Boat

Beautiful boat, Amazing location

LindseyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We had a wonderful time on Brads boat. Everything we needed and nothing too much trouble. Such a beautiful setting, could have watched the world go by for hours sitting on top deck. The onsite restaurant was lovely too. We weren’t there for long enough to enjoy the local walks and pub but wished we had. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

Cottage by the Castle

EmmaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Clare’s place was a gentle stroll in to Fram, which is so pretty. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, all Clare’s instructions were very clear. Her communication was excellent and very prompt. I would definitely recommend her cottage to anyone who would like a stay in Framlingham. Thank you.

Cabin

Log Cabin Getaway

AlinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! What a beautiful little place to stay at! Our family had a great time! Spacious cabin with all amenities. Fire pit, and hot tub were great additions! Booked the massages at Zen @ Venn which were so worth it! Do it! We didn't book the games room or pool as we had a dog and baby with us so didn't think we would be able to make full use. Some other reviews mentioned the parking, it does not take away from the atmosphere and it is not in an industrial estate, that's an exaggeration. It is right in front of the cabin and the whole stay was great. Bedrooms were big and enough space for 6 adults, a dog and a baby. Two bathrooms, shower and bath. Hosts were so responsive and the welcome hamper was such a lovely touch. Thank you ❤️ We will be coming again!

My family and I had an amazing time away thanks to Rachael. She was an amazing host, very communicative and even allowed us to have a late check out as there wasn’t anyone staying on the day we were leaving. Highly highly recommend Rachael and this home!

Lola’s Luxury Holiday Lodge - beautiful sea views

HayleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We always have an amazing time staying here. The lodge is high quality with stunning sea views. Marc and Sarah have truly thought of everything – the lodge was fully stocked with all the essentials and even included lovely personal touches like fresh flowers and crème eggs on arrival! The hot tub overlooking the sea is a highlight, and it was great knowing the kids have a safe place to hang out in the wider holiday park. We would absolutely love to come back again!

Bungalow

The Summerhouse in Snape

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We stayed at the Summerhouse for about a week over the Easter holidays with our 1 and 6 year old. We loved it and would definitely return. Miranda made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make our stay a great one. The shared games room and trampoline were big hits with our boys. It was so great to have an enclosed garden they could safely play in and be seen easily from indoors. We also liked puddle spotting after a rainy afternoon along the long lane that takes you onto the farm and walking along the edges of the field! Easy to get to without a car with the Katch bus service and lots to enjoy on the doorstep with Snspe Maltings a 10 min walk away. From there, we took a boat trip, walked with the RSPB and did a family music workshop as well as walking in and around the beautiful landscape.

Place to stay

Beautiful blue beach hut in Frinton-on-Sea

SteveRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Really great location for the beach: right next to a set of steps down and also near a water tap for teas/ foot cleaning. Was a little difficult to clean up at the end of the day, so recommend you clean your feet off before tramping sand in when using: we didn’t so took a while for us to sweep/mop.

Farm stay

Tranquil relaxing rural 2 bedroom farm location

Jennifer HintonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We are slowly walking the English Coastal path. Wendy's place was superbly situated for the stretch from Maylandsea to halfway down towards Burnham-on-Crouch. We were lucky with continuous dry (though windy!) weather, and did exactly what we had planned to do, and the mobile home was a nice place to return to in the evenings. So we are very satisfied customers of AirbandB.

Home

A lovely spacious family home to help you relax.

JamesRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had a wonderful stay for Christmas with the in-laws. Matt was very responsive and helpful before the booking and throughout. The house is lovely and even nicer than the photographs. The communal space is spacious and well set out. It was very cosy and ideal for hosting the family. We couldn’t recommend more highly!
