Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in River Stour

Really lovely spot. Travelled to visit Colchester and Dedham Vale. Penny and her husband made my dad and I feel at home in this pretty corner of Essex as we stayed in their open plan barn (lower floor). We were greeted upon arrival despite hold-ups meaning we arrived late and Penny showed us round. Their estate has a beautiful walk around which we made the most of and Penny recommended a number of spots to visit - we enjoyed a walk in a nearby wood. The room was light and comfortable, both beds were more than adequate and I enjoyed the ensemble of paintings and ornaments on display - it felt like a little home for a few days. Would recommend to a friend.

Had a fabulous week exploring Ipswich and Suffolk; this is a great base from which to visit a multitude of places and so much variety from Jimmy's Farm to World War 2 collections to falconry and kayaking to Saxon and medieval history; the furthest we drove was 40 miles. Excellent apartment with interesting views and Kie was a superb host - he met us at the apartment and also messaged during the week to check that everything was ok. Very happy to recommend this apartment and will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Me and my partner stayed here for one night to celebrate his birthday and we had a lovely time! The studio was a great size to accommodate us both. We ate at the restaurant/bar/pub adjoined to it and had great food and service there too. They helped us with the checking in and turning on the heating - everything was sorted instantly for us. A lovely place for a weekend get away and would definitely recommend as well as return! :)

Awesome host. Very responsive. Convenient to restaurants, train, Co-Op.

Great apartment with clear instructions for check in, which was flexible.

This house was great for what we needed, a family celebration. A lovely kitchen dinning room and great sized bedrooms all as described. There were lovely walks that included the local pubs! Host was easy to chat with and responed quickly to my messages (hosts dad was super friendly and helpful). We were lucky to have great weather and the garden was like having another room. Recommended for a relaxing weekend away.

Very comfortable, well equipped caravan. Travel cot easy to put in largest bedroom. Good amenities, bonus of small bath ideal for babies. Lovely decking area which catches the sun and clear easy instructions for access. Will be booking again!

We had a great stay at Wash Farmhouse. The space was great and exactly what we needed. The house was clean and really nicely finished. Instructions and amenities were well explained and overall we had a really lovely time. Well worth booking and going too.

Great location for the Racecourse and the local Pub's too

The hosts were very lovely and friendly they greeted us at their gate and showed us the flat which was lovely and clean! They provided fresh bread and milk which was a great touch! The beds were so comfy and we all had a great sleep and the sofas and front rooms were a great place to relax and watch TV I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay in the area and we’ll defo be back if are in the area

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Anna for such a fantastic weekend. The air bnb was immaculate - it was a perfect place to celebrate a hen weekend. Every amenity was thought about. There was great space indoors and out. Anna was incredible responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to come back!

We had a lovely weekend getaway here. The house was comfy and spacious. I eould recommend for a group booking. It is right on the main road and guests who slept that side of the building commented that it could be a bit noisy at times. If you plan to book a shopping delivery in advance, message the host for the name of the place, our driver knocked at the neighbours house.
