Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Chelmsford

Our group of six—two adults, one young adult, and three teenagers—had a very comfortable stay at Lesley’s lovely home. It, indeed, felt very much like a home and not just a rental property. There was ample space for all of us, and it was great to have three toilets and two showers. The location is superb—a short walk to coffee, restaurants, and the riverfront, which we enjoyed strolling along in the evening. A great place for a larger group to stay in Wivenhoe!

We enjoyed our overnight stay at the studio. The space was welcoming and clean. I would have preferred a larger bed but it was comfortable. Just a matter of taste. Breakfast was a nice touch.

me and my sister stayed here to celebrate my sisters birthday and Chloes cottage was absolutely the perfect choice, the whole place was stunning and was in such an ideal little village. the place was spotless and had everything we might have needed to enjoy our stay. Would highly recomend visiting Ickworth estate too which is only a 20 minute drive away!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, it felt incredibly welcoming, with a peaceful vibe that flowed throughout the house and its lovely decor. The garden was a standout feature which was beautifully designed, filled with the scent of blooming flowers, and offering a relaxing view in every direction. It was the perfect place to unwind. The house was also fantastic for my daughter and our dog, with plenty of space both inside and out for them to enjoy and feel at home. The bathroom was great too - it was spotless and stylish, with thoughtful touches like a soothing pillow spray and wonderfully fresh-smelling towels that made it feel like a boutique stay. Overall, this home was the perfect retreat for our little family. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed and already planning a return visit. Highly recommend.

Jo’s place was as exactly as we chose. A very private place full of tranquility both inside and outside . The natural garden was a joy to just sit and enjoy the wild life and alfresco dining. We were blessed with good weather which made sitting and eating outside mist enjoyable. The garden was a haven for our two dogs to explore safely.

A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. It also had that more difficult to attain "presence", with each room allowing you to relax and experience its homeliness and history. The whole family (6 adults and 2 grandchildren) thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. No-one really wanted to leave. Waking up to see the expanse of manicured gardens from bedroom windows and breakfast room was a calming relaxing pleasure. Plenty of walks available, and the walk to the local pub for an evening meal was safe and easy along quiet country roads. Would certainly recommend.

We enjoyed 10 lovely days at Florence's place. We were having such a great time that we would have been happy to stay even longer. Our sweet dog enjoyed the garden and the surrounding walks in the countryside. The house was clean and had everything that we needed to have a restful sleep, to work on our laptop, to prepare meals, to relax in the sitting room or to enjoy the outdoors in the pretty garden. The parking space was appreciated as well. Florence is an excellent host and we highly recommend her accommodations.

Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

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

A lovely lodge in a Beautiful peaceful meadow. Dom went above and beyond to make sure that everything was ok for us

Nice and relaxing place. Very well equipped especially the kitchen area. Welcoming big basket, even milk and butter in the fridge and ice cream. A little bit more cleaning needed and carpets especially. But a great ans beautiful place to stay, very friendly and communicative hosts.

How to start?? I would highly recommend Charles' place! When you get there and go up the stairs, you might think it's not going to be good. However, when you open the door you'll be taken back as to how beautiful his place is!! I felt right at home! Charles had wine, milk, OJ, bread and eggs. The sleigh bed was not only comfy but so pretty. He had great darkening curtains which also serve as a divider from the living room. The shower was welcoming. If I come back to London, I'd stay at Charles' place!

Lovely place with great facilities and Wendy was so nice and welcoming.

A really lovely place to stay. Peaceful, spacious and great value. Lots of parking and amenities. Only wish we’d stayed longer!

BEST PLACE TO STAY IN LONDON! I can’t wait to stay with Urban Stays again Best host I’ve ever dealt with

This was our second visit to the Lighthouse and it still is an amazing place, from the panoramic sea views to a lovely warm inviting home. A dip in the pool before breakfast, sitting with a coffee watching the seascape, as far as Essex and beyond, sunsets and so much more. I will make the same comment as I did last, this goes for the whole of our party across 3 generations and the dogs, the only bad thing about the Lighthouse is having to leave. Hopefully this will not be our last visit.

Can not fault this property ! Claire is lovely and responds very quickly and helps with any enquiries. I will continue to use her property! Thank you

Dear Maggie, I would like to sincerely thank you and your husband for your warm hospitality and exceptional kindness. From the moment I arrived, your quick and friendly communication made everything so smooth and welcoming. The cottage was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by breathtaking nature. It truly exceeded my expectations, and I felt very comfortable and at home throughout my stay. You were both incredibly kind and generous, and I truly appreciated every thoughtful detail. Thank you so much for making my stay so special. I highly recommend your place to anyone looking for a serene and memorable getaway. Warm regards,

Verity has been a fantastic host and promptly shared instructions and tips before we arrived. The little cottage had everything we needed and was perfect for a little weekend gateway! We had a small issue with the electricity and Verity offered to refund us part of the booking, which was very kind. 10/10, we’ll definitely be back.

Very clean and cosy place. Perfect for one or two people. Three of us stayed one night after a wedding and it was easy to get to and comfortable. The main bed has a great mattress and nice clean linen. The pull out bed was fine for a night, quite firm. We were lucky to get a parking spot which made it easier as there are 3 off road parking spots associated with the premises which appears to be a first come first serve basis, but we timed it well. The roads all around are permit parking and busy, which can be expected from how central to Chelmsford it is. The host was very helpful and flexible, great response times and happy to answer questions. We’d happily stay again.

Really enjoyed staying at this beautiful property, exactly as described and a little peaceful haven

I enjoyed my stay immensely, the local pub across the way a short op seconds stroll has an exceptional range of high quality food, serves by really friendly staff. If I ever need to be back in this part of the UK I shall certainly be seeking to return to this apartment.

We love the house, beautiful back yard with BBQ facilities connected with a spacious kitchen / dinner area. The whole family enjoyed the stay. Peftect local, very close driving distance to chlemsford City center where you can find all kind of supermarkets, Restaurant and shopping Malls.

We attended a wedding at Stock Brook Manor Golf Club, and the location for Little Pear tree was perfect about a 4min drive. Our host was very hospitable. He gave clear instructions and information on getting to the location before hand which was great. The cottage was gorgeous and had everything we needed. It was very clean with a stylish decor. I would highly recommend for all the reasons above and so much more. We had a very lovely time
