Home in County Leitrim
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 92 reviewsDrineyHouse , Private IndoorPool , Jetty Lake Scur
this is an excellent place for family gatherings. we were a group from 70yrs down to 4 yrs old. There is something for all ages. the cooking facilities are great for larger numbers. lots of space for people to facilitate enjoyment where there are large groups. dish washer was very useful to have. plenty of bathrooms and toilets. there are a number of local attractions. You need a car to get to them. However, there is lots to do within the surroundings of the house, should you choose. we enjoyed our time and would recommend this property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was in a lovely location within the facility with gorgeous views of the lake. The whole house was warm and cosy and had everything we needed. It really suited us with a toddler. Plenty of books and games and there were tennis rackets and table tennis bats if we needed them. Instructions from the owner were clear and she was very responsive to any questions we had. She provided us with lots of information about the surrounding area including recommendations for places to eat and attractions to visit. Thank you Jayne.

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 160 reviewsStunning Kiernan Boathouse Bowness with Hottub
Ticked all our boxes. We found the steps down to the Boathouse were a bit daunting. We are in our 70’s, my husband is disabled and my knees aren’t great and we had a suitcase and several bags! But once we opened the door into the Boathouse well, wow!! All that was soon forgotten. The view alone is fantastic,fabulous, superb, amazing, all of those. The excavation next door wasn’t a problem either. We certainly would like to return one day.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsLoch View House Glenstriven Estate
We had the most wonderful stay at Loch View House! The location is incredibly serene and scenic and the house itself is gorgeous with really thoughtful touches! The place was big enough to host all 12 of us, including kids and each room is perfectly decorated! Ema was incredibly friendly and on hand to help too! We’ve made some incredible memories that we’ll treasure forever.

Home in County Roscommon
5 out of 5 average rating, 31 reviewsDream lakehouse @ Lough Canbo
Incredible place, the pictures don’t do it justice. Upstairs is so bright, the kitchen and living area are great, the bedrooms large and comfortable. The hot tub is incredible too, especially during a snow storm as we experienced! Quick work for Lisa too who was super flexible with check in and check out items and just lovely. We’ll certainly be back!

Home in Grasmere
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviewsLuxury Lakeside Retreat with Spectacular Views
A beautiful house in a stunning location, could not think of anywhere better to spend New Year. The location was amazing, next door is currently being refurbished but this wasn’t a problem as it was the holidays, there were no workers on site. I can only imagine once this work is completed the property will be even more amazing than it is already. The gardens are magical, but the advice to be careful and watch small children is useful as it is steep and not suitable for everyone. It rained none stop while we were there (can’t help the weather) so the large hallway was great for drying the dogs snd leaving our mountain of coats, hats and boots. There was a small issue with the hot water but Kate responded immediately and sorted it out straight away. To top it off there were four separate firework displays in Grasmere which we could see from the front window, lighting up the lake. A brilliant New Year. We have already checked if it’s available for next year but someone beat us to it!

Home in South Cerney
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviewsBeautiful lakeside retreat in Cotswold Water Park
This house offers both proximity to lovely Cotswolds towns and a holiday atmosphere with easy parking, leisure activities, walking paths and so on. It worked very well for my family Christmas trip; the house is appealing and we loved the presence of so much wildlife right at the end of the jetty off the living room. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and we had a lovely time in the mist.

Apartment in Lisnaskea
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 181 reviewsTree Top Apartment
Right from the second we hit the lane I was in love, beautifully kept grounds and amazing driveway. I didn't have the chance to meet Robyn as she was busy doing clean up after that horrible storm but I had the pleasure of meeting her lovely mummy Dawn. Dawn explained everything to me very clearly including instructions on hot tub, heating and of course about the lovely wee village. I could have chatted to her all night and she even brought 2 gorgeous dogs to greet us which made my stay better. I would totally recommend staying here especially if you love forestry and lakes. Omg the shower is amazing too. You deffo have to use it 😂. The worst part of this trip was having to leave. I absolutely loved it. Everything was just perfect. Thank you for having us Robyn and lovely to have met you Dawn ❤️

Apartment in Fermanagh
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 190 reviewsRiverside setting 5 mins. walk to our island town
It was our second time staying in Susan's and Sean's and we would certainly stay again. I cannot fault the place it was cosy and warm and the fresh milk and brickies were a lovely touch. Susan went above and beyond to make our stay as seamless and comfortable as possible. With just a 5 minute walk into the town centre it was a great location with plenty of parking in front of the accommodation.

Lorraine's place was brilliant, better than we expected, the apartment was very luxurious. In a great location we could walk into the town/ city center, to the cathedral for the choir service, walk to the Albert dock, to the bars. Basically we had one of the best Christmases ever, Lorraine very kindly put a tree and decorations up for us. The views from the apartment were stunning. We would defiantly stay there again and probably will. Thanks Lorraine kind regards Graham and Julie.

Apartment in Louisburgh
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviewsLovely sea side apartment in Louisburgh
We had an amazing stay at Michael's cottage! Ann was absolutely fantastic, she greeted us with a freshly baked cake and fresh eggs from her own hens and she made sure we always had enough turf and helped us light the fire during this particularly cold spell. The cottage is warm and cosy and perfect in every detail and it's so homely we found it extremely hard to get off the comfy couch by the fire and get out to explore the beautiful surroundings, the stunning views from our windows constantly tempting us! Thank you so much, we will definitely come back!

Apartment in Dalavich
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 135 reviewsSpacious apartment, beautiful village by Loch Awe
This is a great place, right in the heart of Dalavich, at a very reasonable price. The accommodation is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts are great, friendly and informative. Dalavich is beautiful and a great place to visit. We had a fantastic time. I would stock up with provisions before you come and bring them with you though. I would highly recommend this accommodation and the location.

Cottage in Cumbria
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 267 reviewsCottage with private beach on Lake Windermere
I visited Mark and Ruth’s cottage with two friends to celebrate their birthdays and we had a lovely time! Plenty of space for us could have easily fit another 2 people. Such a cosy stay, the cottage is decorated beautifully and we were making the most of the hot tub which was a lovely bonus. Mark and Ruth were great hosts, they clearly care about their guests and want to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. Plenty of things to do, both on and off site, so could be good for all types of groups. I’d highly recommend visiting!

Cottage in Coniston
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 117 reviewsWren Cottage, lake access, pet-friendly
Last week we had the pleasure of staying in Wren Cottage for 3 nights. Prior to our arrival Daphne, was super proactive in sharing detailed information in preparation for our stay and there was further information upon our arrival, with some great recommendations for local walks, one of which we explored on our final day. Wren cottage itself was spotlessly clean, warm, cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. However the real highlight for us was its beautifully tranquil location and direct access onto the stunning Coniston lake, where we were able to fully immerse ourselves in nature through both sitting by the lakeshore and paddle-boarding. We will definitely look to return to Wren in the future and would recommend it to anybody looking for a nourishing, country escape.
