Family-friendly vacation rentals in Basildon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Val’s place. The apartment was easy to access, and it is located in a lovely area on the eastern side of London. Walking distance approx. 15m walk to the Tower of London.

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 a great stay at Sophie and Sam’s place. We were two families traveling together and the house was both cozy and clean and spacious enough for people to have some space. We took public transportation all across the city, with buses right across the street and two tube stops within a 15-20 minute walk. We loved the Brownswood pub on the corner and the park across the street. Sophie shared details on neighborhood recommendations and was very proactive with communication. London is a big city so not everything is right around the corner, but we enjoyed being in a residential neighborhood with access to all the city has to offer.

We had a pleasant stay in London. The accommodation is close to the DLR, Janet is good advice and full of good attention. The apartment is very well equipped, the view is magnificent and the hot tub is appreciated after a day of sightseeing .

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!

Delightful home filled with photos and art from his many travels. Great books. It was like staying at a (very neat and organized) friend’s house. The location worked well for us, although a little bit on the outskirts of the busy parts of London. Comfortable, clean, and relatively quiet with a lovely patio in the back.

We absolutely loved the cottage and felt at home straight away. Pristine and with the most comfy beds we've stayed in for a long time! Very convenient for the high street, yet super quiet when in the house Parking right outside even when busy! The cottage is ideal for a family and we loved every minute!

The house is beautifully kept with everything you need. The enclosed garden is fabulous for the dogs safety. Bed is extremely comfortable. Off street parking is very handy. Close to my family for ease of visiting

Lovely house with a perfect, homely space. Perfect location for pubs restaurants and seafront and no issues parking directly outside either. Lovely stay! Thank you

Very comfortable and clean apartment, very cool location with tons of places to eat and drink.

Jubed is more than a host… he is a friend to his guests. He went out of his way to help is. with any need or travel emergency. The townhouse is beautiful and Jubed adds the extra little touches that make you feel like valued friends rather than just guests. I will definitely return to Stanmore street the next time I visit London! Jane G

Had a great stay at Jon & Melinda’s place, it was exactly as described. Communication was great and always on hand if anything was required. Would thoroughly recommend!

This Airbnb was perfect for a few days when had a few things to do around London. It had parking outside for one car. It was private, cozy and warm. I would stay again

We had a friendly greeting when we arrived at the Dough Cottage, and Alison helped with parking and places to eat: plus a few ‘things to know’ about the property. Alison had left us some yummy snacks and milk in the fridge! The garden is very secure which was great for our dog, Ted. The location is perfect, literally around the corner from the high street, and a short walk to the seafront, but also tucked away which gave us privacy. Lots of equipment in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. The pillows and bedding were great quality. I loved all of the coffee table books and art around the cottage. We (family of 4) had a fab stay and would definitely recommend Dough Cottage to anyone looking to stay in Whistable.

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

We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is cozy, well-located, and not far from the city center. Everything we needed was within walking distance. It was a perfect place to come back to after exploring London.

We really had a comfy stay here, beautiful flat and gorgeous garden. Everything is easy to use, clean and well stocked. Great big proportions and the pool is lovely. Mega comfy beds! All great. Nice to meet Sue and Ralph, Jean the other caretakers at the property/couldn’t be more helpful. Thanks

great place, walking distance to O2 arena. great host very friendly and responsive

Jodi’s home is a great place to stay. We were going to a wedding at Hackney Town Hall and could walk easily there and to the restaurant afterwards. It’s also beautifully located looking out at London Fields. The home was well provided for, we had everything we needed and so much more. We loved the decor, there was so much to see and read. Thank you Jodi, you were so helpful too and we loved your home.

We stayed here April 2025 for my stag party weekend. The venue was amazing. Clean, amazing surroundings great swimming pool. Host was great at setting us a up bedrooms spotless and bathrooms clean. I really liked the plum cottages I don’t think the pictures do the place justice the cottages are huge and have their own kitchens and bathroom and a private garden.

a lovely place to stay, left us breakfast items which were lovely Diana was the perfect host and very helpful thanks for a great stay
