Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Essex

Great location for a family weekend that included Colchester Zoo only 5 mins away.

A lovely place to stay and a friendly and helpful host. We felt very welcome and the place was very well kitted out for a family holiday by the sea. Would love to come back another time.

A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. It also had that more difficult to attain "presence", with each room allowing you to relax and experience its homeliness and history. The whole family (6 adults and 2 grandchildren) thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. No-one really wanted to leave. Waking up to see the expanse of manicured gardens from bedroom windows and breakfast room was a calming relaxing pleasure. Plenty of walks available, and the walk to the local pub for an evening meal was safe and easy along quiet country roads. Would certainly recommend.

3friends stayed in the house as going to a party at the golf club which was very near. It was all very nice and Kay was most helpful. We were close to the beach and all very nice and thank you Kay. Would highly recommend this property. Lin.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy English cottage! From the moment we arrived, Sarah made us feel so welcome. She truly went above and beyond—every little extra she left in the home made our stay feel special and thoughtful. The cottage itself was spotless and beautifully maintained, filled with authentic British charm that made it peaceful and relaxing throughout our stay. It had everything we needed and more—every amenity was thoughtfully provided. The location couldn’t have been more perfect: just a short walk to the main area of town and right across the street from the railroad station, which made getting around so convenient. This was the perfect countryside escape, and we’re so grateful for Sarah’s hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

To be honest I don't like leaving the type of review that I'm about to. The reason being that the Roundhouse was so wonderful that what I am about to write may make it harder to book again, as everyone should stay there at least once! The property is even more unique, and beautiful, than it looks in the photos. It may be hundreds of years old but it felt like home the second we walked in through the great, big, front door. All the creature comforts that a couple could need for a short break were there, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. It has to be said that I think the shower alone was worth the price we paid for the weekend as it was the perfect strength and temperature in a lovely large enclosure. If you ever want to actually leave the property there is a short stroll back along the road to Finchingfield. The village is the definition of picture postcard. There are numerous places to eat but I highly recommend the homemade pizzas at the Finchingfield Lion!!

David was an amazing host! The space was clean, and he was incredibly responsive. It was exactly what we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Beautiful place to stay, spotlessly clean, has everything you could need for a fantastic stay, lovely views from very large open planned kitchen living area, beds and furnishings very good standard. Thank you for a lovely stay

We had a lovely stay with our dog who enjoyed the spacious garden. Mary Beth was very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, met with friends, easy for taxi drivers to find their way. Enjoyed the walks around the area, Newhall feels you are living in the countryside with all the greenery surrounding the area. Very pleasant area.

The apartment is lovely - the beds are comfortable, it feels spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. It’s in a great location and has a beautiful view of the Estuary which really made the stay special. Trevor was very helpful, the welcome information gave us everything we needed to know and there was a kind touch of leaving biscuits and milk for us when we arrived, along with there being coffee and tea, etc available. A super Airbnb, would highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back. Many thanks Trevor!

Suited me down to the ground. Close to the station, and comfortable room with all the amenities you would need for a short stay. Sid was easy to reach and responsive.

Stayed at Janine's studio for 5 nights. Loved our stay, location was peaceful with easy access to local pubs and shops. Walkable distance to main road with two local pubs and Indian restaurant (which we didn't try) and chip shop(which we did..very nice). Also easy access to local buses into Brentwood high street, from there can travel to Romford, Chelmsford etc which for us was easier then taking the car. Studio was well set up, lovely and clean, with instructions on how to use heating etc. Janine did check in with me to make sure everything was ok which was nice. Studio exactly as described. As someone else suggested probably best to reverse onto parking spot as on a narrow lane. So couldn't fault our stay at all and would be happy to stay again next time we are in the area xx

Lovely self contained room with its own shower room/toilet. Teresa met us when we arrived and ran through everything we needed to know. There was everything we needed for the night and Teresa was helpful with the breakfast and drinks she supplied as we were leaving early. The room was in the perfect place for us, 2 minutes from our event the next day and 20 minutes drive to Felixtowe beach (where we went for a few hours) Would happily have stayed more nights and wouldn't hesitate to rebook if we were heading down that way again.

Lovely place, very well kept. Ruben was always responded in a timly mannor. A very good find!

This was our third time staying at Heidi's place - we love it! And the little touches that Heidi leaves make it even more special - after a long drive, getting in with our dog, to find a bowl of water already out waiting for him makes a huge difference! Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

We had a fab few days . The flat is lovely...has everything you need, lovely decor, very comfy sofa and bed. Good places to eat within a few steps and easy to get to the pier and other spots. Bifold doors open onto the balcony which is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. Road is busy but once doors shut the flat is quiet...especially the bedroom. Slept very well on the comfy bed. Would recommend highly.

What a beautiful home. Felt relaxed as soon as we popped the cases down and popped the kettle on. Two very comfortable sized and comfy bedrooms and a bright, clean and sizable bathroom. The main living area was as seen in the photos, loved the array of books and record player was just an added bonus. Kitchen area had all you need for cooking, so don't worry about bringing anything. Abigail was such an attentive host, checking in to make sure we were not in need of anything. Thank you for making our stay in London more enjoyable. Would recommend without reservation!

Lovely place, everything you need is there. Hot tub was amazing, house was clean. Highly recommend A*****

We stayed here for a couple of days whilst visiting family in Frinton. It was peaceful, extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. Carole's garden was very lovely with a friendly dog running around. Carole herself was friendly, relaxed and helpful. Well situated for Frinton and surrounding area. Definitely recommended.

Emmanuel was such a great host. The communication went very smoothly. He was very responsive, kind, flexible and easygoing. The location was great as it was very close to public transportation. Based on the description, there were no surprises. I can only recommend Emmanuel’s place.

The apartment was beautiful with lovely high ceilings! It was clean and very well equipped. We came from Dorset and with the help of Google Maps it was very easy to find the accommodation. It was a very easy walk into the city centre and took us less than 10 minutes. The city was very clean and had absolutely everything you could want. We would definitely recommend the apartment as it was so nice and welcoming.

A complete gem of an Airbnb and a delightful, helpful host in Fiona. The Annex is so spacious and comfortable. Fun days out exploring beautiful medieval local sites then back for drinks on the patio and a tasty supper from the amazing farm shop nearby. Our dog loved it too whizzing through the orchard fetching balls. We didn’t want to leave. Just fantastic.

What a spot, exactly what we wanted. Everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Thanks again 🙏
