Cottage holiday rentals in Chelmsford

Gorgeous cosy cottage - just what we wanted. We stayed here with our 3 year old and 8 month old. The place is just as gorgeous as the photos and immaculately clean and comfortable. Kirran is a fantastic host with lovely little extras. 15 min drive from Diggerland and up the road from a lovely little Zoo. The hot tub was fab - would definitely recommend.

Great location and Paul was a very helpful and communicative host, even helping one of our guests recover some belongings they had left behind. Thank you very much, Emily

We'd just sold our house of 22 years and needed somewhere to stay for a few days and I was in such muddle I'd not even looked in any detail at where we were staying so arriving at Bethnal and Becs was a lovely surprise. Everything was luxury and quality. Chris and Vicky put a lot of energy and love into making the stay there relaxing. We loved the amazing double shower and the outside bath. Great walk to the Jolly Waggoners pub nearby. We hope to have an excuse to come back.

The White Cottage is a truly magical experience, and combined with Sally’s as the perfect host, we came away from our short break with memories that will last a lifetime. The location is breathtakingly peaceful. A garden within a garden set in landscape where time has good still. The stream that runs through garden is a playground for wildlife and you’ll be sharing your breakfast with ducks and moorhens. If you want a break oozing peace and quiet, a chance to unwind, and forget the day to day life the white cottage has it spades. Sally is a delightful host. Nothing is too much trouble. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. We loved it

The Old Farmhouse was one of the best equipped Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in. We particularly loved the hot tub and the four ponies/donkeys. Although you can walk around the fields surrounding the house, you have to drive to Finchingfield for food and drink etc. We had a Sainsbury’s supermarket delivery which worked well.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

we have stayed at the cottage before and it never fails .When we stepped in it felt like coming home !!!! . the secure parking and lovely garden are such a bonus,as is the hot tub. lovely pub next door with great food .Rowland gives clear instructions about access and the keyless entry makes coming and going so easy,no worries about who has the key !!! if you are looking for cozy and quirky this is the place.

Me and my friends stayed for a long weekend. The house is beautifully furnished. Every bedroom is as nice as the next. Fishing was on our itinerary, and didn’t disappoint. The lake was very much private and the boats were a worthwhile addition. I (we) couldn’t recommend higher.

Kate’s cottage was lovely, very spacious and was perfect for what we needed, would definitely stay again, Kate was a perfect host, responded to messages promptly and was very friendly and helpful, thanks again for all your help

Really loved our stay in Wivenhoe, this was a return visit as we’d had such a lovely experience with this AirBnB before. Beautiful accommodation, so close to everything. Had lovely walks with the dog, visited fab places to eat. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem, only minutes from Cambridge & the IWM Duxford. We used one if the nearby ParknRides to go into Central Cambridge, great idea, easy use. David was a great host, discrete, helpful & responsive. Clock Cottage was comfy & well stocked. Thank you, we had a lovely stay.

Lovely cottage, bang in the middle of town, lotsa local walks and nice delis/pubs/shops. Downsides? None. We’ll be back.

We had a short but very pleasant break at Buttercup Cottage. The bed is super comfy and the house has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The stairs are pretty steep but there are very well placed handles and motion sensor night lights, so that you don't take a tumble in the night on the way to the loo. Very considerate. A lovely characterful property.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at the Barn Annexe. Our stay was perfect. The annexe is clean , very comfortable, peaceful and a beautiful location . We really rated the annexe and would love to return. If you want a perfect restful place to stay this is the one. Plus our dog loved the massive garden as did we. Highly recommended. Thanks Jon and Zoe for being perfect hosts .

Henry met us shortly after we arrived and made us feel very relaxed and at home. The property felt homely with everything we needed and we settled in quickly. Henry gave us information of local walks and amenities, which we found very helpful. We brought our dog Poppy, who Henry welcomed as much as us, which again helped us feel comfortable. We had beautiful walks and went to the Swan in Holbrook which is a short walk away before relaxing and listening to the birds and wildlife to send us to sleep, before waking to the amazing sounds of nature. I cannot rate this property and it's location highly enough, we enjoyed every moment and will look to return again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Reading Rooms. Fabulous accommodation and a lovely restored cottage with many original features. The location was brilliant for walking to the local shops, pub and recreation ground. We also drive into Cambridge both days which only took 25 minutes. We will definitely try to stay again and visit gorgeous Linton!

A great place to stay. Very easy check in. Lovely location. Charlie was very helpful when we had a booking query…very friendly and supportive. Have already booked to return 👍😊 and very much looking forward to staying there again in November 😊

Really lovely stay very spacious for 4 people. Amanda was very helpful and quick to respond, would be happy to stay again. Thank You

Sarah and Scott are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and welcoming yet valued our privacy. The independent suite was super clean and cozy, and had everything we needed. The property itself is in a rural area, which we appreciated for its peacefulness, but it does require a car.

The Old Tuck Shop is the loveliest place we have stayed. Beautifully furnished with bags of character, and everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The location is perfect. A great pub nearby and a short walk into Rochester centre. Katie was the ideal host - helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommended! I really hope we can make another visit soon.

We stayed for 2 nights as we were attending a funeral at Old Park Meadow, just a few minutes drive away. This was a perfect place to return to after a sad day, lovely location by the brook and the surrounding countryside was very pretty. The apartment had everything that we needed, including a cafetière for fresh coffee in the morning. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. Great hosts.

This was a business booking for a group of our employees - a perfect property to accommodate all their needs. Thank you!

We stayed in this cottage over the weekend and it was perfect. It felt like a home away from home. The location is fantastic as you're less than 5 minutes from the beach and shops and restaurants. Whitstable is a great costal town too with much to offer. I recommend going to Whitstable and staying in this cottage. It has everything you need. Sue is a great host too, being attentive, informative and very helpful. We would like to come back. Thanks Sue

Norsey Cottage was absolutely wonderful and Matt was so accommodating for us and made check in super easy. Would easily give 6 stars if possible! The cottage is cosy and comfortable with everything you need, And was perfectly located to get us into London as its so close the train station, the high street has so many restaurant's close by too. cannot recommend enough, Thanks again Matt! Would stay again in a heartbeat!
