Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in City of Colchester

We had a great stay at Svaja's place! The room was very clean, just like in the pictures. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet. Svaja was super helpful and quick to respond. Check-in was easy, and we felt right at home. We highly recommend this place.

Lovely spacious and very well equipped first floor apartment- easy allocated parking just below balcony. We loved staying there and the host was wonderful!

We had such a perfect stay here. We’re already talking about when we can book another visit! Super comfortable and cosy, the listed amenities made it so easy to have a relaxed time and switch off; we also didn’t have to pack that much. The hot-tub was amazing, and a great idea having a booking system in place. If we were staying for longer we still would have had plenty to do. Wifi was great and plenty plug sockets for charging phones/laptops. Went for a meal at the local pub down the road which was amazing too! Lovely views, nice and peaceful surroundings. You can hear the road from the hot-tub and decking chairs, but not enough to spoil the experience at all. Simon was super welcoming and helpful. I can imagine a place like this to be perfect to stay in during any season. It was both sunny and raining when we went, and it didn’t spoil the stay at all. Cannot wait to stay there again soon!

Kamil was Very friendly and helpful

Great place, easy access, clean and comfortable

This place was great as so close to the town and getting around, clean and lovely little touch of milk, bread and cereals. beds very comfortable

Thank you Sean for all the great stays we have had - we have become very fond of this cosy apartment overlooking the pier, with great views in every direction and a brilliant collection of local artwork.

Sammy was there to welcome us into her home. The room was very clean as was the ensuite shower room. The super kingsize bed was very comfortable. Very convenient if you are staying in Dunmow.

Highly reccomend. We booked 6 nights while our house underwent some renovations. The house is immaculate, very tastefully decorated with every mod con included. Parking for 2 cars, quiet, peaceful and safe, and a short walk to train station into London. Ross was an excellent host, great communication and made us feel very welcome guests. We did not want to leave!

The Dragonfly was just exceptional! Everything about it was of the best standard, luxury. From the toilet paper to the bedding. There are 6 or 7 other venues on the White lodge estate run by Victoria but it all feels very private. Yes it is in a very quiet location and you need to drive to restaurants etc but the facilities to cater for yourself are pretty much as you have at home. Coffee maker with pods provided! We cannot really give high enough praise. We had 3 wonderful nights at the Dragonfly, thank you Victoria and all those who do the background stuff we never saw.

Beautiful house, great hostess! All you need for a long stay, short walk to town. Many thanks Priyasma, you did great! We’ll be back!

The house was absolutely lovely. Gorgeous inside and out, and very comfortable to live in. The village is very quiet, but it's only a short drive into Colchester, where you can find tons of things to do. Chris was a great host who made check in easy and made us feel very welcome in his home. Would definitely stay again!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful farmhouse! The property is spacious, well-equipped, and has a stunning garden which the dogs loved. The quirky games room was a highlight, featuring a stripper pole, darts, football table, and pool table — lots of fun! The hot tub and gym were also great additions and made the experience feel extra special. The property was clean and tidy and well maintained. There were a couple of downsides worth mentioning: two bedrooms were very basic, with just mattresses on the floor, which wasn’t ideal and could be easily improved. Also, while we were fortunate that the second property on-site wasn’t occupied during our stay, it may not have felt so private if it were. Also completely out of the hosts control was the noise from building works on a new development being built but it was only during working hours and not a major inconvenience to us. Overall, a lovely, getaway with loads of character at a great price for what was included, we would return

Caroline came out to greet us as soon as we arrived and made us feel very welcome. She explained everything to us and recommended a local, walkable pub nearby and told us of places to visit on our way home. Her husband was also very friendly and informative. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Clean comfortable rooms, lovely shower. Very convenient for us as we had family in the area that we were visiting.
