Cottage vacation rentals in Saffron Walden

Loved our stay at Langetot! Everything was clean & tidy and as expected. Great location with nature all around. The hot tub was a great optional add-on & I enjoyed mornings in there reading & listening to the birds. Just a heads up for those coming from North America - the beds in the UK are quite a bit smaller & shower pressure is lower. We expected this but some might not.

Thank you Mary for letting us stay at your cottage, we had a great time and couldn't recommend it enough to anyone looking to have a peaceful getaway! The hot tub was immaculate and we also enjoyed the swimming pool. The cottage was tidy and comfy, and the location is great - close to some really nice walks and villages. Hope we get the chance to come back!

The White Cottage is a truly magical experience, and combined with Sally’s as the perfect host, we came away from our short break with memories that will last a lifetime. The location is breathtakingly peaceful. A garden within a garden set in landscape where time has good still. The stream that runs through garden is a playground for wildlife and you’ll be sharing your breakfast with ducks and moorhens. If you want a break oozing peace and quiet, a chance to unwind, and forget the day to day life the white cottage has it spades. Sally is a delightful host. Nothing is too much trouble. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. We loved it

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. A very relaxing cottage with lots of things to do around. Perfect for a relaxing weekend where you don’t need to leave the place. The cottage was beautiful and incredibly clean. We will definitely return.

I booked Swallows Roost for the night before my wedding and the evening of. The accommodation was amazing. It was perfect for me, my bridal party and suppliers to get ready and feel relaxed and at home. Lucy and her family were so accommodating. Everything was stress free and easy. The downloadable guide was amazing, everything was covered, even the things I hadn’t considered including where the local EV chargers were. We can’t wait to book to stay again to spend our wedding anniversary next year! We would recommend Swallows Roost to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay in sunny Suffolk.

Outstanding hosts. We were super happy to stay with them for a second time! The welcome basket was a really thoughtful gesture and the extra touches like robes and slippers were very helpful.

we have stayed at the cottage before and it never fails .When we stepped in it felt like coming home !!!! . the secure parking and lovely garden are such a bonus,as is the hot tub. lovely pub next door with great food .Rowland gives clear instructions about access and the keyless entry makes coming and going so easy,no worries about who has the key !!! if you are looking for cozy and quirky this is the place.

The Little Owl is our favourite Air B&B find so far. The property was absolutely beautiful and unique. The garden area was stunning, not to mention the incredible views! Hayley was a lovely host, thank you for having us!

What a beautiful little cottage, it was close to town easy to walk everywhere locally. Lots of space for 3 of us a lovely box of biscuits left by host which was a lovely surprise. Chloe was very responsive if we messaged her, a great host.

We spent most of our time hiking, but had a few quality hours enjoying a nice relaxing evening afterwards. the house suited us perfectly. we would happily recommend. we couldn't locate the cutlery in the recess draw, but not a big deal

Lovely cottage, bang in the middle of town, lotsa local walks and nice delis/pubs/shops. Downsides? None. We’ll be back.

What a lovely cottage everything we needed for our stay. Everywhere was spotless. Nice garden area that our Westie Ted liked to sit in watching the rabbits. Great dog walks from the front door, lots of birds and wildlife. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for giving Sandra and me the experience of staying at 'Chisolms', your beautiful cottage attached to your family home; located in magnificent grounds. The guest book comments are testament to how much the previous guests enjoyed their stay.

First of all, and this is not a negative in any shape or form, if you're 5'11" or taller (I am), and are a bear of little brain (I am), take a padded hat. Befitting of a property of this age, the ceilings and doorways in some areas are a little low. My wife had no issues at all. Its a beautiful property in a ridiculously good location - with a parking space - whats not to like. The world famous Company Shed is minutes away and there is a very good pizza place just round the corner as well. The house itself has a lovely multi-level feel and there is plenty of space for up to 5 adults I would suggest, with one bedroom on the ground floor for those not liking stairs. Unusual for a cottage of this age. The garden is superb, totally secure - our two small dogs loved it and wouldn't come inside - two seating areas, a BBQ and a lovely summerhouse for quiet contemplation or a place to be sent to if naughty.

We have been using Airbnb for many years and this is definitely the best experience of being hosted we have had for YEARS. Carter's Yard embodies the spirit of what staying in a b&b in England really means - with the privacy of enjoying the property to yourselves. We felt hosted! Butter and milk in the kitchen. Plenty of cleaning items and dishwasher tablets. A welcome basket of breakfast items. Beautiful linen on the extremely comfortable beds. A lovely lounge with supplies for the log burner. Flannels and plenty of towels in the bathroom... Everything was so intentional and thought through. We would love to stay here again, it is so peaceful, so clean and so very welcoming. 11/10 for the cottage and 12/10 to Rebecca and her immaculate hostess vibes. Worth every - extremely reasonable - penny!!

A wonderful stay at Marc’s place in Grafham. It’s a great location with local amenities and lovely places to walk. The lodge is surrounded by trees and really peaceful. We hope to return!

Great hosts, very friendly. Very pretty location, we were able to walk in the large garden and enjoy the views. Cottage was very well equipped, fresh milk, bread and eggs left for us, even supplied tea, coffee and cooking condiments. Soaps and washing powder also supplied. Very comfortable beds, all towels supplied. The only let down was the wifi connection which kept dropping even after resetting the router numerous times. Was also not always able to use 4G as the property was quite remote. Otherwise was lovely, highly recommend their property.

We couldn't have been happier with this lovely spotlessly clean cottage. Jayne was a very responsive host and the cottage felt like home from the moment we arrived. It was ideal for us to explore the local area. Lavenham is such a special place. Lots of excellent places to eat and go for coffee and cake. The church is spectacular and so are all the buildings. The Guild Hall is well worth a visit. We would recommend this cottage to future guests as an ideal base to explore the stunning area.

Set in beautiful surroundings, the cottage was well placed for walks and bike rides. I think we shall be returning at some point

I had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect: close to everything but still peaceful and quiet at night. I especially appreciated the little thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel extra welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The Annex is lovely, quirky, spacious and comfortable. The garden was great for the dogs too and we were all made to feel very welcome. We will revisit soon, thanks for being such great hosts. :0)

This charming cottage was a perfect find for visiting my family in Wivenhoe. The location by the river is wonderful. The accommodation is really lovely- spacious, clean, bright and everything provided for. Charles and Emma are lovely welcoming hosts. Thank you both for a lovely stay. I will undoubtedly be back. And perhaps I’ll find some time to look at the book collection!

A really sweet and peaceful cottage. Ruth was a 5* host! helping with a food delivery as we came on motorbikes. She checked in to make sure things were ok, which they were great! the place is easy to find and has a beautiful private garden to enjoy. The village is nice with a great local pub, the road to and from the village is tricky to walk along, but if you drive/ride its very easy. We loved our stay and with friends local to the area will be will coming back lots! Thanks Ruth

Debs and Lucy are great hosts and we really enjoyed our stay at Drake Cottage. Set in a lovely quiet part of Saffron Walden but within walking distance to the the town which is full of great shops and amenities. The cottage is fully equipped with everything to make it the perfect stay. I thought the bathrobes were a nice touch. We will definitely be making a return visit.
