Great Canfield, Dunmow

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the country, then this converted barn set on a working farm is the perfect choice. Its high ceilings and modern design make it a stylish place to unwind after busy days traversing the local area – whether you're snuggled up by the sleek log burner or preparing a delicious supper using the owners' local produce (supplied for an additional fee), you'll be left entirely undisturbed here.

West Mersea, Essex

It feels like every detail has been considered at this beach village home. Crabbing equipment is provided for days exploring the rockpools of Mersea beach (a five-minute stroll away) and there’s a ping pong table in the summer house, making the perfect secret den for kids.

Kooky Cabin

Kooky Cabin

  • 2 guests

  • 1 bedrooms

Layer de la Haye, Colchester

Hidden away next to ancient woodland in rural Essex, this cabin is a British getaway that overflows with quirk and charm. Inside, classically styled furnishings, such as the tufted Chesterfield, oak dining table and the four-poster bed that's come straight out of a fairytale, rub shoulders with the eclectic animal portraits that dot the wall, the antler chandelier and antique-style gramophone — which actually works in case you're in the mood for a boogie.

The Perfection of Art

  • 2 bedrooms

Stoke-by-Nayland, Colchester

In the heart of Stoke-by-Nayland — one of Suffolk’s prettiest villages — this immaculate cottage has stunning views over Box Valley. You’ll find a delightful mix of traditional and quirky here, with a battered leather chesterfield and a farmhouse table sitting alongside a supersized wall map and exposed bulb lighting.
