Mansion holiday rentals in Essex

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.

Well appointed house in a quiet residential area. Hard to find 4 bedroom houses in this area so was very helpful to us that it was also in the area we preferred for access to family. Also close to Chelmsford and useful local shops. Very clean house with comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Kitchen is very well stocked with equipment. Garden looked nice though we didn’t use it. Parking on street outside - easy during the day but local roads become very full by the evening. Useful to have the driveway at the back as a back up. Security is high and access to host or local person was via doorbell ring intercom available 24hours a day as well as through the App. Host was very helpful. A comfortable stay.

My family and I loved our stay at the Dove House! The house is very clean and spacious, perfect for a family. It is walking distance to underground train stations, as well as shops. Soskia was an absolutely amazing host, and was very helpful throughout the stay with all our needs. We felt very comfortable throughout the stay and look forward to our next one!

We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 adjoined cottages as it gave extra space and privacy too. The games room is inspired - a refuge for older children or adults with table tennis, table football, a radio and outdoor games but an independent goal for our toddlers too with gocarts and balls. Walking routes from the door meant no travelling by car for us so we'll have to visit again to see some of the many sights we've yet to visit! There are quite a lot of stairs between all the cottages which the children loved but put their parents on guard! The views the hillside afforded though were magnificent. And the animals on the working farm were a source of delight. Well equipped, Kate was on hand should we have any queries.

Great stay at Aiste’s place - she was very accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Location was great - very central and places to eat nearby. Lots of room for a large group.

Our stay at Mark and Dee’s lovely home was wonderful. The location was truly perfect and completely convenient —lots of shops and restaurants and a 5 min walk to the central line. The home was beautiful with modern appliances, a lovely back garden, and enough space for our entire family to have their own bedrooms and baths. Lastly, Mark and Dee were always responsive and ready to help with any questions and or concerns that we may have had during our stay. We will definitely be staying at Mark and Dee’s again in the future.

Natalia's place was absolutely first class. The house is first class and has been refurbished to a very very high standard if anyone should try and find a fault with Natalia's they need to seek some professional help.

It was a great location only walking distance to Wansted tube station. The kids loved the trampoline and the space around the house as Richard had left lots of toys for them to play with. The house was nice and clean and had a drive way which allowed us to park our vehicle.

Ilham thank you for your great accommodation, proactive approach and support. the accommodation is very nice, in a quiet neighborhood with a very close bus stop and easy access to central London. the kitchen is also very well equipped.We will come again next time. Thx Gabriela

Wonderful stay, clean, warm and welcoming. Sussanah and Molly went above and beyond to help.

Melanie is a fantastic host—super friendly and always quick to respond. She goes above and beyond to describe local activities in detail, which really helped us plan our stay. The property itself is great, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that Melanie is a proactive host who genuinely cares about her guests’ experience. Highly recommend!

Lovely big property, very spacious with good amenities. Accommodation had an accessible room on the ground floor, with plenty of off street parking. The house was clean, and well kept. Can recommend if you’re a big group, all the rooms had their own bathrooms which was really helpful, a large dining room, and big kitchen. The garden was pleasant with outdoor seating. All in all it was great stay.

We stayed for the week as we was working in Colchester and everything was as described

We stayed at this property over the Christmas week to visit family. We needed a home with 4 bedrooms, and this was perfect for our needs. The bedding was pristine, and the house clean and tidy. The communication with Charlie was excellent. If circumstances arise we would definitely come back.

This house is delightful, and I would strongly recommend it - it was everything and more. The bedrooms are charming, the kitchen is wonderful, the rooms are impressive, and the garden is superb. The location is very tranquil and situated on a quiet road. Victoria is an excellent host and is very responsive and helpful. Thank you x

Wow. This house is beautiful, it was immaculately clean and wonderful. Liz was so responsive and helpful the entire time, we really appreciated her local recommendations. The house is beautiful, so spacious and well kept. Absolutely no issues, all the facilities we needed and more.

Eleven of us stayed in the barn and stables for the weekend. The barn and stables both have fantastic living, dining and cooking spaces especially the barn which has a double height gallery. All the bedrooms are comfortable, clean and private. The pool is amazing and very well maintained. Our host made sure we had everything we needed. The grounds are delughtful with plenty of lovely doves and chickens. We had a great stay and would highly recommend :)

Fantastic stay at Ema-Louise’s Beautiful home. We felt instantly relaxed the moment we arrived. We celebrated my mum’s 60th Birthday and we had such a lovely time. The weather was good to us so we also got to spend time in the pool. The host was so lovely and made us all feel most welcome. The highlight of our stay was Rosie the pointer & Rocky the Chihuahua and all the horses. Was like a home away from home and we would love to come back! Thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️

A very clean warm and modern caravan,a powerfull hot shower room with toilet and another separate toilet & sink. fantastic value for money place to stay. will be coming back for sure.

Where do I start! This property was a Fantastic gateway and the price we paid was totally worth it. The property was clean and faultless. The swimming pool and hot tub was an added bonus and the garden outside makes it seem like you are in another country. I will definitely recommend this property and it is worth every penny and I will definitely return again. The hosts were responsive and any issues I had was dealt with swiftly. The property is in a good location and the property is full of amenities

We were pleased to find accommodation available where we could all stay and have a bed, have our second Christmas Day and generally be together with lots of space. Having the pool to enjoy was a particular bonus as most of us enjoy the water.

Absolutely spot on. Great facilities and perfectly comfortable. Hosts are super helpful too and quick to reply to any questions. Would love to reply at some stage.

Beautiful place, excellent facilities and clean. Antonina was brilliant, responsive and a lovely host. Would definitely recommend. It was perfect for our big family gathering and plenty for the kids to play with in the kids room! All in all, wonderful trip! Thank you so much for having us!

Our stay at Sharon's place was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. The accommodations were spotless, beautifully furnished, and truly felt like a home away from home. Sharon went above and beyond to meet all of our needs and more. From the thoughtful touches to the fully stocked amenities, we felt completely taken care of. It was clear she genuinely cares about her guests' comfort. We couldn't have asked for a better host or a more relaxing stay. Thank you, Sharon, for making our trip so special!
