Quiet position with easy parking, well placed to access the great amenities in Wivenhoe. We had a really lovely stay, despite lots of rain we went for walks followed by a great excuse to go to the pub. We would definitely go back and hopefully stay a little longer.

Our cute & cosy cottage in the ever-popular getaway fishing village of Wivenhoe awaits you! Perfectly situated to enjoy the delights of nearby Colchester ('Britain's Oldest Recorded Town), Dedham Vale (Constable Country), Mersea Island (sea, sand & oysters) or to just take in the sights and sounds of our picturesque little village. Recently refurbished & tastefully redecorated, the Secret Cottage showcases critically acclaimed artwork from local artists depicting the hamlet of Wivenhoe, both past & present. CONCEALED but CONVENIENT Located just beyond earshot & eye-line of any roads, this secret little bolt-hole offers peace & quiet but presents the numerous renowned restaurants and bars of historic Wivenhoe within a 3-4 min walk. OLDE WORLDE but WELL EQUIPPED Your own Victorian cottage delivering loads of period charm & quirkiness but also boasting all the mod-cons needed for you to maximize a relaxing break.
Wivenhoe is not only situated in an area of natural beauty but is also a cosmopolitan village influenced by its proximity to Essex University and is home to scholars, artists, poets and musicians - all of whom very much add social colour to our pretty little village. There are many interesting pubs here; 'The Greyhound', which offers friendly service and tasty meals; 'The Black Buoy', a community-run pub, with a varied and interesting menu and very welcoming hospitality; 'The Rose & Crown', right on the river-front with outdoor seating from which to sit & enjoy the River Colne drift by; 'The Railway', which hosts travelers looking for a quick drink or bite to eat between trains! If pubs aren't your thing we also have a plethora of restaurants and cafes; Indian, Italian, Spanish and Middle Eastern that can satisfy your need for either a Full English, a slice of Victoria Sponge or tasty tapas. Not forgetting of course, our two 'chippies' (fish-n-chip shops) serving scrumptious and traditionally cooked fresh fish. One is located not far from the river-front action and the other the award winning 'Henleys of Wivenhoe', just a quick drive away.
