Our second stay here. It’s a really nice place, peaceful, just as described and with charming hosts. The experience with Holiday Cottages was a little impersonal but Peter & Karen, the owners, couldn’t be more attentive.
A Scandinavian-style lodge features an open-plan design that merges the interior with the outdoor terrace through bi-fold doors. A hot tub is positioned on the deck, complemented by comfortable seating arrangements, creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining.

Coastal 2-Bedroom Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Log Burner

LouiseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great stay in a lovely location. Everything we needed on our doorstep, the sea, a few restaurants and pubs. View from the house was amazing and a delight to open the curtains each morning. The cottage had a quant and homely welcoming feel. Rowland (and his dad!) were always on hand if we needed the smallest thing (not that we did really). Overall a lovely place to stay with our 3 year old for a few days away, close to the coast.
A modern barn-style house features large glass windows, allowing natural light to fill the interior. A wooden balcony provides outdoor seating. A well-maintained garden with blooming blue flowers surrounds the property, complemented by green umbrellas and patio furniture.

Sunnyside Cottage - a beautiful rural retreat

NigelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Amazing little cozy cottage. Beautifully furnished, great aesthetic. Welcoming food items were a lovely touch along with items in the bathroom in case you forget to bring essentials. Lovely little kitchen area with oven, hob, microwave, kettle and toaster etc means you can knock up a meal during your stay. Almost at the edge of the village, with literally minutes walk to miles and miles of bridleways and footpaths through gorgeous countryside. Very Very quiet location to get away from it all. I walked the dog to the white horse pub (10 mins) in the evening and regretted not having a torch as there were no street lights for most of the route. Fantastic communication and flexible arrival departure times when able. Wifi is a little limited compared to the full fibre at home but you are right out in the countryside. It's adequate enough for email and browsing.

Romantic riverside beauty - Woodshed Letheringham

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A stunningly beautiful place!! Everything from inside to outside was just absolutely beautiful! Inside is decorated so lovely but we also felt right at home, equipped with everything you could possibly need for a little break! Location is great to explore other parts of Suffolk or equally just as beautiful to stay at the cottage and not venture far! The grounds are lovely to walk around as well as sitting out on the decking by the water which we loved!! Jacqui is a really friendly host, as well as everyone else we met, alongside her beautiful dogs! We felt incredibly safe as sometimes I feel uneasy staying in new places, and I slept so well! Thank you so much Jacqui, really looking forward to visiting your beautiful place again! Xx

Quirky 16th century cottage in Wattisham Suffolk

GethaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Sammy made us feel right at home from the minute we booked the cottage! It was exactly what our little family needed for a break away from London…it was a beautiful cottage and my kids adored every little corner of it! The fireplace was a hit as well as the cosy bedroom off the stairs upstairs! My little boy cried when we got home saying he misses the cottage!! We will definitely be back!!! It’s a gem!!!

Barn Annexe in stunning tranquil setting

KerryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My third stay in this beautiful barn and once again everything was perfect. The large totally secure garden space is such a bonus for the dogs. Jonathan always communicates promptly and is very helpful. I saw a little owl in the garden this time which was the icing on the cake. I totally recommend this peaceful place surrounded by glorious farmland.

Apple Tree Cottage

RobinRating, 5 stars9 months ago
The cottage is beautifully presented and the location is great - private and quiet but within a short walk of the harbour and the beach. This was our first time on Mersea Island but I’m sure we will return. Judy was an outstanding host, answering all our questions very promptly, and very kindly leaving provisions for us. The quality of the accommodation was even better than we expected from the photos. We visited with our grandchildren aged 3 and 5, and they loved the cottage and crab fishing from the nearby pier. I completely agree with the high ratings in the Air BnB website, and I recommend the cottage very highly indeed.

The Coach House

AdamRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect: close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. I especially appreciated the little thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel extra welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Sarah and Scott are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and welcoming yet valued our privacy. The independent suite was super clean and cozy, and had everything we needed. The property itself is in a rural area, which we appreciated for its peacefulness, but it does require a car.

Cosy Mersea Getaway

JanisRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Lovely cottage on a quiet road, with parking outside. The accommodation is as described & having a garden to sit in is a bonus. There is everything you need and Sarah gives lots of recommendations. Its central location means it’s easy to walk to the shops and the harbour. We will definitely be back as Mersea is a lovely unspoilt haven. Highly recommend Seafood at Dawn, and the Art Cafe( delicious cream tea), also Lorna at Galley Seafoods(next to the petrol station) makes the best fish pies and has a large selection of fresh fish.

‘Bonnie Cottage’ Luxury seaside cottage getaway!

SuzanneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Bonnie Cottage was very welcoming, felt very homely and was spotless. Very modern uncluttered environment with everything that you would need during your stay. Easy to locate and is situated in a very good location for all facilities nearby. Driving space is brilliant and having the garden is a real bonus. The host was very friendly and responsive in communications. She has thought everything through in much detail. A lovely homely cottage that I would love to stay in again in the very near future.
