Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rochford District

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Lisa’s place enough. We had a different air bnb booked which cancelled on us 2 days before our trip. We were so pleased to find Lisa’s lovely home and we are pleased our original one cancelled! The house is really large and spacious, lots of room for our group of 10. Rooms were comfortable and all facilities were more than adequate for our group. Lots of seating inside and out, lovely hot tub and a lovely sunny garden. The house is on a quiet estate with ample parking. Lisa communicated really well and check in was easy. Would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside and the grounds were even better. I booked this for my mum 60th birthday and we all had an incredible time. All rooms were beautiful with a lovely kitchen too, even better the welcome pack they leave you. The wrap around veranda was the highlight for us, we spent most of the days on that with the hot tub, we were lucky enough to have good weather so we could really make the most of it. The fishing lake was lovely my partner fished and enjoyed it. The owner was always happy to answer any questions whenever I needed them. Thankyou so much.

Very clean, bedding and towels smelled great. Hot tub was very relaxing, nice farmland surroundings and would recommend shoes/boots that can withstand the mud!

We had the most magical stay at this stunning countryside home for a bachelorette celebration, hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The house is beautifully designed, warm, and had everything we could’ve needed and more. Set in the most picturesque spot, with rolling field views full of yellow flowers, it truly felt like the ultimate countryside escape. The open-plan kitchen and living area was perfect for our intimate dinner party, spacious yet cosy, and ideal for gathering as a group. Each bedroom had its own charm and was so comfortable and inviting. Outside, the garden was just as beautiful, and the hot tub was a total highlight! The attention to detail throughout the property made it feel really special, and the overall experience felt both luxurious and homely. Communication with the host was seamless and so helpful from start to finish. We’re already dreaming about our return!

This is actually my second time and it was a great stay! Communication is great and you get s response within minutes. Lovely location, relaxing and even had a house visitor in the form of a cat!

Fantastic facilities for a big group weekend away; we were a group of 18 and had plenty of space and the sleeping arrangements were great. The property has been redeveloped to accommodate large groups. Karen was very helpful before and after the booking, asking about bedroom set up (twin vs double) and also giving instructions around check-in and check-out. The garden is fantastic and we enjoyed making use of that and the hot tub! We also had caterers in on the Saturday night who had cooked at the venue before and the enormous dining table was brilliant for our celebration.

Lovely little house in a great location. Would stay again.

We had a brilliant stay at Nicola’s house. It is beautifully done and very clean. Easy to find and get in with the lockbox. Amazing location for Whitstable high street and the beach. Would highly recommend!

Clean and very well appointed cottage a few minutes walk from the high street and beach. Parking in the road is limited but there is a car park at the end of the street. We had a great time in Whitstable making the most of the dog friendly pubs, restaurants and shops. Would definitely return and stay again.

What a fantastic birthday weekend spent at Mairead’s place! An amazing house - ideal for a family get together. We loved all the music references and decor! Kitchen was perfect for preparing group meals. The local area was great - enjoyed a walk to Broadstairs and an amazing meal at Botega Caruso. Will definitely be back x

We loved our stay at Moira’s house. The kitchen is really well stocked and equipped, the conservatory was a lovely warm, sunny spot for an afternoon nap and you’re perfect try placed to enjoy Deal. We were lucky with the cleaning times around our check in and check out and appreciated Moria’s flexibility with both. Some lovely welcome treats too!

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.

Beautifully positioned for a break away by the sea. The house is small but incredibly charming and there is so much to do in Whitstable and beyond on the Kent coast. Whilst parking provided us with a bit of a headache, that is a small price to pay for the change to stay in this hidden gem and Amanda was really helpful and responsive.

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.

What a find?! Myself and my 2 best friends had the most amazing stay at the pool house. It was just perfect. So many wonderful little touches, balloons for my friends birthday, the breakfast treats. Could not rate this place any higher! Will definitely be back x

Nice stay! Comfortable beds, clean rooms, thoughtfully laid out, well equipped, and so close to great walks and heritage sites. The kids loved the indoor pool. The chalet is probably meant to be enjoyed best in warmer weather but Neil provided enough space heaters to keep warm. The electricity is run on coin meter- took about 6-7£ for 2 days in February, could probably get away with half of that in warmer months.

A lovely caravan in a beautifully quiet location with a great view, but on a park which offers lots of activities and facilities. Really comfortable beds. Ideal for couples as 3 doubles. Sharon always replied quickly when I messaged and was helpful. I’m sure we will be back in the future.

Had a great stay. Comfy bed, great location and Wendy was helpful with local amenities . Will be back for sure

The entrance to the holiday village was a bit difficult to find (it looks like the entrance to a neighborhood with private residences when we expected a street) but once we did, we loved the cottage, the facilities there were in the village (playground for children, swimming pool, tennis, mini golf), the beach 5 minutes walk away! And on top of that, we had beautiful weather all week. We were able to take some interesting tours and enjoy the calm of the holiday village. We loved it! The Keepers Cottages team was very attentive, caring and responsive to resolve the issue we had with the TV. We are generally very pleased with our stay and will be happy to go back.

We enjoyed a wonderful long Easter weekend in this charming cottage. The space was cozy and perfectly appointed, lots of old charm - original cottage was built in 1550! - and special touches that delighted our children and made us feel like we were in quite a magical little space. The gardens are beyond gorgeous and just a lovely space to sit in the sunshine and watch our children play. It was a wonderful weekend filled with children’s laughter, bird song and cozy nights by the fire as a family. Thank you Tim & Maite for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us. The children are already asking we come back soon!

A fantastic lodge which had everything we needed for our stay and was spotlessly clean. Michelle was lovely and met us on arrival to explain everything. Would highly recommend.

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
