Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Colchester

We had an absolutely wonderful family weekend in Victoria’s beautiful farmhouse. There was everything we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. All the bedrooms were great and the garden is beautiful - the children loved the trampoline! We also loved having the cats around - very friendly! Thank you so much. We had a great time!

This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Had a great family weekend staying in this beautiful home. The ground floor en suite bedroom was ideal for my elderly parents with 3 further ensuite rooms upstairs for the rest of the family. We cooked in both evenings and found all the equipment we needed in the beautiful, well equipped kitchen. Then simply enjoyed sitting around the dining table together. The house is truly beautiful with very comfortable beds and is in an equally beautiful area. We really hope we'll find an opportunity to visit again!

David and Jo were excellent hosts. Every little detail had been carefully thought out, and taken care of. They were extremely kind and thoughtful throughout our stay, and could not have been more helpful. The cottage itself is so charming, and beautifully presented. Quiet and peaceful, a perfect haven to come back to. We will most definitely be back.

It's a super place. Clean, modern, bright. Well-equipped. Quiet - set back from the road. Just the thing. Thank you.

Lovely place to stay with our puppy! Great place, great decor and comfy. Excellent location with Ickworth Estate accessible through garden gate for great walks and also within walking distance to 2 local pubs. Bury St Edmunds just a short drive away. We had a great weekend thank you very much!!

Had a fantastic stay. Location was perfect. House had everything we needed with loads of extras. The kids really appreciated the toys and books in particular. We’ll definitely look to stay again next time we’re visiting

What can I say , a brilliant experience from start to finish! Lyndsay was a great host , super responsive and helpful throughout , with lots of helpful information regarding the property and surrounding area. The place itself was fantastically decorated and lovely and light , and there was more than enough room for us all (6 Adults and 4 Children). The Kitchen Dining area is a brilliant space to spend time together. The Garden is huge and an ideal outdoor space for games , a bbq or drinks in the Sun , and the garage having a Pingpong table and additional games too was a nice touch. Heating controls were very easy to use and once set , the place soon warms up quickly. It was very easy to find and there is plenty of parking space and the local pub is just a short walk through the churchyard. We chose to have lunch there and it was dead nice and reasonably priced. Overall , Lyndsay was fantastic and so was the Accommodation, the only negative was having to leave! 😁

this is one of the best Airbnb places I have stayed at so far. it was just so perfect in every way and the host is amazing and so friendly. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend this place

Good accommodation in a beautiful area, very quiet, perfect for a " getaway." Accommodation was very clean.

We absolutely loved our stay as did our two Cockapoos This is a great place for walks and not too far from Sudbury and long melford We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to go back

gorgeous house will definitely stay here again

Such a lovely stay at the Lily Pad. The hut was very clean and had everything we needed, even a marshmallow stick for the fire pit. There was plenty of wood and equipment to use for the fire which we lit 2 nights in a row to sit outside under the stars. The only thing to grumble at (and pulling at straws here)were the blinds on the windows, as soon as the sun was up the light shone through the edges of the blinds making it very bright. Overall a brilliant stay and would definitely return. Lovely welcoming hosts too.

We were made very welcome when we arrived. The annex is lovely, well equipped, really comfy bed and beautiful bathroom. very peaceful getaway.

Vikki-Jo was attentively welcoming with the most efficient responsiveness we've experienced on Airbnb. The cabin was roomy, rustic and perfect for us. The hot tub toasty warm and spotless. We had a little spider friend in the shower room who popped his head out to say hi occasionally, but we liked them. It was totally private away from the main property and everything was as described. The whole stay was a perfect experience from the moment we booked right up to the moment we left. This is how Airbnb should be done. A true 5 star experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think it was competitively priced for a stay with a hot tub which we enjoyed after walking around Colchester Zoo all day. Thank you Vikki-Jo for our wonderful stay 💐

Amanda was the perfect host for a wonderful property. We loved the fully fenced and well maintained yard, a secluded hot tub, and the great gated area. The house was equipped with all necessities. We visited the nearby pubs which were all very welcoming with great ales and food. We will definitely come back.

Had a lovely time , wish we could have stayed longer very responsive host , very clean , not expensive and exactly as advertised. We were also running a bit late at check out time and the host graciously extended the time at no extra cost … also a cheeky bottle of Prosecco in the fridge which was a nice touch . We will be staying again

Chris and his wife were wonderful hosts—warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My wife, our small dog, and I had a fantastic stay. Thoughtful touches were everywhere: coffee, milk, cereal, even dog bowls and treats—perfect for dog lovers. The photos and description are spot on; the place is just as lovely in person. One evening we returned late to find the outside lights had been left on for us—such a kind gesture. We were also offered a later checkout without even asking, which was really appreciated. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

We came here to rest and recharge. With two teenagers and two dogs, had an amazing time in cabin 2 with its beautiful surroundings. The cabin was gorgeous, really clean and tidy, well equipped kitchen, cozy and surprisingly spacious living space. Oh and the shower room felt like I was in a spa! The hamper was a lovely touch, with eggs from the farm and proper milk in a glass bottle (big thumbs up from me), yummy lemon drizzle cake, and more. Plenty of essentials. Everything was really well detailed in a handbook. Very comfortable sleep and didn't get woken up by the cows, or any other farm animals. The hot tub was such a treat. Took us quite a while to heat it up the first day, but it was well worth the wait, and is well insulated so day two was much quicker. Felt very safe and the garden was large and secure. Very, very dog friendly. Will definitely come again and have recommended it already to friends and family. Thank you and looking forward to visiting again xx

Beautiful hidden little gem of a place . Very clear instructions from Caroline . One allocated parking space on driveway . The lodge was clean and beautifully presented. Very well equipped. Set in lovely grounds with a geodome which was fabulous to sit and chill with a glass of wine or to read . It was lovely having breakfast on the sofas on the front porch . I would highly recommend this lovely lodge . Thank you Caroline

Fantastic stay at The Bothy. Everything was so easy and clear. No issues, everything as described and better. Loads of logs and kindling for the fire pit and wood fired hot tub. Coffee, tea and a few starter bits provided by the hosts. We weren’t disturbed at any point and got to enjoy the beautiful views in peace. Perfect mini getaway!
