Cottage on the beach

With its own beachside garden and breathtaking uninterrupted views of the wildest of Essex creeks and marshes, the cottage is only to be reached on foot atop a sea wall. The perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The last in a row of westerly facing cottages, perfect to watch the evening sun go down . From the front garden or even laying in bed, watch the tide slip in and out, the fishing boats come and go and live, for a while, in a world moving at a slower pace.

Cottage in Wivenhoe

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviews

Riverside gem with a nautical past

In the heart of lower Wivenhoe on the quay, our little self-contained cottage was once part of the home of The Colne Marine and Yacht Company. Its thick brick walls and quiet and pretty disposition, defy its former role as a working yard where timber yachts were crafted and repaired, drawn up inside at high tide. Emma and Charlie welcome guests back time after time to relax and enjoy this very special place. We hope you will join them.

Waldemar, 5 bedroom luxury houseboat, sleeps 10.

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 55 reviews4 days ago

Waldamar is unique! I honestly can't think of anywhere better that we could have found to say. Our stay was for a family members birthday. The age range was from 20 years old to 80 years old, plus one well behaved dog! All bedrooms en-suite. Fantastic living accommodation and outside area. So much space, clean bright and beautifully decorated and furnished. Amazing kitchen and outside kitchen/social area. An area of outstanding natural beauty, with a great pub/restaurant 200m along a beautiful woodland path. All of us can not recommend Waldamar enough. Just try it for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sue and Alex.

Ten Admiralty Pier

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews1 month ago

Great location and very modern house. Was a little dusty and clearly hadn't been hoovered very thoroughly throughout. Reasonably well-equipoed kitchen but disappointed to not have had a coffee machine in such a high-end looking house. Handwritten notes in Sharpie on pieces of paper posted around the house made it feel a little shabby. All said though, the sunsets are magnificent from all angles!

Lake view lodges. Long melford

5 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews2 weeks ago

Lovely cabins, very well-equipped with everything needed for cooking. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the view of the pond was simply beautiful. We felt instantly at ease and were amazed by how clean and cozy everything was, truly better than expected. Mark was so friendly and caring, offering genuine warmth and hospitality that made our stay even more special. The place is even more beautiful than the pictures show. It's an ideal location for anyone wanting to explore the area or simply relax. A hidden gem—I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating getaway. I honestly can’t wait to return!

Beach Hut with stunning sea views - Day use only

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews8 months ago

We had an absolutely lovely day at the beach hut. It's a short walking distance from the station, the hut was simple to find and we couldn't believe how peaceful it was being a couple of rows up - even on a busy bank holiday weekend. The large decking area was perfect to lay out the table and chairs and enjoy our picnic with wonderful sea views. Would love to visit again and highly recommended.

The Skippers Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews1 week ago

The site is really nice and quiet. The caravan was spotless and the only issue - which was not anything the host was responsible for - was that we arrived after 5 when reception had closed and there was literally no 5g signal at the reception area so we couldn't download the caravan access instructions or get through the gate. Luckily two members of the maintenance team were able to let us through and were more than helpful and I was able to connect to the sites wi-fi although there were a lot of hoops to jump through just to do this.

Vintage Airstream with fab outdoor kitchen

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews8 months ago

Lisa was so lovely to us and made our weekend away really special with extra touches. The Airstream was so much bigger and more homely than expected, we are quite tall (both nearly 6ft), and there was plenty of space and headroom inside! The decoration is lovely too, definitely luxurious and elegant. The favourite bit was definitely the outdoor kitchen in such beautiful surroundings. At the top of the garden is lots of private space looking out onto fields so it was just perfect to have a peaceful getaway!

Lakeside Lodge on Carlton Meres country park

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviews8 months ago

What a fabulous stay My family have just had at Lance's lodge. Beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and the view of the lakes was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable both the en suites were huge! perfectly situated on the quieter side of the site and still only a 5 minute walk to the club house and shop. Debbie the caretaker was excellent. She was very helpful and clearly works very hard to maintain the lodge to such a high standard. We will definitely be looking to come back Asap.
