Homely 3 bedroomed caravan on Mersea Island, Essex
Van is in one of the best spots for views and privacy. Very comfortable with everything you need close by. Another fab stay.

Spacious Country Home - Hot Tub and Seasonal Pool
Laura's house was the perfect accommodation for us. It was very spacious and very near to a family event. We went to Maldon for the morning and did a walk from the house to the lakes in the afternoon. All very central, yet very peaceful surroundings. Thank you for letting us stay at your fantastic property.

Detached house on cul-de-sac
We had 2 nights at Kristians house Was perfect location for us as we were spending our time in London Close to train station Plenty of places to eat Lovely quiet location, the house was beautiful with so much space Would highly recommend and book myself again

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views
Stayed here with 10 guys. There is ample room to sit together to have dinner, a large enough lounge for everyone to relax and all spaced that require less clothing is very private and not overlooked. The upper balcony is shared with a bedroom from 16A, but I assume that is not in use when the place is booked. Driveway is shared with adjacent property but you can still fit 4 cars. Hot tubs extremely well maintained. Furniture is in excellent condition. Furnishings are modern and tasteful. All kitchen appliances work with ample crockery and cutlery. Beds are very comfortable and allow flexible sleeping arrangements. Bathrooms were very clean.

SKYLA VISTA Deluxe

Modern house in city centre - 'Live like a local!'
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Our stay at Claire's Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. The house itself was immaculate and beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. Every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the thoughtful amenities, made us feel right at home. Claire went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Her prompt communication, helpful tips about the local area, and genuine care for our comfort truly made a difference. The location couldn't have been better. Situated in the heart of the city, we were able to explore all that Cambridge has to offer with ease. Overall, our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't recommend Claire's Airbnb highly enough and would gladly return in the future. Thank you for making our trip memorable!

#4BR Sleeps7 - BIGDiscounts-Contractor/Insurance#
Had a lovely stay here. Found the rooms really spacious and comfortable. It’s a peaceful location yet near the city and has A12 access for a quick getaway. The coffee shop and Coop a few minutes walk away were also really handy for the morning boost and to shop.

The Firs, sleeps 15, stunning farmhouse with spa
We stayed at this lovely property for a family get away to celebrate our birthdays. The house and amenities were perfect for a large family group with everything you could possibly need on hand. The rooms were all very spacious, comfortable and clean, we all enjoyed the hot tub and the outside space was just right and has lovely views. Kate and Sam were very responsive and Tina the housekeeper was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Old Oak Barn with Jacuzzi hot tub
It's not often that a place exceeds your expectations, but this place certainly did, it is absolutely beautiful, everything about it was perfect, there were 8 of us staying here and each and everyone of us loved it. Marcus was lovely to deal with, he recommended a restaurant/pub for a Saturday lunch, "The Red Lion" in Debenham which was about an hours walk away and the food and service were exceptional. We had a fabulous weekend.

18 mins to Central London - Beautiful Period Home
We LOVED this AirBnB! Perfect size and location for our bigger group of 11. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us, and the location of the AirBnB was perfect for easy access to the bus and train, especially for us who had plans and concerts all across London. The neighborhood was beautiful, calm, and private, with close access to the high street and grocery stores and restaurants. Cass and the hosts were wonderful, responsive, and so kind and fun to talk to! Truly, this location was the highlight of our trip, and we all commented that if we came back, we would want to stay here again. Perfect!!

Rosie’s Retreats Westcliff southend
we had a lovely stay at Rosemary's Retreat. Very comfortable and quiet, away from main road. There was plenty of tea and coffee, including a coffee machine with Tassino pods. Rosemary was very welcoming, a first class host. we would definitely stay here again

The Milking Parlour @ Grove Farm
Lovely location for a relaxing short trip with kids. Very peaceful and short drive to local beaches. We loved the area and would definitely come back again.

Seaside Getaway
Really convenient place to stay. No complaints really other than you can hear the neighbours dogs but it wasn’t a huge issue.

The Highlands: 5 bed 5 bath - Huge Sociable House!
We had a great weekend here with a group of friends. It was very clean and spacious for a group of 10. The kitchen and living/dining space were perfect for making dinners together and hanging out. Communication with Katy was also great, Katy was very responsive and helpful when we had a few questions. Thank you!

Whole 4 bed House Brentwood: Corporate/Contractors
Lovely place to stay nice big garden would stay there again

4BHK Semi-Detached House
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.

Perfect wedding guest space
Michelle is a wonderful host and set the house up beautifully for us ! It’s such a lovely place to stay and perfect for our daughter’s wedding the next day .

Spacious House by the sea
The place was pristine, beautiful home. right on the beachfront, offstreet parking oppersite the house. Sums it up, couldn't ask for more. The host was also proactive with clear instructions ahead of time and responsive when messaged. would recommend to anyone visiting Southend-on-Sea.

Stylish 3BR•Free Parking•Near Uni & Town
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property which was in pristine condition. Very close to the university which was exactly what we needed for this visit. The free parking space round the back was super convenient. The house was well stocked with all the essentials and some luxuries too - a nice surprise. We'd like to thank our hosts for having the property ready for us in such a welcoming way. This was definitely one of the best places we've stayed at in Colchester in this price range, with lovely hosts too. We're looking forward to our next visit.

Large & luxurious house with countryside views
We had a wonderful stay at Luke’s place for a girls night in Burwell. The house is stunning with everything you need for a large group, the location is great too with a short walk to the local pub. Luke was super responsive and made check in and check out super smooth. Highly recommend!
