BillieRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Fantastic stay at Ema-Louise’s Beautiful home. We felt instantly relaxed the moment we arrived. We celebrated my mum’s 60th Birthday and we had such a lovely time. The weather was good to us so we also got to spend time in the pool. The host was so lovely and made us all feel most welcome. The highlight of our stay was Rosie the pointer & Rocky the Chihuahua and all the horses. Was like a home away from home and we would love to come back! Thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️

Bear House, Nayland, Suffolk

KatieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Bear House. Marcus is a fantastic host, replying promptly and helping whenever we had questions. His house and gardens are spectacular and we loved our swim in his natural swimming pool. Nayland village is beautiful. We enjoyed a short walk along the river spotting a heron, several varieties of poppy and admiring the riverside houses on the way to the Anchor pub. We also enjoyed brunch at the old mill and a meal at the Angel, which is 5 minutes’ drive away in Stoke-by-Nayland.

The Old Steam Mill, Luxury in a beautiful location

AmberRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We had a wonderful weekend at the old steam mill. Photos don’t do it justice - it’s even more spacious and beautiful in real life! Very comfortable and quiet, the hosts Mark and Celina accommodated us at very short notice and were lovely and responsive when needed. The garden was perfect to enjoy a drink and meals in the warm summer evenings and our dog loved exploring. It was everything we hoped for a countryside getaway not too far from London.

No.18 - A perfect island getaway

LaurenRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We absolutely loved this home and would love to stay again! It was immaculately clean, well equipped, and has a fab garden, which we were able to use a lot due to the gorgeous weather. Close to shops, great cafes and the beach. Really quick and helpful responses from hosts. We really appreciated the lovely welcome gift and the bucket and spade got a lot of use - thank you! We will definitely recommend to friends and family and will be back.

Gorgeous cottage set in Bures

DeniseRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Beautiful cottage with everything you could need. We went with two kids and it was so nice not to have to pack the whole house/fridge for just one night. The kitchen was stocked with tea, coffee, fresh milk and bread, jam and butter! Everything was so easy and the landscaped garden is beautiful. On top of this we left behind an electric toothbrush which was posted back to us the day after we left :-)
