Willow Warbler HM112 Penthouse Lake Retreat & Spa
Lovely stay at Willow Warbler. The estate is beautiful & maintained to a high standard. Very peaceful. The apartment had everything we needed including extra touches like milk, travel cot, washing machine & dishwasher tablets, plenty of cooking equipment, tea bags, oil for cooking etc. There is a nice restaurant & pool on site. We didn’t use the gym as the opening hours weren’t early enough (10-5 so we were out for the day). We travelled with a 9 month old but there looked to be lots of things for older children such as soft play, water sports & play ground. Lots of bird watching to be done. Jane was very good at communicating with us & checking everything was ok. We used the apartment as a base to go out for the day such as to Oxford & Bourton but the apartment is very comfortable if you prefer chilling. Would recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxed break.

1 Bed river apartment on the docks
Had weekend in Gloucester to visit Christmas markets Ideally located apartment so we could park up and just walk around the town and markets and stop for food and drinks without worrying about driving Took our working cocker spaniel with us so was nice to have a dog friendly apartment rather than staying in a hotel. Having the nature reserve and fields behind the apartment was a bonus Elaina was very quick to respond to messages and very accommodating. Apartment was nice and clean and has all kitchen facilities to use but we took advantage and ate out at nice restaurants on the dock (Greek on the Docks and Dr Fosters and great old dog friendly pub The fountain. Lovely weekend all in all

Convenient Urban Oasis
Vicky and Jake were there to meet us and were very helpful with instructions on how to use heating and appliances within the apartment, we got good helpful advice on the local area and were made very welcome. Lots of little extras to help us feel at home and it was an extremely comfortable place to come back to and relax after a long day at the races or on the tourist trail. We would definitely consider using the apartment again in future visits to Cheltenham.

Luxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in The Docks
What a great find in Gloucester! Great location to bars, restaurants and shops.

Beautiful riverfront cosy one bedroom apartment
We visited Upton for the Sunshine Festival, but didn’t want to spend the weekend in a tent! We were thrilled to find this beautiful apartment with a river view, just steps from the local pubs and restaurants. Elisabeth phoned me the day before arrival to give clear directions, then she met us outside the property. We had a quick tour of the apartment, and she left us milk and biscuits. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for us both. Plenty of storage, although a few more coat hangers would be useful. The shower over the bath was hot and powerful, with a selection of shower gels and shampoos. The kitchen was compact, but had all that we needed, including washing up liquid, tea towel and scourer. The lounge was extremely comfortable with the stunning view of the river. We ate at the Boathouse, 3 mins walk. Delicious tapas and live music. We had a delicious Sunday roast at the King’s Head, 4 mins walk. I would highly recommend Elisabeth’s apartment.

A Rustic Retreat in Nature
A cosy contained flat sitting about an absolutely stunning valley, overlooking a wood beyond. Holly's flat was absolutely perfect for what I wanted - an away from it all, peaceful location where I could study and write. I love nature and I was surrounded by deer, incredible birdsong, red kites, pheasants and so much more. I was lucky to be here for the bluebells and also the golden fields of rapeseed. Ideal location for anyone who likes hill walking, hiking and / or is doing the Cotswold Way. It takes less than 10 mins to drive into Cheltenham, but this place is truly an oasis of calm and serenity. A 6-min drive to the nearest large supermarket, so that was handy. The furniture etc might be a tad dated but, honestly, the price reflects that fact and, frankly, I loved that this wasn't a show home, but rather a well-loved country place. Holly was wonderful to interact with. I recommend this flat in the heart of the Cotswolds. The bed is super comfy too!

Victorian penthouse apartment with dock views
we loved staying in the apartment and enjoyed the quirkiness and location of the place. would definitely stay again when we return to Gloucester.

Symonds Yat mews cottage
Debbie's cottage was the perfect location for a short break with the dog. lots of lovely walks direct from the cottage and plenty of friendly pubs in the area. would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit Symonds Yat

Stunning Lakeside Lodge
Back from a fantastic weekend stay at Vincent’s place. Loved the setting, truly beautiful and quiet, overlooking the lake. House was really well equipped, and spacious and was a fantastic base for the weekend to catch up with old friends. My only slight negative was that the bedrooms had blinds rather than curtains which let a lot of light in, and so we all woke early. That said it was a beautiful place and we would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Vincent.

100 Howells Mere - 100HM - Lakeside Spa Property
We enjoyed our stay at Jan's house in Someford Keynes. The rooftop entertaining space was a particular favourite of our group. For future travels, id note the following: * The ammenties in the holiday park are very busy and require significant prior planning. Unfortunately, our group were not able to swim as all of the slots were taken, and all spa appointments were booked weeks in advance. * There are a lot of children and families around the park. As such, there are a lot of rules for noise/entertainment (which is fair!), but just worth being aware of in case your group would prefer an adults-only experience. We enjoyed the space and appreciated the proactive communications from the host!

River front unique stylish home with free parking
Great location and communication from host

Lovely Lakeside lodge for families and friends
We had a great time at Sharon’s home. The hosts were very proactive in communicating with us, the house was great, very spacious, clean and great amenities. The surroundings by the lakes was also perfect for our trip! We hope to come back in the future.

Liming Lodge - Lakeside holiday in the Cotswolds
Lovely property well kept, made for a great base to explore the local area on foot and bike. Enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake.

Waddle-On-Inn. A Lakeside Turret with Hot Tub
Stayed for 3 nights for a get together with old friends. Weather was lovely and so we sat straight by the lake with a beer and spit of fishing. The views are fantastic and the surroundings are beautiful. Inside the place was spotless with lots of Room even with 5 of us inside. All the amenities we required were on hand. Good WiFi meant we were all able to communicate without any issues. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Pure bliss! Walked over to the old boat house for a meal and drinks and then also walked to the Eliot arms for another great meal out. Didn’t want it to end. Would highly recommend this to either a family or group of friends. Awesome!

Lake’s End Lodge.
Such a lovely lodge with views over the lake. Plenty of outdoor space to relax in the sunshine. Short walk to the Boathouse restaurant and Pizzaria. Will definitely return.

Upstairs River Apartment
Came back for my second stay a combination of work and leisure. Place is so well fitted out and on the docks with great views. Near shops and restaurants.

Reed Warbler HM111 Penthouse Lake Retreat & Spa
I had a birthday weekender with friends and the apartment is really lovely and suited us perfectly. Not just clean, but comfortable too with everything you need. The host is great and helpful. It all made the stay so much more enjoyable. 100% would recommend.

Ground Floor Flat - Wye Valley AONB/Forest of Dean
Great place to stay, thank you. Everything we needed was there, great location with the little shop next door and passing a lidl on the way from Monmouth. The pubs with nice food and atmosphere. We were lucky with the weather so enjoyed eating in the courtyard. It was also perfect for us with the canoes and finishing at Redbrook. Will definitely be recommending it as a place to stay for friends and family.

Beautiful first floor flat with balcony
Great place to stay for both work and pleasure. Parking right outside the front door. Walking distance of shops and restaurants. Turn left out of the property and you’re on the river. Turn right out the property, cross the road and you’re at the abbey. Perfect.

The Hideaway @ Flagham Cottage.
The Hideaway was perfect for our stay. Very clean and modern with ample storage in the bedroom. We found the information provided on places to visit and where to eat very useful along with helpful instructions on how to access the lake from the accommodation. The patio doors from the living area do overlook the owners garden but the beautiful view of the lake more than compensates. There is a private courtyard area with seating to the left of the entrance for guests who require more privacy. All in all a very relaxing place to stay after a busy day exploring as well as lovely walks on your doorstep. We would be more than happy to return.

Flat 1 - The Old Mill - Bowbridge Lock - Stroud
This is a great flat, located right next to the canal with easy walk into Stroud or along the valley. Comfy bed, excellent shower, good kitchen and local info. We really couldn't have found a better place and would definitely be happy to stay again.

Beautiful Waterfront Apartment, Gloucester Docks
What a gem of a find in Gloucester! Apartment is close walk to the quays and town and situated near everything you would need! Was a lovely open plan apartment that catered to all our needs. Pavol was an amazing host checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay and everything was alright! Will definitely be booking back with them when we visit Gloucester in the future!

Lovely 2 bed apartment next to Abbey and River
