Family-friendly vacation rentals in City of Colchester

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.

A perfect quiet and relaxing getaway. Excellent accomodation and amenities within... all the family enjoyed and wish to visit again in the near future. Highly recommend.

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!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Marcus ensured we were very well informed before arrival providing a guest book with comprehensive information and recommendations. We were greeted with bottles of wine & the house was very warm & music sound system set up. The barn is absolutely beautiful & immaculate. It is in a very remote area but this suited us all as we were happy to stay in and enjoy it. The log burner, games room & hot tub were added bonuses. A big thank you to Marcus for a truly amazing weekend break away with good friends ❤️

What a beautiful little place! We had a lovely time, the area was clean, I had no concerns on arrival. Fresh eggs were left which we did not make use of as we only stayed one night and did not take any food with us such as bread etc to make use of the eggs but it was a nice gesture. Hot tub was lovely! We stayed in it quite late enjoying a drink and just relaxing with the stars/animals in nearby field! The accommodation has two TVs, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom, the remote controls both which is useful but slightly annoying when you’re using one and accidentally turn the other on🤣 My only minor grumble was the bed. I’m not one to complain about beds as I could generally sleep on the floor if I had to, but it was SO SOFT. To the point we were rolling into eachother throughout the night in to the middle of the bed. I definitely think a bed frame/mattress upgrade should be considered. Overall well worth the money and we’ll be saving this one to consider returning!

Lovely break with family, lodge was beautiful and larger than expected and looked from photos, great space. Perfect place for our family getaway

Booked a long weekend away with my husband and two girls and had a wonderful time! I would 100% recommend Wakes Hall Lodges; the location is so peaceful (you wouldn’t even realise there are other lodges nearby!) lovely views as well. Check in was so easy and the lodge was spotless on arrival. The hot tub is a great feature and was so nice to relax in. Really spacious inside and comfy beds. I would recommend eating at the nearby Swan pub- food was great! Will definitely be looking to book again!

Such a beautiful weekend break. Stunning views from the master bedroom and we even saw deer running across the fields in the morning. Incredibly quiet and really relaxing. There was a lovely little gift basket of wine and shortbread when we arrived, and bowls for our little puppy! Helen was very kind and friendly and the perfect host! Thank you so much for welcoming us!

We had a great time here and would recommend to friends and family, location was quiet and peaceful local pub about 7 mins drive and we had dinner there was lovely.. poachers pocket We would definitely go back here as the cabin was super cute and great for the dog

Peaceful location in a beautiful village, extremely clean, cosy and romantic. Very clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very easy to find and check in,proactive host. Lots of beautiful villages to see close by.I would definitely visit again

It was a real pleasure to stay at Letheringham Mill. Jacqui was a great host, and both provided considerate instructions and recommendations before we arrived, and has thoughtfully stocked the cottage with everything you might need (including a lovely welcome pack!). It was a truly dog friendly stay - our dog would happily have stayed forever (as would my son and I!).

Great place to stay! tucked away in the beautiful country side. We made good use of the pizza oven! I would definitely be back and would recommend anyone to stay here. the house is full of charm.

an all round excellent air bnb experience, can't fault it .

The Coach House is beautiful, cosy, secure and a walkable distance into Woodbridge. The bedrooms in particular are lovely — high-quality bedding, both en-suite. It's located in the very large garden of Julia's house, which guests are free to make use of. Because Melton is a mile or so out of Woodbridge, it's easy to drive out towards places like Orford (well worth a visit). Julia was very easy to deal with. We would be very happy to return.

The stand out feature of this flat is the location - with openable french doors looking up the estuary and other views from smaller windows. I came here to unwind and it was fantastic to just gaze out of these windows onto the estuary, watching the tide ebb and flow, the busy birds and the weather rolling in. I was able to enjoy the outside without expending the energy reserves that I was trying to top up:- you can even watch the scenery whilst laying in bed! Incidentally the bed is a firm orthopaedic one.... which felt uncomfortable when I first laid on it - but it was my tense achy body that was uncomfortable and not the bed! in fact the bed helped my bones and muscles to sort themselves out and I slept really well - and lots! For those not falling into the category of recuperating carers - ROWHEDGE is lovely - plenty of walking and sights to see - the restaurant nr the flat is great! I was here in the winter months but I imagine much fun to be had on the river in summr

Accommodation: The caravan itself was spotless and well-equipped with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and appliances, making it easy to prepare meals. The living area was cosy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Bonus did not need to take bed linen as the beds were made up Facilities: The park’s facilities were top-notch. The communal areas were clean and well-maintained, and the on-site shop had everything we needed. The kids loved the playground and the swimming pool, which were both safe and fun.

Jenny, I hope you like my review, we enjoyed our short holiday in your caravan. I think you will need to fix some of the furniture, like the wardrobe door in the double room. Otherwise everything was fine, thanks. Peter

We had a lovely stay. The caravan was perfect and the beds super comfortable. The view was beautiful,the pictures dont do it justice. We were lucky with the weaher,it was lovely sitting on the decking in the beautiful Autum sunshine. Just wish we stayed longer. Thank you.

Wendy was so kind waiting for us on our approach,,welcoming , helpful and very informative, the annex was cosy, comfy, homely and just what we both needed, plus she popped over some fresh milk as I’d forgetten to being some , we will return thank you so much

The place was well furnished, and comfortable - with everything you would need for a short stay. It does get cold during the night, but thankfully Gaynor does provide multiple heaters to use which do heat the property rather quickly.

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.

A comfortable barn to stay in with the added benefit of both a pool and tennis court to enjoy during your stay.

Chisholm’s was absolutely gorgeous, filled with character and such a lovely place for a quiet getaway. The grounds are so beautiful and there is a very cute and friendly doggo around to spot too. The property itself is lovely, very well presented and cozy- a lot of thought has obviously gone into how to make things lovely for guests. Within short driving distance of places like Dedham, Manningtree and Mistley so we also visited some excellent restaurants. Polly herself is super friendly and nice, very responsive to messages and it was overall a lovely experience.
