Holiday Cottages Essex

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Essex cottages.

When it comes to holiday cottages Essex is perhaps not the first destination that springs to mind, however it can provide many pleasant surprises. As you travel from west to east across this vast, ancient county the landscape transforms from historic woodlands, through rolling wheat-fields dotted with poppies and windmills to the estuaries and coastal villages and towns of the great North Sea. Maldon is a delightful old Essex town on the River Blackwater where the graceful Thames sailing barges are moored and provide a splendid spectacle. Colchester is the oldest recorded town in Britain and you can still see the Roman walls and town gate.

Nearby is Constable Country - Dedham Vale and the Stour Valley which is dissected by the meandering River Stour. It was immortalised by John Constable in his paintings over 200 years ago and for some this Essex countryside is the quintessential English rural landscape. By selecting one of our holiday cottages Essex and its many attractions can be discovered. So why not browse our selection of Essex cottages to find something that catches your eye?
