Apartment in Wivenhoe

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviews

Riverside gem with a nautical past

In the heart of lower Wivenhoe on the quay, our little self-contained cottage was once part of the home of The Colne Marine and Yacht Company. Its thick brick walls and quiet and pretty disposition, defy its former role as a working yard where timber yachts were crafted and repaired, drawn up inside at high tide. Emma and Charlie welcome guests back time after time to relax and enjoy this very special place. We hope you will join them.

Heath Hollow Hideaway Hot Tub Retreat for Two

No ordinary Airbnb , a truly unique escape, oozing with quirk and charm and hidden surprises. Nestled on the edge of ancient woodland, Heath Hollow is an enchanted haven of peace and tranquillity. Each changing hour brings something new, morning bird song, to the evening cries of the woodland creatures. The close proximity of Colchester Zoo, often brings noises of a less indigenous nature, with the roar of a lion often heard at dusk.
