Barn vacation rentals in Essex

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at the River View barn. The barn was lovely and so peaceful with a beautiful view. We had such a great time and would recommend this to everyone.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting. We used it as a base whilst at a family wedding. It was fully equipped and had all that we needed to enjoy our stay. It has an enclosed garden and patio which was lovely to sit out in. The main bedroom was roomy enough for a travel cot. We also used the sofa bed in the lounge which worked well for us.

We returned to this accomodation after staying in it a couple of years ago as we really appreciated the flexible check in and how beautiful the location/ barn were. Extremely peaceful area and very clear instructions on how to find/ get in - would highly recommend.

Lovely self contained space. Bijou but has everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Absolutely loved this little house, everything you need for a stay away from home. Great location and the garden is a little sun trap. The bath is also amazing we will definitely stay here again.

Sophie is a lovely host, she had left a lovely welcome package for our arrival.

Perfect for a party of 6 to 8 people, great social spaces and helpful host. We had a fabulous time and will definitely return again. Thank you Emily

Booked very last minute for a weekend away. A very comfortable, well equipped stay. Homely and inviting.

This was an idyllic stay. The location, the home the photos are exactly as it is, beautifully decorated with great comfort and thoughtful personal touches to make you feel most welcome. The hosts Rebecca and Joe. were most accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

The Byre is absolutely stunning in quiet and peaceful surroundings. Vanessa is very helpful and friendly and left us with lots of lovely "goodies" which were lovely and much appreciated. We had a lovely few days and will definitely return again in the not distant future.

We had a fantastic stay. The location is so beautiful and peaceful with great views of the garden and the decking being a sun trap was absolute bliss. Inside was really beautiful and spotlessly clean, with so many extra touches, from fresh fruit, to brownies to fresh herbs. Kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could ever need. I was so impressed and would definitely recommend! Thank you so much, we loved it. :)

Sharon is a really helpful and responsive host. She greeted me on arrival and showed me around the barn, and answered any questions I had - it was lovely to meet Sharon and her partner, very friendly! The barn is absolutely beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay at the barn for my friends hen party. Everything was clean and it had everything we needed for the most perfect stay. The local area is also very walkable, with the nearest put a 3 minute walk away. I would be more than happy to stay at Sharon's barn again!

We had a lovely peaceful weekend! Lovely and quiet, no traffic noise, lots of crickets and birds to listen to. Our dog Rudy loved the local walks. Rebecca was very kind and left us milk, cider and biscuits, all was much appreciated. Clean and well decorated. Highly recommend for a quiet break away and I’m sure we will be back in the future.

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.

A huge thank you to Melissa - the barn was simply stunning! It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Even when it rained, it didn't matter at all. The hot tub was amazing and the surroundings were beautiful. Definitely stunning!!

It's a super place. Clean, modern, bright. Well-equipped. Quiet - set back from the road. Just the thing. Thank you.

We had a lovely short stay at the barn. Great accommodation with everything you need, in a peaceful and tranquil location

This was our first ever airbnb rental. Were not disappointed as the accommodation looked exactly like the pictures. Alice was lovely, very welcoming and helpful. We had lots of family that live locally and ones that traveled to meet us, everyone was impressed with the barn accommodation and facilities and said it was good value for money. We would definitely stay again!

Had a lovely weekend stay. Dogs enjoyed the biscuits, very helpful with extra towels for cleaning their feet. Loved the apartment. Reminded me of my loft at parents house. Little treats. Grapes and bread yummy. Bathroom was lovely Everything we needed including deer in field Truly enjoyed our time thank you

Great host with a clean, bright property, good location! The fresh flowers and welcome pack on arrival were lovely and much appreciated !

Ben was a proactive and friendly host from the point of booking. Prior to our arrival he sent a great lot of info on hot spots to visit and tips for the area. This was really great having not stayed locally before! The property was very modern, minimalist, clean and well equipped. It was easy to access and set in the most beautiful garden. If you are into gardening/flowers you will love this AirBnB!! We met Ben during our stay and he was extremely welcoming. A bottle of fizz was left for our arrival which was a lovely touch! The bi fold doors were perfect for this hot weather. We would 100% return and recommend this property to others looking for some peace and quiet, close to a local pub, with nice walks and nearby towns for shopping and eating!

We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 adjoined cottages as it gave extra space and privacy too. The games room is inspired - a refuge for older children or adults with table tennis, table football, a radio and outdoor games but an independent goal for our toddlers too with gocarts and balls. Walking routes from the door meant no travelling by car for us so we'll have to visit again to see some of the many sights we've yet to visit! There are quite a lot of stairs between all the cottages which the children loved but put their parents on guard! The views the hillside afforded though were magnificent. And the animals on the working farm were a source of delight. Well equipped, Kate was on hand should we have any queries.

The loveliest little gem of a place! We had the best time here, the bed was one of the best that we’ve had - both slept so well. Looks small in the pictures but really doesn’t feel like it. The village is lovely, lots of shops and restaurants. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Great barn photos do not do it justice with beautiful surroundings . All amenities included with ample parking
