Notes on accommodation

Garden by the river with views over to the golf course. Outdoor furniture supplied in the Summer months.
Coast/Beach
Maldon is on the Blackwater estuary and offers sailing and excursions on the famous Maldon sailing barges. Nearby Burnham-on-Crouch has a distinctly nautical atmosphere, nestling on the banks of the River Crouch amid the unspoilt Dengie Marshes, providing a haven for many species of wildfowl. From here it is possible to explore 15 miles of fine sailing before reaching the sea. Maldon also provides a leisure centre with heated indoor pool and tennis courts.

Guest comments
I would definitely recommend a stay at the Annexe at Beeleigh Falls. It's a brilliant location - hidden away but only a short walk along the canal into all the amenities you need for your stay in Maldon. It's in an idyllic setting with great walks just on your doorstep. As for the accommodation, Sue couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. After a long drive, arriving to a fire on the go and a bottle of wine ready for us ensured the perfect start to a great weekend. Everything was spotlessly clean and the flat had everything you needed for your stay. I have already started recommending the place to friends and family and hope to revisit. Julie and Tom Feb.2010
The setting is idyllic - so peaceful with lots of lovely walks and the annexe is very comfortable and cosy with everything you could need, we would love to come back Sandra & Mike April 2010
Owner profile
About the owner
I first fell in love with Croatia on a sailing holiday in 2004. The crystal clear waters of the Adriatic are undeniably welcoming as are the people. I returned the following year with the idea of finding a retreat to which I could escape when UK weather or general stress became too much to handle. I now like to share the experience with others and find that they too inevitably have a memorable and enjoyable stay. We also share the wonderful location of our house in the UK which we have had the good fortune to occupy for over 25 years and which lies beside the River Blackwater. A self contained annexe with it's own garden onto the river provides a perfect hideaway for two for either short stays or temporary accommodation for visiting relatives or between house sale and purchase.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
This property is part of our own house in which we have lived for over 25 years. It is in a spectacular position by the river and yet only a mile from the market town of Maldon with its historic connections to the Vikings and with the beautiful sailing barges which navigated the Thames and Blackwater in the past. There is lots to see in the local surrounding area and if you wish to visit the capital Central London is 50 miles by road or easily reached by train from either Witham, Hatfield Peveral or Chelmsford stations. The Roman city of Colchester lies about 20 miles to the North. However, the Annexe itself is in a haven of tranquillity together with our house.
Unique benefits of the property
The true beauty of this property is that you can just relax in almost total tranquility beside the river watching the swans and the tide swelling and ebbing whilst the pheasants strut their stuff on your lawn.
