Relaxing
I arrived at 3pm . Ally showed me to my room and showed me the pool and spa. Winter here so the pool not in action but the spa was lovely and hot and bubbly. Lovely being outside in the evening. Room was great comfy bed, heat pump, a little stove to heat my soup and smart TV I woke to a veiw of the Firth of Thames. Although the exterior looked a little rough I had a very relaxing stay which is what I needed.

The unit was lovely and clean, and there were some nice extras. The manager that saw me into the property was super nice. The unit was looking tired and needs some work to bring ut up to a really good standard again. same with some of the exterior, although I onluy saw this in wet, stormy weather. I would most certainly stay there again despite these things, and it that is because of the possitives I have already mentioned.

FANTASTIC CHALETS HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Grafton Cottage was so fantastic we changed our stay from 1 night to 3 nights after the first night. Albie (owner) is very personable and accommodating - just basically lovely. The chalet we had our first night was a cute bedsit and had a good view out over the bay. Full cooking facilities, lots of hot water and a spa & pool right by the door. After the first night we loved it so much we asked Albie if we could stay another 2 nights and he had a 2 story chalet free for us which he only charged the bedsit price. The view was even better. We spent 2 days sipping beer in the spa and reading as rain rolled over the bay - snug and warm and comfortable. We were on a bicycling trip and were able to securely store our bikes in the garage onsite and Albie ran us into town one night (rainy and cold) to go to dinner free of charge. We will definately stay there again and would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere in the Thames area.

Getting a bit tired but nice and clean and a great view! No one there on arrival but a kinda confusing map showed us the way to our room around some boardwalks and stairs that were frankly a bit rickety in places. What seemed like it could be a really great place to stay unfortunately feels like it needs a fresh injection of energy and funds to make it realize it's potential

Good Bits * Beautiful view over Thames coastline from balcony * Really nice welcome * Use of the owners pool but quite a few leaves in it and not heated * Complimentary milk, biscuits and Bailey's type drink Not so good bits * Cleaning not very thorough - Someone's blond hair on the sofa and sofa pillows, *Cobwebs in exposed rafters, *External doors and windows not clean. *Mould in shower cubicle. *Dishes not washed properly - not checked before occupancy - yuck *Oven was also quite disgusting and not clean. * Can hear neighbours on the phone through bedroom wall clearly at night! This facility lets itself down with basically a poor cleaning regime. Such a simple thing to fix and it would make all the difference

We had the Camellia Chalet. Spectacular views on a hill overlooking the bay from the bed, deck and dining area. Room was the size of a small apartment with cooking amenities. We decided to dine in and enjoy the room and views. Grounds were meticulously landscaped with labels on all the native plants. We had a king sized bed even though the booking description said double. It was almost like staying in a treehouse.
