Manstone Cottage, Yattendon
Very helpful, beautiful location, peaceful, had a wonderful stay, didn’t want for anything. Lovely food in the surrounding pubs. Thank you for a great stay.

Self catering studio flat on beautiful Devon farm
Booked fairly late but were so pleased we did. Perfect location for what we were doing and so close to lovely beaches in the area. Property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

The Hayloft - Rural retreat very near Winchester
The Hayloft was in a beautiful location; we loved watching the sunset from the balcony. It had everything we required, and Debbie stocked it with all the necessities and more. There was a little bending over to avoid some of the low roofs, but that is to be expected with the type of building; Debbie has utilised the available space perfectly. There wasn't really anywhere for us to let the dogs off due to there being various livestock around, so they had to be kept on the lead whilst outside, which wasn't a problem, but I just thought I would mention it for future reference. Overall, we had a lovely time and would happily stay here again.

Self contained studio near Marlborough and Avebury
Sheila was a great host! The studio is wonderful for a weekend getaway in the country. The place is quiet and has a beautiful setting, yet the town is really closeby if one fancies a nice outing at a restaurant. Highly recommended!

34 Monmouth Beach
Absolutely loved our stay at No.34, just wish it had been longer - we didn't want to leave. It was so relaxing being right beside the sea and the chalet had everything that we needed. Amazing how such a small space can pack so much in!! We were blessed with wonderful weather too. I would highly recommend booking - you won't be disappointed. Thank you Sarah for all the work you do behind the scenes to make this such a special place 🌞⚓🌊⛵🍹

Garden Room
The Garden House is such a beautiful peaceful place to stay. I woke to the birds singing, surrounded by luscious greenness and thatched cottages. The house is fully equipped and very comfortable. The sun shines into the house beautifully for long evenings, great for sundowners outside the big doors. Great walks all around the village and Salisbury is just 10 minutes away. Brilliant!

The Studio B&B Luxury Garden Room
We stayed one night whilst visiting relatives and this was a clean, convenient, economic and comfortable solution with fantastic guest communications and service.

Caister Cottage Barn
Wij hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad. Liz en David zijn super vriendelijk, en kwamen met goede tips wat te doen in de omgeving. En super fijn dat Liz mijn broek en sokken heeft gewassen nadat ik was uitgegleden in een modderpoeltje 🫣 Huisje heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, en je kan er heerlijk buiten zitten en genieten van hun mooie tuin 🥰

Beautiful One-bed Countryside Retreat In Bath
Excellent accommodation and location, we had a very pleasant stay. Hosts were very friendly and approachable, Chestnut Barn was very well layout, charming and homely. The bottle of wine, Bath Soft Cheese, and the breakfast Crossants were lovely and greatly appreciated. We visited Bath, Bristol and went to the Bath soft cheese farm for lunch. All very enjoyable, and well worth seeing, met up with family at local pub, and had an excellent stay. We look forward to visiting again. Many thanks Colin and Julie xx

Characterful 2-bedroom cozy cottage with garden
Great walks and coves to explore. Wonderful views over chesil beach. Lovely place to come back to and relax.

Character Barn in the Heart of Beaminster
Little hidden gem in the beautiful little market town of Beaminster. The barn was perfect for 2 plus 2 dogs , very clean & the most comfortable bed & pillows . Lovely little touches milk & fizz , also dog treats. Beaminster is lovely, 2 pubs , restaurant & supermarket, also little individual shops. Lovely atmosphere, church bells ringing on Sunday morning was special. Only 20 mins drive from Lyme Regis , Bridport & West Bay . We will definitely be back

The Getaway: Quaint Log Cabin on Jurassic Coast
The cabin is a great place to stay. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet. Well placed to visit Dorset & Jurassic coast. Would happily stay there again.

Cosy lodge, parking, beautiful setting, Lyme Regis
Our family had a lovely weekend at Helen's place. It was beautifully located, clean and safe for the kids (4 year old and 10 month old). It's a short walk to Uplyme and a 5 min drive to Lyme Regis. We would definitelly come back for a longer break.

Arne View Lodge, South facing with Hot tub.
Thank you for a lovely stay. Used the lodge as a base to visit Durdle door and Bournemouth, also found lots of great places to eat within a short drive. Aldi and Lidl very close. Great location. So nice to relax in the hot tub after! Baby friendly- took our 9m old and we had everything we needed.

Unique Private Cabin in Purbeck Dorset Countryside
Such a lovely area. Lovely views of hills. Small but perfectly formed space with a lot of bits left like ground coffee, spices etc. Very comfortable bed. Lovely and warm. Thank you!

Barn @ North Wraxall
Très bon séjour, très confortable, environnement apaisant. Bien centré pour visiter plusieurs secteurs, à proximité de Bath. Un des meilleurs AirBnB que nous avons loué jusqu’à maintenant.

Garden studio in beautiful town
This place is really beautiful. It was clean, comfortable, plenty of space for one/two people, and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The garden area is beautiful. This place is like its own little nook and I felt very secure and safe here. I really appreciated the extra amenities — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, feminine toiletries, cotton pads, makeup remover, lotion, milk, cereals, jam, butter, etc. It really is the most perfect place to stay in Bradford on Avon. It’s only a short walk into town and Marsha & David provide tons of information about the town and surrounding area in a big binder. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

Scenic 2 Bed Lodge with hot tub and indoor pool
What an absolutely gorgeous stay in a beautiful location. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived, the lodge was spotless and the hot tub and pool a real treat. The lodge is surrounded by stunning gardens making it feel very peaceful and secluded, the perfect spot for a girls staycation. Becky was really accommodating and always on hand to answer any questions. Thank you. We look forward to returning already!

Elegantly Converted Stables near Bath with Luxury Hot Tub
We enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Stables. It was just as beautiful as the photos suggested and a perfect location for visiting Bath. It was a simple hop onto a bus at the end of the drive and be in the city centre within 15 mins. The quality of the furnishings in The Stables were clear to see & made our stay that much more luxe to help celebrate my 40th birthday. We had great weather and took full advantage of the hot tub to relax after a long day exploring Bath. We had a couple of queries for Nancy during our stay and Nancy was very quick to respond in a very polite & helpful manner. Thanks for a lovely stay Nancy!

Modern Garden Room under 5 min walk to beach
Wonderful few days away at the Garden Room, beautiful space, great host - everything we could have asked for and a little bit more. The Garden room was clean, roomy, easy to access, brilliant instructions on arrival. A fab guidebook with lots of local recommendations. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Suzie was reactive to questions and helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and return when we are back in the area.

Garden Cottage, Bromham, Wiltshire
Julie and John's cottage is a lovely place to stay. It was tidy and clean and far more spacious than we were expecting. Bromham is an ideal base for trips out to the surrounding areas . The greyhound pub, which serves excellent food is a 2 minute walk. Although we had to cut our trip short by a day due to family reasons, we would highly recommend staying at Julie and John's and would have no hesitation in returning.

Lovely annex - a home away from home
Lynne was an incredibly warm, flexible and hospitable host - she was very generous and accommodating with the different requests for help that we had, and flexible as well. The annex was perfect for our stay - very clean, the beds were comfortable and it had all the amenities we needed. The garden that it is in is stunning - credit to the hosts for creating such a beautiful surroundings. Our children were especially appreciative of the friendly fish in the pond! Would highly recommend this place and host.

Gerties House
Foi a nossa primeira vez em Glastonbury e gostámos muito! O alojamento está muito bem situado e podemos ver o Tor desde o apartamento, o que para nós, foi a cereja em cima do bolo! Conseguimos desfrutar do jardim com o nosso filho e passamos momentos muito felizes juntos! A anfitriã esteve sempre disponível quando necessitamos, e isso é algo que valorizamos enquanto hóspedes. O apartamento está equipado com itens básicos, mas os essenciais para uma agradável estadia. O ponto menos forte do apartamento é o ruído da estrada que passa em frente que limita o sono. De resto, só o podemos recomendar. Obrigada Edd e Kim

Beautiful studio with direct access to New Forest
Sarah and her Partner understand how to deliver a great Airbnb experience. The property is located in the most bucolic country scene, and we were surrounded by nature ( woodpeckers, squirrels and horses etc. The hosts are very generous, providing clean utensils, complimentary food and drinks and they really allow you to feel at home in their space. 10/10
