We stayed for one night at Zig zag Cottage having being impressed by the reviews we had already read. We were made very welcome and given a tour of the accommodation which was spacious and immaculately clean. Breakfast was well presented and the table beautifully set out. It did represent very good value for money and so many little extras... More

Stayed at ZigZag Cottage over a recent "Spring" weekend. Although weather outside was cold the reception inside was warm and wonderful from Marianne and Paul who have created a home from home in the beautiful East Anglian countryside. Two cosy bedrooms, a five star bathroom and a lounge area in a self-contained wing is like having your own holiday cottage... More

Marianne and Paul welcomed us to their beautifully refurbished period cottage. We could not have stayed anywhere that was so right for us, having complete privacey. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the icing on the cake is when you go down for breakfast which was supreme. You will not find better value anywhere. Neil and I would recommend Zig Zak... More

We stayed for two separate nights in Zig Zag cottage. We enjoyed our stay here so much the first time, we were looking forward to stay another night. And both times it was absolutely great. Very friendly people, good beds, beatiful bathroom, nice lounge area and a very tasty and complete breakfast at whatever time you need it (early!). You... More

We spent over 3 weeks travelling around the UK and this B&B/cottage litterally crowned the end of our journey. A charming period cottage carefully refurbished with first quality materials of excellent taste, spotlessly clean, exceedingly quiet spacious bedrooms in absolute privacy and a supreme fully cooked breakfast, served in silver service by the very friendly and unobtrusive owners.

We stayed for six nights in August, having stayed for a few days last year, with Marianne and Paul. They welcomed us warmly, and really went beyond the call of duty, to help me and my two little girls have a relaxing stay. Nothing was too much trouble, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone, to stay in... More

We like to travel by daylight and don't like to sleep on the boat. That's why we choose the Zig Zag cottage near Harwich to begin and end our holiday in England. Marianne Beck and her husband are very friendly. Hospitality, cosiness and privacy are top! We enjoyed the generous breakfast, the cleanliness, the bedroom, the bathroom with super shower... More

Three of us stayed here for three nights as a base for visiting gardens at Beth Chatto's and Hyde Hall. Generous accommodation, fantastic power shower, lovely sheets and towels and wonderful home cooked breakfast served on immaculate linen. I had probably the best scrambled eggs I have eaten away from home in a lifetime of scrambled egg eating! While the... More

The nicest B&B we have visited and is special. Stayed just one night while visiting friends in Harwich. Wished we had time to stay longer. Real home from home. Clean and beautifully presented. You get two bedrooms, your own bathroom, sitting room and dinning room. Breakfast was to die for and beautifully served. Comfortable and homely. A plus for us... More
