Barn, heated pool, stables, farm stay

DaltonRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Pretty much everything about this house was perfect, the host was very responsive and helpful. Really happy with the whole experience and hope to stay there again one day not just because of the beautiful house, but also to see the friendly chihuahuas that would come to sit with us in the afternoons.

JohnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Spent a lovely few days, we had planned to go out and about but we the grounds were so lovely we didn't need to. Lara was always available if we needed but we were left to ourselves to relax and enjoy the cottage and grounds. My kids want to go back already!

Bear House, Nayland, Suffolk

KatieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Bear House. Marcus is a fantastic host, replying promptly and helping whenever we had questions. His house and gardens are spectacular and we loved our swim in his natural swimming pool. Nayland village is beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk along the river spotting a heron, several varieties of poppy and admiring the riverside houses on the way to the Anchor pub. We also enjoyed brunch at the old mill and a meal at the Angel, which is 5 minutes’ drive away in Stoke-by-Nayland.

DaisyChain 2 Getaway- StayPlayGetaway

GeorgeRating, 5 stars13 months ago
What made our stay so great was the communication we had with Daisy. There were a few snags, parking, getting in the complex late at night without a key code, heating and water didn’t work the first day and the light in the kids room didn’t work. That said, she was incredibly helpful and polite. All sorted quick as a flash. Very clean, free WiFi, all you needed for a nice weekend break. Would 100% go again and recommend to any family. We’re a family of 5 and it was …..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!! Thankyou Daisy! 💙

The Old Steam Mill, Luxury in a beautiful location

AmberRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had a wonderful weekend at the old steam mill. Photos don’t do it justice - it’s even more spacious and beautiful in real life! Very comfortable and quiet, the hosts Mark and Celina accommodated us at very short notice and were lovely and responsive when needed. The garden was perfect to enjoy a drink and meals in the warm summer evenings and our dog loved exploring. It was everything we hoped for a countryside getaway not too far from London.

Great location for attending a wedding at Villiers Barn. House is really well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Gemma was really responsive prior to our stay and provided lots of useful information re the local area, places to eat etc. The hot tub was a big hit with all of us, particularly our 5 year old grandson!

Had a wonderful stay in this delightful, beamed farm house with great character. Lots of space inside with large lounge and dining room and nice sized bedrooms. Large kitchen with AGA cooker. Gardens are beautiful, so well maintained, peaceful and lovely walks through the countryside. Perfect for a nice relaxing break. Local farm shop a few minutes drive away has all you would need plus there's a very nice restaurant too.

Had a lovely stay here. Found the rooms really spacious and comfortable. It’s a peaceful location yet near the city and has A12 access for a quick getaway. The coffee shop and Coop a few minutes walk away were also really handy for the morning boost and to shop.

3Bedroom House-2xFree Parking-Free WiFi-HytheHill

JohnRating, 5 stars8 months ago
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.

I had a lovely stay here with my son and dog. We came to clacton to visit family and it was ideally positioned for this. The local rugby field is just behind the house, which was ideal for walking the dog. Would definitely stay again.
