Cottage holiday rentals in Chelmsford

Gorgeous cosy cottage - just what we wanted. We stayed here with our 3 year old and 8 month old. The place is just as gorgeous as the photos and immaculately clean and comfortable. Kirran is a fantastic host with lovely little extras. 15 min drive from Diggerland and up the road from a lovely little Zoo. The hot tub was fab - would definitely recommend.

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

The White Cottage is a truly magical experience, and combined with Sally’s as the perfect host, we came away from our short break with memories that will last a lifetime. The location is breathtakingly peaceful. A garden within a garden set in landscape where time has good still. The stream that runs through garden is a playground for wildlife and you’ll be sharing your breakfast with ducks and moorhens. If you want a break oozing peace and quiet, a chance to unwind, and forget the day to day life the white cottage has it spades. Sally is a delightful host. Nothing is too much trouble. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. We loved it

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

We had the most peaceful and relaxing Christmas at this property. The grounds are beautiful to explore and the hot tub made it that little bit extra special. Great hosts, with clear instructions and local recommendations too. We will be back!

A fabulous, well equipped home with a great view and visiting wildlife - pheasants, hares and swallows. Easy walking distance to Suffolk Barn for our family wedding and short drive to Bury St Edmunds. Very comfortable beds, fluffy towels and calming colour scheme. Extremely well equipped kitchen and generous welcome provisions made it easy to feel straight at home. We would love to come back to explore the local area and spend more time taking in the view and relaxing in the tub. Thank you to our hosts who were so accommodating and welcoming.

Rowland's place is a beautiful charming cottage right on the coast of West Mersea. The setting is stunning and he is an amazing friendly and communicative host. The location is right next to a pub which serves great food and lovely atmosphere. Other local amenities are also a short walk away. We (2 adults and two kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Me and my friends stayed for a long weekend. The house is beautifully furnished. Every bedroom is as nice as the next. Fishing was on our itinerary, and didn’t disappoint. The lake was very much private and the boats were a worthwhile addition. I (we) couldn’t recommend higher.

Kate’s cottage was lovely, very spacious and was perfect for what we needed, would definitely stay again, Kate was a perfect host, responded to messages promptly and was very friendly and helpful, thanks again for all your help

Really loved our stay in Wivenhoe, this was a return visit as we’d had such a lovely experience with this AirBnB before. Beautiful accommodation, so close to everything. Had lovely walks with the dog, visited fab places to eat. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Clock Cottage. The cottage had everything we wanted for a relaxing holiday. It was clean, well equipped, had comfortable beds and in a beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our dog walks which were on the doorstep. We also found it a great location for visiting all around the Cambridge area. David was a great host too.

Really comfy and generously provided house with lovely bed and sunny back garden. Excellent location with walks straight from the door and plenty of options for eating out or in. I recommend the The River Glem Circular Walk , straight from the door, for those that like a day wandering around the quiet corners of Suffolk countryside.

We had a short but very pleasant break at Buttercup Cottage. The bed is super comfy and the house has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The stairs are pretty steep but there are very well placed handles and motion sensor night lights, so that you don't take a tumble in the night on the way to the loo. Very considerate. A lovely characterful property.

We only came across Lily’s place a few days before we travelled after being let down by a late cancellation elsewhere, but ended up feeling like we had ended up with somewhere even better than where we had originally booked. Lily was extremely helpful with great communication throughout. She offered us early check in and didn’t rush us to check out either. The cottage itself was ideal for us and our children - comfy beds, plenty of space, everything cleaned and finished to a high standard. We were touched by all the additional extras - milk in the fridge on arrival, pain au chocolats for breakfast, good coffee and hot chocolate available and grateful for the use of a highchair so we didn’t need to bring our own. Our children slept brilliantly (better than they do at home) which enabled us to enjoy an excellent and very reasonable takeaway from the Greek restaurant next door. We had no issues or complaints at all and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Reading Rooms. Fabulous accommodation and a lovely restored cottage with many original features. The location was brilliant for walking to the local shops, pub and recreation ground. We also drive into Cambridge both days which only took 25 minutes. We will definitely try to stay again and visit gorgeous Linton!

My husband and I stayed here with our almost 2 year old daughter and we felt immediately welcomed and at home here. We received clear instructions from Dave prior to our arrival so everything went smoothly as soon as we arrived. Our daughter was well catered for and we always felt she was very safe! A lovely space and the swimming pool and garden with the fish pond is a huge added bonus! A perfect location for trips to the sea side as well as Wildwood.

A great place to stay. Very easy check in. Lovely location. Charlie was very helpful when we had a booking query…very friendly and supportive. Have already booked to return 👍😊 and very much looking forward to staying there again in November 😊

Great hosts, very friendly. Very pretty location, we were able to walk in the large garden and enjoy the views. Cottage was very well equipped, fresh milk, bread and eggs left for us, even supplied tea, coffee and cooking condiments. Soaps and washing powder also supplied. Very comfortable beds, all towels supplied. The only let down was the wifi connection which kept dropping even after resetting the router numerous times. Was also not always able to use 4G as the property was quite remote. Otherwise was lovely, highly recommend their property.

Really lovely stay very spacious for 4 people. Amanda was very helpful and quick to respond, would be happy to stay again. Thank You

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.

The Old Tuck Shop is the loveliest place we have stayed. Beautifully furnished with bags of character, and everything you need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The location is perfect. A great pub nearby and a short walk into Rochester centre. Katie was the ideal host - helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommended! I really hope we can make another visit soon.

Lovely little house. Duncan made it very welcoming and even left some things out for the dog. We had a lovely 3 night stay and were very comfortable. Thank you

Location is terrific. Henry is a very responsive host. Check-in was easy. The staircase is a little challenging as is stated in the description. The hot water in the shower great and plenty of water pressure. All in all, a lovely place to stay and the location unbeatable.

We had a great stay at Lychgate House, it felt like a real home from home. Everything was good and as described and shown in the photos. On top of that the bed was very comfy and it was so quiet at night. Lovely to hear the church bells in the daytime. Marie was a great host, very friendly and helpful.
