Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea

Due to issues with the original booking Laura very quickly contacted us and arranged for us to stay at Quince cottage this was a lovely clean place to stay with a large garden and easy access to all amenities so we were very happy with our stay.

A beautiful house - modernised inside without losing any of its period charm - in a great location. Katrina was a perfect host. We’ll certainly look to stay again in future!

Whitstable is a lovely warm-the-soul sort of place and this is the ideal AirBnB if you’re planning a visit. Kate (your host) has performed a pristine renovation of a beautiful cottage on Albert Street - it’s private and quiet, and just one-minute from everywhere you want to be. We’ve stayed there twice. Kate is a great host, always responsive and helpful. You can’t go wrong.

Ideal location to explore Whitstable as a newcomer or as someone returning for the 10th+ time. The place is very central, ideal for two couples (in our case). Has all the basics covered. Good showers etc. Instructions were fine. Access is easy. Nothing to dislike at all. We'd happily come again. Note: There is a pub opposite which can be a little loud during pub hours, but you're probably out then anyway!!

We had a wonderful stay at Jamie's Cottage in Whitstable. It had a great location, is airy and stylishly furnished, lots of great art prints and in the typical style of an English fisherman's cottage. Everything we needed was there, the kitchen was well equipped and Jamie made sure we were comfortable. I only realised afterwards that dogs were allowed, but it was really very clean and you didn't notice a thing! Above all, the bed was super comfy, there was great bed linen and the shower was perfect (in some holiday homes it's a disaster). Thank you Jamie, we would love to come back!

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 great stay in Whitstable. The house was clean and everything was as described. The stairs are very steep so we had to be very careful descending them while holding a baby Parking was limited in the streets around the house but we managed to find a space most days although had to use the pay and display car park at the end of the road on one occasion. The house is in a great location just a 5 minute walk to the high street where there are lots of cafes, bars and restaurants. Would recommend to others.

Had a lovely few days at the house which was well equipped and had loads for the kids to do. Easy to find/access and was a great space for 2 families of 4. Look forward to coming back for future visits.

Lovely place to stay whilst working in the area

What an incredible place!! There was lots of really interesting information available about the location - the only national reserve where you can stay the night! The hut was very cosy, and the fireplace kept us very warm. It was quite easy to use the kitchen, just keep your meals simple. We were treated kindly and inclusively. I would recommend this to anyone!

Scott was a responsive and friendly host and communication was very easy. The accommodation was in a great location, close to shops, pubs and a park. It was clean and had everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Sara's house was immaculate and beautifully furnished. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the bathroom very clean. It was a convenient location for us to stay while visiting my daughter at the university, just 5 minutes drive from the centre of Southend. There are shops and cafes etc just around the corner too. The only thing I hadn't realised was the fact the bathroom is downstairs just off the kitchen which wasn't ideal for my mum doing midnight trips to the loo! But we managed. We also hadn't realised about the security payment but that's my own fault for not reading the House Rules on the advert. Sara was very communicative and helpful around this. All in all, a highly recommended house.

Stay was Good, But Need to improve some things Mainly Guest supply’s.The Tv needs to change I think have some issues. Also Bathroom shower head was leaking wasting water .One of the chair leg was broken.WC cover lid was loose not comfortable while using.

It was the perfect home away from home! Everything was super straightforward and accessible including shops, parks/open spaces, check in, parking etc. The home was beautifully decorated, clean and tidy. Not a bad word to say about my visit and if I’m ever in the area again I would definitely stay again :)

Lovely spot to stay just in walking distance to the beach, harbour and shops. We didn’t cook in the property, so can’t comment on the kitchen facilities but it was a good base to explore Whitstable and the surrounding areas.
