Suzanne is brilliant. Professional, honest and reliable - cannot recommend her enough.

i live here and it is nice. :D

A first rate company who for many years have provided very professional advice and services married with a friendly and caring approach in an industry fraught with complications and difficulties.My business has benefitted from this expertise and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and in truth have done so numerous times with business associates. Their feedback has without question always been positive.

Sorted out our Tax Returns nicely and did not charge a lot , highly recommended

Have been shopping around for a reliable, honest and reasonably priced garage in the area and was recommended this place by friends, must say it ticks all the boxes👌

Serviced my mgf did a great job was very happy

I work for this friendly family run business as a senior technician, we are a small friendly team skilled in diagnostics, servicing, mot,s clutches, brakes, timing belts/chains and also classic car restoration/repair .

Trustworthy and top quality, friendly service. Would highly recommend MDS cars.

Alresford garage is our garage of choice. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Our current car was purchased from here and has been back for every MOT and service with a great experience each time. Highly recommended!

I have used this garage since 2000 and always had excellent service from the workshop, even on a troublesome Disco. I recently experienced similarly top class service from the sales department. I would recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a used car. Still going strong after 40 years.

Easy to find. Very good facilities (cafe, toilets ect.) Good auction rooms easy to check out your purchases before bidding

Good breakfast. Very slick auctions. But very slow getting the keys.

ETT is a Brilliant company with fantastic training and support. The lorries are all well kept and in a great condition. Robbo is a great instructor with the learners best interest at the center of everything he does. Mixed with his experience, knowledge & professionalism you cant go wrong. Hayley in the office is just as professional and looked after all my admin. I would highly recommend Essex driver training to anyone wanting to gaining their LGV licence.

Would like to say a big thank you to Paul and tony, both have been very helpful and provided a professional service. Thank you for helping me achieve a pass on my 1st attempt. Would highly recommend

Asked for a visit on a Monday and had excellent photographs plus video done, sold 2 days later. Excellent work Wivenhoe Haart, but it then got better and within 2 weeks after getting over the shock of selling the house so quickly we purchased the replacement. Father in law liked the photographs and video so much he had his house marketed with Jamie and his staff.

I have been delighted with the quick, helpful and efficient service provided by Haart Estate agents in Wivenhoe. My house sold and completed very quickly and I was kept regularly updated by Jamie Wass and his team particularly Charlie and Ann. My thanks to all concerned. Judy Fletcher

Grahame and his sons were an absolute pleasure to work with. Grahame is upfront and honest and DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO!! Which I really appreciated! He and his team were efficient, friendly and polite. They did a great job of repairing our decking and it's clear that Grahame takes pride in his work and is willing to take the time to get it right. Would definitely use them again.

Grahame and his team from Greenfingers did an excellent job removing an old fence, installing a new fence and clearing out a large, overgrown area for me. The guys went above and beyond what I was expecting, were polite and courteous throughout and extremely hard working. Grahame clearly takes pride in his business and what he does which shows in the work him and his team did for me. The quote was very reasonable and there were no hidden extras added on. I will be using Greenfingers again for any gardening work I have done in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I visited with a coach party on June 29th. It was a beautiful sunny day. The grounds are so well laid out and meticulously planned. The reservoir area is so relaxing and calming. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful and passionate about their work, which shines through in the outstanding plants they have on sale, all well looked after and watered. The price of the plants offer great value for money, with a wide selection to suit every pocket. They are able to offer such great value for money as everything is propagated on site and you are able to watch the staff at work. The cafe area is also outstanding, great food, great prices. The seating area is lovely, am outside area as well as an undercover area. The prices are excellent too. Neither the cafe nor the gift shop are overpriced, which is a rarity these days. I highly recommend anyone with even the most basic rudimentary grasp of gardening, to pay this amazing place a visit and come away truly inspired. Well done to you all.

We visited in June and the Dry Garden is free with lots of wonderful plants and flowers that will grow in dry soil and do not need to be watered. There is a small fee to go around Beth's beautiful garden with its ponds and a courtyard garden near the house. I would love to visit it again as, last time we went, they were extending and replanting a large plot away from the house. The Tea Room is great and so is the nursery with a huge choice of plants.

I personally don't have a motorcycle, but having known Gary for some years I was pleased to be able to recommended him to my best pal. Andy finally achieved his life goal of owning a fully restored 1971 Vespa 180SS, and was looking for an insurance company that understood and appreciated the cover he would need. He was so happy with Gary's service, he took me out for a pint to say thanks after. Highly recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Been seeding our dog to Ian & Chris for over 5 years, she just becomes one of the family and never seems to want to leave when I pick her up. Very professional and caring. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you.

We would recommend Elizabeth Jayne Photography to everyone who would like many special moments beautifully photographed in a relaxed and natural way. The photos of our wedding day are perfect and we could not have been happier with Liz as a photographer, she is fantastic and very professional. Liz came prepared to our wedding, arriving early to take shots of preparation and the venue, and is very friendly which puts everyone at ease in front of the camera. We wanted a relaxed approach to our photos with natural moments captured; Liz took incredible photos while blending effortlessly within guest to capture moments we would not have seen on our day, beautiful shots captured a lot of happiness and the memories really bring the day to life. Liz also choreographed our many guests for the few posed shots we had agreed prior to the big day. Liz and her second photographer took so many beautiful shots that we are having difficulty picking which are our favourites and cannot stop showing off our photos to everyone. When choosing Liz, you guarantee yourself amazing, high quality finish photos. Now we can't wait to use you for future photo sessions! Crystal & Jon

Elizabeth's passion really shows whilst she's shooting, making you feel comfortable and excited! I have final shots from each shoot that I have had proudly displayed around my home....Highly recommend!

Best Chinese around

Absolutely 5* service. Very reliable, friendly and honest local company. If you like a good chat, ask for Ken!

I like the Wivenhoe brach. The vet normally working there is nice yet straight talking. Same as all vets it seems expensive but normally I find they clearly give you the correct magnitude of costs up front.

So friendly and always very attentive to my pets
