Family-friendly holiday rentals in Epping Forest District

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

Reggie is by far one of the most attentive, helpful, and kind hosts I’ve ever encountered. His exceptional hospitality truly exceeded my expectations and made my stay unforgettable. I was genuinely surprised—in the best way—by how thoughtful and accommodating he was. Thank you so much, Reggie!

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at the River View barn. The barn was lovely and so peaceful with a beautiful view. We had such a great time and would recommend this to everyone.

Such a lovely place and very private with gorgeous views and fields around, would definitely come back in the future

This was my second visit to Carol-Anne's beautiful flat, and it definitely won't be the last. I love everything about it. Minutes from the Northern Line and with an abundance of little shops minutes down the road, I felt at home and could easily get anywhere in or out of London. Clean, beautifully decorated, and on a lovely quiet street. I couldn't have been happier and hated to leave.

Our short stay at Debbie’s flat was so good! She let us pay £10 per each hour before check in time which was so worth it as we arrived with 4 kids in the morning so it was nice to check in around 11 and get our bags settled so we could spend the rest of the day exploring! The flat was so cute and free of clutter, comfortable, and such easy walking distance from Kings Cross so it was very easy to get around. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and we would honestly want to stay there again if we make our way back to London! Thank you so much for everything!

Absolute lovely place in a quiet area of London. The flat is exactly as described and it has everything you need for a short or long stay. Totally recommended, would love to come back!

Amazing London flat! BEST check in (with John) we’ve ever had at Airbnbs- he is amazing & u will want him to stay & socialize after he aptly explains home features & mini instructions! Public transit is close & walkable from flat which is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood Highly recommend staying here if you want to explore London!

The place couldn't be any better: clean, beautiful and had everything we needed.

Lovely stay at a beautiful cottage! Bryan and katy were so helpful and the homemade bread, butter and jam was so thoughtful! Cory my dog loved the walks and the nice cool woods down the bottom of the garden! Gutted I didn’t see more deer in the field opposite the main house! The five bells inn and tiger inn were lovely for food! Walk to wye well worth it as well even though I took the long route!!! Deffo recommend and will return soon!

We returned to this accomodation after staying in it a couple of years ago as we really appreciated the flexible check in and how beautiful the location/ barn were. Extremely peaceful area and very clear instructions on how to find/ get in - would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this little house, everything you need for a stay away from home. Great location and the garden is a little sun trap. The bath is also amazing we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely, relaxing stay here with 3 adults and 2 dogs. The house was beautifully decorated and felt very homely. Beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided. Netflix available on TV and a secluded garden to sit in if you wanted to. Even though the property is in the owners garden, it felt very private. Lots of walking to be found in the National Trust garden and woodland, which is right behind the house. We ate at the dog friendly Six Bells pub 5 minutes down the road and the food and service were excellent. Thank you to the hosts for a wonderful stay.

Really great place to stay. Perfect location to have as a base for exploring the area. Would definitely come again

I cannot fault Lewis’s place, it’s a perfect airbnb. Location is phenomenal, little touches like lovely toiletries & cereal were so thoughtful. Stay here if you can, it’s really great.

Absolutely great place,it does look 100% way better then what you see in pictures Literally you can get there the most peaceful getaway ,we already recommended this place to friends and we will definitely use this place again Worth for the price 100%.

We LOVE this place! Super relaxing, perfect surroundings. The garden is fabulous, we made the most of the sunshine this weekend!

Van is in one of the best spots for views and privacy. Very comfortable with everything you need close by. Another fab stay.

Lovely place with great facilities and Wendy was so nice and welcoming.

How to start?? I would highly recommend Charles' place! When you get there and go up the stairs, you might think it's not going to be good. However, when you open the door you'll be taken back as to how beautiful his place is!! I felt right at home! Charles had wine, milk, OJ, bread and eggs. The sleigh bed was not only comfy but so pretty. He had great darkening curtains which also serve as a divider from the living room. The shower was welcoming. If I come back to London, I'd stay at Charles' place!

We had a lovely week in Plantagenet and really cannot recommend it enough; the cottage really exceeded our expectations. The garden is phenomenal. It was a private and tranquil escape and our collie thoroughly enjoyed doing laps of the large garden despite the rainy weather. We loved it from the moment we arrived and didn't want to leave. The cottage is well equipped, has a great cosy ambiance with lots of indoor and outdoor game options no matter what the weather. The communication with Tim&Maite was friendly and responsive, we particularly appreciated the slightly late check out. We are hoping to book again soon with more of our family joining us.

The lodge is absolutely beautiful, and stunningly clean and well equipped. We had a very relaxing few days, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the hot tub. Also ate at a couple of places recommended by Sarah & Marc and they were both excellent. Would definitely return!

Thank you so much for giving Sandra and me the experience of staying at 'Chisolms', your beautiful cottage attached to your family home; located in magnificent grounds. The guest book comments are testament to how much the previous guests enjoyed their stay.
