Vacation rentals with lake access in Grays

While the outside might look plain, don’t let that fool you. The moment you walk in you’ll realize that this is one of the nicest, coziest airbnbs you’ll find. They have everything you need, it’s all super high quality, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Could not recommend more highly.

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.

Sure! Here’s a polished Airbnb review based on what you described: We had a great stay at this Airbnb! Check-in was super easy and hassle-free, which was a great start. The house itself was spotless and very spacious—plenty of room to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the cool all-in-one table that worked as a dining table, pool table, and table tennis setup. It added a fun touch to our evenings! The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable—soft yet supportive, which made crashing after a long day out feel amazing. We slept so well! Customer service was also top-notch. The host was really kind and communicative throughout our stay, even helping us arrange convenient parking access right in front of the house. They checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend this place and stay again!

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.

We loved our stay. Lynne was an amazing host providing frequent and clear communication prior to and during our stay. Easy check-in and the house itself was incredible, great for families. Very well furnished, spotlessly clean and comfortable. A rare property given that this is a mews house (rather than an apartment) with private parking for one vehicle, especially in such a great location. Regent's park, great coffee shops, restaurants, shops and a well-connected Underground station all within a few minutes' walk! Our thanks again to Lynne for a wonderful stay and also for allowing us to park up and drop our luggage off before the check-in time. Well worth the money and we'd definitely stay again.

Our stay at Dominique and Muhammad’s AirBnB was Fantastic! Muhammad is a Great communicator and Very helpful and friendly! When he met us at the building, Muhammad was very kind and gracious! The AirBnB itself is Beautiful, well appointed and Very comfortable! The deck provides a wonderfully peaceful lounging location at the end of the day! This AirBnB is ideally located near Vauxhall for easy access to Tube, Bus, and River transportation. Even still, the AirBnB is on the Thames side of the building and is exceptionally quiet and comfortable! The Tesco on the bottom commercial floor is particularly convenient, and the restaurants there on the Thames are Very enjoyable!! We definitely recommend Muhammad and this AirBnB and look forward to coming back!

Place was loving exactly like the photo staff was very friendly and helpful loved it will be back soon!

Mary's place is in great location with few minutes walk to DLR station. Surroundings looks quiet and peaceful with nice eateries and supermarket within 10 min walk. The heater was not working periodically and it took us few attempts with Mary to resolve the issue. But Mary was very nice and sent someone to check too.

I loved very discreet, very quiet place near the supermarket near the airport, the only bad thing was that we had a problem at check-in time that caused us to arrive later than we had agreed, but everything else was great, I would stay again.

George's appartment was even bigger than expected, well equipped and perfectly clean. The location of the flat and the view over the Thames are fantastic. Geroge is also the perfect host: quick, pleasant communication and always helpful. The apartment is very good value for money and I can recommend it without reservation. Many thanks for everything!

Kappy was an amazing host. Very helpful and hands on with any request I made. I would definitely recommend and stay again. The location was perfect with panoramic views of the o2 arena spanning across east london. The flat was very clean and tidy. Great for business travel or a weekend away in london.

Everything was perfect

We had a fantastic stay, our first Airbnb experience was absolutely wonderful. The views were fantastic, there was lots of space in this lovely apartment and with the weather being stunning the balcony was an added treat! The instructions were clear and, we had everything we could need inside. The beds were comfortable and there was additional bedding and towels if needed. To say we were over the moon would be an understatement. We’d like to sincerely thank Ali for hosting us and, we would book again in a heartbeat, I’m not sure that we’d even look at a hotel again based on this experience! Thank you very much from the 3 generations who came to take mum to the abba voyage show, absolutely made our trip!

We spent two nights and it was great. Very cosy and welcoming. Jessica was very kind and provided the information that we needed. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone who desires a quiet and peaceful environment. This place ticked all the boxes for us. Thanks so much Jessica.

Lovely stay thanks so much place is lovely and lovely bedding all crisp and clean perfect xxx will be back

This was a lovely location and the hosts were very helpful with queries beforehand. It was generally very well equipped although one of the shelves in the oven didn't fit, but this was a minor issue. We really enjoyed our stay and would come again - thank you!

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.

The most beautiful Airbnb ever. Would definitely recommend. Cozy and felt at home. Host was very welcoming and easy to talk to. We took walks at the Thames River in the morning and it was beautiful. Would definitely come again if given another chance.

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.

Lovely accomodation! Although we were only able to stay for a short while, we still had a lovely time. We thoroughly enjoyed the woodland walk (and so did our two chihuahuas). The property was immaculate too. Thank you!

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!
