Holiday rentals with beach access in British Isles

Great views and flat - second time around for me - suspect there will be a third given it's a such a wonderful weekend escape from London.

Howard's place is spot on .Nice touch with the bottle of prosecco and Victorian lemonade. Would recommend to anyone. We will be going back at some point ,10/10

We spent a couple of nights in Ian’s fabulous apartment overlooking the sea at Limeslade. I wish we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed a lovely walk along the coastal path to Langland where we had a bite to eat for lunch. Listening to the sound of the sea at night was special and being in such a beautiful apartment made our mini break just wonderful. Thank you Ian. Liz

We had a lovely 5 night stay here, and it was everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, light, comfortable, well equipped, and has a wonderful view of Portreath Beach. Katherine was very helpful and responded very quickly to messages. We would stay again.

This was my second stay at Genevieve’s and it was just as gorgeous as I remember. With such a great location right on the sea front you can’t go wrong, and the property really feels like home. Already looking forward to our next visit!

The location of this rental is breathtaking, literally a few steps from the beach and it really is. Wide constantly changing skies, the sea, the mountains, the birds….all seen from the huge glazed doors. The place itself is tiny but you have everything you need and such a clever use of space and nice and warm. Bed, duvet and bed linen all super comfortable and luxurious. The welcome basket is extremely generous and hosts super friendly too. I loved the local toiletries so much I went and bought my own!

My husband, 10-year-old daughter and myself have just returned from a truly amazing week, the property is beautiful, with facilities that far exceeded expectations. We had such a relaxing time; the beds are super comfy; led in bed looking out to sea with a coffee in the morning was a true highlight. The gardens are beautifully kept and being gated and private we had no worries with our daughter playing out. The walk down to Watcombe Beach, albeit steep on the way back up but 100% worth it; we took our paddleboard down and went swimming on a number of occasions, the water is very calm, on 2 occasions we were in the water and within 20ft off us were 2 seals! The hot tub was perfect, lovely fluffy robes provided to keep off the chill. We used the BBQ each evening and ate out on the patio. Susan is an incredible host, nothing is too much trouble, very informative and exceedingly helpful, she really did enhance our stay and made us feel as if we were staying in a home from home.

A beautiful apartment in a beautiful area. Everything we needed was there. Easy walk to the pier/water. Super, super comfy furnishings and spotlessly clean. Beds were so comfy and the 'attic' bedroom was very very cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer! Mary was so communicative and kind & understanding. Amazing to find a spot this great that will allow a baby and a dog. We will be back!

Tigh A'Mhulillin is a beautiful and peaceful place. We've just spent a week enjoying spectacular weather and scenery and observing the wildlife from the house. The house is immaculate, well equipped and extremely comfortable with lovely touches. Jamie has thought of everything. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay, Jamie was very responsive and very helpful! The house was absolutely stunning, we felt right at home and everything we needed was provided. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again! Thank you.

We had the most wonderful week at the Rocket House. James has created the most wonderfully welcoming and enjoyable space. The house was truly more beautiful than we anticipated. It had everything we needed. The amenities were functional and well-appointed. The whole house was well-suited for our needs and was incredibly livable. My favorite part was the windows. If I have to clean up from dinner, the view made it so much more enjoyable. Additionally, the house was spotless and easily accessible. Check-in and check-out were super easy. Also, learning about the history of the house made it more meaningful to discover the specialness of the location and the house's origins. I CANNOT say enough good things about the location. The SW Coast Path is literally just outside the door. The views were stunning. Working with James was a joy. He was communicative, informative, and accommodating. I have already sent this listing to multiple friends!

We had a beautiful long weekend in this gorgeous cottage. Stunning views, close to plenty of amazing beaches, drives and walks with a great village just minutes away. Gareth was incredibly helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome and at home. Will definitely be back!

Michaels place was absolutely incredible.. the house, the views and everything in between! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Kerry was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Michael was very responsive and gave us recommendations to do. My kids enjoyed playing outside all day. Also, loved all the big windows in the house and having a fantastic view from each one! Would love to come back and stay again one day! Thank you again for the lovely stay!

We had a super family weekend. Pauline's house was very well equipped, recently updated, very comfortable, spacious, and an amazing view of the sea, beach and Donegal beyond! We look forward to returning!

David's place was our favourite during this one week holiday in Scotland. The location is amazing and seeing the water from the livingroom and bedroom windows was wonderful. However, what made it stand apart from other accommodations was the interior design: every single space inside the house is tasteful and cosy, and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. Everything was clean and the quality of towels, soaps and shower gels are five star hotel level. David and Amanda are great hosts, very friendly and thoughtful, and it is evident that the comfort of their guests is their priority - also, we were delighted to meet them in person. We were sorry to leave after only one day there and will be happy to go back when next in Scotland.

We had a really wonderful stay . John was a great host . It was a perfect base from which to explore The Burren . We found the kitchen very well equipped and enjoyed cooking some of our meals in so that we could relax and enjoy the view and also had Very comfortable beds .

We loved our stay at Cobbler View. The setting was beautiful and such a lovely place to come back to after a day exploring. The accommodation was clean and cosy and very well equipped. Carol and Don were excellent hosts and welcomed us on arrival but left us to enjoy our stay. We knew they were available if we needed them. Thank you!

My wife and I were initially attracted by the view over the Firth of Clyde. The apartment was very comfortable and cosy and not lacking in space. In spite of being on the main road, it is set back and the bedroom is to the rear, so very peaceful with a view over the back garden. The kitchen was fully equipped and stocked with more than a few basics to get you started. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Patricia is a great host.

Wonderful seafront apartment with amazing views, just as described. Very clean, well appointed and central to everything in Oban. Hope to return one day!

Bridie was fantastic, met us at check-in and suggested where to go for dinner - she also helped us map our route to the Cliffs of Moher the next day via the ferry. She was so kind and we felt right at home. The cottage is fantastic. I just wish we spent more than one night!

Mary was so lovely and welcoming. She was easily contactable and so warm and friendly. We were keen to have a bit of privacy and she left us to our own devices to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location of the apartment is really spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub looking out on the lake was a real highlight of the trip.

Staying at Elaine's place for 3 days was an unforgettable moment. Fresh eggs and homemade bread every day and breakfast in the fridge. Elaine is a very respectful person for the well-being of her guests . It gives good places to go according to our desires. I'll be back with Happiness at Elaine's place.

One of the most, (if not the most), beautifully located places we’ve ever stayed. The house was spotless and well-equipped with amenities. Rosie was a brilliant host and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. I'm so glad we decided here rather than staying in the town, which we were at first considering. Can't recommend this place enough!

We had an excellent stay, the hosts are very hospitable and friendly. Good value for money. Clean place and very private. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is visiting the region.
