“Well priced, clean, tidy, all new. Quite small, but has all you need. Many welcoming touches.”
+The room is well-appointed with many thoughtful and practical touches to be completely independent and quiet. TV and wifi worked great. Shower and bathroom clean and worked well. There were bikkies, slippers, and loads of tea and coffee to help yourself to, plus a mini fridge which was great to store some food in for the 2 nights I was there
−It's quite a compact place, but has everything you need. I was a little cold, but the heating is easy to adjust, and I was warm enough in bed. I did find I had no or poor mobile signal, but the wifi can rectify that for the most part. I did not read the address fully ( St Osyth WEST, in Little Clacton) even though I had looked it up several days before. On the day, I selected 127, St Osyth Road, Clacton, and ended up on a main road next to a launderette! So ensure you put the full WEST part on the road address. Despite being called the Lodge, the actual door says the Forge, so I was worried I was trying to enter a room with people already in it! I needed to work so had my laptop balanced on the 2nd armchair (1st world problems!), but there were loads of sockets for my laptop, printer and phone charger.

“Would recommend and go again if we were going to Clacton.”
+The Lodge was beautiful, it was cozy and comfortable inside, in such idyllic surroundings. There was a little seating area outside to sit and have a coffee. It was also very quiet and peaceful. Private parking space, which was ideal for the motorbike.

“Hosts were amazing and helped us find property even though late at night. Would definitely return if was in the area. Wo”
+Property was just what we needed for a nights stay. Exceptionally clean, and stocked with everything you need.
−We arrived late so is probably easier to find in the daytime but would say it could be helpful to have a sign outside.
