Farmstay holiday rentals in Essex

Dealtrees Farm was excellent, everything as described but much better than expected. Any queries raised were answered promptly and the host was very accommodating to our requests. Would definitely recommend this accommodation. It was fantastic.

The Olde Forge was a great find. The accommodation is perfect for a couple and a dog. The place is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom has hanging space for clothes and plenty of room. The vaulted ceiling is impressive. The bathroom has a great shower with plenty of hot water and good power. The Faith in Nature products were a bonus. We particularly liked the fact that Marianne thinks about the environment and organic/biodegradable products are used. The area is very beautiful and picturesque. We cooked a breakfast but ate out the rest of the time with plenty of local eateries available and all were very good.

What we liked the most was the location of the house, in the heart of the English countryside. Very quiet and wonderful nature place. The house was cozy. Suzanne has been very friendly and very communicative.

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.

A lovely cabin in a beautiful setting with chickens and ducks all around. We loved playing cricket and the kids had a great time in the woods. The cabin itself was lovely - spacious and had everything you needed. The fresh bread and eggs was a lovely touch too. We struggled a little bit with streaming videos with the Wi-Fi - but otherwise a fabulous place. I’d recommend dinner at the Bell Inn down the road - dog friendly and lovely homemade food!

Andy was a fantastic host and gave clear instructions on getting to the location and how to get in. The replies were also quick when I had questions to ask on the day and thankfully Andy was there to respond quickly. The house was in good condition and was clean and tidy ready for mine and my partner’s arrival. I and my partner had a lovely time and was a well needed break, there were also plenty of animals around the location which made it even better for us to watch them. Would recommend to anyone needing a little peaceful getaway for those who also love nature.

Fantastic stay with my family. We have outgrown a caravan holiday and this was absolutely perfect for us. Private but with neighbours. Very relaxing. Wonderful to have a fully functional kitchen with all you need to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner! Hidden treasure!

I couldn't believe how nice The Buttery was for the price. A really tranquil venue and a great find. Thanks for a lovely stay. Matt

We have just spent a long weekend at Ashmi's lovely house with our children, their partners and our grandchildren. The house was well equipped for all our needs and the welcome pack was well received. We loved the hot tub which we used several times during our stay. We spent a day at Duxford Airfield which is literally 10 mins down the road. If I had to say anything that could be improved it would be that maybe a few more pillows could be provided as some of the group struggled with just one pillow each, but it certainly didn't affect our enjoyment. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a large house to spend time with either family or friends.

This place is 5 star in everyway. Tina was an excellent host and very responsive. The place was very spacious and clean. Comfy king bed and good shower. There’s a lovely welcome pack. Outside there’s a big outdoor setting overlooking fields and a fully fenced paddock to exercise your dog. Definitely be back!

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.

Judith was the most attentive host. Answering questions in a jiffy and nothing was too much trouble. My daughter and I are vegan and Judith went to the effort of getting us some vegan treats which was hugely appreciated. Everything was catered for. There was a tent pitched next to us and it had lovely neighbours in. The only shame was that we couldn’t pet the horses. They are beautiful. We especially loved all of the flowers potted around the area. Thank you ☺️

We had a lovely 5 night stay. The cottage was comfortable and well furnished, and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. There were a couple of low doorways which were fine for me but my husband had to remember to duck. The surroundings were beautiful countryside and the host was friendly and easy to contact with any questions. We would recommend this property.

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

A beautiful cottage with everything we needed in a peaceful rural environment. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay at Wendy's place in Bradwell-on-Sea with my family. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It’s in a peaceful spot, perfect for unwinding, and just a short walk to the beach and scenic coastal paths. The place was well-equipped and comfortable. My daughter loved feeding Alpacas and Chickens. Would definitely recommend for a quiet family getaway!

We had a lovely short stay at the barn. Great accommodation with everything you need, in a peaceful and tranquil location

The Stables is a delightful property, well equipped, beautifully decorated, comfortable and peaceful. Sara and Rob were the most welcoming and helpful hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this perfect rural setting.

The quality of the accommodation is second to none with the smallest things thought about and catered for. It's bright, modern, comfortable and set in a beautiful field overlooking lovely, expansive views. Whilst the cabins sit side by side, they have been cleverly spaced and shielded with trees so that you are completely unaware that you have neighbours. The pizza and hot tub were fantastic additions and we came as a family with oldies, a four yr old and three dogs, finding everyone extremely well catered for. There was plenty of space to walk and run the dogs uninhibited and an excellent play area that kept the little one busy. Add to this her daily trip to the hens to look for eggs and she was delighted. We would highly recommend to any age group, families and just dog parents as there was plenty of parking and no corners have been cut, meaning everything has been done to make one’s stay really comfortable and well served. We definitely give it ten out of ten!

A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. It also had that more difficult to attain "presence", with each room allowing you to relax and experience its homeliness and history. The whole family (6 adults and 2 grandchildren) thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. No-one really wanted to leave. Waking up to see the expanse of manicured gardens from bedroom windows and breakfast room was a calming relaxing pleasure. Plenty of walks available, and the walk to the local pub for an evening meal was safe and easy along quiet country roads. Would certainly recommend.

Spacious cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very helpful hosts with excellent communication. Really enjoyed the fresh eggs - worth the stay just for them. Two friendly collies on the grounds who will wear you out throwing sticks and balls!

A lovely quiet spotlessly clean and perfect stay. Very comfortable bed and crisp clean linen and towels. Everything you need in the property and everything works. Christine is friendly and welcoming. Great countryside walks to clear the head after a day’s work. Look forward to staying again.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb as guests to a wedding near by. The house was very comfortable and roomy enough for 6 adults. We loved the space

David was an amazing host! The space was clean, and he was incredibly responsive. It was exactly what we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.
