downstairs, at the back of the property, that can either be a bedroom or a playroom. It has a very comfortable double sized sofa bed from Ikea. This room has french doors which open out onto a decking area, complete with chairs and a dining table during the summer and a picnic bench during the winter months, all ready for you to enjoy your meal at any time of the day or drink a la fresco. In the summer you wake on a lovely sunny morning with the sun streaming in, encouraging you to open the french doors and take in the peace and solitude of the area.

We have provided an extra fridge in the garage for your bottles that can be turned on when you need it There is also a smaller fridge/freezer for your food which is left on all the time. The tumble dryer in the garage, next to the fridges is NOT TO BE USED by guests please, it is only to be used by our cleaner.

Our cottage has a delightful open and sociable living space where you can cook, eat and socialize. There is a fitted, fully equipped kitchen, with a washing machine, electric oven and gas hob, slow cooker, air fryer, George Foreman Grill, microwave, kettle, toaster and dolce gusto coffee machine.

In the living space there is a SMART TV/DVD player/ radio in the comfy sitting area and a dining room table with 7 chairs, should they be needed. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. This runs off the hot water, provided by the combi boiler. The heating is also a smart system, called NEST and can easily be adjusted with the thermostat controller on the table under the lamp in the sitting room.

We now have superfast fibre broadband. This is left plugged into the same plug as the toaster / microwave and the router is on the shelf above the microwave. You will be given the password at the cottage and in your welcome email which also gives you the keysafe code.

The unique location on the Essex coast, which incidentally is one of the driest places in the UK, is adjacent to the Essex Wildlife Trust EWT (www.essexwt.org.uk) reserve on Colne Point. This bird reserve has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) affording habitat for many different birds both resident and migratory. As a guest you are allowed access to the beaches and wildlife reserve, which could be described a very exclusive experience as only members and residents are usually are able to go on this reserve.

Over the sea wall is the creek which is obviously tidal and the sea which lend themselves to some kayaking or paddle boarding which is a lot of fun and often you are on your own on the water.

London is only 2 hours away by car and there is a main train station at Colchester which is approximately 25 mins away from Humperdink. However, there are smaller train stations at Gt Bentley (only 10 - 15 mins away from cottage) and Clacton.

The nearest village is St Osyth and it's only 10 minutes by car and this has all been described in the location part of these details. There is the Curve Wave Park in St Osyth where you can have some fun on their paddle boards and an inflatable ride for anyone over 8. You can also learn to water ski.

We feel that our cottage offers rather a unique experience and one that we never tire of, several of our guests have returned for a visit, which is rather lovely. There is something for everyone, of all ages, to enjoy even if it is just sitting enjoying the english weather and scenery.

The sea air will also help you to have a really good night's sleep and should you be lucky you will see the most beautiful sunrise and sunset.

Don't forget your wellies or old pair trainers we have some binoculars in one of the bedrooms upstairs for you to enjoy. Crab lines, buckets and nets are all provided in the garage! There is a Wendy house and a Cozy coupe as well as other toys. There is also a BBQ in the garage but we do not provide the coals for the BBQ or the bait for the crab lines.

As mentioned before we will send you an email with the keysafe code, more information about our cottage and the area and some also some fun things to do should you want to do them.

However, the beach is nearly always deserted and this may be just what you are after.

Toller Aufenthalt in schöner Umgebung – gerne wieder!

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in dieser Ferienwohnung. Die Umgebung ist wirklich traumhaft – perfekt zum Entspannen und für Ausflüge in die Natur. Alles war genau so, wie es in der Beschreibung angegeben war, sodass wir uns gut orientieren konnten.Die Gastgeber waren absolut herzlich und hilfsbereit – hier merkt man sofort, dass Gastfreundschaft großgeschrieben wird. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Bei der Sauberkeit der Wohnung, insbesondere bei Details wie Oberflächen oder Küchensachen, gibt es noch etwas Luft nach oben. Das trübt aber den insgesamt sehr positiven Gesamteindruck nur minimal.Insgesamt ein toller Urlaub in einer schönen Unterkunft mit perfekten Gastgebern – vielen Dank!

Peaceful and relaxing

We wanted to be somewhere quiet and relaxing so our nervous dog wouldn't be disturbed by the fireworks! Humperdink was the ideal location! Although the weather wasn't great the cottage was cosy and warm. The welcome basket was a nice thought too, thank you

We had some wet weather and some dry sunny weather. Humperdink is perfect for both. The cottage is more than adequately equipped for a relaxing stay and is very welcoming. We had some very enjoyable walks exploring around the area . Will definitely recommend a stay and hope ti come back in the future.

A cosy cottage in a remote location

We spent a very enjoyable few days at the cottage. Although the weather was cold outside, the cottage was warm and comfortable. It is clean and well-maintained and has the feel of a well-loved home rather than a holiday let. We enjoyed some excellent walking in the area and would love to return in the summer months.

Cosy, comfortable get-away in the middle of the salt-marshes

The property is small but cosy and well appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay, whatever the weather. The location is peaceful and very much "away from it all", despite the preponderance of caravan sites all around, nothing but wide open space as far as the eye can see. The owners are very helpful and provided lots of useful information about the local area as well as the property.

Escape from the big, bad covid world.

This is a difficult review to write. Whilst I want to say how brilliant our stay at Humperdink was, I also want to be able to book to stay again! The house and location are an oasis away from the chaos of the real world. Absolutely perfect for nature lovers, we spent 2 days just sat on the decking watching the wildlife in the fields. The walk to the beach was a bit too far for my elderly parents, however they loved exploring the sea wall and the creek. The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you could need, but is not cluttered. We used the downstairs bedroom as it was clear from the photos of the stairs that they wouldn't be suitable for elderly legs, this provided my parents with everything they needed on one level. Everyone in this tiny community were friendly and always willing to stop for a socially distanced chat, however our favourite neighbours were the sheep over the road, we already miss them!

April 2021 - Humperdink Cottage

Before talking about the property I must say that the host, Diana was super efficient and attentive, she really did add the personal touch and answer any query quickly - and efficiently and the information on the cottage is also super detailed before you arrive. 5* We stayed for my wifes birthday over two nights with kids and mother-in-law. Beach is a 10-15min walk away but pretty much abandoned! great fun crabbing off the old wooden bridge with the kids. Wish we had more time to explore the sea wall walks which begin just outside the cottage. The cottage had pretty much everything you could ever want and although appear small in size never felt small inside! Really quiet of a night with just the odd Barrr from the sheep opposite, and a great place to just switch off from city life :) thanks Diana we had a great mini-break.

This was a very short notice trip as my mum who lives in the area, had some devastating health news. Diana and Simon did everything to accommodate me and my family's needs. We are very grateful to them, we had a lovely time making some lovely memories with mum in their lovely cottage. It is a very peaceful place and has the most amazing sunsets due to the location. We couldn’t have asked for anything more Thank you x

Very charming, clean cottage

Booked to stay here over Christmas for a week, cottage itself was lovely, clean, had everything we needed......except it was so cold. The heating only came on periodically for a short time and we were asked (by a sign on the boiler itself) not to adjust the boiler settings. I had to go out and buy a heater in order to stay warm and prevent everything from feeling damp. Enjoyable stay but wouldn’t go back in the cold weather.
