Rent Luxury Holiday Cottages in Halstead

The Keeper's Cottage

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Woodbridge, Suffolk

Tucked away in Rendlesham Forest, this quintessentially English cottage is as dreamily secluded as it is beautifully striking. The brick-and-stone facade contrasts with the modern extension.

The Marsh Harrier

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Tollesbury, Maldon

Egrets wade through the waters and hawks soar above at this unique home in the Essex Marshes. At the end of the adjoining field, the Wildlife Nature Reserve begins, where you can spend hours wandering the trails spotting plovers, owls, herons and larks.

Raindrops On Roses

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Hatfield Broad Oak, Bishop's Stortford

There are parts of this home — such as the wooden ceiling beams and thatched roof — where you can see this seven-hundred-year-old cottage's age. There are other features, however, that do their best to hide this big number.
