The Squirrels is a private studio annexe attached to our house with its own entrance and private patio area with table and chairs and charcoal BBQ. We have a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher, electric oven, and fridge with a small freezer, kettle, and microwave. Tea and coffee are provided. Smart 40-inch TV in lounge with comfortable sofa. The bedroom has a king size bed. Electric shower. Complimentary soaps and shampoo. Owners gardens and pool are available to enjoy. The shared pool is open from May - September and is open daily from 10am-4pm Weather permitting. *The pool is not a private pool to The Squirrels as we use it as well as other guests staying.
Welcome to Ferndale Holiday Lets. My name is Debbie, and my co-host is Brian. We live at Ferndale and have been living here for 14 years. We enjoy being outside in the garden, and I like pottering in the vegetable garden and tending to my my rescue hens who have been with us for a few weeks now. We enjoy walking our labrador Fred, whom you will see wandering around the garden. He loves to go out for walks in our local countryside. We look forward to welcoming you. You will see us about from time to time. However, The Squirrels have their own entrance parking and patio area. Please feel free to messsge or text me. Key safe box.
Attached to our house so general family noise maybe heard! The Squirrels is suitable for 2 adults. Swimming Pool is available to use and is shared with us and other guests - Weather Permitting. Brightlingsea beach and Wivenhoe town and University of Essex 10 min drive away. Local pub 5 min walk. Bus service to Wivenhoe and Colchester or Brightlingsea and Clacton on sea. Alresford train station is a 10-minute walk away. Direct service to Colchester and London Liverpool Street. The village of Alresford Essex is a good location for the University of Essex in Wivenhoe. Also close to the coastal town of Brightlingsea. Alresford Creek is a lovely riverside walk into Wivenhoe or further on to Colchester, which is about 8 miles. You can stop for a drink by the river at The Rose and Crown in Wivenhoe.
