House holiday rentals in Essex

We were pleased to find accommodation available where we could all stay and have a bed, have our second Christmas Day and generally be together with lots of space. Having the pool to enjoy was a particular bonus as most of us enjoy the water.

A lovely caravan in a beautifully quiet location with a great view, but on a park which offers lots of activities and facilities. Really comfortable beds. Ideal for couples as 3 doubles. Sharon always replied quickly when I messaged and was helpful. I’m sure we will be back in the future.

We booked this place last minute, but it turned out to be a great choice. A large property that amply accommodated our group.

Very comfortable, well equipped caravan. Travel cot easy to put in largest bedroom. Good amenities, bonus of small bath ideal for babies. Lovely decking area which catches the sun and clear easy instructions for access. Will be booking again!

Had a fantastic stay at Kristians house. Great communication, Kristian was very responsive, replying immediately to any query. House had everything you would need and in a great peaceful location. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for being a great host . It is a very special place. Homemade jam and bread in the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Nayland village was a great base to explore the coast and countryside. Easy to access to river for paddle boarding and fishing , with a great pub serving good food right on the river.Hopefully we will be able to return soon . Thanks again to your wonderful mum for the lift to our car.

A wonderful stay. The pool was warm and a great addition to the stay. A shame to leave! Highly recommend.

Owner was lovely.very nice break well catered for and had everything you needed, couldn't have asked for much more really,thank you for a lovely stay ,felt like beeing at home .

Had a lovely stay here. Found the rooms really spacious and comfortable. It’s a peaceful location yet near the city and has A12 access for a quick getaway. The coffee shop and Coop a few minutes walk away were also really handy for the morning boost and to shop.

Matt was a great host and very responsive. The house was a great location, close to Colchester and our wedding venue in Feering. Rooms were spacious, great communal area, kitchen and living room. All utensils provided. Would highly recommend

We had the pleasure of staying for an entire month in this immaculate property where we immediately felt at home. Located in a quiet residential area but close to local amenities the facilities are excellent and the hosts go above and beyond to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Ria’s place was fantastic.Great location minutes from the sea front.Spotless clean and everything you needed was there .Very good selection of toys which the baby loved.Everything was so easy to use from the shower to the hob and oven etc . Ria even made arrangements to have the house ready for us from 11am when we enquired if we could just drop our bags off early as we’d been travelling from 4 am. That to us was an amazing gesture 🤩

Perfect destination there was a gym and shop, one minute away for your property felt right at home. Thanks again.Kev

we had a lovely stay at Rosemary's Retreat. Very comfortable and quiet, away from main road. There was plenty of tea and coffee, including a coffee machine with Tassino pods. Rosemary was very welcoming, a first class host. we would definitely stay here again

Leslie has a host was amazing and couldnot do enough to make sure we had a great stay. The house was lovley and clean and had everything we needed.

What a fabulously situated Airbnb! We loved our recent overnight exploring a little of the local area. We had a great meal a stones throw from our comfortable bed and a good shower too. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay at Laurel House for our sons wedding . Tina is a very helpful host and the house is spotlessly clean and really well kitted out with lots of frsh towels bathrodes and even slippers ! Close to local shops and Chingford High street / train station .

Johans house is stylish and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully equipped and very welcoming with its abundance of plants. It is on a quiet residential street within a 10 minute walk of Wood Street Station for transport to the city, and a 10 minute walk to the open spaces of Lloyd Park. Johan was a super-responsive host who sorted out a couple of minor problems we had very quickly. He could not have been more helpful. Thankyou Johan.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property which was in pristine condition. Very close to the university which was exactly what we needed for this visit. The free parking space round the back was super convenient. The house was well stocked with all the essentials and some luxuries too - a nice surprise. We'd like to thank our hosts for having the property ready for us in such a welcoming way. This was definitely one of the best places we've stayed at in Colchester in this price range, with lovely hosts too. We're looking forward to our next visit.

This house is absolutely beautiful, so characterful and charming with the most gorgeous grounds and gardens. Jo was an amazing host and so helpful in advance of our trip, providing lots of tips and ideas for things to do in the area. We were 3 families with small children and she provided 2 travel cots and 3 high chairs - brilliant! We will definitely be coming back. The children fed the alpacas, ducks and chickens and played all weekend in the glorious garden.

Our operatives enjoyed their stay at Andy's place, we extended our stay beyond the original term. Great host, great communication, would recommend.

We used Mairi's cottage as a base for a few days discovering the area of Melford and Lavenham. The house was very homely and comfortable. There are some improvements being made in the garden, but this did not impact on our stay. It was still nice to sit on the patio area, and enjoy the view. Mairi kept close communication with us, and informed us of anything we might to know. It was a lovely visit to the area.

I love that the house is close by for visiting family. everything was perfect.

Second time here, nice peaceful and quiet area no to busy for location.
