Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Tendring District

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!

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!

Had a great family weekend staying in this beautiful home. The ground floor en suite bedroom was ideal for my elderly parents with 3 further ensuite rooms upstairs for the rest of the family. We cooked in both evenings and found all the equipment we needed in the beautiful, well equipped kitchen. Then simply enjoyed sitting around the dining table together. The house is truly beautiful with very comfortable beds and is in an equally beautiful area. We really hope we'll find an opportunity to visit again!

David and Jo were excellent hosts. Every little detail had been carefully thought out, and taken care of. They were extremely kind and thoughtful throughout our stay, and could not have been more helpful. The cottage itself is so charming, and beautifully presented. Quiet and peaceful, a perfect haven to come back to. We will most definitely be back.

It's a super place. Clean, modern, bright. Well-equipped. Quiet - set back from the road. Just the thing. Thank you.

Kerry is a great host, greeted us as we arrived and told us all the local places - house was really nice and really near Ickworth House and Bury St Edmond’s - def recommend staying here

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

It’s a beautiful 4-bedroom house which sleeps 10. It has a very large airing dining room at the front and large, but cosy, panelled sitting room at the back with fully working hearth with logs provided. Large bathroom with walk-in shower and free standing bath. Just walk down the steps through the gardens opposite to catch the train to Southend. We had 3 cars and parked the 3rd free 30 seconds away. There’s a few little DIY jobs that need addressing but it does didn’t deter from our stay in this beautiful house.

Very clean and modern, leva makes it a comfortable stay with good communications.

Mark was a gracious and responsive host. Mark pro-actively checked- in with me regarding the comfort and satisfaction of the flat. The flat was clean, comfortable and as pictured. The location felt safe and is an idea location close to the train and within walking distance to lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. Should I return to Southend-On-Sea, I would book again.

We couldn't imagine a more perfect place to have stayed. Comfortably fit our family of four & two dogs for our walking holiday. It has everything you need to feel at home & the hosts are super friendly. Our kids have already asked to stay again, we left four hours ago.

gorgeous house will definitely stay here again

Such a lovely stay at the Lily Pad. The hut was very clean and had everything we needed, even a marshmallow stick for the fire pit. There was plenty of wood and equipment to use for the fire which we lit 2 nights in a row to sit outside under the stars. The only thing to grumble at (and pulling at straws here)were the blinds on the windows, as soon as the sun was up the light shone through the edges of the blinds making it very bright. Overall a brilliant stay and would definitely return. Lovely welcoming hosts too.

Fabulous stay, home from home. Will definitely be returning and no hesitation in recommending to others. Nikki made us very welcome.

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

Vikki-Jo was attentively welcoming with the most efficient responsiveness we've experienced on Airbnb. The cabin was roomy, rustic and perfect for us. The hot tub toasty warm and spotless. We had a little spider friend in the shower room who popped his head out to say hi occasionally, but we liked them. It was totally private away from the main property and everything was as described. The whole stay was a perfect experience from the moment we booked right up to the moment we left. This is how Airbnb should be done. A true 5 star experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think it was competitively priced for a stay with a hot tub which we enjoyed after walking around Colchester Zoo all day. Thank you Vikki-Jo for our wonderful stay 💐

Amanda was the perfect host for a wonderful property. We loved the fully fenced and well maintained yard, a secluded hot tub, and the great gated area. The house was equipped with all necessities. We visited the nearby pubs which were all very welcoming with great ales and food. We will definitely come back.

Had a lovely time , wish we could have stayed longer very responsive host , very clean , not expensive and exactly as advertised. We were also running a bit late at check out time and the host graciously extended the time at no extra cost … also a cheeky bottle of Prosecco in the fridge which was a nice touch . We will be staying again

Chris and his wife were wonderful hosts—warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. My wife, our small dog, and I had a fantastic stay. Thoughtful touches were everywhere: coffee, milk, cereal, even dog bowls and treats—perfect for dog lovers. The photos and description are spot on; the place is just as lovely in person. One evening we returned late to find the outside lights had been left on for us—such a kind gesture. We were also offered a later checkout without even asking, which was really appreciated. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay in this peaceful hideaway. The cabin was well equipped. The kitchen had all the basics and all instructions were clear for the heating and the hot tub.

We had a wonderful time at the Bothy! The location was beautiful with views over the vineyard and countryside. The Bothy had everything we needed, with great attention to detail. We loved the hot tub and fire pit and couldn’t recommended this stay enough! A perfect bank holiday get away from London. We enjoyed walking in the local countryside and even went on a day trip to Cambridge which was really easy- we just got the park and ride which is about 50 mins away. Thank you for having us :) we will be back!

We had a fabulous stay, everything was just as described, location was perfect. Lovely little touches, eco counter spray, dog bowls, dog towel, candles, throws. Bed was so comfy. We did not want to leave. It would have been handy to have a shelf in the shower to put shampoo etc but apart from that everything was spot on. Claire was extremely helpful. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊
