Holiday rentals with a kayak in Northern Europe

Excellent. A very special house for nature lovers, secluded in a private bay. You can only hear the birds and the sea. Sunset included. Very nice host. He even caught us fresh fish and prepared it deliciously. Unforgettable stay.

Even better than the photos. I’ve been waiting years to find a weekend at this place and it was worth it. Glorious.

In a haven of tranquility by the river, an adorable little house absolutely in line with the description of the ad, ideal for a couple, awaited us. Aleksa and Alexandre are very charming and welcoming hosts. For a future stay, we would prefer the other house at the end of their land, which has a garden and a more private terrace, offering more privacy and direct access to the river. The walk with the canoe provided is a real plus with its green and bucolic environment. The center of Chartres and its cathedral are 15 minutes away by car and the castle of Maintenon, which is worth the detour, is 35 minutes away. Loved our stay!

Thanks to Antonio for your hospitality! The villa is fully equipped with all the necessary amenities for guests (even more than you might expect). Stylish, cozy and perfect for a family vacation. We chose this accommodation to celebrate a birthday in a family circle and were completely satisfied. The hosts are always in touch and help if necessary. The girl who checked us in was friendly and explained everything clearly. The view from the pool is incredible! There are shops and bars nearby, very close. We are saving this accommodation and will definitely return, our stay will remain with us for a long time❤️

We had a lovely stay. The setting is very pretty, peaceful, in the heart of nature. The accommodation is very well equipped, the sauna and the pool are very enjoyable. Warning: those sensitive to insects should refrain.

Hans and Emily's house is a real gem! Everything has been thought of, there is everything you need and more. The rooms are beautiful and the house has a special charm. A travel cot and high chair were provided for our daughter, there are games for children and adults - so even in bad weather there is no room for boredom. Charging the electric car also worked perfectly (for a more than fair fee). The communication with Hans during the stay was very friendly and helpful. All in all, a really great place to stay with so many options that we hope to try out on our next visit (canoeing, BBQ, swimming etc). Many thanks to Emily and Hans and all the best!

What a beautiful place and such a lovely host; nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel right at home. What more could you ask? Historic building with all amenities, panoramic views of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, friendly host/dogs/cats and even a chicken!! We'll definitely be back! Kath, Joe, Anne and Ken 🥰

Beautiful house with incredible view and wonderful hostess

A Norwegian accommodation, as it is in the book! We really felt very comfortable and were sad when we had to move on. Sitting by the water in the evening and enjoying the view, starting point for various hikes or walks into the village - we were never bored. Despite the steep staircase, it is also highly recommended for families with small children: there are stair gates, a high chair and the animals in the garden are an attraction. Helen is very friendly and always helps. Thank you, happy to come back!

We were warmly greeted by Alain and Clair on arrival – they couldn’t have been more welcoming, and their kindness really set the tone for our stay. The setting was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, a real escape from the hustle and bustle. The highlight for us was sitting and looking out at the river and waterfall right next to the property – the view was stunning and the sound of the water was so soothing. We left feeling completely relaxed and recharged. Highly recommended!

We had high expectations from poring over photos and reviews of Banc-yr-Eithin prior to our stay and it somehow managed to exceed them. The cottage and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and the facilities are incredible, you want for nothing during your stay here. Highlights include watching the birds at the feeders, the treehouse, the underfloor heating in the bathroom, the sauna, the games room in the barn, waking to the sound of birdsong, I could go on! Sussanah and Hugh are the perfect hosts, they were incredibly helpful both prior to and during our stay. We were staying with a relative with health issues and limited mobility and they were extremely helpful in ensuring that he was comfortably accommodated. They dealt with this issue with compassion, discretion and kindness. We were incredibly grateful to get to sample Hugh's cinnamon buns and they did not disappoint! They were delicious and much appreciated. Thank you for an incredible stay, we can't wait to return soon!

The accommodation is very quiet with a wonderful view. The numerous details immediately show how much love and effort has been invested. It almost feels like you're living in a work of art. If I had to give a recommendation to newcomers to Sweden, art lovers or a group, it would be this!

Our stay in this comfortable and well-equipped cottage near Gothenburg was simply great! The house is quietly located, perfect to escape the stress of everyday life and offers everything you need for a pleasant stay. The furnishings are modern and well thought out, so we felt comfortable right away. The surroundings are beautiful and invite you to take relaxing walks. We would definitely come back and can only highly recommend this vacation home.

Great and cozy place to stay. We felt very comfortable. If you had any questions, Per was easy to reach and gave great tips for the area and good fishing spots. We'll be back.

We had a great time at Jennifer's place. Even with mixed weather in early June, the place provided enough space and opportunities (well equipped kitchen, spacey living room, sauna) to spend time even during rain.

We had a very lovely stay in Jisp with Esther and Marc. Spacious accommodation in such a peaceful location. Our hosts were fantastic, so accommodating and helpful. We made the best of the weather with several days of cycling and relaxing. Public transport is excellent as to be expected. We would love to come back and explore more of North Holland.

Hi y'all We enjoyed our fishing holiday with Karin, Leon & Marcus very much. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and always easy to reach. In addition, we were able to rent the fishing boats, which was perfect for us. The house was super equipped and the surroundings were beautiful. Love to come back! :)

Joan's house nestles among similar properties just above the main street through Lochcarron offering fantastic views and an open aspect of the Loch and hills beyond. There are sliding doors onto a very well presented decking and seating area. There is a small very clean outdoor sauna to the side of the decking but we didn't have an opportunity to use it. There was ample comfortable seating in the living area and a large dining table both again with fantastic views. The kitchen is a good size and has all the required appliances. The bedrooms are all comfortable with clean fresh bedding and good beds. The bathroom has a wetroom floor and shower area for easy access. Joan was very communicative before our stay and provided great instructions for entry etc. We were staying for Celtman 0.5, it's only a 20 min drive to Shieldaig which makes this a good location for Celtman reccie trips or race days. I would certainly stay here again and would happily recommend it.

Great stay at Christoffer’s place - a real gem and we cannot wait to go back. Christoffer’s hospitality is amazing and we felt extremely welcomed and at home for our entire stay. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to visit again!

If you are looking for peace, original nature and a very loving host family, you will definitely find it here :-) The direct location on the fjord is a dream, we were immediately enchanted. We felt very welcome from the first moment anyway, Therese gave us recommendations for the area and we even got tickets to the opera in the village. Helpful and very friendly family, the communication was great and also the cozy cottage with surroundings perfect. Absolutely recommended and we will be happy to come back :-)

Very cozy place. Beautiful view. Nice owner

This place is an absolute gem! It’s so incredibly cozy and remote and the hosts have thought of everything. They were very responsive if we had any concerns or questions. The hot tub is a little bit of work if you want to use it. Don’t be stubborn like my husband and try to start the fire for it in the rain, but beautiful once you get it going. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful Norwegian stay.

The cabin is gorgeous and the view is even better. Everything was sparkling clean and it's clear that the host takes good care of the place – every last detail is thought out. Highly recommended!

An exceptional stay in a true corner of paradise. A warm host, an unusual hut, an island apart. Recommended without hesitation!
