Waterside Studio flat - Sleeps 2 - Central&Parking
We had a wonderful stay in Susie's flat. Its location is ideal: very easy to find, close to everything on foot and magical with its little patch of garden in front of the river where we can watch the swan that has taken up residence in front of it. Susie was kind enough to allow us to drop off our luggage early on our arrival so that we could start our visits while waiting for the housework to be done. The flat is spotlessly clean and comfortable and I don't think I've ever seen an Airbnb kitchen so well equipped. The milk in the fridge, savoury biscuits for aperitifs and sweet biscuits for tea were also much appreciated. If we come back to Stratford-upon-Avon this is where we want to stay as of all the accommodation I have had in the town, this is my favourite.

STUNNING city-centre 3 bed. River views + Parking
Great apartment! Very easy to find and clear check in and check out details. It is a huge apartment so as a group you have loads of space. Our stay was great thanks to Charlotte! It was slightly noisy at some points in the night but it may have been because it was a bank holiday weekend. Didn’t bother us and was expected due to such a central location.

Beautiful waterfront penthouse
A beautiful place, easy to find and felt at home immediately. Very well appointed, bathrooms and kitchen spotless and very straightforward to use. Stunning views and peaceful surroundings, all made for a very pleasant stay.

Spacious 3 Bedroom Queen Square Apartment
We had an amazing weekend at Dave’s place, met with two friends to explore Bristol and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for that, so central and everywhere was walkable, so much to do! The space was huge, felt very luxurious and full of thoughtful touches, would recommend!

Luxe Apt with River View - Next to Harbour & Cafes
Really enjoyed my stay here. It was cozy, quiet and had everything we needed for the long weekend.

Velvet Nest 5 min walk from train station
Katie was quick to respond, everything was clean and nice and instructions clear :)

Willow Warbler HM112 Penthouse Lake Retreat & Spa
Jane was an excellent host and responded to my enquiries before booking and whilst we were there. The apartment is bright and airy with a perfect balcony where you can watch the sun go down whilst listening to the birds. The spa on site is great, outdoor pool is a little fresh! You need to book a slot in advance in busy periods but Jane will send you all the details you need. We had a really relaxing stay and would stay again.

Luxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in The Docks
Great place to stay if you want to be within easy walking distance of all of the amenities. The place was clean and spotless and well presented. The heating was on so it was a bit warm when we arrived. Secure parking was a bonus albeit a bit tricky to manoeuvre in a small space. You wouldn't get a large car in and there was restricted headroom if your car had a top box. The whole apartment was well equipped although an oven glove and baking trays would have been useful and the saucepans had seen better days. Overall we would give it a 5 star rating as the issues I mentioned are really only an issue if you are cooking for yourselves. And be prepared for the seagulls as they can be a bit vocal at night. But we enjoyed our girlie break and had a super time.

Modern contemporary home in beautiful setting
Stunning property. Stayed as a family aging from two to eighty three and Sunset lodge had everything you could need for a comfortable stay away. Kitchen has everything needed and more to dine in. Modern, comfortable furnishings in spacious rooms all with lovely views of the water. Safe for children and easy to move around with a partially sighted guest with limited mobility. Michelle was a fantastic host, always responsive and provided lots of information regarding the property and site. Lovely indoor and outdoor swimming pool on site in the spa with booked slots so didn’t get too busy. Site was beautiful, quiet and calm for a relaxing short break with family.

Amazing Victorian House overlooking the docks
Jerry and Jacqui couldn’t have been more welcoming and we had a wonderful stay in their exceptional home. It is full of fascinating artifacts, brilliantly located and very comfortable. Many thanks indeed.

River front unique stylish home with free parking
Had a fab 3 night stay, great location for us, could walk everywhere. House was lovely! We didnt mind being in the middle of two pubs, both worth a visit. Thank you Debbie, hope you'll have us back again 😊

The Boathouse Stone Cottage
Perfectly located stone cottage in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon with a car space, great for a family of four or less on the riverside. The cottage provided everything needed although due to where it’s situated we were rarely at home. Definitely recommend and would return ourselves. The free boat ride was the cherry on the top of a fabulous weekend, particularly for our kids.

Lakeside IsisLake South Cerney Cotswold Water Park
Had a lovely New Years break. House was clean and comfortable. Close to local attractions and amenities in the Cotswolds would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful lakeside retreat in Cotswold Water Park
We had a lovely Easter break in this house with our family (8 adults). The weather was perfect so we enjoyed playing tennis and paddle boarding on site and walked to the pub in the village.

Luxury riverside home 4 bedrooms 5 bathrooms
We had an amazing stay here - Jane’s place is absolutely beautiful, so clean and a huge space for us all to spread out. The living room and dining table are the perfect size for everyone to get together. The best air bnb we have ever stayed in! We are already planning our next stay!

Stunning Cotswolds Lake House with Spa Heat Pool
Lovely place right on the water. Looks better than the photos. Had everything we needed in a great location with access to pool and with onsite restaurant and little shop. Perfect for a get away would come again

Central waterside
Quiet and off the beaten path, but a quick walk to town. Loved the faint sound through the window of the little river running next to the apartment. The place was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Feels like it was recently redone. We appreciated the heater in the bathroom to warm our towels. When we messaged her with a question, Lesley responded very quickly. Would love to stay there when we visit Oxford again. This place is a gem!

Crescent Green
The flat, which is beautiful, well appointed and, I think, even nicer than the photographs, was in the perfect location. Close to the long stay carpark and the town centre. Lots of guide books and pamphlets available to be able to plan your visit as soon as you arrive.

NEW! Flat with log burner & parking
Perfect location. Quiet and still only a hop, skip and a jump into Bath city centre with just a 5 minute walk. Views of the Avon river and lovely green space for a picnic at the front of the property. The accommodation is beautifully presented, spotless and welcoming with the stunning high ceilings and windows with beautiful rooftop views. Arrival and access couldn’t have been easier with clear simple instructions from the owner. Prompt, warm responses throughout booking and our long weekend stay. We had a wonderful weekend exploring Bath, river and canal walks and relaxing in your beautiful apartment. The beds and crisp white bed linen were especially high end and blissfully comfortable. Even thoughtful touches like milk, tea and coffee on arrival. Thank you for a perfect stay Dani.

Creatives Apartment on the Harbourside
Kelly was a great host and the apartment was in an amazing location and perfect for our stay

Harbour side central location
Stuart's place was super convenient, very responsive host. The location is right on the harbourside which I think is the best part of Bristol. Really thoughtful to leave a couple of treats in the kitchen for us. It definitely felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended! Thanks again!

Flat 1 - The Old Mill - Bowbridge Lock - Stroud
Wonderful stay, 15 min walk from town along the canal. Chris was very helpful and kind. A cosy little cotswolds getaway!

Cosy 1-bedroom apartment with free parking
So good we extended our stay. Very central for bus stops, shops, cafes and restaurants. Very pretty location near river and park. Other neighbours really nice. Quiet area. Came with own private car parking space - a big bonus. Well equipped kitchen. The flat had everything you need. Ben was very helpful and was always there if needed. Responded quickly to any questions. Washing machine was another bonus as many other places did not have this. Close to train station. Comfy sofa and chairs and bed. Overall felt homely. A fabulous one bedroom apartment. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely 2 bed apartment next to Abbey and River
