Family-friendly vacation rentals in Harlow

We really enjoyed our time in London. The airbnb is located in a fine area, walkable and close to bus and tube stops. Any store or restaurant you may need is close by. The unit has 2 bedrooms and the bathroom is roomy and good. The kitchen allows you to prepare meals. There was a party next door and the neighbors were loud and obnoxious. But that's the nature of living close to each other. Thanks Reggie, your place worked out well for us.

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

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.

Carol Anne and Kelly were great hosts, kind and helpful. The apartment was very nice, equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location is excellent, very close to the subway and buses, the neighborhood is great. We had a great time, thaks a lot.

Great space for a family. We would consider staying again.

Very clean, bedding and towels smelled great. Hot tub was very relaxing, nice farmland surroundings and would recommend shoes/boots that can withstand the mud!

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!

We had a pleasant stay in London. The accommodation is close to the DLR, Janet is good advice and full of good attention. The apartment is very well equipped, the view is magnificent and the hot tub is appreciated after a day of sightseeing .

Thank you for being able to use your lovely flat. We found it beautifully clean and tidy and easy to use. We would highly recommend a stay in this flat for a visit to London.

Jubed was a terrific host - extremely responsive and helpful (even when I managed to lock our passports in the safe on Easter, and couldn’t get them out!). The place was also perfect for our large family - clean, spacious, nice kitchen, outdoor area. We also loved the neighborhood, and since the Piccadilly line was just a five minute walk from the house, it was easy to get anywhere in London. Great place! Would stay there again.

Cosy cottage, very homely and well equipped - Andy has thought of everything! We enjoyed a family go on the Wii doing Just Dance. Great fun! Liked the helpful little notes around the place, especially those for the bathroom heated towel rail. We enjoyed a lovely walk around Great Gransden & Little Gransden. Lots of thatched cottages and beautiful houses. A lovely peaceful location. Great for visiting our daughter at Uni in Cambridge.

Amazing,great sleep,cozy.Can wait to come back :)

We had a great, restful time here. Lovely layout, nice & big front room, peaceful surrounding. Lived having the chickens and ducks and seeing some beautiful birds. Hosts super responsive and really helpful. Highly recommend!

This was our second time at The Stable and it didn’t disappoint. Clean, very comfortable and some luxurious touches. Great area for things to do, right by the sea but still peaceful and relaxing.

Very cozy, comfortable, beautiful house. Lovely walks nearby, especially for dogs. Very friendly hosts. Thoroughly recommended

We stayed at The Clockhouse whilst visiting Windsor Castle. We would not hesitate to stop there again. Beautiful place, very peaceful. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Fantastic stay! Thank you, Sam x

Lovely place very clean and cozy. Hot tub was great also very clean. Love the little touches with the eggs and orange juice. Will book again in the summer when the pool is open thanks for our stay.

We were greeted well upon arrival. They showed and explained everything. We were also lucky to see beautiful peacocks on the territory. The house corresponds to the description and photos. There is a good sauna, a large pool and there is a passage from a small goubina to a large one. The jacuzzi is also large. Everything is clean and neat, we liked it, the child is delighted, we will definitely come again.🙃

Although the entrance from the street is a bit old looking, once the apartment door is opened, one realizes what a wonderful spot it is. There were all the amenities I needed, the bed and couch were quite comfortable. It was a great walk to my office across the river. (and of course, Battersea park is very closeby). The host was very responsive to my questions. I hope the apartment is available the next time I am in London!

Had a great stay. Comfy bed, great location and Wendy was helpful with local amenities . Will be back for sure

We had a lovely time staying in Horkesley Hall! A little oasis, with a lovely garden to explore. Polly shared some good recommendations and the Airbnb itself was enjoyable to spend time in.

We stayed here April 2025 for my stag party weekend. The venue was amazing. Clean, amazing surroundings great swimming pool. Host was great at setting us a up bedrooms spotless and bathrooms clean. I really liked the plum cottages I don’t think the pictures do the place justice the cottages are huge and have their own kitchens and bathroom and a private garden.

a lovely place to stay, left us breakfast items which were lovely Diana was the perfect host and very helpful thanks for a great stay

We had a fabulous long stay in Susan’s house. The house was perfect, spacious and homely and in a great location near Clapham high st and Clapham common with lots of nice shops, parks and close to lots of public transport. Susan was very welcoming and responsive and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and help us during our stay.
