Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Essex

Great place to stay for a family or group visiting London. Convenient location close to Canary Wharf.

Lovely spacious and very well equipped first floor apartment- easy allocated parking just below balcony. We loved staying there and the host was wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was perfect for a family of four. The kitchen was well stocked, and the bathrooms and bedrooms were pristine and super comfortable. Joy was very responsive. The location was perfect for accessing Harlow Town Train Station and walkable to the town center.

Very nice place. Simple decor but clean and well appointed. Quiet neighborhood with public transport via Overland 5 minutes away. 45-60 minutes into Central London. Small Saiinsbury food store very nearby and larger Tesco 15-20 minutes away. Relative lack of restaurants that are not bare bones. Apartment would benefit from instructions on how to use appliances US people less familiar with e.g. washing machine, shower.

It is our second time to stay in this cozy, warm and lovely apartment. The Owner Rob is so friendly to provide flexible check-in & out time for us and always give quick response. And the location is only a few minutes walk to nearby Westfield and railway station. We will choose it again next time when we visit London.

This is the second time we have used San's home when we have been at an exhibition at the Excel, it's the perfect location, perfect for two colleagues to share, and San is so good at responding to messages - there is a bit of a quirk with the front door, and him getting back to me immediately with the trick to make it easy every time was much appreciated. We hope to stay again next year!

Excellent communication, easy check in and very friendly host. The apartment looked exactly like the photos, was easy to find and very close to the DLR being only one stop from Stratford, and with a bus stop right outside. We stayed for a concert at the O2 Arena in Greenwich and were able to get a late bus back from the venue to right outside the flat which was perfect. The bath towels were really nice, but a smaller towel for drying hands would have been good, and the kitchen could have done with a tea towel for drying up with, a grater, and a pair of scissors. Overall the stay was great. Thank you for having us.

Just the very best. Everything was clean and I felt right at home. The host was wonderful and very helpful with any concern I had. 5 star 5 star!

Loved my stay, communication was amazing and the rooms were really nice. Would definitely book again

Mathew was one of a kind, he was supportive and provided multiple solutions for me when I had accomodation issues with other hosts. He communicated effectively and was always willing to help.

We stayed for 1 month in this lovely little apartment in a friendly neighbourhood. Michael & Melisa were very responsive, friendly and helpful and made our stay as comfortable as possible.

Fantastic location and facilities for a few days in London. Norman was very helpful and communicated with us regularly on the run up to the trip. Would use again and recommend

This is my first Air B&B experience and Rebekah made it a very good one. Her home was so beautiful and clean and very homely. She provided towels which we were not expecting and all her amenities were super easy to use. Her customer service was top notch and provided us clear instructions to check in and use her place. The bed was soft and cozy and the living room was very spacious and comfortable to relax in. The location was also perfect with a superstore (Tesco) just 3 minutes walk away and 5 minutes walk to the nearest rail station. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will recommend to anyone looking for an Air B&B in the area. I will defo book again for sure!!

Great location for what we needed, amazing views and safe area. Thank you

Ertunc is a great person. He waited for us at 02:00 at night and we got into the house without any problems. He solved our small problems very quickly. He answered my phone calls and messages very quickly. The house is as mentioned. Everything is very nice (the view from the terrace on the 22nd floor and the gym were great). He meets all your needs (Also thank you very much for the food he left for us). DLR and bus stops were very close. There is no transportation problem. I highly recommend it. You can go and stay safely.

Great! And very convenient to be so close to the Harlow Town train station.

5/5 Stars - A Home Away from Home! We recently had the pleasure of staying at Melanie's beautiful Airbnb, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! The house is absolutely precious, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The location is fantastic, with a Tesco just around the corner and the railway station within walking distance. It's the perfect base for exploring the area, and Melanie's thoughtful recommendations were spot on. Melanie is an exceptional host - friendly, responsive, and genuinely invested in ensuring her guests have a wonderful stay. Her attention to detail and kindness made all the difference to our trip. We can't recommend Melanie's Airbnb highly enough. If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient, and charming place to stay, look no further. We can't wait to come back! Thank you, Melanie, for an unforgettable stay!

Great place to stay whilst working at the Excel nearby, close to restaurants and about 9 minutes drive away from large supermarkets. Plenty of space and beds. Everything as described. Will use again!

Highly reccomend. We booked 6 nights while our house underwent some renovations. The house is immaculate, very tastefully decorated with every mod con included. Parking for 2 cars, quiet, peaceful and safe, and a short walk to train station into London. Ross was an excellent host, great communication and made us feel very welcome guests. We did not want to leave!

Anthony was very helpful and the place was perfect and just as described. It was clean and even had brand new personal hygiene packs in each room. I would definitely stay again.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean. The hosts were very quick to respond with answers to our questions. There was a heat wave when we visited and they brought over extra fans for us. We are used to having air conditioning. I would stay here again!

The house was absolutely lovely. Gorgeous inside and out, and very comfortable to live in. The village is very quiet, but it's only a short drive into Colchester, where you can find tons of things to do. Chris was a great host who made check in easy and made us feel very welcome in his home. Would definitely stay again!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful farmhouse! The property is spacious, well-equipped, and has a stunning garden which the dogs loved. The quirky games room was a highlight, featuring a stripper pole, darts, football table, and pool table — lots of fun! The hot tub and gym were also great additions and made the experience feel extra special. The property was clean and tidy and well maintained. There were a couple of downsides worth mentioning: two bedrooms were very basic, with just mattresses on the floor, which wasn’t ideal and could be easily improved. Also, while we were fortunate that the second property on-site wasn’t occupied during our stay, it may not have felt so private if it were. Also completely out of the hosts control was the noise from building works on a new development being built but it was only during working hours and not a major inconvenience to us. Overall, a lovely, getaway with loads of character at a great price for what was included, we would return

I had another hugely enjoyable stay at Pond Cottage, with my daughter joining too. This place is so very beautiful, especially in Spring! It really is the perfect stay for us and Caroline is the perfect host. we will be back when we can... Love from Mandy
