Vacation rentals with lake access in Essex

Matt was a great host and very responsive. The house was a great location, close to Colchester and our wedding venue in Feering. Rooms were spacious, great communal area, kitchen and living room. All utensils provided. Would highly recommend

The house was perfect with plenty of space for the family. Great communication from Michelle. I had a few questions and everything was responded to with clear instructions. Lovely village feel to the immediate area.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property which was in pristine condition. Very close to the university which was exactly what we needed for this visit. The free parking space round the back was super convenient. The house was well stocked with all the essentials and some luxuries too - a nice surprise. We'd like to thank our hosts for having the property ready for us in such a welcoming way. This was definitely one of the best places we've stayed at in Colchester in this price range, with lovely hosts too. We're looking forward to our next visit.

Visited for a wedding nearby, great stay and Melanie was flexible with check in times.

Would highly recommend Bernadette’s air b&b. We needed somewhere to stay last minute (Due to a family birth), Bernadette kindly accepted us to stay the same day we were travelling up and she was so accommodating, even though we booked last minute. We absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, and the location was perfect for us. Bernadette was super responsive and helpful, making the whole experience seamless. The space was beautifully decorated, and the amenities were top-notch, perfect for even our one year old. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for such a lovely stay 🥰

This home and host is a little hidden gem of west mersea. The house is impeccably clean and cosy and honestly felt like home from home I slept well all 3 nights which is rare for me when away from home. The home has just about everything you could think of in it making life so much easier all round. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jayne who was very accommodating and helpful from the moment of booking until leaving. Would definitely want to stay again in the future. Thank you Jayne.

Had a lovely stay at this house for a week as I was visiting family who live near here. House was everything we needed. My only feedback would be that for me, it could benefit from having another sofa in the living room and two more dining chairs, apart from this small thing - it was excellent and suited our needs. (The park at the end of the road is great for walks too!). Many thanks to Kay for an enjoyable stay. Best wishes.

Due to other circumstances we booked this flat quite late, short before our arrival. Nelson was always reachable and answered the few questions superfast. Seamless Check-In and Check -out. Flat offers everything we needed for our London stay. Located on the London City Island - close to O2 and Canary Wharf.

Great place and location. Our family truly enjoyed our vacation time here and made amazing new memories.

Kappy made it very easy for us to check in by explaining and telling us if he was needed he’d be always available. Nothing more than if you are stuck. The apartment itself was incredible especially for the price and couldn’t reccomend it enough from the overview of the o2 and river Thames. Underground was close by too which helped getting into central. 30 mins max you’d be there. Check out was very simple and made it easy for us.

Everything was perfect

Great spot! Clear instructions and a very responsive host. Apartment was just as described and reasonably priced. Highly recommended for any future guests!

I stayed in Ima's studio flat just for one night and it was ideally situated a short walk to the bus stops where I noticed three bus services. It is easy to get to Abbey Wood Station from here. The accommodation is situated in a very quiet street with no passing traffic. Although the studio flat was small, it was ideal for what I needed. I was impressed with the light airy feel to the accommodation and the spotless cleanliness . A very welcoming place, and a very friendly host. Thank you Ima!

The Cart Lodge was absolutely perfect. The living space was comfortable and spacious, the kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were very comfy, and the shower had really good water pressure. There was lots of natural light in the property from all the windows, and the views across the countryside were just beautiful. The local treats left for us on arrival were a lovely surprise, and Angela was a very friendly and communicative host. We would definitely recommend!

We spent the holiday weekend visiting family in the neighborhood (whose house was too small to host everyone). The cottage was quaint but perfect for what we needed. The host was super responsive and very accommodating. It took us ~45 minutes to get into downtown for touristy sights - but it was very easy to navigate with public transit.

We had a lovely stay at the Cart, beautiful lakes and excellent fishing. The hosts were fantastic and there is a little cafe onsite. I would recommend staying here.

A lovely place to stay, and the boating lake was magical. As a caveat, the garden is shared and a little more overlooked than the pictures suggest, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

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.

Thank you Kate, my stay at the buttery was perfect

We have enjoyed our third visit here and have continued to appreciate the tranquil surroundings and well-equipped home. We look forward to another return visit!
