"We really enjoyed our stay in your cottage over Easter. Thank you." Brian and Ruth, Kent. A tiny cosy cottage offering the opportunity to get away from it all at a truely competitive price. Five minutes walk to the sea, this homely cottage is located on an unadopted road, excellent for an individual, a couple and their pet(s) who like long walks and for whom the pot-holes in the road and unpretentious area will be more than made up for by the miles of award-winning sandy beaches. The cottage has a small double bedroom, a lounge with french doors (also the front door), galley kitchen and a surprisingly spacious bathroom. Jaywick Sands is a five minute drive from Clacton on Sea, which is one of Tendring Peninsula’s seaside resorts offering everything needed for an enjoyable traditional seaside holiday. There are also regular buses from Jaywick to the centre of Clacton's resort area. A table-top market/boot-fair is held most Sundays in Jaywick Sands. The golf club is 5 minutes drive between Jaywick Sands and the main resort of Clacton on Sea. The club welcomes Day Visitors who bring their own clubs.
