Cottage vacation rentals in Clacton-on-Sea

Great location and Paul was a very helpful and communicative host, even helping one of our guests recover some belongings they had left behind. Thank you very much, Emily

Lovely stay here. Great location and hot tub was a great touch.

Great hosts, peaceful and relaxing location. Clean, spacious and comfortable lodge. Well eqipped with all you could need during your stay. Loved the hot tub and the outside decking area. Large dog friendly garden which my grehound loved running around in. Quiet woodland nearby for dog walks and a farm shop that sells delicious fresh cakes. Resonably priced and would happily book to stay again. Thank you

As a family of foodies and in particular loving shellfish West mersea and the cottage were absolutely perfect for us. Our two teenagers loved the hot tub and we thoroughly enjoyed cooking good food in the small but perfectly formed kitchen and sitting in the sunshine in a very pretty deck watching the world go by. three nights was a treat, But perhaps a few extra just to make sure we could try all of the wonderful food offerings West Mersey provides . Thanks Roland for being a great host - we loved the cottage and would love to return.

I stayed here with a few friends for a valentines get away. It was peaceful and exactly how described! I will definitely be coming back! Thank you

Extremely clean and cosy! Had all the necessities needed for a nice weekend. The hot tub was great! The location is good too, as you are only a 10 minute drive into the town centre. The only thing we could fault - the matresses were a bit uncomfortable.

Fantastic cottage in idyllic location. Photos do not do it justice - it’s a beautiful cottage, full of character and charm. Lovely garden too. Had a wonderful stay and communication was excellent.

Our stay at Rise Cottage was perfect. The cottage itself is charming and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Mark was the perfect host. He showed us round the grounds and the cottage and gave us some helpful tips as to local places to visit. We would definitely visit again!

We had an amazing stay at 4 Angel Lane, Woodbridge. The cottage is small but has everything that you need as well as being in a perfect location. With the bonus of a lovely garden to enjoy the early spring sunshine our break was everything we were wanting. Thank you x

Adam welcomed us on arrival and was friendly and accommodating. When we needed to contact them about a couple of minor things, they were responded very quickly and dealt with any small issues immediately. Very friendly and provided local information. Accommodation was as expected, presented well - a 400 year old cottage with quirky, rustic and therefore in keeping decoration. Well appointed and plenty of kitchen accessories for cooking in if that's what you want to do. A lovely welcome pack provided :-) Nice pub over the road, beautiful walks to local villages with other great places to eat, a good location for a relaxing and walking and admiring the local scenery.. Area popular with bird watchers it seems (being right on the estuary...) Some road noise outside as the cottage is right on the road, but you soon get used to this if you're not already.

Amanda and Simon were warm and engaging hosts. If you love nature and enjoy outdoor activities the location of the stables in the surrounding countryside is perfect. There is such a variety of places to visit and local areas to explore that four days was not quite enough for us. So I'm looking forward to a return stay here soon. Michael

Authentic little bolt hole in the middle of Lavenham, yet just away from the hustle and bustle of the high street making it lovely and quiet. Quirky, boutique and perfectly formed for such a traditional cottage, with a gem of a garden. Lovely linens, comfy beds and fluffy towels too.

We had a great Easter break, it was quiet and met all our needs to be able to walk each day and not really need to get into the car. The layout was ideal for us and the 2 dogs and though there are people around you we felt private and did not hear any of the neighbours, the kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was very comfortable and so was the bed which was a plus. Would definitely consider using this as a base again.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place to stay ! Humperdink feels cosy and comfortable inside and then you have the peacefulness of the surroundings right on the doorstep . The weather was perfect so we enjoyed walking through the bird reserve as well as a lovely visit to Mersea island . Inside , there’s pretty much everything you could need for a stay and my teenage boys even enjoyed looking through and playing a couple of the games ! We saw pheasants, deer , rabbits and plenty of water birds and the clear starry sky was just beautiful. Highly recommended as a peaceful and relaxing get away from it all stay 😊

We had a lovely time at Rockhopper. It is warm and cosy, the beds were extremely comfortable and the appliances are very modern. The kitchen/dining area is large and very attractive with lots of light coming in. The sitting room is cosy with a large TV. It was fabulous being able to walk to the pub within a minute and we loved the walk along the river and particularly to go out to see the sunrise over the water. Megan is a very proactive host, allowing us to go in early because the cottage was ready early and helping us by organising something we left behind to be sent on.

Cottage in a great location. In quiet lane. A short walk into historic Woodbrige - 3 mins. Similarly a short stroll to river front. Cottage is very comfortable and welcoming. Excellent. Thoroughly recommended. Would go again :-)

Cumfortable, well equiped accommodation. Excellent location for quiet stay. Owners are super friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely recommend.

This place is absolutely perfect for families. Paul and Jane are such lovely hosts making you feel so welcome before you've even got there. The cottage is cosy with a great size and well stocked kitchen. The play area next to the cottage was great with a play barn as well with loads of books and toys to choose from. The outdoor bath was perfect with such a beautiful view over the landscape. Paul and Jane have thought of everything to make the stay as brilliant as it can be. Honesty bar and freshly made pizza in the pizza oven if you're lucky. So much in the area to do as well, will definitely be coming back.

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.

We had a perfect stay.. the cottage is beautiful and fully equipped. The location was fabulous ..beautiful beaches and walks... it was perfect.. so much so we have booked again for december. We cant wait... a true gem! We had not been to mersea before ... but by gosh we will b going back again .. if you fancy a relaxed and cosy place this is the best place .. thsnk you very much

Lovely place, exactly as described and with everything you could want. Close to all we needed - town, beach, walks. Appreciated all the extras (and bottle of wine) provided by Angie. Mersea island is a fantastic place for a rest, for great seafood, for walks (we managed a 15 mile walk around the island) and nearby nature reserves.

Stunning cottage in stunning grounds of a stately home / manor. The cottage is in a private orchard so you have a lovely very large green / garden with the accompanying birdsong to enjoy to yourselves! There are no other cottages so the grounds are private and wonderful to explore on foot too. The kids brought their bikes for some cycling on the attached woodland paths and lovely for morning or evening walks. The cottage itself is modern, spotless and well heated, lovely roll top bath and walk in showers. The cottage from outside to in is all one floor so great for our baby who was crawling (there is one step between the kitchen and living room). Hosts were very responsive and welcoming.
