Set in two acres of beautiful gardens and boasting spectacular views of the Blackwater Estuary, Bellropes is the perfect place to get away from the daily routine and relax. The main house offer 6 spacious rooms (2 King rooms, 2 twin rooms, 1 Double room and 1 Single room). The double and one king room are interlinked, making them great for families. There are a further 6 double en suite bedrooms in a chalet-style accommodation block and a further two king/twin en suite bedrooms in the garden rooms, which are also interlinked. Please ask if you need any clarification. Nobody will need to queue for the shower in the mornings, as 11 bedrooms have their own en suite shower and toilet. The main social spaces include the recently refurbished open plan kitchen diner offering panoramic views of the garden and estuary, and a spacious living room for everyone to enjoy. The outside areas are brilliant, with excellent facilities for barbecues on the patio area complete with a large rustic table where you'll all have space to sit, chat, drink and eat as the sun dips beneath the horizon. There is plenty of space to kick a ball about or play Frisbee in the garden or even take a stroll over the footbridge and feed the fish in the secure fenced pond. Roam the Essex countryside with miles of footpaths right on the doorstep before relaxing in the hot tub. Alternatively there are plenty of local activities, such as clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, sea fishing, sailing and golf (to name but a few) to keep you entertained! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 14 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 11 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,646 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73780000/73770400/73770318/71efce43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Remote, Comfort, Sea Views, and the romance of the beautiful Essex Marshes - The Wobbin Tollesbury - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-08&endDate=2026-02-09&selected=73770318&PinnedHotelID=73770318&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73780000/73770300/73770284/2c35717c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hexagon - Wow.

Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway We needed a property big enough to accommodate 13 people and Bellropes was perfect. Great kitchen, big enough to seat everyone and fully equipped with everything we needed. Garden was huge and being able to get to the beach was an added bonus, if a little further away than the 5 minutes stated.Would definitely recommend for large families wanting a homely place to get-together.Garde ##### Vicky T.
