Kid-friendly holiday rentals in City of Colchester

The Nook is a lovely space, in a quiet location. We arrived to a clean and well-kept accomodation with thoughtful amenities. Margaret was very friendly and helpful. Overall, I would recommend The Nook.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at the studio. The space was welcoming and clean. I would have preferred a larger bed but it was comfortable. Just a matter of taste. Breakfast was a nice touch.

Our group of six—two adults, one young adult, and three teenagers—had a very comfortable stay at Lesley’s lovely home. It, indeed, felt very much like a home and not just a rental property. There was ample space for all of us, and it was great to have three toilets and two showers. The location is superb—a short walk to coffee, restaurants, and the riverfront, which we enjoyed strolling along in the evening. A great place for a larger group to stay in Wivenhoe!

Gita is a wonderful host and her place I couldn't fault it. We have stay there various times while we have been working in Colchester and found it one of the best places to stay. we would recommend this to family & friends and we hope to return soon.

beautiful home will definitely stay again thanks Christine 😊

We had a great stay, the house was stocked with everything we could need. Love the extra touches of brownie/bread/milk etc left for us. Great for little children too, use of cot, high chair and baby cutlery provided was much appreciated! Enclosed garden and private driveway are a bonus as well. Very quick responses when we had a couple of queries. We hope to stay again on future trips to Colchester. Thanks Rob and Louise!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy English cottage! From the moment we arrived, Sarah made us feel so welcome. She truly went above and beyond—every little extra she left in the home made our stay feel special and thoughtful. The cottage itself was spotless and beautifully maintained, filled with authentic British charm that made it peaceful and relaxing throughout our stay. It had everything we needed and more—every amenity was thoughtfully provided. The location couldn’t have been more perfect: just a short walk to the main area of town and right across the street from the railroad station, which made getting around so convenient. This was the perfect countryside escape, and we’re so grateful for Sarah’s hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful house in a lovely location. Was so nice to be able to look out the window and see sheep and cows in the morning! So peaceful as well! Such a lovely pub up the road we made use of that a few times as well in walking distance too. Cressie was very quick to answer my messages and the welcome manual was very helpful she as even very kind and left a bottle of wine! Highly recommend and lots to visit locally.

Had a great stay. Location is ideal on the waterfront, close to restaurants. Hosts very good. Would go back.

Excellent stay at Judith's apartment. I've stayed on a number of occasions and the apartment is always presented in immaculate condition. Central location is very beneficial. Guaranteed I'll be returning.

Lovely and beautiful accommodation. All clean and has everything you need, including tea and milk! Much appreciated an arranged earlier check in, which was important to us. Overall a great stay!

Lovely flat. Spotlessly clean, walking distance to the town centre and has parking! Cindy left clear instructions for everything and even had folders of local things to do and takeaway menus. Would highly recommend.

Very pleasant stay. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, just what I needed. Teresa was a lovely host. I would definitely recommend this place.

We had a comfortable stay at the flat which is located in a quiet area but close to the shops and cafes. We enjoyed the views across the estuary which was a short walk away.

This was our third time staying at Heidi's place - we love it! And the little touches that Heidi leaves make it even more special - after a long drive, getting in with our dog, to find a bowl of water already out waiting for him makes a huge difference! Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Lovely central stay, everything is on the doorstep. Welcoming and friendly host who’s made a homely place to stay. Comfy furnishings, light airy space and all the essentials are thought of. Thanks for a relaxing stay Christine.

I ended up cancelling, however, the host was most accommodating, responded to my messages within minutes and will be booking to stay at a future date.

properties are very nice split level property that reminds me of an old Edwardian type property. It’s been very nicely done out the hot tub is really good and just generally everything just worked. The location is really good and we’d love to come back.

We stayed here for a couple of days whilst visiting family in Frinton. It was peaceful, extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. Carole's garden was very lovely with a friendly dog running around. Carole herself was friendly, relaxed and helpful. Well situated for Frinton and surrounding area. Definitely recommended.

Clean, well furnished flat with just the right amount of style and quirkiness. Oc’s communication was friendly and informative. Quiet area next to a nice woodland. Well worth the price paid.

A really nice flat which has everything conveniently labelled. Nita is a lovely host, going the extra mile to message and check everything was okay as well as leaving amenities. Communication was brilliant

Great place in prime location on the seafront . Place was bigger than expected and had everything you could need and more for a week’s stay . Really clean and tidy . Plenty of treats left for us and the dogs . Overall really happy with apartment and location . Will definitely stay again .

I had a very comfortable stay here, with everything I needed. Ann and John were very welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home. It is ideally placed for getting to both Cambridge and lovely countryside. I would definitely recommend staying here.

we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Samantha was very helpful, and easily contactable. The views were amazing. great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha for a lovely stay.
