Holiday rentals with lake access in Tendring District

Lovely cottage, as described. Very quiet and peaceful. Hot tub a bonus and had been lit prior to our arrival to heat up. Great location for exploring Suffolk.

Great space and location thanks for having us

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.

Visited for a wedding nearby, great stay and Melanie was flexible with check in times.

A beautiful apartment in a great location. Bernadette was responsive and went over and above in accommodating my early flight arrival and late departure. The apartment had guests departing on my arrival but Leanne still managed to have it cleaned and ready for me to check in (early), thank you. If you are looking for a place that is literally 45mins from London (by train, station across the road), 5mins walk to Leigh Broadway with its shops and restaurants, and all the creature comforts of home, this is your place to stay.

We had the most incredible time with the family of 6 adults and our 2 grandsons celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. It’s without doubt the most quirky and fascinating place we have stayed. We have stayed in Suffolk numerous times over the years and have always been fascinated with House in the Clouds so it was a wonderful surprise to find we could hire it. It felt very welcoming and relaxed from the moment we arrived. The boys had the best time exploring and it all felt very safe. Natasha was very helpful from the beginning and was very quick to respond to any questions. Thorpeness is quieter than its neighbours along that coast but the local pub is great and there is plenty to explore without it being too busy. Would highly recommend and definitely keen to return another time!

This home and host is a little hidden gem of west mersea. The house is impeccably clean and cosy and honestly felt like home from home I slept well all 3 nights which is rare for me when away from home. The home has just about everything you could think of in it making life so much easier all round. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jayne who was very accommodating and helpful from the moment of booking until leaving. Would definitely want to stay again in the future. Thank you Jayne.

Excellent stay, house was clean and tidy, check in was easy would stay again

Theo’s place is located in a very convenient area where we can easily access to supermarkets, restaurants and the Colchester Town station. Check-in was smooth and instructions were clear. Theo was also very responsive to our questions. Spacious living room, dining room and bedroom and well equipped kitchen. Only downside is sometimes the neighbours are a bit noisy at weekend nights. Overall we had a very happy stay, thank you Theo for hosting us :)

the location is fantastic and the little kitchen is fine for a short stay. thank you for looking after us and sorry about being clueless with the lights

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Christina who was very friendly, professional and made us feel at home. Breakfast and the quality of food were first class. An all round charming stay. location brilliant. thanks Tim & Jenny.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Apartment. Sarah was incredibly welcoming, kind, and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had such a cozy atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you again for such a great experience!

First time visiting Colchester and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! Home from home and the location was absolutely perfect, literally right next to the castle park and less than a 5 minute walk to the castle and high street. Peaceful and super clean. Reilly was the perfect host. Friendly, responsive and helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed to dine in. Bed was comfy and linen was clean. The bathroom was also spotless! Thank you for having us and we will definitely be returning. 5 star 🌟 stay x

Very nice stay. I was there for a week for a work and everything that you could require was already there. Nice and cosy to make you feel right at home. Would definitely stay again

nice flat.

Fabulous stay at Charlotte and James (just one night unfortunately) - wonderful property with the added delight of James' Healing Pool - one terrific achievement. Great stay. Great story. Perfect Airbnb.

We hired the cart lodge for our wedding locally and we really enjoyed the space, it was perfect. Angela was very accommodating. The location is very pretty and peaceful. we would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Cart, beautiful lakes and excellent fishing. The hosts were fantastic and there is a little cafe onsite. I would recommend staying here.

We were looking for beautiful surroundings and peaceful location and we weren't disappointed. We could not ask for more. The cottage was spotless and Charlie was very helpful when needed. I do recommend the place with no hesitation.

Had a lovely stay very nice clean house. Would definitely stay again. :)

We’ve stayed in lots of AirBnBs but Rose Cottage has got to be the best! It's a newly refurbished cottage and we were lucky to be the first to stay in it since it's reopening. Absolutely pristine, wonderfully put together decor and lots of thoughtful touches that made it really special - including a very lovely welcome hamper and beautiful organic toiletries to use. The whole place smelt divine! Beautiful private garden as well as huge grounds to roam around in, including an amazing swimming pond - we dived straight in on a scorching day. Pauline and Mat were was the loveliest of hosts and really made our time there feel very relaxed. They were on hand if you needed them but unobtrusive if you want to be left to enjoy the tranquility of the place. Very easy to get to the coast to explore but you may not want to leave the cottage! We all absolutely loved it and will be back.

The cottage was exactly what we needed for our long stay while we relocated to Bury St Edmunds. Truly a home away from home. Will be remembered with very fond memories and hope to visit again when our friends stay at the cottage.

Really lovely cottage, very well thought out and equipped with everything you might need. Very clean and comfortable and the garden is lovely and gets the sun. Lots of footpaths nearby so great for dogs too. We stayed for the weekend but could easily have enjoyed staying longer. Would recommend, thank you!

"Our family had a fantastic time at this accommodation. Lance was a truly superb host – so friendly and helpful! We were lucky enough to have one of the best spots right by the lake, which was incredibly peaceful. We loved seeing all the wildlife and enjoyed some truly lovely walks. We're definitely planning to book again for next year. A big thank you to Lance!"
