Cottage holiday rentals in Saffron Walden

Loved our stay at Langetot! Everything was clean & tidy and as expected. Great location with nature all around. The hot tub was a great optional add-on & I enjoyed mornings in there reading & listening to the birds. Just a heads up for those coming from North America - the beds in the UK are quite a bit smaller & shower pressure is lower. We expected this but some might not.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing little cottage set on a working farm. The views across the fields were absolutely stunning—truly a breath of fresh air. It was the ideal place to unwind and disconnect. Mary and her team were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered us a later checkout, which was such a kind gesture (though we sadly had to decline as we were eager to get home to see our son). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing after a peaceful day. And the complimentary bottle of wine, A lovely touch—it went down very well! The nearby village of East Harling is just a 30-minute walk away and has everything you need for a quiet retreat—whether it’s grabbing some basic groceries or enjoying a drink at one of the friendly local pubs. It’s great not having to rely on the car at all. We would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. We’ll definitely be back.

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.

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.

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

Highly recommend for a peaceful break. Watching the stars in the hot tub with an owl flying over was particularly magical.

Beautiful area and nice little cottage, no complaints to be had.

What a beautiful little cottage, it was close to town easy to walk everywhere locally. Lots of space for 3 of us a lovely box of biscuits left by host which was a lovely surprise. Chloe was very responsive if we messaged her, a great host.

We loved this place. Plenty of room, lovely garden and patio area. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen well kitted out. Great location for exploring the local area. We appreciated the lovely welcome pack. Thanks for a great stay.

This was our second time in Lavenham and our second stay at Esther’s. The house is easy to find (parking outside the front door if available) and get access to. The house is clean, well furnished and had most, if not all of everything extra we wanted. Over the weekend that included a BBQ, fan, clothes horse and some biscuits! Esther is very responsive and accommodating, a great host.

we stayed at the Secret Cottage and Carter's Yard. Both were very comfortable, well equipped and suited our needs. Great to be able to find somewhere in Kimbolton.

Beautiful little cottage on a lovely farm with great walks for my dog. Peace and quiet in spades. Can't wait to go back.

A very enjoyable stay indeed. The accommodation provided everything we needed and our host was always responsive. The bed linen was soft and the beds very comfortable indeed. We should be happy to recommend Constable Court to future guests.

My third stay in this beautiful barn and once again everything was perfect. The large totally secure garden space is such a bonus for the dogs. Jonathan always communicates promptly and is very helpful. I saw a little owl in the garden this time which was the icing on the cake. I totally recommend this peaceful place surrounded by glorious farmland.

Thank you so much for giving Sandra and me the experience of staying at 'Chisolms', your beautiful cottage attached to your family home; located in magnificent grounds. The guest book comments are testament to how much the previous guests enjoyed their stay.

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.

Perfect place for our family of 4 when visiting friends locally. No 77 was fully equipped with everything we needed. Tea coffee milk in the fridge all provided and COOP near by for a loaf of bread. Parking not a problem at all. We would love to return.

Loved our stay here The Granary was well equipped with attention to detail being very evident, we felt instantly comfortable and at home there. It was incredibly peaceful with amazing views and lovely places to walk and enjoy the surroundings. We found a fabulous restaurant with excellent service and very tasty food. A truly perfect place to spend a couple of days, a big thank you to Rebecca and Joe for allowing us to stay there

This is an exceptional place to stay. Sarah and Marina are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They provide everything you might need and more. We would certainly recommend this airbnb and hope to come back. Thank you.

I had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect: close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. I especially appreciated the little thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel extra welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The Annex is lovely, quirky, spacious and comfortable. The garden was great for the dogs too and we were all made to feel very welcome. We will revisit soon, thanks for being such great hosts. :0)

We love The Orchard cottage, this was our second stay. The hosts are so friendly and helpful, it’s an absolute pleasure to stay here. We love everything about it, it was particularly beautiful this time with lovely weather. We enjoyed relaxing in The Orchard, cooling off at the pool and wandering around the gardens and estate.

Debs and Lucy are great hosts and we really enjoyed our stay at Drake Cottage. Set in a lovely quiet part of Saffron Walden but within walking distance to the the town which is full of great shops and amenities. The cottage is fully equipped with everything to make it the perfect stay. I thought the bathrobes were a nice touch. We will definitely be making a return visit.
