Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Harwich

Our group of six—two adults, one young adult, and three teenagers—had a very comfortable stay at Lesley’s lovely home. It, indeed, felt very much like a home and not just a rental property. There was ample space for all of us, and it was great to have three toilets and two showers. The location is superb—a short walk to coffee, restaurants, and the riverfront, which we enjoyed strolling along in the evening. A great place for a larger group to stay in Wivenhoe!

We stayed for a long weekend and had a lovely stay. the house was a beautiful country cottage and very comfortable. We also had the perfect weather for it. It was wonderful to watch the rabbits and deer as they travelled through and round the garden morning and evening.

Jo’s place was as exactly as we chose. A very private place full of tranquility both inside and outside . The natural garden was a joy to just sit and enjoy the wild life and alfresco dining. We were blessed with good weather which made sitting and eating outside mist enjoyable. The garden was a haven for our two dogs to explore safely.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy English cottage! From the moment we arrived, Sarah made us feel so welcome. She truly went above and beyond—every little extra she left in the home made our stay feel special and thoughtful. The cottage itself was spotless and beautifully maintained, filled with authentic British charm that made it peaceful and relaxing throughout our stay. It had everything we needed and more—every amenity was thoughtfully provided. The location couldn’t have been more perfect: just a short walk to the main area of town and right across the street from the railroad station, which made getting around so convenient. This was the perfect countryside escape, and we’re so grateful for Sarah’s hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

Ideal for a short break. The house was clean and very well equipped . Walkable to the village pubs, village store and Orford quay. Perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.

We had a relaxing stay in Julie's cottage, which had everything we needed and a bonus of two bathrooms. The kids enjoyed the toys and the garden. It is really peaceful at night and nearby to the harbour and town so we could walk everywhere and visit the local restaurants and pubs, which were great. Nice lido and playground for children and we recommend taking the harbour ferry to East Mersea. A lovely stay, thankyou.

This is a lovely quaint old cottage in peaceful surroundings. Very dog-friendly garden, the cottage was very clean, and surrounded by countryside walks.

We had the loveliest stay at Yems place, it was the perfect spot for my Mums 70th birthday and accommodated us all well, including children. The house itself was spotless and we felt right at home- we wish we could have stayed longer! There were plenty of places to visit locally which we enjoyed and we were blessed with the weather. Yem was really responsive to any messages and we were able to secure an early check in which was much appreciated after a reasonably long drive. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely love to visit again. We also wanted to find out if Yem has other properties too? Thanks again Yem, the house is beautiful and just what we all wanted and needed ☺️

Lovely little village to stay in and perfect location. Photos of the flat don’t do it justice - it was much larger than we expected. Overall responsive and helpful host and nice little apartment

We had a wonderful stay. The flat is really close to the beach and looks even better in reality than the pictures. And Barbara is a fabulous host- very responsive, and she was really helpful about a couple of matters.

Had a wonderful stay at this lovely flat. Exceptionally clean with the kitchen fitted out with everything that you would need for a self catering holiday if so desired. I slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable and my mother had the double bed in the lovely large bedroom (the pictures do not do it justice). The flat is within two minutes walk to the beach and small town which has a nice selection of small restaurants and pubs (East Coast 5 was a favourite). Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely spacious and comfortable property with great views of the river and Sutton Hoo. We really enjoyed the river walks and proximity to Woodbridge.

Lovely hut in a lovely spot. Perfect for a weekend away. The hut was exactly as described and there were a few extra nice touches the hosts provided. Use of a pair of bicycles was great and we enjoyed exploring the area. We would greatly recommend this place and we hope to return at some point in the future.

Lovely cosy flat with everything you needed with lovely surroundings. Julia was a great very friendly host very helpful. Really enjoyed our stay would recommend her flat as a great place to stay.

Cannot fault these lodges or michelle as a host. Everything was perfect, clean, comfortable and the lodges definitely have that added feel of luxury. Will 100% be returning. Thank you apple tree lodges for a perfect break. Beautiful lodges in a beautiful location.

We really enjoyed our stay at Robert and Lorraine's house. The flat is right opposite the beach which is amazing. The flat was very clean. Beds were comfortable. There were plenty of clean towels which was very handy. overall a very positive experience.

Had an absolutely gorgeous stay for my friends hen do celebrations. Being greeted on arrival with a stunning view of the chapel-esque part of the building with the flowers all in bloom. Then you walk down the side path that makes you feel like you're walking into the secret garden or the herbology classes at Hogwarts, simply unbelievable. Sophie was a great host, very friendly, understanding and helpful. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. Towels and extremely comfortable beds/bedding provided. Lots of essentials in the pantry. It was absolutely perfect, everyone was in awe and it made for a very memorable weekend. The weather wasn't on our side so we didn't get to use the outside space, but with such a gorgeous interior it didn't matter at all. The cleaner Heidi was also wonderful on check out. It's not cheap (May half term weekend didn't help) but it's not a cheap environment and we'd pay it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! Thank you Sophie and Heidi!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were in Suffolk for a 3 day wedding as an extended family group and the house was the perfect base. The house is very comfortable- especially the beds - and everything has been thought of. It is also very very clean. The courtyard is beautiful. We would thoroughly recommend!

We had a lovely stay in West Mersea this weekend. The airbnb is in a perfect location, with a short walk down to the beach. The property is beautiful and spacious and the projector is incredible! Tony and Mas were wonderful hosts and were easily contactable throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

Fabulous house in a beautiful area. House was incredibly well equipped and everything was a really high quality. Loads of essentials in the fridges and high end toiletries in all bathrooms. Cant recommend Jacqui enough as a wonderful host. And really dog friendly.
