Detached 3 En-Suites, Parking & Annex
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

Vicarage Farm House - a rural retreat
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!

Robin’s Nest - 4-bed home close to beach
This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Shore House - Walton
Katy was a great host, kept in touch & very kind as sent a gift after my mum had a accident. The house is spotless & home from home. Katy has thought of everything you may need. A perfect location with stunning views. Very quite & no problems parking. The french doors at the front of the house is a great idea as you can sit & relax in the sun. We will definately be staying again in the future & have recommended it already to friends

Perfect wedding guest space
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.

Billet Wharf House
Lovely place just few steps from the water. Close to restaurants and the main street. Cozy apartment. Andrew has allowed us to check in earlier. We would gladly come back.

Apartment close to seafront, Frinton on Sea ID53
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.

Cosy apartment in Moulsham | Long Stays Welcome
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!

Bright, spacious 1 bedroom flat
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!

Flat in Chelmsford - County Hotel
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.

Fawkes Perch
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.

Toothbrush Apartments Studio #2 Central East, Parking, (3rd Flr)
Very nice, very convenient and very close to the city centre flat. It was very clean, tidy and we could always find it warm during our whole stay. The parking permit that is provided is a huge plus since Ipswich is a town in which finding a parking slot is not that easy. The host is very friendly and can be contacted at any time, providing useful information for the town as well as for any activities that would interest a visitor of Ipswich. I strongly recommend to try this flat, next time I will need a flat in Ipswich I will definitely go for this one again.

Freshly decorated 2025 Thorpe bay beach apartment
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!

Seaside Beach Apartment HotTub & woodburning fire
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!

2 Bedroom Seafront Apartment
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!

Lovely spacious 1 bed apartment by the beach.
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.

Had a wedding nearby. The apartment was perfect. Good size and everything you need. Comfy bed and sofa. Thanks for a great stay - appreciated the flexibility checking in!

Stunning beachfront apartment: Parking,Garden,Dogs
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.

Estuary Views Penthouse with Parking
Hands down. Best Air BnB I’ve stayed in. Beautiful little 24 hours to celebrate mine and my partners anniversary in this beautiful spot x

Self Contained Studio in Wivenhoe
It was a lovely studio flat. There was coffee, tea, hot chocolate, snacks and fruit. Very modern and I loved the blinds. Siri was very helpful. Good value and a pleasant 25 minute walk to the wharf at Wivenhoe. Would recommend.
