Kid-friendly holiday rentals in City of Colchester

We had an absolutely wonderful family weekend in Victoria’s beautiful farmhouse. There was everything we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. All the bedrooms were great and the garden is beautiful - the children loved the trampoline! We also loved having the cats around - very friendly! Thank you so much. We had a great time!

What a stunning place! A quirky house with lovely farmhouse style kitchen (don’t forget to bring tea/coffee etc), large and great layout. Communication was great 👍🏼 There is a local Spar shop about 6 minutes away and a larger supermarket just over 20 mins away. The thing that really blew us away was how great it was set up for kids!! Lots of DVDs, a play room FILLED with toys (all perfect for us with three boys), three high chairs to pick from, lots of plastic plates/bowls/cups/cutlery! The garden was also contained a large trampoline, slide, jungle gym, sandpit, basketball nets and balls, football goals and balls, and an awesome tree house! It had gorgeous bluebells throughout a wooded area too, the outside space is huge and amazing!! We had a fabulous weekend catching up with family :)

Jason was a great host,he went above and beyond what we could have expected. He was friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay

Only a brief one night stay as we were visiting family nearby, Joyce’s place was clean and comfortable. Neighbourhood a little noisy, but it was a Saturday night. Felt at home otherwise. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

We had a lovely one-night stay at this beautiful Victorian house on Lyndewode Road. The location is fantastic—quiet yet very central. The home is spacious, full of charm, and thoughtfully maintained, with elegant details that make it truly special. It’s equipped with superb appliances, and we especially appreciated the collection of books and classic and jazz music CDs—such a cozy, cultured touch. The host was also super helpful and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A truly memorable space—we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Second time here, nice peaceful and quiet area no to busy for location.

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.

Had a fantastic stay. Location was perfect. House had everything we needed with loads of extras. The kids really appreciated the toys and books in particular. We’ll definitely look to stay again next time we’re visiting

We had a wonderful stay. The flat is really close to the beach and looks even better in reality than the pictures. And Barbara is a fabulous host- very responsive, and she was really helpful about a couple of matters.

Stayed here for 3 nights as was visiting my sister who lives nearby, everything was as described, nice was very kind and very helpful! My only issue is was the amount of stairs (with a baby/pram) that said I would stay here again 100%, thanks nico for a welcoming stay!

My stay at the accommodation was absolutely wonderful! The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the attention to detail—everything from the soft linens to the well-stocked amenities made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was also perfect, close to everything I needed. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Brilliant place to stay, convenient area beside lots of shops, nice area as well. Very good host, place was lovely and felt like home!

Great host, the house is exactly as in the photo, everything is very clean, the kitchen has all the necessary utensils. I will definitely come back!

The apartment was prestine. Check in was great. The lovely lady from Bournemouth checked us in and made sure our fridge was stocked with milk and water and teas and coffees. She was lovely and very helpful. Everything was walking distance and perfect for us. Thanks again would highly recommend.

Gareth's place is a great place to stay, close to the sea front with a short walk to pubs and restaurants which are really good. The apartment has everything you need and is really comfortable. A great host and i will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay in this family-friendly and quiet area. The flat is clean and well-maintained, and the host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The large Waitrose within walking distance is very convenient. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no lift in the building, which can be challenging if you have a lot of luggage. Overall, a great place to stay with no complaints.

Wow! it's the easiest way to describe our whole stay. The apartment was fantastic, from the moment you stepped in, it felt like home. A place to unwind and relax. Everything is placed in such a lovely way that it feels like you put it there yourself it genuinely felt like our own home. The view from the balcony was incredible. Being able to sit there and drink a coffee looking out over the ocean was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again for another get away!! Thank you to Mark and Maxine for hosting such a fabulous apartment!

Sam’s place is at a fantastic location with everything within a short walk. The bed was probably the comfiest I have ever slept in. The place was spacious and stylish and had everything we needed. Would stay again and would recommend!

Had a great stay at Katy’s space. Everything was clean, comfortable and matched the description and we enjoyed the goodies Katy stocked the kitchen with to get us going! Great location - very close to everything we needed. If I was ever in Walton or Essex again would be happy to stay again. Communicating with Katy was very easy and she was happy to help with any questions!

A very nice apartment with some lovely practical touches.Commication with the host was excellent and the advice provided was good. It was located a little out of Cambridge city for walking purposes but local transport was fine. Overall it was a very enjoyable couple of days.

We had a lovely weekend getaway at Tim’s place. I booked it very last minute and he was quick to get all the information to me to ensure a smooth entrance to the property. The flat itself is right on the beach with gorgeous views for your morning coffee! The flat is quiet and cosy and has everything you need for a relaxing trip. Thanks guys!

I am a heavy travellers . I stayed so many places before. Hotels or flats. Aniesha’s flat is like a five star hotel suite! Very modern and stylish. The building is only 1.5years old. Very clean and the location is very convenient just in front of railway station and near supermarket and shopping center. Lots of restaurants nearby. It makes me feel like home. Thank you Aniesha! Aniesha is a very nice host. I already look forward to coming back again! Wish a merry Christmas and Happy new year.

We had a wonderful long Easter weekend at this apartment, booked easily even though it was very last minute due to being let down by another owner. Thank you to Caroline for being so helpful and super responsive. The location is perfect to explore Felixstowe on foot and it’s handy having private off-road parking. We played mini-golf, ate out at some great spots, used the huge park down the road, went to the arcades on the pier and swam at the leisure centre just across the road. The space is beautiful, spacious, clean and we had everything that we needed, and more. Clear instructions and helpful information on the pre-arrival details too. Our daughters didn’t want to leave! We’d love to return again.

We had a great stay at Kates place. it's very deceiving to look at but the place is very spacious,off street parking it's perfect for a city break away. the beds are super comfy and the place was spotless. definitely worth a stay
