Stunning house overlooking Loch Tay
A truly wonderful property set in serene, tranquil surroundings. The atmosphere is calm and refreshing—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

Coach House near the beach
Great find! Was really impressed with this place and it was perfect for what we needed for the weekend. Had everything you could think of, even toys and games for children, as well as a complimentary basket of goodies for us when we arrived! We enjoyed the juke box the most and listened to lots of songs on there! The house fitted 7 of us comfortably and was very clean! Lee was very proactive and ensured we had a great stay - thank you!

‘Tigh na ba’, Loch Etive, Argyll
The promise of the view was fabulous and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for a peaceful and secluded place, this is the place. It is not perfectly placed if you are looking for tourist places to visit but the place is enough for itself for a few nights and it is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the calm. The bedrooms and living rooms are very beautiful and well decorated. Thank you for providing a beautiful home like this.

Lovely Lakeside Home private jetty, kayak and BBQ
We had a very enjoyable stay with the family for a major birthday celebration. The accommodation and location are really lovely. The kayaks with life jackets were available. We had a few minor cleanliness issues which couldn't be resolved during our stay but we did receive modest compensation. One observation; the ladder style steps up to the mezzanine are very steep and not suitable for young children on their own and the beds up there are too small for fully grown adults or tall teenagers!. This is not addressed in the spec of the accommodation. We ate at a local restaurant, The Crown at Ampney Brook. Food and service exemplary.

Beautiful lakeside retreat in Cotswold Water Park
Fantastic house and location. Views were incredible. Very well equipped house. Host were super responsive too. Thanks for an amazing stay.

Hallington Mill- Idyllic 6 Bedroomed Rural Retreat
The photos do not do the place justice - it is absolutely beautiful and so thoughtfully decorated. So much bigger than it looked online too and we had a great stay. The only issue we had was that the hot water stopped working mid way through the day. Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive to the problem but we had to be in Newcastle for early evening so it meant 6 of our party had to have freezing cold showers one day as the water took too long to come back on. Other than that, I can’t fault it. Surroundings are beautiful. So peaceful and yet close to shops, airport (25 mins), a gorgeous spa (matfen hall), and a 35 min minibus to Newcastle. Would recommend to all.

Aros Rhu - Private Luxury Retreat With Loch Views
Superb property. The house was very comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms all a good size and plenty of living space. The views across the loch are amazing. The kids loved playing hide and seek in the large garden, which is very private and not overlooked. We should have made more of the outside patio with the well appointed garden furniture. Lynn the host sent us really useful info about things to do and places to eat in the area. We did quite a few and they were all great recommendations. She also responded to queries about activities really quickly and checked in to make sure everything about our stay was going ok. Location is really good. Easy access to nearby Rhu and Helensburgh. We found it a good base from which venture out for a range of activities and big enough to spend time in the garden and house - and enjoy the views. A great property and brilliant host. We would highly recommend.

Water views, log burner, walking, fishing, sailing
Wow what a location and property! We were so excited to arrive and were overjoyed when our high expectations were exceeded! This really is a spot of magic, the views, scenery and local walks are unbeatable and the cottage is truly beautiful inside, with everything you would need for a luxury relaxing stay. We have already talked of when to return. Sunrises from the back garden were spectacular.

Perfect base for Snowdon, family and dog friendly
Absolutely wonderful stay. The house is actually perfect, and in amazing location. Clean, tidy and kept to a fabulous standard. The house is well stocked with extras you may need, like a first aid box for a clumsy toddler, stair gate, high quality toiletries that were better than the ones I use 😂 and communication the entire time was brilliant. I’ll definitely be booking this as a yearly holidays for us all ❤️

Malachite Lakehouse | Hot Tub & Dog Friendly
The accommodation was superb! However, please note that we had booked it for a group of 8 men participating in the Ultra Challenge 53km charity walk. The group may have made a bit of noise, though we did our best to keep it to a minimum. We also tried to be mindful with the use of the hot tub.

43 Clearwater, Lower Mill Estate + Pools + Spa
absolutely wonderful place, very spacious, big and catered for all our needs. peaceful & beautiful area, amenities little over priced. kids loved the pool, had fun, lovely location, feel very safe. Thank you

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding
A beautiful house in a lovely setting, great for family get togethers, location right on the lake was amazing, & easy access to lovely local town of Glenridding for essentials. Wide range of facilities at the cottage, we really enjoyed the private outdoor eating area next with the wood fired outdoor grill. Very nice well appointed kitchen with quality appliances, bathrooms clean and with quality fittings. Outside garden/woodland area was perfect for us and our dog, although the many steps and steep paths would not suit everyone, but this factor is clearly explained in the information host provides. We found some rooms a little dark, especially on a rainy day but there are some lovely lamps which can be moved around if required. Overall I would recommend this cottage as a great place to stay & enjoy the lake district and all it has to offer.

Spacious apartment with stunning Lakeland views.
We’re just home after a very lovely stay in the most beautiful location. Louise communicated well and provided us with a pristine place to stay with everything we could wish for to make us feel at home. The apartment has the most amazing views from every room and is very comfortable and well equipped. There are so many lovely places to visit in the area, some walkable from the accommodation, that we definitely need to visit again. We would have no hesitation in recommending this air bnb - it’s one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you Louise and Mick 😊

Three Bedroom House on an English Country Estate
Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful area. The house was spotless and even bigger than the photos show! It was perfect for 4 adults and my 16 month old daughter. Stuart sent great instructions through and loads of information about the local area, although we actually loved the house and grounds so much that we didn’t venture any further - we had a lovely few relaxing days in the house and walks around the woodland. My daughter even got to feed the goats. Will definitely come back, and will do a summer visit too as the pool looked beautiful.

Rock Cottage, Highland Perthshire Rural Retreat
Rock Cottage was a great ‘study camp’ for my daughter in the run-up to her exams. The house was immaculate and very much a home from home. The beds were very comfortable. The highlight, though, is outdoors - the wild garden is enchanting and full of bird life - we loved sitting in the sun room watching the swallows outside, followed by the bats at dusk. It’s in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to Kenmore or Aberfeldy for shops and restaurants. We’d love to be back!

Seventh Heaven: Swimming lake, BBQ Hut, Games Room
It’s my second time staying at Foxt Cottages in Froghall , this time with my mom and dad, and we absolutely loved everything about it. The cottage was charming, clean, and cozy – a real home away from home. The peaceful surroundings and beautiful countryside made it the perfect place to unwind and spend quality family time. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a lovely setting. I also recommend the willow cruise if you have time as high tea was just dreamy on the canal boat !

Luxury waterside wharf house 200m to beach
A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

Shoreland Lodges - Holly Lodge
Really loved this spot! Close to a lot but private as well. Highly recommend

Waterfront quayside house by the beach St Ives Bay
Beautiful place! Would 100% stay again! We requested decorations to be put up for arrival as it was my mams 50th birthday. We sent decorations but they weren’t put up when we arrived. We spoke with Malcolm about this and he came straight over the next morning to do this while we were out and left some beautiful cupcakes, helped us rectify the heating as it was very hot, and was available at all times when we needed! Beautiful place! Very local to lots of shops and very close to the train station: beautiful views!

Cormorant - Lake Shore Luxury
We stayed for a week for my partners birthday and had the most incredible time. The views were stunning and you could just sit all day and watch the wildlife on the lake! Beds were comfy and had all the amenities you needed. We didn’t want to leave!

Luxurious and Peaceful Lakeside House, Clitheroe
Absolutely fantastic stay! One of the best properties we've stayed in. Stunning location, had everything we needed inside and out, top spec facilities and Abbi was a great host. No doubt we'll be returning in the future :)

Fairytale Highland Lodge with Private Loch
A truly royal vacation 8 of us just enjoyed a great time in this magical place. I am wheelchair bound so it was great being on one level. The accessible shower was also great. The place is just like the pictures. Very beautiful. We were blessed with good weather a few days we were there and a number of our party braved the loch. It was an experience and quite cold but worth it. It’s very remote and you have to travel about 2 miles on a bumpy dirt track to get to the house, but it’s part of the appeal. The views are just awesome. From the house there are trails and you can hike up high hills. If not high enough Ben Nevis is a drive away and some of us I did the climb. Overall a memorable holiday and we would love to come again.
