Holiday rentals with lake access in Babergh District

Matt was a great host and very responsive. The house was a great location, close to Colchester and our wedding venue in Feering. Rooms were spacious, great communal area, kitchen and living room. All utensils provided. Would highly recommend

A lovely house tucked away in the forest. Plenty of places to walk to and not far to drive to the coast. Great house and the hot tub is lovely, was running when we arrived. The WiFi was not working a lot of the time unfortunately and limited phone signal but always a good excuse to read a book.

Amazing place to relax! Would highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The house was perfect with plenty of space for the family. Great communication from Michelle. I had a few questions and everything was responded to with clear instructions. Lovely village feel to the immediate area.

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.

An annual booking now for some staff to assist and a great time and stay is always had. Diana is always more than helpful and the feedback from the staff staying here is positive, fun and there is always a fight between who gets the trip next year! Thank you Diana

a lovely location and property. Great it has a car charging point. Worked really well for our disabled friend. really well equipped, even included doves for cooking! brilliant utility / drying room. At checkin Caroline, the owner, was worried about car noise from the road, we weren't. it was not an issue for us and she says the road is soon to be closed from one end anyway. Lovely log burner, house got too warm!! All in all a lovely experience, would go again

This home and host is a little hidden gem of west mersea. The house is impeccably clean and cosy and honestly felt like home from home I slept well all 3 nights which is rare for me when away from home. The home has just about everything you could think of in it making life so much easier all round. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jayne who was very accommodating and helpful from the moment of booking until leaving. Would definitely want to stay again in the future. Thank you Jayne.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Apartment. Sarah was incredibly welcoming, kind, and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had such a cozy atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you again for such a great experience!

Had a great stay at Reilly's apartment. The building is just next to the park and a few blocks only from the high street and the city centre with all the restaurants, cafés and tourist attractions. Nadine was very friendly and responsive. The place was comfortable, spotless clean and equipped to a high standard. Can highly recommend for anyone looking to visit Colchester!

Very nice stay. I was there for a week for a work and everything that you could require was already there. Nice and cosy to make you feel right at home. Would definitely stay again

the location is fantastic and the little kitchen is fine for a short stay. thank you for looking after us and sorry about being clueless with the lights

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Christina who was very friendly, professional and made us feel at home. Breakfast and the quality of food were first class. An all round charming stay. location brilliant. thanks Tim & Jenny.

We were made very welcome when we arrived. The annex is lovely, well equipped, really comfy bed and beautiful bathroom. very peaceful getaway.

Lovely peaceful loft. Amanda was very friendly and made us feel right at home. Would love to go again next time we are in the area.

We spent two nights and it was great. Very cosy and welcoming. Jessica was very kind and provided the information that we needed. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone who desires a quiet and peaceful environment. This place ticked all the boxes for us. Thanks so much Jessica.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 adjoined cottages as it gave extra space and privacy too. The games room is inspired - a refuge for older children or adults with table tennis, table football, a radio and outdoor games but an independent goal for our toddlers too with gocarts and balls. Walking routes from the door meant no travelling by car for us so we'll have to visit again to see some of the many sights we've yet to visit! There are quite a lot of stairs between all the cottages which the children loved but put their parents on guard! The views the hillside afforded though were magnificent. And the animals on the working farm were a source of delight. Well equipped, Kate was on hand should we have any queries.

Stunning cottage in stunning grounds of a stately home / manor. The cottage is in a private orchard so you have a lovely very large green / garden with the accompanying birdsong to enjoy to yourselves! There are no other cottages so the grounds are private and wonderful to explore on foot too. The kids brought their bikes for some cycling on the attached woodland paths and lovely for morning or evening walks. The cottage itself is modern, spotless and well heated, lovely roll top bath and walk in showers. The cottage from outside to in is all one floor so great for our baby who was crawling (there is one step between the kitchen and living room). Hosts were very responsive and welcoming.

A lovely cottage, spotlessly clean. Plenty of space for 4 people. Wood burner was welcome in cooler evenings. En-suite rooms were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Setting was very peaceful, with ponds and fields nearby. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay, including a walk around the local village. Would stay again if returning to the area.

A lovely place to stay, and the boating lake was magical. As a caveat, the garden is shared and a little more overlooked than the pictures suggest, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Clean with all essentials - lovely sunny garden a great addition especially with a dog Nice walks locally and small shop 10 min walk - well equipped kitchen

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Polly"s lovely cottage Chisholm's. Very well equipped and very cosy. Fabulous grounds and garden which is a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing area to chill out in. Great location, a very special place to stay. Thank you Polly

A real super-host if ever there was one. This property is gorgeous and set within both public and private walks through woodland, farmland and along streams. The perfect place for a dog to run around and one of the best spots to capture local wildlife. We saw a river otter, a barn owl and ate lunch in the garden while watching ducklings learn to take off from the water. At night, we were warm in front of the lovely fire or amazed at the lovely stars viewable with so little light pollution. Would definitely stay again.
