1 bed spacious self-contained barn with lake views
Nice place to stay, rural area, lovely views. The place is spacious, well equipped. Nice fitness area. There’s a parking space close to the entrance and also electric charging available.

John's Barn
Our stay was perfect in every way. Bobby was very welcoming and the property is stunning. Everything was spotlessly clean and the kitchen has everything you require. The outdoor space is huge and beautiful- loved exploring the woods and feeding the fish. There are so many toys/games for both inside and outside to keep children entertained. We loved our stay.

New Forest, Seaview
This was our second stay. Everything was as nice as we remembered from our first visit. The flat is spacious and well-appointed, the location is private and quiet, and the hosts are friendly and responsive. What more could you ask for in an AirBnB?

The Thatched House cottage, sunny garden & parking
Lovely place to stay and Louise was super helpful and easy to get hold of.

Cottage close to beaches and restaurants
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The home itself is lovely—very spacious, beautifully decorated, and in a fantastic location that made exploring the area easy and enjoyable. It had everything we needed for a comfortable visit, and we especially appreciated how much room there was to relax. The only downside for us was that, being a dog-friendly property, there was a noticeable pet smell. We're not pet owners ourselves, so it was just something we were more sensitive to. That said, it's a great spot for anyone travelling with dogs, and overall, it didn’t take away from our stay too much. Would absolutely recommend to others, especially those with pets!

Home with wood fire and lake views, pet friendly
We had a great stay and would recommend to others. The Airbnb was exactly as described and so cosy and homely! The host was helpful and check-in/out was seamless. The location of the Airbnb was beautiful - we stayed as we attended a wedding close by , but went to local pubs and there were some beautiful walks close by.

Large Luxury Detached House outside of Cardiff
Lovely home for our large family get together. When asked questions Elisha was very quick to respond and even recommended some lovely restaurants. We loved Penarth it’s such a lovely place to stay. We could stroll for about 20 minutes to the pier and various restaurants from the house. Also easy access into the city by train.

Newly Refurbished Cottage, Hot Tub, Games Rm, 8pax
A lovely, relaxing couple of nights stay. The Coach House has all you need, is warm and cosy and very comfortable. The beds are super comfy and the duvets really warm and cosy. The garden is very private and a lovely feature, and for anyone staying in warmer weather has everything you need to spend plenty of time outdoors. If you're looking to keep your steps up, try a walk round the lakes, lots of bird life, very interesting. The lighting system took a bit of getting used to but is very ambiant and well thought out. The kitchen has plenty of space so you can cook and chat. It would have been good if the oven had worked but we were told about this beforehand and provided with an airfryer so could work around this quite easily. The host was always quick to respond, kept in touch and made our stay very easy. I would recommend The Coach House for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. All the quirky little touches make The Coach House quite unique and we would definately return.

Apartment in glorious Exmoor National Park Porlock
We had a wonderful stay in this very comfortable apartment. The bed is one of the best we've slept in. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Very close to beautiful walks and amenities. Only slight negative was the noise early in the morning when staff are preparing breakfast for the BandB guests in the main residence but we were not put off by this. We will definitely be returning.

The Penthouse, 16 At The Beach
Great place. Comfortable flat. Lovely weekend away.

Cosy annexe in Chew Valley, near Bath and Bristol
Lovely, peaceful annexe in a charming village—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located between Bath and Bristol. Great value and a welcoming host. Highly recommend!

SHOREBANKS - Harbour View Apartment in Sandbanks.
perfect location by the water with a handy Tesco extra downstairs for breakfast pastries! lovely balcony to see the sunset

(Upper Deck) Beachside studio Weymouth
What an amazing place for a solo bank holiday weekend to reset and recharge! Terry’s apartment was perfectly located and had everything I needed. Train station close by and right next to the beach for those early morning dips and lots of amazing hikes and running routes nearby. I recommend The Smugglers Inn for a lovely Sunday Roast, and it’s right on the coastal path which is a stunning hike. There’s a lovely cafe and local convenience store for essentials right on the doorstep of the apartment - and the balcony is a prime spot for a coffee, taking in the waves and watching the world go by. Being able to hear the waves through the windows in the apartment was pretty special! A great stay and a super friendly and communicative host. Thank you Terry!

Seaside Retreat: Luxury 1-bed, Free Parking
Perfect place to get away from a busy life. Alex was amazing with responding if questions were asked. It’s a gorgeous studio flat and feels like you’re at home. Within walking distance for a lot of food options and the beach is right next door.

Stunning Top Floor Flat | Pet Friendly | Sea Views
Really nice top floor flat with great views of the harbour. Glenn was a top host and really responsive providing clear instructions. Would highly recommend!

Lakeside View
Geoff was very kind and responsive, the place was very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Lake access cottage rentals

April Cottage, Everton, Lymington
We had a lovely few days at April Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and in a great location for exploring the New Forest and the coast.

The Red Cottage in the heart of the New Forest
We loved our stay at Red Cottage. It was the perfect place to stay for our group. Jane was incredibly helpful throughout and made great local recommendations. The cottage was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is like a complete hotel room with its own luxurious en suite giving each part of the family somewhere they could relax alone when they wanted that time away from the communal space. We all had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Lakeside Barn, Woodford Farm - Wells, Somerset
We had a wonderful stay at the lakeside barn. The view from the barn is truly beautiful. We came with our 8 month old baby and it was a great space for her to roam around (We brought our own travel cot which the bedroom had plenty of room for). Anna was so friendly and kind. She communicated well throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend. Thank you!

The Boathouse waterside Yarmouth IOW
My family and I had a fantastic stay! The place was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located with absolutely stunning views. Nigel was incredibly responsive, helpful, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

Lovely Farmhouse (self-contained) accommodation.
What a lovely place - Fran could not have been more helpful and generous, allowing us to drop our bags early as we were attending a wedding nearby, and even offering us a lift to get there. The cottage was lovely with everything we needed for one night - and even a log burner we would definitely have enjoyed using if it was winter! Overall a very enjoyable experience - thank you Fran (and the dogs!) for looking after us so well

stylish barn conversion with hot tub and lake view
Helen and Paul’s place is the most beautiful and thoughtfully curated Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. This home truly goes above and beyond, every room is filled with beautiful, thoughtful touches that made our stay feel so special. From homemade sourdough bread waiting for us, to individual toiletries and everything you could possibly need already provided, it was clear how much care and love has gone into creating this space. The garden was absolutely stunning, with cozy, comfortable furniture perfect for relaxing. And the hot tub under the stars! Just magical. The entire stay felt like a peaceful retreat, and we left feeling completely recharged. Helen and Paul were the perfect hosts — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Rural romantic retreat, hidden in the Mendip hills
We had a lovely stay over bank holiday. The home was a perfect size for us as a couple with a young baby. Clare made us very comfortable & there are lots of personal touches & tips including local walks which we enjoyed. Very peaceful location. The local pub is a short drive away. The patio was lovely in the sunshine 🌞

New Barn, Dyrham, Near Bath.
Beautiful air bnb, in a peaceful location! Tom was helpful with recommendations and things to do in the surrounding area. Was exactly as described with extra company from the four dogs, which we loved!
