Hi Staycation holidays co uk was launched by myself in October 2015. Having spent over 20 years within the holiday and tourism sectors, our passion is to deliver a friendly, fresh approach and the very best levels of service to our guests. On a daily basis, we strive to deliver on all the details, to ensure that you, our guests, enjoy a home from home experience and ultimately a memorable break. Our properties suit a wide range of budgets and we regularly feature special discounts. Everyone on our team has an in-depth knowledge of our cottages along with the local area and events to help you get the best out of your break. We’re here to offer help and advice whenever you need it, 24/7 - we aim to respond within the hour (unless it's the middle of the night!). We also take a flexible approach to bookings so that you can book from as few as two nights, up to 28 nights and offer unique arrival days too. Thank you for visiting us! Charles Millward

Kick off your shoes, feel at home & discover the power of peace at Campion Lodge. Here only the birds & your bubbling hot tub disturb the silence … Our luxury 5 AA star self-catering eco-lodge is located near Wakes Colne in the breath-taking Colne Valley on the Essex/Suffolk border. The real playground is the 500 acres of private grounds with woodlands & 2 acre fishing lake stocked with carp & rudd. A haven for birdwatchers & nature lovers, you may even catch a glimpse of a kingfisher. Your furry friends will love it too – the woods with its little stream are pooch perfect. Set at the end of a mile long private driveway, our bolthole is tucked away in an ancient meadow in undulating countryside, where in decades gone by heavy horses, cattle & sheep would have grazed. Beautifully decorated & spacious, Campion Lodge boasts the very best of open plan living. Cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen, watch Netflix on the bespoke sofas & enjoy the latest technology. Sleep like kings and queens in the sumptuous bedroom.
