GUEST REVIEWSMe and my girlfriend had a wonderful short stay in the brand new Kingfisher's Nest log cabin. It was in the middle of the heatwave, but the cabin stayed cool inside. The sauna was amazing, and watching the shooting stars from the hot tub outside at night was a brilliant experience.
James, Stayed at Kingfisher’s Nest
We stayed at Water Lily Lodge and it was absolutely fantastic. The cabin itself is beautifully kept, spacious and very comfortable to live and sleep in - we didn’t want to leave! The view from the hot tub is just gorgeous - complete with lovely swans and ducks who swam up to say hello.
The cabin is so secluded but has lovely pubs and restaurants a short drive away - I would recommend the Three Horseshoes, where we had a lovely meal. If you’re thinking about booking - don’t hesitate!

Just WOW. We came here for my partner's 30th birthday as a surprise, and it was better than we could have ever imagined. We took our 4-month-old puppy, who loved the freedom of the cabin and the views from the floor-length windows. It was our first time in a cabin, and it has only made us want to come back for more. Plenty to do in the area and plenty of time to just chill and enjoy the cabin if you’d prefer. What a beautiful place, thank you Browning Bros.

The local area has a lot to offer. You can take a peaceful stroll through the nearby ancient woodland or explore the local attractions within a half-hour drive. You can enjoy some delicious seafood on Mersea Island or visit the oldest recorded town in the country, Colchester, which boasts a stunning castle and a thriving high street. Families and children can have a great time at the Colne Valley Steam Railway Museum and Colchester Zoo.
