“The most spectacular scenery coupled with a cosy cottage” I read Swallows and Amazons 'Secret Water' before I went and on arrival was not suprised that it inspired a classic book. Just getting onto the island across the wade is a great adventure - either by foot (bring welly boots), boat or a slow drive in the car. What we loved on the island was the isolation, the scenery, birds, private beach and the fact you could get off and visit the local beaches and traditional sea-side life if you craved more hustle and bustle. Best of both worlds. It is amazing that we got there in two hours from London. Normally we'd have to drive a lot further afield to find such a beautiful setting all to ourselves. The cottage is charming and been done up to a high spec with wooden floors and everything you need for self-catering. It was great to relax there in the evening after some hard walking. We made full use of the canoes on offer and saw seals basking on the mudflats. Vicky and Joseph Backhouse could not have been kinder - even lending us welly boots when we stupidly forgot ours. Vicky showed us where we could collect mussels and oysters and we ate like kings on a couple of nights for free! It is a great place to go if you fancy birdwatching, walking, beautiful scenery and just to get away from it all and feel wonderfully refreshed. There is a working farm, so lots of sheep and horses. Great for the kids to go cold turkey from all their gadgets and get back to nature. Great for us to relax. If I was younger and single I could also imagine it being very romantic!

“Beautiful compact cottage in lovely peaceful location” A lovely compact cottage in a beautiful location within close walking distance of the sea wall at Goldhanger. We had a relaxing and peaceful short break, with early morning walks along the sea wall, birdwatching with several Cuckoos seen and heard. With a good pub or two, one within a minute's walk, this is a great place to unwind. The cottage is beautifully presented and has everything you need to be comfortable. Many thanks for a very enjoyable stay, it's the sort of place you can return to at any time of the year - we look forward to coming back!

Essex holidays

A stunning East Anglian county with London to the west and the coast to the east, with a range of points of interest across the gradient from urban sprawl to rural coastline. Book a holiday rental in Essex and see a different side of England every day!

About Essex

This large county is sure to have something for everyone. Whether you're looking for some seaside fun on sunny beaches; to explore the open, green countryside, stopping off in quaint pubs; to foray into outer London; or to explore local historical sites, Essex is a charming place to seek a varied holiday that'll please the whole family.

What to Do

Head into the town of Basildon to see the Glass Bell Tower - the first glass bell tower in the world.

Colchester Zoo has some of the greatest collections of cats and primates in Europe, and is an award-winning attraction to boot!

Top Essex Travel Tips

Essex is a large county, so to make the most of your trip and experience everything, you'd be best off with a car. Whilst public transport is good in the big towns, the more rural areas can be hard to get to this way.

To experience a little bit of everything whilst surrounded by beautiful scenery, book your next holiday rental in Essex.

Bake House by the sea
Comfortable and convenient.

A really nice place, very comfortable with all of the amenities, including a hot tub (which we didn't use on this occasion). Conveniently placed with on-street parking. A few minutes walk from the local sites, beach and local hostelries. We rather enjoyed the roof terrace, especially at the end of the day, very nice. Would most definitely use them again.see more

Holiday accommodation in West Mersea
Excellent - just what we hoped for!

We stayed at Oakleaves on West Mersea Island and loved it. Whilst visiting family in Colchester and Colchester zoo. The accommodation was excellent. The bed was large and extremely comfortable. We only had breakfast there but the kitchen was fully equipped with everything and Sue had even left us some essential supplies that were great. There is a small outside area with table and chairs where we ate our breakfast listening to the birds sing!see more
