Description

You will be greeted upon arrival by an off-road parking space, leave your vehicle here and unload your belongings with ease into the charming dwelling. House your shoes and coats in the spacious hallway, away from the main rooms and discover the kitchen/diner at the rear of the home, with modern facilities to cater to your culinary desires. Settle down at the dining table to enjoy mouth-watering dishes together, uncork a bottle of wine and toast to a splendid getaway. After dinner, take a seat on the plush sofa in the sitting room and unwind in front of the TV for the evening. Before the night draws to a close, head into the pretty, rear garden to savour a moment of relaxation in the hot tub; here you can soak amongst the bubbles and relish the peaceful location. When sleep calls, retire back inside and climb the stairs to the first-floor to choose between two beautifully laid-out bedrooms; drift off in the master bedroom with king-size bed, or snuggle up in the twin bedroom. For flexible sleeping arrangements, there are two camp beds included so everyone is guaranteed a place to rest their head! In the morning, freshen up with a shower before joining your family in the conservatory, flooded in natural light; you can look forward to curling up with a book on the furniture for a moment alone. Wisteria Place is just a mere stone's throw away from a well-stocked convenience store to assist you with your self-catering experience and pubs serving home-cooked meals can also be found in the village. Be sure to visit the Jam Museum for a fascinating insight into the history of preserving products and have the chance to dress up as a 19th century jam maker! Venture further afield to Mersea Island, home to the Mersea Boating Lake, a salt water lake which offers visitors with kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, windsurfing and plenty more watersports on the east coast, whilst also enjoying access to a private beach. Take a short journey to the ancient town of Maldon, home to the pretty Promenade park located on the bank of the river Blackwater, which hosts fun activities for children, including Splash Park; whilst in the town you can explore the award-winning breweries and Vineyards. Dedham is just a short drive away and is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whilst offering visitors with access to the Dedham River Trail, boating opportunities along the River Stour, as well as making for a great place to dine out, with The Boathouse, MIlsoms and Le Talbooth being points of interest. Near Dedham you can find the hamlet of Flatford, home to the Stour Valley Path & St Edmund Way and the Flatford Field, for those walkers of the group, along with being home to the gorgeous RSPB Flatford Wildlife Garden. The young ones will be thrilled with a day at Colchester Zoo, boasting a marvellous range of species; Colchester also hosts an 11th century castle, which now displays engrossing Roman exhibitions. For an unforgettable holiday with your loved ones, choose Wisteria Place.

The village of Tiptree, famed for its successful jam production, rests in the pretty borough of Colchester. Wilkin and Sons is the family firm and you can visit the factory with a museum for an insight into the jam making. Tiptree was a contender for "the largest village in Britain" due to its immense development. To the south of the village is Tiptree Heath, home to a substantial heathland and a nature reserve, which covers 25-hectares.
