Beachfront Apartment
We spent a couple of nights in Ian’s fabulous apartment overlooking the sea at Limeslade. I wish we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed a lovely walk along the coastal path to Langland where we had a bite to eat for lunch. Listening to the sound of the sea at night was special and being in such a beautiful apartment made our mini break just wonderful. Thank you Ian. Liz

1 Bron Menai is … ‘THE VIEW
The view of the Menai Strait from the large glass windows is stunning. It is even better in person than any photo can capture. The apartment was clean and well presented and has everything you need, including a handy dishwasher. The location is perfect for exploring Anglesey, North Wales and Snowdonia. Finally, the hosts are incredibly helpful and respond promptly to messages.

Cook's Quarters, Camus House, Causeway Coast
The Camus House was 5 stars all around! This place went beyond our expectations. The interior and setting was so cozy, clean, and peaceful. The host went above and beyond with providing fresh breakfast items - so incredibly thoughtful and helpful. A perfect location if you are exploring the causal coast area (car required for this airbnb). Couldn't recommend enough!

Magical Lighthouse studio with stunning sea views
Wat een prachtige plek en een mooie airbnb. Volledige stilte en privacy. Een hip appartement waar heel goed is nagedacht over de beschikbare ruimte. We hebben enorm genoten en hadden het geluk dat de zon scheen. Onvergetlijke dagen! Nu al heimwee!

The Bay -1 bedroom apartment
The location of this rental is breathtaking, literally a few steps from the beach and it really is. Wide constantly changing skies, the sea, the mountains, the birds….all seen from the huge glazed doors. The place itself is tiny but you have everything you need and such a clever use of space and nice and warm. Bed, duvet and bed linen all super comfortable and luxurious. The welcome basket is extremely generous and hosts super friendly too. I loved the local toiletries so much I went and bought my own!

Sea View | Hot Tub | Beach Walk
My husband, 10-year-old daughter and myself have just returned from a truly amazing week, the property is beautiful, with facilities that far exceeded expectations. We had such a relaxing time; the beds are super comfy; led in bed looking out to sea with a coffee in the morning was a true highlight. The gardens are beautifully kept and being gated and private we had no worries with our daughter playing out. The walk down to Watcombe Beach, albeit steep on the way back up but 100% worth it; we took our paddleboard down and went swimming on a number of occasions, the water is very calm, on 2 occasions we were in the water and within 20ft off us were 2 seals! The hot tub was perfect, lovely fluffy robes provided to keep off the chill. We used the BBQ each evening and ate out on the patio. Susan is an incredible host, nothing is too much trouble, very informative and exceedingly helpful, she really did enhance our stay and made us feel as if we were staying in a home from home.

Flat C View. For sand, sea, slate and fire.
Thank you, such a beautiful apartment and well decorated. It was a lovely weekend away to de-stress and to explore new places ❤️

Luxueus design penthouse ~ zicht op zee en duinen
Die Wohnung ist traumhaft gelegen und perfekt und hochwertig ausgestattet. Der Ausblick aufs Meer, den man vom Masterbedroom und von der Wohnküche aus hat, führt dazu, dass man die Wohnung am liebsten gar nicht verlassen will. Auch bei schlechtem Wetter kann man so den Aufenthalt genießen. Es gibt zwei kleine Schlafzimmer, den großen Masterbedroom mit offenem Bad (hier ist auch eine Toilette), die große Wohnküche, ein Bad (mit Dusche und Waschtisch ohne Toilette) und ein separates WC. Zwei Balkone runden die Wohnung perfekt ab, auf beiden gibt es Sitzmöglichkeiten. Es gab sogar Decken, für den Fall, dass es kühl draußen wäre oder man sich auf dem Sofa zudecken will. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen: Es gab sogar einen Standmixer und eine Zitruspresse, ein paar weitere Badhandtücher wären aber schön gewesen. Die Kinder hatten Spaß mit der Spielekonsole, die zwei Garagen und der Lift boten unkomplizierten (und trockenen) Zugang zur Wohnung. Hans war ein zuvorkommender Gastgeber!
Waterfront house rentals

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.

Seafront at The Beach House at 248 Lydstep Haven
Clean and comfortable. Completely renovated kitchen. We had a lovely sunset walk on the beach. We used taxis and recommend having a car. Spectacular location right on the beach. The caravan park was very well kept and check-in was a breeze. We would stay again and highly recommend Julie's wonderful sea cabin.

Stunning Kiernan Boathouse Bowness with Hottub
We have had a lovely stay at the boathouse which was just amazing! The boat house its self is beautiful, clean and comfortable with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It is very well equipt, plenty of towels, blankets and even robes. We loved the hot tub with views over the lake. The location of the boathouse was just perfect for us and the views were stunning! We took our own paddle boards and was so happy to be able to launch straight from the jetty to explore the lake. My daughter also loved feeding the ducks from the jetty. We have had a busy few days on local bike trails, hikes, paddle boarding, boating and having some lovely meals out in beautiful Bowness, but always looked forward to returning to the boathouse! We will definitely be returning! Thank you

Bridge Cottage, Magical 2 bedroom apartment
Traumhaftes Airbnb, man fühlt sich wirklich wie im Märchen. Malerische Umgebung, wunderschönes Castle und viel Natur und Ruhe und einen herum. Man hört den Fluss plätschern, wenn man die Fenster öffnet. Einfach das perfekte Airbnb und abzuschalten. Mimi war sehr freundlich und zugänglich und hat uns auch die Umgebung gezeigt und uns Empfehlungen gegeben. Kommunikation war super. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben aber hoffen, dass wir eines Tages wiederkommen können.

Highland loch-side, 2 bed house with amazing view.
This home was amazing. Just what we needed to use as a base for our Ben Nevis climb. Owner super helpful and friendly. Her little welcome pack was so thoughtful and everything we needed was there. Such a beautiful please to stay with the sheep, deer and mountains to see out the window. Perfect.

Secluded River Thames Lodge with Spectacular Views
Staying at Sarah's place was a wonderful experience. She is a great hostess! The place was very cosy and squeaky clean. We felt at home right away. It was exactly as it was discribed. The view was so beautiful, all so peaceful, a great getaway for a long weekend. If you like bird watching that's the place to be. Sarah had even accommodated for this by providing binoculars! The area is very beautiful and there are loads of paths to go for a walk. Her places-to- eat recommendations were to the point as well! Overall, an amazing stay in all levels! Thank you Sarah! I would strongly recommend!

ATLANTIC REST -Panoramic views Slea Head, Skelligs
The location is unbelievable. One of our visitors started to cry when she saw the landscape. Magnificent. The house is amazing; so clean and comfortable. Couldn’t ask for more

Beachhouse+Hottub
Perfect Girls weekend away! House was really lovely, excellent location to the beach and breathtaking views. Close to all local amenities and the hot tub was great for relaxing! Jacqui was an excellent host, extremely fast at responding and provided lovely touches to make our stay very comfortable! Will definitely come back!!

Cobblerview Apartment
We had an excellent stay at Cobblerview Apartment! The view was, of course, gorgeous - but the care that Carol & Don took in ensuring our stay was comfortable was greatly appreciated and made our experience especially enjoyable. The apartment is cosy and immediately inviting, with a sizable living room space and dining table positioned next to the window and looking out onto Loch Long. Though the view you have of the loch itself is expansive, we never felt as though we didn’t have enough privacy - aside from this window out onto the water, almost all of the natural light that filters in is through skylights. We never needed for utensils or utilities, Carol & Don provided a full range of crockery, cleaning supplies and towels It’s worth bearing in mind that as this is a waterfront property, the bugs are in abundance around summer and you’ll need to have your spray on if you want to sit out on the balcony this time of year!

Gramercy Cosy one bedroom haven - on the sea front
My wife and I were initially attracted by the view over the Firth of Clyde. The apartment was very comfortable and cosy and not lacking in space. In spite of being on the main road, it is set back and the bedroom is to the rear, so very peaceful with a view over the back garden. The kitchen was fully equipped and stocked with more than a few basics to get you started. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Patricia is a great host.

The Waterfront
Could not rate this property high enough!!The communications were clear, proactive, friendly and very helpful. The place was spotless, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The view was spectacular of the water. Beds and couches were comfy. The guide for local attractions and restaurants was extremely helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

No Eleven@The Ironworks, Lake District
We had a wonderful stay at No Eleven The Iron Works, even before our break started we had great communication from Glyn, with lots of recommendations. We arrived to an extremely thoughtful gift basket with lots of treats ( the jelly beans were delicious ) The apartment is beautifully decorated with lots of great touches, we really appreciated that we had everything we needed, we only ate out one evening because we felt so comfortable in the apartment. Nothing was too much trouble for Glyn and his wife. I cannot recommend a stay here enough and we will be back. Thank you so much to both Glyn and his wife for making our stay so amazing.

Private apartment in a beautiful location.
Susan & Peter could not have been more welcoming. Always checking that we had everything we might require and that we were enjoying our stay. Generous amounts of breakfast food provided plus gratis treats and snacks were provided. The apartment had everything...absolutely everything one might need. From sky tv to kitchen utensils of all kinds. From hair dryer to dishwasher. Linen to library. "Perfik."

Oban Seafront Penthouse - Superb Views
Extremely accommodating and responsive. Parking was easier than we initially thought. Location fabulous and across the street from Ee-Usk and its sister Italian restaurant Piazza. Get reservations or be at the door before they open and cross your fingers. So worth it. Easy walkability. Easy to get to ferry to other islands. The apartments was pristine, large bathroom and bedrooms. Relaxing in front of bay window overlooking water was so relaxing. Be safe repaired for 88 stairs (not that we counted)

BEACHCOVE APT . St Finans Bay .Ballinskelligs
Bridie was fantastic, met us at check-in and suggested where to go for dinner - she also helped us map our route to the Cliffs of Moher the next day via the ferry. She was so kind and we felt right at home. The cottage is fantastic. I just wish we spent more than one night!

Luxury design-led apartment in Titanic Quarter
Ben’s apartment is very comfortable and stylish. The location in the Titanic Quarter was perfect for us. We could walk downtown and to the Titanic Belfast museum. We could just leave our car parked while we were in Belfast. There is a small grocery store on the ground level of the apartment complex. The breakfast food and goodies that Ben provided were much appreciated. The washer/dryer was great for us on a three week road trip in Ireland. This is a lovely place to stay.
