Seafront at The Beach House at 248 Lydstep Haven
A lovely place to stay for the weekend. Beautiful caravan, with all the amenities. Incredible view of the sea to wake up to, wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was very responsive to messages and allowed us to have a later check out time. Thanks for enabling us to have an incredible weekend!

Large pristine 17m heated pool, countryside views
Emily and Daniel were brilliant hosts and very easy to communicate with. Their home is beautiful and it was spotlessly clean too. Their pool area is stunning so if you get the weather it’s a really lovely space to enjoy. I would recommend this to anyone looking to spend time in this area, just be aware that the pool area is shared with their home. We were staying as did the Seven Sisters hike one day (40mins drive away). Thank you again for a lovely stay.

Deluxe Coach House at Bretforton Manor with pool
We had a great 4 nights at Lucy’s. The garden is breathtaking, the pool lovely and a short walk takes you to the historic pub (complete with Morris Dancers). Lucy was very welcoming and friendly and the house comfortable and within easy travelling distance of some of the best parts of the Cotswolds. We would love to return. Thanks Lucy!

Barn conversion, Henley-on-Thames
A beautiful barn conversion in lovely grounds with lots of facilities, with thoughtful and helpful hosts. It was a fabulous long weekend and we didn’t need to leave the grounds to be entertained throughout, from in the pool to playing pool, it was all we could ask for.

Secluded Picture Postcard Cottage with Pool
This is a gorgeous cottage set in the middle of countryside (but easy to get out & about in the car). The kitchen is huge and with everything you need, with several options for outdoor dining to make the most of the lovely garden. Beds are comfy with decent sized rooms, but the standout attraction is of course the pool…heated so that we (with two young kids) could enjoy it for several hours each day of our stay without anyone getting bored or chilly. Lorna & Dean v friendly & helpful hosts. Highly recommend; only caveat - while we had a great weekend here with our toddler in tow, we were outdoors for most of the time; the cottage is decorated beautifully and has flagstone flooring throughout the downstairs which are not always compatible / relaxing with an energetic 2 year old.

Luxury Cedar House - Private Garden, Pool & Spa
Cedar House is simply stunning. Beautiful gardens and surroundings, very comfortable and spacious property with everything you need. The pool and spa are a delight and I couldn't recommend highly enough. Kelly as a host is great as well, good at responding and clear with information, nothing was too much trouble. Overall, a brilliant place, would definitely recommend.

Magical Views - House in dreamlike location
This was our second time staying at Brigit’s and this time we made sure the whole family came along with Jim our dog. The most beautiful and magical place that we all enjoyed so much. We will be back again!

Kent Pool Cottage ~ Private Indoor Heated Pool
Our daughter was very recently diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy. Due to her medication, we were unable to fly, which meant that we had to cancel our planned family trip abroad for her 1st birthday. We found Alex and Lucie’s listing and it seemed almost too good to be true! Somewhere that we could keep our youngest shielded, whilst also giving us a place to give our eldest a real feel of a holiday. The cottage is beautiful and immaculately kept. Everything about it is perfect. Alex and Lucie added additional personal touches, like a hooded towel for the little one and additional pool checks to ensure that she was kept safe, which we appreciated immensely. I’m not sure if it was me or our eldest that had most fun in the pool and the pool toys got plenty of use! We said within a few hours of arriving that we would love to return and we look forward to doing so in the future. Thank you so much for helping us to give our little ones (and us) exactly what was needed!

Black Lodge
We’ve had a fantastic stay at Black Lodge. Fiona is a wonderful host, the house was immaculate and has beautiful views, a great base to explore Kinsale and Cork. We felt very lucky being able to walk down to the beach and we spotted lots of different birds on the way. The park and bakery in Ballinspittle were so handy. The girls loved playing fetch with D-for! We recommend the drive to Blarney Castle, the Scilly walk to Charles Fort in Kinsale and a visit to Dock Beach. We’ve lots of happy memories to take home with us.

Waterfront Cottage on the Applecross Peninsula
Tigh A'Mhulillin is a beautiful and peaceful place. We've just spent a week enjoying spectacular weather and scenery and observing the wildlife from the house. The house is immaculate, well equipped and extremely comfortable with lovely touches. Jamie has thought of everything. Thank you.

Luxurious hideaway near Lyme Regis
Lovely place, very peaceful and relaxing. Lovely gesture by the host with the bottle of Prosecco thank you 😊 Claire was very helpful and responsive to messages. Before the trip she sent us some information for things in the area, places to eat etc, was very helpful. Lovely little hide away, nice and private. Just as the pictures showed, Beautiful. We both really enjoyed our stay thank you. Angela and Marie 😀

Cottage in Bower Hinton
Wow! What more can I say! This was such a delightful place and an absolute gem to find. Loved the decor, everything was so tastefully decorated and was absolutely right up our street; the cute private garden was one of our favourite spots. There's nothing negative to say, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Laura for hosting us, we would definitely stay here again and hopefully for a bit longer as it's such a good base for exploring whatever your taste might be. We were doing a nature trip this time round but hopefully next time we will get to see more of the fantastic coasts. ❤️

Weavers Cottage, Hartsop-stunning location
Perfect location. 10/10. I did not want to leave. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, unbelievable views, superb location, easy access to logs for fire with which my husband was delighted. 100% would return... tomorrow if it was possible! Our dog (border terrier) had a fantastic time too and was very interested in the wee hedgehog who appeared to be living in the bushes outside and the free range chickens!! There was also a free range doggo popping round to the garden in the evening. Vigilance/ Lead/ supervision was a must for our super inquisitive pup.

1 Craiglinnhe Court...sleeps 2-4 guests.
Dora was very responsive to our queries and friendly. Her place was better than we expected, very clean, spacious and well stocked. Location is fantastic too, lots of shops and restaurants nearby and we had a great walk in the morning.

And Bwthyn Bach
Great place for a couple on a short break. Easy walk to shops and sea. along with bing convenient for touring the many coves and beaches.

Lief Huisje Zeeland + bathtub, 2 km from sea
We loved it in a nice cottage. We felt right at home in the beautifully decorated dike house. Where we immediately noticed that Iske has thought well to make the cozy spaces usable and practical for a short stay. Everything is correct. The front garden was also great to sit in with the beautiful weather we had. In the comfortable chairs, watch what occasionally passes by on the slightly higher street. Cycling and walking 'Sasputgenoten' nice cats and dogs with owners. With unobstructed views over the greenery across the street. We didn't really need anything else. The electric bikes we could rent from Iske were perfect for exploring the area. The tip we got from her about cycling a path very close to (or actually between) the Westerschelde was the best. The water, the view, birds, cows, grassland. We will definitely come back one day to see more of Zeeuws Vlaanderen and enjoy the cottage.

Orchard Barn Spa, exclusively for you, New Forest
The property was perfect, the pictures are lovely and they reflect the quality. The property once there is outstanding and very peaceful. It’s one of those hidden Gem AirBnBs, we loved the stay and will hopefully return.

5 Star Penthouse Sea Views Hot Tub Garden Wifi
Lovely stay at Ems place. Ideal location to get to different areas of Cornwall and a 5 min walk from the shops. Really lovely views, a real treat to be able to look at the sea and at Michael’s mount when having breakfast. Very clean and great amenities. Em herself was very responsive, very friendly and super helpful. Great for the dogs too. Thanks!

Highland loch-side, 2 bed house with amazing view.
We cannot fully put into words how special Elizabeth’s place is. By far, it is one of the best Air BnB’s we’ve stayed at in the Highlands. If you’re looking for a peaceful hub to visit all the sights. If you’re looking for a refuge, you don’t need to leave the property. As a host, Elizabeth went above and beyond, anticipating our needs, providing recommendations, and even offering a welcome basket.

Waterfront Cottage - Apple Pie Luxury Escapes
A beautiful apartment with genuinely stunning views from the balcony and living room. The amenities are excellent, and the hosts fab!

Breakers Beach House, Ladies Beach, Ballybunion.
What a great stay at a beautifully well appointed home. Plenty of space and lots nice touches to make you feel welcome. Siobhan was awesome and so friendly. Her communication was quick and timely. Highly recommend this place to stay.

Craigneuk near Oban, stunning home with sea views
David's place was our favourite during this one week holiday in Scotland. The location is amazing and seeing the water from the livingroom and bedroom windows was wonderful. However, what made it stand apart from other accommodations was the interior design: every single space inside the house is tasteful and cosy, and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. Everything was clean and the quality of towels, soaps and shower gels are five star hotel level. David and Amanda are great hosts, very friendly and thoughtful, and it is evident that the comfort of their guests is their priority - also, we were delighted to meet them in person. We were sorry to leave after only one day there and will be happy to go back when next in Scotland.

Mawgan Porth Home with a view of the beach (small)
Barbara's house is wonderful. It has a stunning view over Mawgan Porth beach and you can walk down to the beach via the dunes. Sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the view is a treat! The house itself is lovely - compact but it has everything you need. Barbara is a very responsive and helpful host. I would very happily stay again!

River Cottage Retreat~Sauna~Cold Plunge~Waterfall
Our stay at River Cottage felt less like checking into an Airbnb and more like stepping into Anna and Luke’s thoughtfully curated retreat. Nestled beside a usually gentle stream, the cottage offered a rare kind of quiet. We found ourselves unwinding in ways we hadn’t expected. As if the place itself were helping us silence the usual rush of thoughts. The sauna and cold plunge, discreetly positioned at the water’s edge, added a touch of simple luxury. They blended seamlessly into the natural surroundings rather than standing out as flashy extras, even when lit up at night. We explored the surrounding area by car and found Sligo to be the perfect complement to the cottage’s peaceful seclusion. My wife and I already feel drawn back to this little slice of Ireland - eager for another chance to recharge in the calm that Anna and Luke have created. We’re also looking forward to seeing their next ideas come to life.
