Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Darwen

What can I say about this wonderfully quaint and quirky cottage that hasn't already been written? Probably nothing, but once you've picked your jaw up off the floor it's impossible to not be totally besotted by this hidden gem nestled in the heart of the English countryside, the pictures really don't do it justice. Our initial exploration of the spotless interior was way beyond our expectations, it's simply stunning and is the perfect blend of old and new. Everything we needed was provided and the comprehensive notes provided by Sue were more than adequate in providing clear directions and instructions for the various appliances, etc. Our stay surpassed our expectations in every way possible, if you've ever wanted to stay in an authentic cottage with a truly spectacular garden and doorstep access to to miles of public walkways look no further. Finally, a huge thinks to our wonderfully responsive host Sue for offering this property on Airbnb, very, very highly recommended.

We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend at The Woodlands. The view is sensational with beautiful walks on the doorstep. The house itself has all the amenities that you might need and is beautifully decorated and stocked with White Company products. It's a luxurious home away from home.

Great stay ! Loved the hot tub and loads of lovely touches. Walking distance to a pub which was also ideal ❤️

Black Sheep Barn is just as described in the listing. It is far from any towns and most villages, but this gives it the seclusion and privacy that you sometimes want from a countryside break. The barn was amazing. It was spotlessly clean and the hosts were really friendly and welcoming. The little touches such as the cake on arrival and fresh eggs from the farm were lovely. It had everything you would want from an accomodation and we really enjoyed our time there. It was very relaxing, and the views are astounding. There are plenty of walks straight from the barn, also with great views. The major towns are within driving distance, so easy to get anything you need. We would recommend this accomodation and may well return in the future.

We really loved staying here, albeit very briefly! It was cosy and contemporary and had everything you need. Check-in was easy, the bed was really comfortable and it’s a really peaceful location with lovely views.

Peter and his wife were very approachable & friendly, accommodation is set in the out buildings of an old Manor House (the Manor House having been demolished some years ago) The accommodation fitted the bill, ample space, clean and tidy, peacocks, geese, ducks, chickens roamed the surroundings at will, we had our elderly parents with us so the stairs to the bedrooms and bathroom were a challenge but once we got our bearings they managed ok Extremely peaceful with great countryside views & surroundings, if you enjoy the great outdoors this would be more than suitable place to stay We would be quite willing return in the future

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this stunning accommodation. The place was well kept and very spacious, ideal for a group of 6. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub whilst looking at the beautiful views of the Malvern Hills. Daniel and Pamela were super friendly and very responsive to our questions. Pamela recommended a lady in the village who cooks fresh, authentic Indian dishes, this was an added bonus for us.... her food was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend this accommodation if you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful break away!

We enjoyed our stay. Easy drive to NEC, lots to do in and around the area. Lee left really a really good dossier about the house and the area. We would stay again.

Helen's flat is very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished and the kitchen table has a stunning view over Hereford (many games of cribbage played with glasses of wine!). The kitchen has everything needed to produce a meal and Helen kindly left milk, breakfast goods etc in the fridge. The bed was very comfortable, with extra linen if you needed. The HUGE shower was a real luxury. The relaxing spacious sitting room has a woodburner stove if needed (sadly we could not justify lighting it in June 😆). This is a perfect base for travelling around the beautiful surrounding areas, or to just chill out and relax (WiFi very good). 10/10 🤗

A beautiful loft apartment located in the centre of Bollington. spotlessly clean, welcoming and warm. The host Nick was very helpful & available and willing to offer advice on the local area. The beds were so comfy and cozy with high quality bed linen. we would highly recommend the loft to anyone wanting to explore the Cheshire countryside.

All positive comments are true - thank you for a pleasant stay. It’s a pity that we only booked two nights.

A really nice stylish and welcoming apartment in a quiet, leafy but convenient location, with everything we needed including a comfortable bed and really good shower. Even better than the photos suggest. Very close walk to all that Kings Heath and Moseley offer. Thanks for a great stay!

An exceptional apartment with everything you may need for a short stay in Cheltenham. Suzanne thoughtfully left a welcome basket of goodies which was a very sweet touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Thank you Neil for being a warm and welcoming host . The accommodation is lovely and just want me needed. many thanks Wyn&Theresa

Really peaceful and comfortable stay. Check-in was really easy. Felt really private and relaxing. Good value. Will be back the next time I’m on tour in the area :)

Lovely stay at this Airbnb, would recommend. Used as a base to visit friends. Peaceful neighbourhood and walkable to things of interest. Bed very comfy and Julian was a great host!

A wonderful period home full of original features. Very beautiful, comfy, spacious place to relax, and a stunning garden, with a great view of the church.

Lovely stay. House was spotless and very spacious. The estate has great facilities (pool, spa, tennis courts, etc) and we loved having access to the lake for paddle boarding. Would recommend the private chef from Ballihoo on the estate. Alasdair was a very helpful and responsive host.

We stayed here for a weekend away as a group of school mates all turning 30. The property was the perfect base for us, providing us with the best possible experience. We’re an active, activity based bunch and this stay had something for everyone. Multiple activities, from the pool table, darts board, table tennis, air hockey, and yes the Pool and Sauna. Many of my friends couldn’t believe just what we had found for this stay. Private use of the pool is a great bonus. All beds were made, fresh linens and towels provided. We used the kitchen to cook our breakfast each morning. There’s ample parking for 3-4 vehicles inside and plenty on street right next to the property, which is a quiet street so not a stress. Whilst the decor is aged, we are not particular on this and found it added to the charm. Plenty of beds, bathrooms and spots to relax. We would stay again! The host was fantastic in communication and response to questions posed and made the whole process easy.

We stayed here with four children (ages 2 to 6) and it was great. Lovely living area at the top of the house and plenty of space for everyone. We were very lucky with the weather and could eat outside on the balcony for most meals. Lots to do on the Lower Mill Estate for families. We would come again.

Oldbury Barn is in a lovely location in the countryside with great views (though tricky to find, so the 'what3words' helped a lot!). The house was nicely presented and lovely and clean. Plenty of pots, pans, mugs (!) utensils etc for a large family group. The open plan nature of the kitchen/diner/lounge is great for a multi generational family gathering like ours, as you are always all together in one huge room. However, note that its a tiled floor and there isn't much in the way of soft furnishings so noise echoes around a bit and can be heard from all bedrooms - but this is only a problem if you have very young kids going to bed early or getting up early! The 2 ground floor bedrooms are large and with lots of storage. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are small with very low ceilings and little storage - fine for kids but we were were 7 adults and one toddler, so that didnt work brilliantly for us . The "slight height restriction" in the description is quite an understatement!!

I have to come clean - I am an enthusiast of Penarth, the architecture of the town, the community feel, and everything about the place. Sarah's place, being among the oldest houses in the town, was a must for all the things I was looking for. Sarah herself is friendly and has clearly put a lot of herself into the house. My journey time to Penarth could have been subject to delays, being more than 500 miles... but we had good communication and met up without difficulty at the house. All in all, the house was cosy and well appointed. It also was a great base for strolling into Penarth Town centre and even, across the barrage, to Butetown and even Cardiff. I would thoroughly recommend Sara's house for your stay.

This is a stunning property in a magical spot, and Karina and her husband could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The views from this property are absolutely exceptional, particularly from the hot tub! We were hugely grateful for all the practical advice that Karina and Rob provided, and particularly for how easy they made it to stay with an 11 month old. We’d love to come back!

No complaints at all, the house is lovely and felt like a home from home. Well catered for all including a high chair and stair gate if required. Very clean, comfy beds and a generally very spacious house, great for bigger groups. A 20 minute walk to the centre so easily accessible, parking at the back was secured by the gates. A nice big garden if you’ve got kids with you. Would definitely book again if we come to Cardiff. Thanks!
