Cottage vacation rentals in Colchester

We had a lovely stay. House was as described, clean and had all the things we needed. Would recommend to friends and family.

Great location and Paul was a very helpful and communicative host, even helping one of our guests recover some belongings they had left behind. Thank you very much, Emily

The Old Farmhouse was one of the best equipped Airbnbs that we have ever stayed in. We particularly loved the hot tub and the four ponies/donkeys. Although you can walk around the fields surrounding the house, you have to drive to Finchingfield for food and drink etc. We had a Sainsbury’s supermarket delivery which worked well.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

Loved the accommodation there is a big step from the veranda so be careful it was so nice to get in from a busy day sightseeing and jump in the hot tub.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Staff were really nice and friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again thanks to Debbie Dan and Kit

A fabulous, well equipped home with a great view and visiting wildlife - pheasants, hares and swallows. Easy walking distance to Suffolk Barn for our family wedding and short drive to Bury St Edmunds. Very comfortable beds, fluffy towels and calming colour scheme. Extremely well equipped kitchen and generous welcome provisions made it easy to feel straight at home. We would love to come back to explore the local area and spend more time taking in the view and relaxing in the tub. Thank you to our hosts who were so accommodating and welcoming.

We went for our friend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The hot tub and Sauna was just lovely and very relaxing. Lovely cottage perfect for 4 people. The host was very responsive and recommended a fabulous restaurant nearby. I would advise to come to Diss by car as the cab service was not great so had difficulty getting about. You have to book cabs in advance. Overall it was Great weekend

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Clock Cottage. The cottage had everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday. It was clean, well equipped, had comfortable beds and in a beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our dog walks which were on the doorstep. We also found it a great location for visiting all around the Cambridge area. David was a great host too.

This was our second time in Lavenham and our second stay at Esther’s. The house is easy to find (parking outside the front door if available) and get access to. The house is clean, well furnished and had most, if not all of everything extra we wanted. Over the weekend that included a BBQ, fan, clothes horse and some biscuits! Esther is very responsive and accommodating, a great host.

A very enjoyable stay indeed. The accommodation provided everything we needed and our host was always responsive. The bed linen was soft and the beds very comfortable indeed. We should be happy to recommend Constable Court to future guests.

Peaceful stay at this lovely very large house. Kids were well catered for with the games room and big garden with swings. Everything with spotless and Catherine was so helpful. We loved it

Very beautiful place very different quirky place to stay. Wounderful walking paths we walked our dog for a few hours seeing the nature as we went by Lots to see and do visited Jimmys farm lovey place to go with kids.

My third stay in this beautiful barn and once again everything was perfect. The large totally secure garden space is such a bonus for the dogs. Jonathan always communicates promptly and is very helpful. I saw a little owl in the garden this time which was the icing on the cake. I totally recommend this peaceful place surrounded by glorious farmland.

We have a beautiful stay in lovely weather, an absolute dream for a toddler - so many toys, brilliantly set up with cot, high chair, steps for toilet, bath Mat - it was brilliant. Thank you very much!

The cottage was beautifully appointed, very comfortable and well equipped. I think it was even better than the photos! Everything was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The garden was lovely to sit in and secure for my dog. Nick advised us on the quieter dog walks and we had some lovely walks in the countryside and along the river, with some stunning views. I found that all the dog walkers I met were very considerate and put their dogs on leads even before they realised that mine was reactive. This made the walks much more relaxed than usual. Whilst I didn’t use my car all weekend, as it was just me and my dog, along with the walks there are many things to see and do in this area. I would love to come back with my husband and explore it further. I would definitely recommend the cottage.

Exactly as described, the only thing if i was going to be hyper critical was that if you have a large car, the car parking space is quite tight, but that probably says more about my driving than anything else🤣

A great place to stay. Very easy check in. Lovely location. Charlie was very helpful when we had a booking query…very friendly and supportive. Have already booked to return 👍😊 and very much looking forward to staying there again in November 😊

Sue’s place is amazing! Super easy clear instructions, very clean and absolutely beautiful! We had our dinner outside looking at the gorgeous wildflower field! Unfortunately we were only there for a short time as had a wedding reception in the evening - we wish we could have stayed longer!

This is an exceptional place to stay. Sarah and Marina are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They provide everything you might need and more. We would certainly recommend this airbnb and hope to come back. Thank you.

I had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect: close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. I especially appreciated the little thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel extra welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Sarah and Scott are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and welcoming yet valued our privacy. The independent suite was super clean and cozy, and had everything we needed. The property itself is in a rural area, which we appreciated for its peacefulness, but it does require a car.

Karen is a lovely and highly professional host. Her place is a fantastic escape into a very quiet and peaceful location, we absolutely loved it. Also her home made jams and farm eggs are simply delicious. An enormous amount of information provided in files helped us make the most of our stay and explore the area. Don't hesitate to book Karen's place, I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

We had a lovely time at Little Blue Cottage. It’s located in a very nice village with great amenities. Close by to some lovely walking trails and the water. It was a great place to stay for a couple of nights with everything you need within walking distance. Lauren is a great host and we would definitely stay here again.
