Holiday rentals with lake access in West Suffolk District

Stunning location, responsive host, great set up for our family getaway

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

I didn’t stay there myself, I booked the place for my co-workers coming over from London , but they said the place was very nice!

WHAT A PLACE! Stunning location and being on the water was amazing. The property was very well equipped and deceptively big. Having a bbq by the water made it really feel like we were on holiday (despite the typical British weather). We know Isleham well and it’s a great location to access lots of things going on and the village pubs have amazing food. We’ll definitely be repeat customers of this place and look forward to doing some more fishing, paddle boarding/kayaking and bbq’s when we come back 🥳

A very well appointed house within easy walk of railway station and city centre. Hosts very good at communicating and always responsive to queries. The house was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for a short stay in Ely.

We had a wonderful time at the Reading Room. The fully enclosed garden was brilliant for our dog! Her tail did not stop wagging! It was a bit like having your very own freedom field for use whenever you wanted. It was a very hot week so unfortunately we didn’t get as much use out of it as we would have hoped. The Reading Room had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. Cressida had thought ahead and put a fan in for us given the weather we were very grateful. The location of the property was nice with plenty of walks down the River Ouse and walking distance into Wiggenhall St Germans. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do many of the walks because of the heat but would love to come back sometime and try them out. Would highly recommend this property to people that like to holiday with their dogs. Cressida was a brilliant host and very quick to respond to messages.

Beautiful, comfortable furnishings and a perfect location to enjoy a day at Sandringham. We appreciated the treats left for our arrival and the lovely garden to enjoy during our stay. Our first visit to Norfolk was enhanced by Mandy’s delightful accommodations! Tim and Dawn - Pennsylvania, USA

We had a great stay! Check-in was simple & the house was easy to find. We had two cars and found there to be plenty of parking on nearby roads. Perfect location to hop on the park & ride and get about Cambridge easily, and the addition of a house cat was just a delight. Thanks!

Great cosy place to stay. Walking distance from town centre and local transport routes. The flat was fully stocked with bottled water, coffee, milk & biscuits which we really appreciated. Will definitely stay again next time we are in the area. PS Would definitely recommend the rainbow cafe for breakfast down the road also!

An excellent accommodation. Hayley offers a wonderful place to stay, I booked the apartment for my mum & aunty and they really enjoyed their time here. Very homely place with everything you need plus more. Fabulous bath, comfortable furniture, and fantastic location close to the train station. Hayley is a great responsive host too, thank you so much!

We booked as a business and Joshua was the first host to really work with us. He helped us during an emergency situation of having to decant our customers and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Everything was spot on and as advertised and really good value for money. Great communication from Carly

This apartment is the best rental we have ever stayed in It’s beautiful the photos dont do it justice, spotlessly clean throughout. Easy instructions to find property and get inside. Beds were so comfortable, linens and towels gorgeous. The bathroom is stunning. If you are considering this property know you will love it , if we are back in the area THIS is where we will be staying. Thank you Heidi

We normally stay in central Cambridge and Sarah’s place was a nice change and a great opportunity to discover a new area. The place is exactly as described; we enjoyed the 30 minute walk into town along the river and it was lovely to be able to walk along the tow path in the other direction too.

First time visiting Colchester and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! Home from home and the location was absolutely perfect, literally right next to the castle park and less than a 5 minute walk to the castle and high street. Peaceful and super clean. Reilly was the perfect host. Friendly, responsive and helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed to dine in. Bed was comfy and linen was clean. The bathroom was also spotless! Thank you for having us and we will definitely be returning. 5 star 🌟 stay x

Very nice stay. I was there for a week for a work and everything that you could require was already there. Nice and cosy to make you feel right at home. Would definitely stay again

The Acorn was a wonderful place to stay. Wildlife nearby with many lovely nature walks. But shops were also nearly which was convenient. The Acorn is a fabulous little cottage with all that you need - Lionel and Helen were the best hosts always attentive. After leaving I forgot the firestick remote and they sent it back the next day! We will definitely come again.

lovely quirky wee house and garden, could easily live there! I had a small query and got a really quick response. house beautifully clean - coming who manages a business looking after holiday houses. great local walks - will definitely recommend. thanks so much

We hired the cart lodge for our wedding locally and we really enjoyed the space, it was perfect. Angela was very accommodating. The location is very pretty and peaceful. we would highly recommend.

Great place & host! Looked like the pictures & was near a lake. Nice forest walks close by to. Was a short drive to the beach, overall a nice play to stay!

We were looking for beautiful surroundings and peaceful location and we weren't disappointed. We could not ask for more. The cottage was spotless and Charlie was very helpful when needed. I do recommend the place with no hesitation.

Drovers Cottage was a charming place to stay. It was spacious and well equipped for the 3 of us plus our elderly labrador dog. It was spotlessly clean and had comfortable beds. The garden area was secure and private, and the walks around the property were beautiful. The only downside of our holiday was the weather, but that's certainly not in anyone's control!!

A real super-host if ever there was one. This property is gorgeous and set within both public and private walks through woodland, farmland and along streams. The perfect place for a dog to run around and one of the best spots to capture local wildlife. We saw a river otter, a barn owl and ate lunch in the garden while watching ducklings learn to take off from the water. At night, we were warm in front of the lovely fire or amazed at the lovely stars viewable with so little light pollution. Would definitely stay again.

We’ve stayed in lots of AirBnBs but Rose Cottage has got to be the best! It's a newly refurbished cottage and we were lucky to be the first to stay in it since it's reopening. Absolutely pristine, wonderfully put together decor and lots of thoughtful touches that made it really special - including a very lovely welcome hamper and beautiful organic toiletries to use. The whole place smelt divine! Beautiful private garden as well as huge grounds to roam around in, including an amazing swimming pond - we dived straight in on a scorching day. Pauline and Mat were was the loveliest of hosts and really made our time there feel very relaxed. They were on hand if you needed them but unobtrusive if you want to be left to enjoy the tranquility of the place. Very easy to get to the coast to explore but you may not want to leave the cottage! We all absolutely loved it and will be back.
