Kid-friendly holiday rentals in British Isles

2nd visit and well worth it. Quite and tranquil space to enjoy

Katie’s charming home near the red castle ruins was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace and magic. The cottage was beautifully kept, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable—every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel at home. The setting is something out of a storybook. Waking up next to the historic ruins and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a day of travel. Our kids were thrilled with the darts and ping pong, and everyone slept like a dream—so quiet, so cozy. If Scotland weren’t so far away, we’d be back in a heartbeat. This may be the only trip we ever take as a family to Scotland, and we’re beyond grateful that Katie’s magical cottage was part of our journey. Thank you for everything!

Joe was an amazing host it was our first holiday away and for my little dog to we got ourselves bit lost gave Joe a call it wasn’t a problem he gave very good instructions and we found him and had the best greeting from Joe and Ernie the cottage was absolutely stunning the grounds are breath taking it’s literally a slice of heaven my little dog loved his stay just as much and his new friend Ernie Joe was incredible the whole time couldn’t of asked for better at all we have booked our second stay already it was that amazing keep it up Joe it’s truely amazing

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!

Georgina’s place was really beautiful- it’s like an interior decorator had been at work! Just lovely. Every part of the cottage was stunning. Massive, well appointed kitchen, sitting room like something from a magazine and two beautiful bedrooms with very large en suite bathrooms. Again, beautifully decorated- really felt like a very up market boutique hotel. My sister said it was the best Airbnb she’d ever stayed in. Really lovely countryside all around and a great place to use as a base for our long walks. The fact you can bring your dog is so great. Close enough to Aldi to stock up but secluded enough to feel rural. Georgina was very helpful - had left milk, bread, eggs, jam etc for us. Such a lovely touch. I’d love to stay here again.

Wonderful as always and great for our two spaniels. So peaceful listening to the birds in the back garden.

We had the most amazing time. The accommodation is really like no other. Such a unique experience. I would highly recommend it. The bed was so comfortable, bathrooms so clean and spacious, and has a bath to die for. The battery operated lights around the inside of the house were a lovely touch. If you feel cool in the evenings the accommodation heats up within 20 minutes, so quick. The hot tub was a treat, the location of it is amazing, the fairy lights along the path to the hot tub was magical. The scenery is so beautiful regardless of the weather conditions. Location wise it was perfect, so close to all that glendalough has to offer. We ate in the Wicklow heather as recommended by Michael, this place will not disappoint. Michael was so cooperative and very friendly. I will definitely be back!!!!! You will not be disappointed 🥰

Another lovely stay at Frank’s cottage. Beautiful views and stunning scenery. The cottage is very comfortable throughout and cosy even on wintery rainy days. Thx Frank for your rapid and clear communication and no doubt we will be back yet again on another occasion!!!

We had a fabulous few days staying at The Stables. Breda and Joe have a lovely country property. We love the goodie left for us from Breda. Scones and bread both home made. The cottage is so well equipped with most things you’d need to get by but a Centra only a few minutes away has lots of options. The bed was so comfortable as were the pillows and the fluffiest feather doona. The cottage is heated but we felt we didn’t need heating on as it’s very warm inside anyway but great if it turns cold. A bonus is the washer and dryer, we’d not been able to wash for several day so felt like all home comforts were covered. We loved the kitchen and dining area, great for preparing our meals. Breda has a vegetable and herb garden which she was happy for us to use, I made good use of salad stuff and herb. We got to meet Joe who was brings the horses back into the sheds, we got to see an 8 day old foal, such a highlight for me coming from Australia’s beach scene. We highly this place Fiona

Dave was a great host and provide all the information we needed to stay at is wonderful apartment. Amazing location!

Phoebe and James' apartment is beautiful, spotlessly clean, with a fantastic view over the bay. Would love to return there in the future.

What a stunning location, looking out on the sea. I spent ages looking at the birds but sadly no sight of dolphins etc. The bothy was so lovely and had everything necessary for a great stay. I hope to return. Thank you

Stunning place with an incredible view of the City. The host was very friendly and accommodating . Very peaceful and calm surroundings and easily found. The place was clean and felt like home. We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend it, the hot tub was a bonus!

The flat is just stunning like the picture and it’s exactly what we wanted for the weekend in Hastings. Recommended it very much!

We absolutely loved the snug. It’s stunning , would recommend to anyone. Host is super helpful and responsive. Gorgeous place to stay in Kendal. The snug is exactly how it looks in photos.

Well….where do i begin…this place is above 5star!!! Me and my husband went for a little 3 night break after our wedding for some quiet time after the madness of a wedding… the flat on arrival was just perfect…there is no other word for it!!! The host knew why we were going and went the extra mile to put some personal touches in place for us, for when we arrived. Things like ballon’s, lights, banners roses, cup cakes, chocolate…even down to a congratulations card. The list could go on. Not only was there all of the above, but the fridge was fully stocked for all the essential items you may need, this little thought went a long way…variety of snacks, cold cans of pop and bottled water also on the fridge. We were so thrown by this, as we have stayed in many places in the past but not one has ever gone this far to make there guests feel at home. An this is how we felt “at home” And the place was spotless…we literally have not one bad thing to say!!! Apart from we didn’t want to leave!!

Probably one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in. Set in a beautiful location and exactly as photos portray it. Great attention has been paid to making it as comfortable as possible. Hosts were very welcoming and welcome pack was much appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend and hope to return.

We had a lovely stay in Dunoon, it is a very quiet a peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay. Paddy is friendly and helpful and her dog is beautiful and very sweet. Both beds were very comfortable, the shower was warm and powerful and the homemade bread was a great touch- we thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you again :)

Miranda was a great host! Very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her place is a hidden gem. Easy to get on the Ring of Kerry and beautiful walks in the area. Thank you Miranda for the wonderful stay ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at No Eleven The Iron Works, even before our break started we had great communication from Glyn, with lots of recommendations. We arrived to an extremely thoughtful gift basket with lots of treats ( the jelly beans were delicious ) The apartment is beautifully decorated with lots of great touches, we really appreciated that we had everything we needed, we only ate out one evening because we felt so comfortable in the apartment. Nothing was too much trouble for Glyn and his wife. I cannot recommend a stay here enough and we will be back. Thank you so much to both Glyn and his wife for making our stay so amazing.

we had a night at this apartment and we enjoyed it , highly recommend.

Ben’s apartment is very comfortable and stylish. The location in the Titanic Quarter was perfect for us. We could walk downtown and to the Titanic Belfast museum. We could just leave our car parked while we were in Belfast. There is a small grocery store on the ground level of the apartment complex. The breakfast food and goodies that Ben provided were much appreciated. The washer/dryer was great for us on a three week road trip in Ireland. This is a lovely place to stay.

Lovey apartment to stay in. With all the amenities and great little touches you would appreciate and more!!! Great helpful hosts would definitely recommend!

We spent two nights at The Butler's Basement for my husband's birthday and it was an ideal base. We did have an issue getting in as the lockbox didn't work, but her son came down and resolved the issue. The apartment was very clean and in a great area - some lovely bars and restaurants that we preferred to spend time in, more than the busier side of Edinburgh. Gemma was very responsive to my messages and we also had a bottle of fizz in the fridge as well as some short bread and chocolate. It might be an idea to put a small bottle of milk in the fridge, as we did have tea and coffee provided but didn't want to buy a whole pint of milk to make a couple of drinks. However it certainly wasn't an issue that would stop us staying again!
