Guestbook for Willow and Old Thatched
Thank you for loaning the Old Thatched Cottage to us for our holiday. We have really enjoyed our stay in East Anglia and have visited many lovely villages and enjoyed the fantastic scenery during our country walks. We would strongly recommend the property and hope to return very soon.
What a remarkable place! The pictures do not do it justice. We really enjoyed our stay and have passed on your details to all our friends and family. Thanks again for the eggs.
We had a great time and recommend Colchester Zoo to the old and young alike. My grand daughter absolutely loved it. The cottage was much bigger then we expected and very clean and comfortable. We hope to return.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful cottage. We have had such a good time and have managed to visit so many places, inluding Colchester Zoo and shopped to we dropped in Colchester town. We even managed to get up to Southwold and Great Yarmouth. The scenery around Constable Country is breathtaking. Excellent!
Great stay. Comfortable bungalow and a good base for touring the area.
