Family-friendly holiday rentals in Saffron Walden

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside and the grounds were even better. I booked this for my mum 60th birthday and we all had an incredible time. All rooms were beautiful with a lovely kitchen too, even better the welcome pack they leave you. The wrap around veranda was the highlight for us, we spent most of the days on that with the hot tub, we were lucky enough to have good weather so we could really make the most of it. The fishing lake was lovely my partner fished and enjoyed it. The owner was always happy to answer any questions whenever I needed them. Thankyou so much.

lovely accommodation great communication with host :)

Beautiful gardens quaint cottage. Annex rustic and serviceable. Different pictures on line. Courtyard looked very different as did the funiture in the front room. The bathroom needs updating bit too rustic for me but thats my opinion. Very comfortable and outside is outstanding.

Andy was a fantastic host and gave clear instructions on getting to the location and how to get in. The replies were also quick when I had questions to ask on the day and thankfully Andy was there to respond quickly. The house was in good condition and was clean and tidy ready for mine and my partner’s arrival. I and my partner had a lovely time and was a well needed break, there were also plenty of animals around the location which made it even better for us to watch them. Would recommend to anyone needing a little peaceful getaway for those who also love nature.

Wow! This house was amazing for our group of 18. We fit so comfortably - there were even a couple of rooms we didn't need! The grounds are beautiful and spacious, and the common areas were absolutely perfect for our large gatherings (which is where we spent most of our time!). The hot tub was a massive hit, and we have to mention the Raj Indian Ocean restaurant just five minutes away – the food was incredible. This was truly one of the best weekends ever, and the house and its fantastic spaces were key to that!

Had a fantastic weekend here celebrating for a hen weekend! The place was perfect to accommodate a large group, big enough for communal socialising but also enough private spaces. Cathy was fantastic at communicating and was happy to provide extras where needed. Brilliant location, stunning views and easy to get to Cambridge centre! Would definitely stay here again.

Great accommodation good communications with host

Booked a long weekend away with my husband and two girls and had a wonderful time! I would 100% recommend Wakes Hall Lodges; the location is so peaceful (you wouldn’t even realise there are other lodges nearby!) lovely views as well. Check in was so easy and the lodge was spotless on arrival. The hot tub is a great feature and was so nice to relax in. Really spacious inside and comfy beds. I would recommend eating at the nearby Swan pub- food was great! Will definitely be looking to book again!

The Olde Forge was a great find. The accommodation is perfect for a couple and a dog. The place is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom has hanging space for clothes and plenty of room. The vaulted ceiling is impressive. The bathroom has a great shower with plenty of hot water and good power. The Faith in Nature products were a bonus. We particularly liked the fact that Marianne thinks about the environment and organic/biodegradable products are used. The area is very beautiful and picturesque. We cooked a breakfast but ate out the rest of the time with plenty of local eateries available and all were very good.

Excellent stay in a luxurious house with all the amenities that you could want. Beautifully decorated and very spacious. Recommended

A great secret cottage! Smack bang in the middle of a lovely village high street, with a nice pub and an impressive looking Indian restaurant, plus cafes and a few other shops.

Cozy cottage in perfect place. Amazing village with so much to see and easy to navigate. Home away from home! Perfect amenities! Easy to find and easy parking! Love this pick and stay! Would stay again for sure!

A lovely cabin in a beautiful setting with chickens and ducks all around. We loved playing cricket and the kids had a great time in the woods. The cabin itself was lovely - spacious and had everything you needed. The fresh bread and eggs was a lovely touch too. We struggled a little bit with streaming videos with the Wi-Fi - but otherwise a fabulous place. I’d recommend dinner at the Bell Inn down the road - dog friendly and lovely homemade food!

A wonderful stay at Marc’s place in Grafham. It’s a great location with local amenities and lovely places to walk. The lodge is surrounded by trees and really peaceful. We hope to return!

All good; apart from us forgetting about the ‘hidden ‘ drawer’ which houses the cutlery! Might be worth putting an indicator to this for idiots like me who had completely forgotten about it despite having been there before.

What a lovely place this was - great location for us and so peaceful. Denzil & Nicky were so helpful and very responsive on the chat when we changed our arrival time. Also gave great local recommendations. The barn was just lovely with everything we needed for our stay. Being able to use the grass outside for a little family picnic was wonderful. Thanks Denzil and Nicky, we aim to return soon!

Polly was an amazing host. Very welcoming and considerate. The only downside was that there is no air conditioning. Which would not normally be an issue in this part of England except for our stay there was a heatwave. Polly did provide a fan on request. On the upside the pool was incredibly uncomfortable and useful. The property is exceptional and we look forward to staying again.

We were greeted well upon arrival. They showed and explained everything. We were also lucky to see beautiful peacocks on the territory. The house corresponds to the description and photos. There is a good sauna, a large pool and there is a passage from a small goubina to a large one. The jacuzzi is also large. Everything is clean and neat, we liked it, the child is delighted, we will definitely come again.🙃

Lovely place with great facilities and Wendy was so nice and welcoming.

Lovely home, felt very comfortable there- we had 4 children between 4 adults, and it felt like a lived in house- therefore we were not panicked about the children just being children!! The pool was a lovely temperature and our children enjoyed it thoroughly. House nice and warm, kitchen and lounge area which overlooks the swimming pool were a real hub of the home- a very nice space. All in all a great find for when we need to be in Hertfordshire! We would stay again.

This house was the highlight of our trip! Lucy was the best host and we loved the environment: the beautiful garden full of flowers, the welcoming swimming pool, and the comfy accommodation. All quiet and relaxing!
