Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Coach House
We had a lovely stay. House was as described, clean and had all the things we needed. Would recommend to friends and family.

Thatched Cottage in the countryside
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

4 Bed in Saffron Walden (85662)
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.

Toppesfield Hall Cottage: Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Games R
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.

2 Bed in East Bergholt (82399)
Loved the accommodation there is a big step from the veranda so be careful it was so nice to get in from a busy day sightseeing and jump in the hot tub.

Retreat pod vip
Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Staff were really nice and friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again thanks to Debbie Dan and Kit

Rural Cottage, Hot Tub, 10 Mins from Bury St Eds
A fabulous, well equipped home with a great view and visiting wildlife - pheasants, hares and swallows. Easy walking distance to Suffolk Barn for our family wedding and short drive to Bury St Edmunds. Very comfortable beds, fluffy towels and calming colour scheme. Extremely well equipped kitchen and generous welcome provisions made it easy to feel straight at home. We would love to come back to explore the local area and spend more time taking in the view and relaxing in the tub. Thank you to our hosts who were so accommodating and welcoming.

Jacuzzi, sauna, masseuse, chef, dog friendly
We went for our friend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The hot tub and Sauna was just lovely and very relaxing. Lovely cottage perfect for 4 people. The host was very responsive and recommended a fabulous restaurant nearby. I would advise to come to Diss by car as the cab service was not great so had difficulty getting about. You have to book cabs in advance. Overall it was Great weekend

Hour Cottage, Grade II Listed Victorian Cottage
A lovely little cottage in a stunningly beautiful village. It’s got everything you need and I very much appreciated the garden space at the back. Thoroughly cosy and comfortable, and Esther was a responsive and helpful host!

No. 2 Constable Court, Lavenham, Suffolk
A very enjoyable stay indeed. The accommodation provided everything we needed and our host was always responsive. The bed linen was soft and the beds very comfortable indeed. We should be happy to recommend Constable Court to future guests.

Dynes Cottage at Finchingfield Holiday Cottages
Peaceful stay at this lovely very large house. Kids were well catered for with the games room and big garden with swings. Everything with spotless and Catherine was so helpful. We loved it

Quirky 16th century cottage in Wattisham Suffolk
Sammy made us feel right at home from the minute we booked the cottage! It was exactly what our little family needed for a break away from London…it was a beautiful cottage and my kids adored every little corner of it! The fireplace was a hit as well as the cosy bedroom off the stairs upstairs! My little boy cried when we got home saying he misses the cottage!! We will definitely be back!!! It’s a gem!!!

Humperdink 2 Beach Rd St Osyth Clacton
We have a beautiful stay in lovely weather, an absolute dream for a toddler - so many toys, brilliantly set up with cot, high chair, steps for toilet, bath Mat - it was brilliant. Thank you very much!

Exceptional cottage by the coast - Felixstowe
The cottage was beautifully appointed, very comfortable and well equipped. I think it was even better than the photos! Everything was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The garden was lovely to sit in and secure for my dog. Nick advised us on the quieter dog walks and we had some lovely walks in the countryside and along the river, with some stunning views. I found that all the dog walkers I met were very considerate and put their dogs on leads even before they realised that mine was reactive. This made the walks much more relaxed than usual. Whilst I didn’t use my car all weekend, as it was just me and my dog, along with the walks there are many things to see and do in this area. I would love to come back with my husband and explore it further. I would definitely recommend the cottage.

Millie’s Cottage - Countryside View
Great little cottage with lovely garden furniture for coffees outside in the sun. Easy to check in and out, and lots of helpful recommendations from Shaun on the local area!

Fairytale Cottage in Constable Countryside
Exactly as described, the only thing if i was going to be hyper critical was that if you have a large car, the car parking space is quite tight, but that probably says more about my driving than anything else🤣

A fairy-tale luxurious cottage - The Tea Caddy
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 😊

Private and peaceful stay at Old Smithy Cottage
Easily one of the loveliest places I’ve stayed - beautiful setting and such a warm and welcoming cottage. Sue was a wonderful host and I felt right at home, able to switch off and relax from the minute I arrived. So glad I found this gem - I will definitely be back!

The Barn, beautiful rural retreat
Great one night stay. Easy to check in and super comfortable with all amenities necessary available. Would have liked to stay longer!

The Old Stables
This is an exceptional place to stay. Sarah and Marina are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They provide everything you might need and more. We would certainly recommend this airbnb and hope to come back. Thank you.

Unique cottage steps from the beach & waterfront
It’s the cutest and the tiniest house on Mersea island. Lovely staying there. The location is brilliant too, right near the sea and the fishing boats.

The Lodge at Middiford Barn
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.

Cozy two bedroom cottage in lower Wivenhoe
One of my favourite Airbnbs I ever stayed in! It’s beautiful, it’s very clean and you feel right at home. The host is lovely and very responsive. Also the area is very nice and we had a lovely time. I would 100% recommend!!
