My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at the Essex house the last weekend of April. The house has lovely architectural features and is very nicely decorated inside and lovely landscaping outside. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. There are many seating areas inside (sunroom/sitting room, living room, kitchen area, dinning room, basement lounge area with TV) and very nice seating outside, so it was great for our family of 7 and when my parents and sister came to visit. The attic bedroom with 6 single beds was charming, with a Nanny McPhee vibe to it. The house is within walking distance to the main street in Essex so easy to get groceries or walk to local restaurants. Our main reason was to visit my family (I am originally from the area) so we didn't venture away very much, but the Essex House is perfectly located to easily visit sites all around Essex county, from Windsor to Leamington. The host was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We will definitely be returning.
