Wayside cottage is an end of terrace property, which is 150 years old, located in the historic village of St Osyth. It is situated in between the village centre, where you will find all the necessary amenities, and the lake, where you will find water sport activities, scenic walks and bike rides. The cottage has been completely renovated to retain all the original quirky features of wonky ceilings, old exposed beams and original gate doors. The rooms are cosy and inviting. All of the windowsare double glazed but there is an element of road noise at certain times of day that is out of our control.

Our quaint cottage will host four guests comfortably, however we can accommodate five by adjusting the single day bed, in bedroom two, to become a double. We can supply an additional dining room chair or high chair if required.

We will provide continental breakfast supplies, sufficient for your first morning, consisting of tea, coffee, milk, small selection of individual cereals, orange juice, bread, butter and jam.
There is a charcoal BBQ in the outside storage for your use in the beautiful garden.

On arrival you will find a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge to welcome you to Wayside Cottage.

We are very dog friendly and our Hugo ( chocolate Labrador ) loves the local walks so please bring yours and enjoy the fantastic walks avalible.
We only live a few miles up the road and can offer any advise on the local area, restaurants, dog walks, cycle rides, days out at near by local beaches, villages and of course Dedham the Constable Country etc.
Wake boarding, kayaking and paddle-boarding is available to rent on the local lake which is only a 1 minute walk away, where you will find which not only has two wakeboard Cables with jumps but also boasts the largest water inflatable obstacle course in Essex !!

With the St Osyth Parish boasting to be the driest area in the UK, only receiving on average 507mm of rainfall a year a Priory and a history of Witching there should be plenty to keep you entertained :)

    Enjoyed our stay, cottage is welcoming and attention to detail appreciated. Very clean and everything you need is thought of. Garden is nice and well kept. Only down side is having no parking, but owner has arranged parking at nearby water park, but this was a little problematic for us. There is quite a bit of road noise as it’s on a relatively busy road, but maybe we notice it more as we live in a very rural location with no traffic and are not used to it. But would def stay again, thank you.

    Lovely cottage, super clean and everything you could imagine was provided. Kitchen was well equipped, and so was the bathroom with toiletries provided. Great that breakfast was provided too. Private garden with comfortable seating. Able to park outside for loading and unloading then moved to an off road car park just down the road. A great aqua sports centre is literally just down the road, we wished we had time for more, because there were so many activites we could have done there. The village is quite rural but great for the coast and inland too - we visited Flatford Mill in Constable Country and swam in the river Sowe.

    Second time we have stayed at the cottage and will be returning. Suzanne’s communication leading up to, during and afterwards has been spot on without ever intruding. Highly recommend

    We booked last minute to get out of the bustle of the city. Suzanne and John were really thoughtful in sharing that there was unexpected roadwork outside the cottage, giving us the opportunity to find another place to stay but we decided to go ahead and are so glad that we did. The cottage is comfortable and quaint with all the amenities you need to relax. The cottage is walking distance to local cafes, restaurants, and bars. It was great for a weekend away and exactly what we needed. Definitely on our list to revisit, thanks for having us!

    This property met all our expectations and more ! It was so homely and cosy. We visited with our pup, who absolutely loved the enclosed garden. Lots of places to visit locally and many many walks had by all. Thank you ?

    An amazing well equipped cottage. Hosts were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Would highly recommend for a family break with your four legged fur baby :-). Lots of lovely walks and the nearby water park was a hit with the braver members of the family. They also do great coffee and cake.
