Kid-friendly holiday rentals in River Stour

I had a lovely stay and enjoyed some beautiful walks. It was really handy having such a range of breakfast items. There was milk, choice of 2 cereals, bread, butter, jam and yogurts! Bed was very comfy and the studio was very clean. Wifi was excellent which was helpful as I'd taken some work to get done in the evenings. Would recommend to my friends.

Both the cottage and location provided us with a tranquil, enchanting time out. We liked all the individual features at Pats Place, colour schemes, art works, plus the appliances were relatively easy to use for non tech people like us. Long Melford itself is a delight, and to be away from the main road a big plus. Five stars.

What a beautiful place to stay. The cottage is immaculate and the surroundings amazing - we loved watching pheasants and hares in the field outside the sitting room and bedroom windows. As we have dogs it was super to have a safe enclosed garden and then to be able to open the gate straight onto the footpath - we enjoyed several local walks from the doorstep. We were staying to host a birthday lunch for my mother and sister, and it was such a bonus to have a well equipped kitchen and excellent dining/social space. Plus the bed was very comfy and showers were hot! A great place to stay - we hope to stay again when we next visit family nearby

Really great stay here. Couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. They have thought of everything. Particularly for my son: knives etc. put out of reach, toiletries provided including baby safe products, booster chair provided as well as toys, books and access to the garden to play in. Really personable and made sure we had everything we needed but also flexible and left us to it for the rest of the weekend. Exactly what we needed.

Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

An absolutely stunning property which we were very lucky to stay at. Will def be rebooking

Wow! An absolutely delightful stay, lovely accommodation an extensive garden, paddock/orchard to wonder through Constable country and interesting walks all within a few miles Thankyou David and Jo for such a lovely holiday Cliff and Sara

Lovely little cottage, perfect for two adults, and would manage if there were also two children staying who would probably love their bunk beds. Soft double bed and everything well laid out. A reminder that there’s no shower (and the roll top bath is a bit small) or microwave. Very pleased with the location looking out onto the green, and parking very easy opposite. Melford Hall, Kentwell and the amazing Church are minutes walk. Thirteen minutes walk into Long Melford. Co-op is open till 10pm. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay with our dog who enjoyed the spacious garden. Mary Beth was very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

Fantastic stay in a very homely flat. Would certainly return. Great location. Parking on site makes travelling too and from very easy. Really well equipped flat also. Thanks Peter and Zonja

For someone who had to go to university daily and also wanted a beer by the river with colleagues in the evening and go to London on weekend this place is perfect as it’s 20 mins to uni and 20mins to train station. The place has very rational space, good kitchen and spacious living room and bedroom, ready to be lived in for the two weeks I stayed! Definitely would stay again!

Our stay at Layer Marney Tower was way above what we had hoped for. Nicholas and his wife were most welcoming and had reserved our parking place outside our apartment. The apartment was beautiful and well set up. Fresh produce was provided as listed, and complete sets of towels and flannels and bath toiletries. My partner was invited to play the organ in the church twice, once when no public were around, and again after the church service this morning. I would thoroughly recommend staying. The peace and calm and beautiful gardens are balm to the soul and the four poster bed was great fun. We went to see an opera, but we will be going again. Thank you Nicholas for such a magical stay.

Jo was a superb host! Very helpful with recommendations and instructions to get into the place. She went above and beyond as well. When my friend left her rings behind, Jo helped us to look for it and arranged to have them returned to my friend. Her place also has a great location and is near to both the Colchester Town station as well good food options nearby. We really enjoyed our stay here and will hope to return next time!

Lovely flat. Spotlessly clean, walking distance to the town centre and has parking! Cindy left clear instructions for everything and even had folders of local things to do and takeaway menus. Would highly recommend.

Lovely self contained room with its own shower room/toilet. Teresa met us when we arrived and ran through everything we needed to know. There was everything we needed for the night and Teresa was helpful with the breakfast and drinks she supplied as we were leaving early. The room was in the perfect place for us, 2 minutes from our event the next day and 20 minutes drive to Felixtowe beach (where we went for a few hours) Would happily have stayed more nights and wouldn't hesitate to rebook if we were heading down that way again.

Thank you so much and for help with the parking

A stunning apartment, very comfortable, has everything you could possibly need and more. It perfectly placed to explore the town. I would highly recommend it. Mark is an excellent host. A very smooth experience altogether. Thank you Mark. 😊

A perfect place to stay in Bury St Edmunds. So handy to walk around the town and see the shops and the Abbey. The interior has a great theme with its colours and fittings. Super comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. Sean even provided for our parking needs.

Another fabulous visit. This is truly a wonderful place to stay. Thank you, we hope to be back again next year.

I stayed here whilst working away for work and had the perfect stay. Nita's place has everything you need and is ideally located for access to Chelmsford. I'd definitely recommend!

Great place in prime location on the seafront . Place was bigger than expected and had everything you could need and more for a week’s stay . Really clean and tidy . Plenty of treats left for us and the dogs . Overall really happy with apartment and location . Will definitely stay again .

I had a very comfortable stay here, with everything I needed. Ann and John were very welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home. It is ideally placed for getting to both Cambridge and lovely countryside. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The apartment is as described with convenient parking in a quiet location. Within walking distance to a local restaurant and Co-op plus fish and chip shop. Ideal for a short stay in Woodbridge and to visit the nearby attractions by car. We had a very enjoyable stay here having been greeted by the hosts on arrival.

Just about perfect for what we wanted - a night stay in the Wivenhoe area. The studio has everything you might need and the thoughtful supply of a breakfast cereal and milk was so helpful. Only saw Siri briefly, but enough to see she was friendly and would be there if we needed anything. The immediate area is nothing special, but it is quiet, the town is lovely and local attractions (we went to Beth Chatto's Garden and to Brightlngsea) are very accessible. The studio is easy to find with Siri's clear directions. Excellent all-round and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
