Who knew Essex was this lovely?
We have just spent 3 nights at Jackala and absolutely loved it. Maryann was very welcoming and I’ve never seen such a tidy site. The CL field was beautifully mown and smartly fenced with open fields all around. There was no traffic noise - just the sound of birdsong. There are far-reaching views across wheat fields to the Blackwater estuary. The coastal path is easily accessed nearby and the local lanes are lovely and quiet (and flat!) for cycling. Bradwell Marina and the ancient St Peter’s chapel are nice places to visit. There is a pub in the village about a mile down the lane and we had a good lunch there. I am a keen birdwatcher and was delighted to discover Bradwell Bird Observatory tucked behind the sea wall with its bird hide, reedbeds and dykes. I cannot recommend this CL enough - it’s a real gem.
