Homely 3 bedroomed caravan on Mersea Island, Essex
Van is in one of the best spots for views and privacy. Very comfortable with everything you need close by. Another fab stay.

Spacious Country Home - Hot Tub and Seasonal Pool
Laura's house was the perfect accommodation for us. It was very spacious and very near to a family event. We went to Maldon for the morning and did a walk from the house to the lakes in the afternoon. All very central, yet very peaceful surroundings. Thank you for letting us stay at your fantastic property.

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views
Stayed here with 10 guys. There is ample room to sit together to have dinner, a large enough lounge for everyone to relax and all spaced that require less clothing is very private and not overlooked. The upper balcony is shared with a bedroom from 16A, but I assume that is not in use when the place is booked. Driveway is shared with adjacent property but you can still fit 4 cars. Hot tubs extremely well maintained. Furniture is in excellent condition. Furnishings are modern and tasteful. All kitchen appliances work with ample crockery and cutlery. Beds are very comfortable and allow flexible sleeping arrangements. Bathrooms were very clean.

Writer's Cottage at Shore Hall
Spent a lovely few days, we had planned to go out and about but we the grounds were so lovely we didn't need to. Lara was always available if we needed but we were left to ourselves to relax and enjoy the cottage and grounds. My kids want to go back already!

Bear House, Nayland, Suffolk
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Bear House. Marcus is a fantastic host, replying promptly and helping whenever we had questions. His house and gardens are spectacular and we loved our swim in his natural swimming pool. Nayland village is beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk along the river spotting a heron, several varieties of poppy and admiring the riverside houses on the way to the Anchor pub. We also enjoyed brunch at the old mill and a meal at the Angel, which is 5 minutesβ drive away in Stoke-by-Nayland.

Private, two bed accommodation in medieval house
Patsieβs accommodation is unique and second to none. In the center of the delightful village of Nayland, facing the church spire and clock, surrounded by scenic footpaths.

Skyfall
Great place with stunning views. Really well set up and Lee super accommodating in general.

Stylish Victorian house, close to City Centre
Rebeccaβs property was as described and was extremely pleasant! Would stay here again for a short weekend.

The Orchard Cottage
We had the perfect stay at the Orchard Cottage. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage was lovely, and so too was the welcome basket, Jo and Dave had thought of everything. We had honey from Dave and Jo's bees, chocolates, a delicious cake and a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge. The garden and orchard were beautiful, it was great to be able to relax and unwind.

Alma Street 2 bed
Clean, tidy and warm. The stairs are steep but we were warned in the description. Beds comfortable.

The Gildhall
Had a wonderful stay in this delightful, beamed farm house with great character. Lots of space inside with large lounge and dining room and nice sized bedrooms. Large kitchen with AGA cooker. Gardens are beautiful, so well maintained, peaceful and lovely walks through the countryside. Perfect for a nice relaxing break. Local farm shop a few minutes drive away has all you would need plus there's a very nice restaurant too.

We had a lovely relaxing few days staying at number 18. Very clean comfortable and quiet but walking distance to the beach pubs restaurants and Watersports. Great family break.

#4BR Sleeps7 -BIG Discounts-Contractors/Insurance#
Had a lovely stay here. Found the rooms really spacious and comfortable. Itβs 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.

Cottage in Sudbury
We had a wedding close by and this AirBnb was a perfect find! Great value for money and perfect spot for a weekend getaway. This was our first trip with our puppy and Hannah made it all the more convenient. Would definitely recommend!

The Old Steam Mill, Luxury in a beautiful location
A very good stay, and the best bit is the garden - it was actually much better than expected. The whole place was very calming. The owner was also super helpful about an unexpected change of dates.

Georgian Farmhouse in Serene Countryside
We stayed in Katieβs accommodation to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday. The accommodation is gorgeous and has everything you need. We really appreciated having an en-suite in every bedroom. Lots of entertaining rooms downstairs and beautiful large garden. Would highly recommend this accommodation for large family gatherings. Perfect for all ages. Thank you

Spacious 3 Bedroom Family House with Workspace
Lovely stay, host answered all questions promptly. Very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you

2 bed family home, 5 min drive from the beach
I had a lovely stay here with my son and dog. We came to clacton to visit family and it was ideally positioned for this. The local rugby field is just behind the house, which was ideal for walking the dog. Would definitely stay again.

Coastal Gem
Great location for attending a wedding at Villiers Barn. House is really well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Gemma was really responsive prior to our stay and provided lots of useful information re the local area, places to eat etc. The hot tub was a big hit with all of us, particularly our 5 year old grandson!
