Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Babergh District

Jimmy was very friendly and helpful. His place was clean, and very well stocked with amenities and breakfast foods. It’s in a great location and nice and clean. I would definitely stay again.

Had a brilliant stay at Mulberry cottage whilst visiting over the weekend for a wedding! Would highly recommend anyone looking for places in Hadleigh to book here, all 5 of us loved our stay! friendly neighbours and Stuart was a great host and didn't miss anything, supplying us with everything we needed and the cittage itself was as beautiful as its photos! Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay at honeybee cottage we were made to feel welcome from the very start.We would certainly stay there again

We had a wonderful time at Alyson's. Our kids really enjoyed the outside space to roam and were in heaven feeding the donkeys some carrots. We will definitely be back next time we come to visit family.

A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. It also had that more difficult to attain "presence", with each room allowing you to relax and experience its homeliness and history. The whole family (6 adults and 2 grandchildren) thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. No-one really wanted to leave. Waking up to see the expanse of manicured gardens from bedroom windows and breakfast room was a calming relaxing pleasure. Plenty of walks available, and the walk to the local pub for an evening meal was safe and easy along quiet country roads. Would certainly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy English cottage! From the moment we arrived, Sarah made us feel so welcome. She truly went above and beyond—every little extra she left in the home made our stay feel special and thoughtful. The cottage itself was spotless and beautifully maintained, filled with authentic British charm that made it peaceful and relaxing throughout our stay. It had everything we needed and more—every amenity was thoughtfully provided. The location couldn’t have been more perfect: just a short walk to the main area of town and right across the street from the railroad station, which made getting around so convenient. This was the perfect countryside escape, and we’re so grateful for Sarah’s hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

John’s place was very clean and exactly as advertised. He also made an effort to leave milk, juice & cookies so we’ve had something to nibble on it for was needed. Nice area & shop was very close by. Great place to stay

Good accommodation in a beautiful area, very quiet, perfect for a " getaway." Accommodation was very clean.

For someone who had to go to university daily and also wanted a beer by the river with colleagues in the evening and go to London on weekend this place is perfect as it’s 20 mins to uni and 20mins to train station. The place has very rational space, good kitchen and spacious living room and bedroom, ready to be lived in for the two weeks I stayed! Definitely would stay again!

Had a great stay. Location is ideal on the waterfront, close to restaurants. Hosts very good. Would go back.

20 years ago we were married at Layer Marney Towers and returning to stay at Nicholas' Airbnb was an anniversary present to my husband. We had not visited since we were married so really appreciated being able to explore the grounds and gardens in peace to relive our memories and re-create some of our wedding pics. Nicholas very kindly opened up the room where we said our vows all those years ago. The space itself was charming and romantic and so so quiet (unless you count the chattering of jackdaws and bleatings of the sheep!) We slept well on the comfy 4-poster bed and enjoyed exploring some of the footpaths from the door to Aberton Reservoir and the Hare & Hounds at Birch. I really hope we do not leave it another 20 years before returning. This really is a very special place.

Jo was a superb host! Very helpful with recommendations and instructions to get into the place. She went above and beyond as well. When my friend left her rings behind, Jo helped us to look for it and arranged to have them returned to my friend. Her place also has a great location and is near to both the Colchester Town station as well good food options nearby. We really enjoyed our stay here and will hope to return next time!

Our second stay at the Old School Rooms. We were impressed the first time (April 2025) and just so on this visit (May 2025). It so comfortable you immediately feel at home. Everything available that you may need. Judith an excellent host, always responds promptly and very helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

Thanks Lucy and Lawrie, we had a lovely stay in the annex, it was perfect.

Lovely place to stay. very nice garden and inside everything is at hand for our stay. Very complete and big enough for us and our 2 dogs. they could roam around the garden without the chance of them getting out. We would love to come back in the future.

Beautiful flat, super comfy in terrific location. Around the corner from many shops, pubs, restaurants and five minutes' walk to marina and harbour with gorgeous views. Mark was very prompt and responsive. Hope to stay longer next time. We loved Woodbridge! Many thanks, Mark.

properties are very nice split level property that reminds me of an old Edwardian type property. It’s been very nicely done out the hot tub is really good and just generally everything just worked. The location is really good and we’d love to come back.

We stayed here for a couple of days whilst visiting family in Frinton. It was peaceful, extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. Carole's garden was very lovely with a friendly dog running around. Carole herself was friendly, relaxed and helpful. Well situated for Frinton and surrounding area. Definitely recommended.

A perfect place to stay in Bury St Edmunds. So handy to walk around the town and see the shops and the Abbey. The interior has a great theme with its colours and fittings. Super comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Sean even provided for our parking needs.

Great place in prime location on the seafront . Place was bigger than expected and had everything you could need and more for a week’s stay . Really clean and tidy . Plenty of treats left for us and the dogs . Overall really happy with apartment and location . Will definitely stay again .

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb — it was such a positive experience! The room was private, clean, and cosy, and we felt truly welcomed by our lovely hosts, Ann and John. We had access to their beautiful garden and summer house, where the kids loved playing with the garden toys. I enjoyed having breakfast and grounding in the peaceful garden — warm, quiet, and full of light. ☀️🌸💖 Ann and John were kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended! 🙏👍💕

The apartment is as described with convenient parking in a quiet location. Within walking distance to a local restaurant and Co-op plus fish and chip shop. Ideal for a short stay in Woodbridge and to visit the nearby attractions by car. We had a very enjoyable stay here having been greeted by the hosts on arrival.

A short stay at Siri’s studio in the beautiful village of Wivenhoe. Well located, with Wivenhoe train station nearby, and the University a 10 minute walk away (via the fields). Would absolutely stay again if visiting.
