Cottage holiday rentals in Saffron Walden

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

Lovely little cottage in a lovely area of the country. We were down to visit a friend and watch a local theatrical production but we also managed to do some walking in beautiful woodlands that were just a few minutes drive away. East Harling is a very pleasant walk away - but probably not at night - as part of the walk is on unlit roads with no pavements. Possibly a little unfairly, the location review was dropped a star for this. Mary was very friendly, responsive and provided comprehensive and accurate information. All-in-all it’s a lovely bright little cottage in a lovely tranquil location ….. I nearly forgot the hot tub - lovely touch - clean and a very welcome mode of relaxation.

Sally’s place felt like going through a portal into a magical garden. The house was so cozy with beautiful vintage decor and an amazing fireplace. The highlight of the trip was eating breakfast outside by the river and watch the ducks. And can’t forget about the lovely host Sally is! Always responsive and helpful with lots of good food and nature walks recommendations.

We only had a one night stay but the property was so clean and beautifully presented. Our children loved the games! The hot tub was lovely and Hollie was hugely helpful and very responsive when there was an initial issue with it working. Thank you!

A beautiful cottage set in beautiful grounds. Perfect for our teenage girls who loved the hot tub and fire pit. Amanda our host was great and very helpful. Would definitely would love to stay again.

We booked this property to celebrate my mums 60th birthday and to say it was perfect is an understatement. We had a lovely long weekend in the hot tub with lots of BBQ’s. We also had 2 dogs and we felt so at ease that they were running around in the secure field. Will definitely be rebooking! Thanks Lucy & Co

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

We had the most wonderful time! The property is absolutely gorgeous to roam around and the house is really comfortable, well equipped and beautiful to stay in. Highly recommend!

We had a really lovely 3 night stay in charming Rose Cottage. It has all the amenities you could need and was very clean. Bed and pillows were really comfy. Very accommodating for dogs. Lots of information in the cottage for the surrounding area. We had 2 days of amazing walking. The local pub and micro brewery, an easy walk across fields, was an absolute gem. We spent 2 of our 3 evening here. I would highly recommend and we will definitely return. Thank you Mark

Once again we had the most amazing stay, just how we remembered from the last time, felt right at home, will always book and stay when visiting family. The comparison of our son sitting in the arm chair at 11 months and now almost 19 months blew us away. We can’t wait to make more memories here with our family.

The ‘Secret Cottage’ was a really nice place to stay, my wife and I really enjoyed our time there. A hidden gem.

Had a lovely stay at the weekend. was very clean and beautiful grounds. although in photos the sauna looks like its attached to the house, it isn't so that was a little disappointing, also the listing stated it was isolated, but you have a few neighbours next door and around. But we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice break. the playground was a good touch too, my daughter played on it constantly. host was lovely and helpful too.

Watt cottage is a beautiful little cottage which makes you feel at home. The cottage was well equipped with all the essentials needed. Samantha communicated with me when needed and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend staying at Watt cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This was our second time at The Stable and it didn’t disappoint. Clean, very comfortable and some luxurious touches. Great area for things to do, right by the sea but still peaceful and relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay at Caroline’s beautiful barn conversion. Everything was immaculate, lots of space, well equipped and furnished and so comfortable in every respect. Caroline was so welcoming and helpful and had provided so many very thoughtful extra touches, from all the ingredients for a delicious full breakfast with bacon and amazing fresh hen’s eggs, chocolate brownies, sweets to toiletries and so much more. Caroline really had anticipated all any guests could possibly need. The setting is so peaceful and just a short stroll to all the amenities of this lovely village and so easy to explore Cambridge from too. We were all very sad to leave at the end of our stay.

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

Fantastic cottage in idyllic location. Photos do not do it justice - it’s a beautiful cottage, full of character and charm. Lovely garden too. Had a wonderful stay and communication was excellent.

My family and I had a lovely stay at the Coach House. The property is beautifully designed and the decor is very stylish. The house was very clean throughout and we had everything we needed for our stay. Charlie was very quick in replying with any queries that we had throughout our stay also. We thought the paintings throughout the house were a lovely touch to the property also. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

My wife and I enjoyed a short break in Barn Cottage. We wanted to see Cambridge and found this place ideal to use as a relaxing base. Located on a quiet no through road and within walking distance to Milton Park and Ride, 10 - 15 minutes walk away, lots of pubs serving food, Fish & Chip shop and other shops all near by. Also within walking distance is a Tesco Super Store and a lovely Country Park only minutes from Barn Cottage. Barn Cottage it's self was perfect and didn't disappoint. Everything was to a very high standard and I would recommend Barn Cottage to anybody visiting the Cambridge area. Caroline was very friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay here again.

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 beautiful cottage with everything we needed in a peaceful rural environment. We really enjoyed our stay.

Another wonderful stay at Woodbine cottage!! This time we was able to enjoy the gorgeous garden as we were so incredibly lucky with the weather ☀️ The hammock was amazing and we enjoyed having our morning cuppa hearing the birds and enjoying the stunning garden Once again the cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped Helen is a wonderful host, who is so friendly and responsive! It’s such a pleasure to deal with her! We cannot wait to come back in the summer Thanks again!!

This was our second week staying here, after a brilliant experience the first time staying here, we had to come back again. Thank you for hosting us during our stay.

A beautiful cottage with top quality furniture, decor and all the details you need for a great stay. We loved how easy it was to find and get inside and I had one of the best night's sleep in ages as it was so quiet and the bed so comfortable. Thanks for a great stay Jo!
