Places to Visit from Holiday Homes in Essex 

With so many places to visit and explore from these cottages to rent in Essex, you’ll have no problems filling your time up with exciting adventures during your stay here. If a day at the beach is on the cards, then hopping over to Suffolk to the resort town of Felixstowe is a must-do! Here, you'll find a brilliant beach that’s often packed full of tourists during the summer, as well as a historic pier and plenty of places to stop off for a bite to eat and a drink. 

On the other hand, heading over to the town of Ipswich can also be a great idea to consider if you’re hoping to visit somewhere rich in history. Situated just a few miles northwest of Felixstowe along the River Orwell, here you’ll find an amazing museum dedicated to the town’s past, as well as a host of unique and interesting landmarks like Pykenham’s Gatehouse and the site of the Blackfriars Monastery. After spending the day exploring the town, we’d highly recommend heading down to the waterfront, where you’ll find many fantastic places to grab a bite to eat and a drink before returning to your accommodation.
