“A charmingly decorated house with plenty of room for a small family to stay in. Host was very communicative over messages and answered all questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked and clean.”

Santana

United Kingdom

“The property was kept in excellent condition and something I did not state was that we needed 3 single beds and there were no sheets to be found to make another bed - that would have been handy.”

David

United Kingdom

“A comfortable and roomy well modernised Victorian home with everything we needed for our time in Harwich. Nice to be just two minutes walk from the seafront and the off-road car parking space is useful. The area was very peaceful too. Great...”

Relax with the whole family at Gordon Villa, a semi-detached Victorian Villa, a stones throw from Dovercourt Bays Blue Flag award winning beach and a few minutes walk from Dovercourt town centre and train station. Enjoy our modernised family home, on a quiet residential road, comprising of three reception rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and lovely private south facing garden. There are miles of sandy beaches, long countryside walks, great restaurants and village pubs to enjoy nearby.

You will be staying in our home, whilst we aren’t here. There will be someone on hand locally to assist with any issues or emergencies.

Harwich and Dovercourt is a small town on a peninsular in the northernmost point in Essex, on the border of Suffolk. The property is located on a quiet residential street made up of similar sized Victorian semi-detached villas a very short distance from the beach, a short walk from the town, train station and other local amenities. There is a small driveway and dropped curb to the front and side of the property which means it is possible to park a small car off street. However, medium or large cars will not fit but can usually park across the dropped curb to the driveway. Most amenities within town are within walking distance and being a peninsular there is limited opportunity to get lost. Parking is generally free and available in most areas.
