Willow Cottage Dromara
We really enjoyed our stay at Claire' cottage, was exactly like the photos and description and Claire was very helpful. Thanks

The Nest Cottage Omeath near Carlingford (Hot tub)
The “Nest” Cottage with hot tub was the ideal location and setting for a trip with friends. It was perfect, we can’t recommend it enough. Jackie,the host was incredible to deal with, always so quick to respond and extremely helpful. She couldn’t do enough for us and we were very grateful 😀 Already planning a trip back.

2 bed /2 bath luxury barn conversion with hot tub
This was our second stay in Sarnau and we enjoyed our four nights as much as our first visit. The property is just lovely. In a beautiful location. Peaceful but easy to get to places. It’s extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean and with fabulous hosts where nothing is too much trouble. We find it a great location to do lots in the area and this time we visited the coast twice which is less than an hour away. Highly recommend and we hope to be back.

Secluded Private Cottage Hot-tub, Sauna & Fire-pit
My wife and I had a lovely time at a charming little cottage. The atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed the sauna and hot tub immensely. We also liked having a bonfire outside for extra warmth and fun. Although it rained during our stay, we found that the cottage had good sound systems and a TV. This allowed us to listen to music and enjoy a wonderful evening indoors. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing getaway! :)

Cottage & Pool House Yorkshire Dales Littondale
We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

Carren Bach Cottage With Hot Tub Cabin and BBQ Deck
I think this might be the best air b&b we’ve ever stayed in! So peaceful & beautiful. All the amenities you would need. We were in search of a peaceful get away with lots of great scenery, and suitable to bring our 1 year old. It hit the brief perfectly and more. It’s even better than the pictures. Thanks for a great stay, looking forward to coming again.

Beautiful cottage, amazing views, Finnish hot tub
A return stay with David and Elin, fabulous as always. Such friendly and genuine people they do everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Fantastic accommodation, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Everything high quality. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub with just birdsong and the fantastic views for company. So relaxing, and Harlech a short walk away with cafes and independent shops. Hope to be back again next year.

Riverside stone cottage, stunning mountain views
My husband and I (and our two dogs) had our mini-moon here and it was just the relaxing break we needed. The dogs settled straight away and it's the most sleep we've had in years. Lisa was super helpful throughout and we couldn't have been more grateful for our beautiful stay away. Thanks again, Laura xx

Ramble & Fell
Beautiful cottage - comfortable, cosy and equipped with everything you’ll need for a great stay. Lots of lovely original features - especially the wonderful bath and shower! Beautiful bedrooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Peaceful location and conveniently located. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for your stay in the Lakes!

The Kylesku Kabin- luxurious wilderness
We really enjoyed our stay. The kabin was spacious, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and made cooking easy. It was great to havethe basic items such as soap, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll and so on. The view was wonderful especially when a bright, uplifting rainbow appeared. We saw deer too which with the binoculars were clear to see. The beds were comfortable and the bedding spotless. Thank you Sonia and the team, it was everything that we hoped for. And a special thank you to Liz for giving us such a warm welcome.

The Nook Cottage In The Heart Of Northumberland
Nook Cottage is a beautifully presented cottage with all that’s needed for a short stay. The quality of the cottage is superb and had all we needed. Brynne and John are fantastic hosts; there are excellent guides and notes produced by them in the cottage plus information on activities and attractions throughout the area, including extensive notes on restaurants and local produce shops. We went on numerous walks; the cottage is ideally located for some of the best preserved parts of Hadrian’s wall and so many choices for exploring that part of our history from here. Brynne and John have provided dozens of books in the cottage for leisure reading and information, with their guides and the books one would never be short of inspiration for any activities. We would strongly recommend Nook cottage, a great place to stay.

Peaceful lochside Highland retreat
If you need peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It was a perfect location to just absorb nature. The picture windows allowed us to gaze at the loch to our heart's content. We didn't miss having a tv and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Many hike were within easy access of the home and we made the most of it. It is very cozy and easy to feel at home.

Lakeland cottage in Dockray by Ullswater & Keswick
Super friendly and helpful host. The cottage was spotless and very cosy. Would definitely recommend and come back. Thank you, Ruth and Chris! We had a wonderful time.

Cosy cottage with spectacular sea view
We had a lovely few days at Mison’s place. A really comfortable, spotless cottage with a fantastic view over the sea. The deck area is super and perfect relaxing or watching the sunset. Mison had left helpful local information, which made our stay even better by enjoying local eateries. We would all happily return to explore the area further. Thank you Mison.

Converted Chapel, lake access, pet friendly
We loved our stay at the Chapel! The Chapel itself is beautiful with everything you’d need and expect, with very helpful labels and instructions so you can make yourself right at home! The location and views of the lake are superb and the nearby footpath leads you directly into Coniston along the lakeshore (4 miles each way) Daphne was a great host and always super responsive to any questions we had. The option of the canoe rental was a nice addition to take advantage of the private lakeshore area directly accessible from the Chapel. Loved it!

Cute, Cosy & Stylish Bothy Cottage, near Sherborne
We enjoyed our stay at the Bothy Cottage. It's located in a peaceful village where the majority of what you will hear is bird song. We appreciated the garden which gave the cottage a very secluded feeling. Everything was as described and we're glad we booked our stay in Dorset here. We especially appreciated all the detailed instructions, history of the cottage and the welcome note and bubbly waiting for us when we arrived. Would recommend!

Secluded cottage in the heart of Stow on the Wold
This was by far the best place we stayed on our two week trip through England. If you are looking for a quintessential Cotswold experience this is the place for you! Catherine was friendly and greeted us on arrival as I was looking up my emailed instructions for checkin. We easily parked for free on the street in front of the home, which is the Main Street in Stow in the Wold. Then you open the door, go though a little tunnel and it opens up to a beautiful secret garden like cottage. The vacation cottage is around back through a gated area with total privacy and stunning gardens with surreal birdsong throughout your stay. The accommodations were just as pictured with a full kitchen, table, family sitting area and the bedrooms upstairs. Having 2 baths was great for our family of 4. Beds were comfy and all the linens, window coverings, etc were high quality. Extra blankets were there for chilly nights. Very clean and well kept. Would have loved to stay longer! Highly recommend!

Cassies Cottage
We really appreciated the milk, fresh scones and biscuits on arrival. Yvonne's recommendation for food and walking routes proved very helpful. We would highly recommend Caasie's cottage for an authentic stay in a thatched cottage.

Luxurious modern cottage
Our 2nd stay at mary’s house in donegal Our favorite airbnb We love the privacy and peace and quiet Mary always was available and made us feel very welcomed 15 min drive to stores and eateries Cant go wrong with this house It will become your favorite

A L’al hidden gem, in a L’al gem of a town!
We stayed at Harry's place for just one night but wished it was for longer after getting a feel for the place.The accommodation is beautifully designed with brilliant features in every corner.We had everything we needed at the cottage and Harry is a fab communicator giving us lots of helpful information.The town itself was buzzing with interesting characters and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ulverston and can't wait to return.

Mountain Ash Cottage
Nick’s cabin was perfect for getting away from London for a few days and back into nature! The place was easy to find, accessible from local airports, and matches the description exactly. The cabin itself looks recently refurbished and modern but without giving up its charm. The town of Kenmare is about a 10 minute drive away for restaurants and shops and there are several incredible hikes within a one hour drive. I highly recommend Nick’s place for anyone looking to Ireland for a weekend away (or longer) and definitely hope to be back again soon!

Newly refurbished luxury 2 bedroom cottage
We had a truly wonderful stay at Catherine’s cottage. The interior deco matched the exterior terrace cottage. Very comfortable indeed. The cottage patio was a delight for morning coffee. The garden walk to see the chickens each morning was awesome. An outdoor fireplace with el fresco dining was brilliant. I highly recommend the cottage. Catherine is an amazing host.

Beachfront home - The Annexe
We stayed for 6 nights and the annexe is perfect for myself and my partner to switch off and de stress. The weather was glorious and waking up each day to that view totally chilled us out. The setting of the annexe is stunning even the walk down to beach was prefect. Anglesey stole our hearts and so did the annexe. The sky on a clear night is something else too I have never witnessed anything like it. Sad to be leaving but will be back very soon. The annexe has everything that you need all finished to a very high standard…. Superb. Thank you to Andrew and Sarah for sharing your annexe we truly loved our stay
