The Countryside Loft in stunning rural Dorset
We had a fantastic time staying at James and Emma’s. Whilst the location is tucked away off the normal path, their clear instructions made it easy to find. Their restaurant recommendations were also great and meant we found some real gems that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. We would love to stay again if we were ever back in the area.

Beautiful Cottage in Stokenham overlooking the Sea
Lovely property and just what we and our granddaughters needed, particularly the pool ! even though the weather was not great! Thanks for being a great host Iona! The property was everything we expected and you were very responsive and helpful.

The Loft - Exceptional views, hot tub & balcony
Nicola was a great, friendly host and the accomodation was very peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely return and highly recommended!

Spacious modern property on the edge of Dartmoor
Lovely stay! Beani was extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend.

The Studio B&B Luxury Garden Room
Stayed for 1 night on a girls trip, and we had a lovely time. The photos do not do this property justice, it was lovely and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfy, room was very tidy, and the breakfast basket was lovely. Rebekah and her husband were great hosts, and very polite. Was nice to stroke the doggy’s too! Will be booking to stay again next year for another girls night away

Caister Cottage Barn
Liz and her husband were kind and responsive to all our needs. They have a relaxing and wonderful barn and a beautiful garden. A true haven. We will be back.

Perfect cycling, walking and star gazing base
Thank you Jenny and Pete, we had a wonderful stay. Your accommodation was spotless! You gave us lots of advice. We hope to return! Best wishes from the Ivanov's

Cosy, modern guesthouse perfect for visiting Bath
Lovely stay with my friend in Bath. Amanda’s place was in the perfect location with a short (10min) bus journey into the city centre. We really enjoyed the 40 minute walk via canal into the centre. Amanda’s place was spotless. Bath is such a beautiful city.

Beautiful One-bed Countryside Retreat In Bath
Excellent accommodation and location, we had a very pleasant stay. Hosts were very friendly and approachable, Chestnut Barn was very well layout, charming and homely. The bottle of wine, Bath Soft Cheese, and the breakfast Crossants were lovely and greatly appreciated. We visited Bath, Bristol and went to the Bath soft cheese farm for lunch. All very enjoyable, and well worth seeing, met up with family at local pub, and had an excellent stay. We look forward to visiting again. Many thanks Colin and Julie xx

Modern Dartington garden studio with EV charger
We’ve loved our short visit to Dartington! Beautiful South Devon countryside, friendly hosts and the studio has all you need for a self contained getaway. Lots of thought has gone into the design of the studio, high quality fixtures & fittings including nice cooker and induction hob. Thanks Ros and Pete, would definitely recommend

Characterful 2-bedroom cozy cottage with garden
We will definitely be back. Beautiful space to be in. Loved the quirkiness and the attention to detail. I feel totally relaxed after our weekend there. Thank you Laura so much. Highly recommend 🤩

The Getaway: Quaint Log Cabin on Jurassic Coast
Lovely place to stay, in a good position to visit Monkey World and the Tank Museum and quite close to Bristol Airport. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the comfortable, relaxing cabin.

Detached bungalow Nr Cardiff, Penarth & Barry
A great stay. Rebecca was a fantastic host - replied quickly and was very helpful. The accommodation was perfect. Taxis are easy to get and the city centre is a 15 minute drive away. There is a train station less than a 5 minute walk and the train is roughly 15 minutes to Cardiff central. Great location and definitely value for money. I would 100% recommend and I would 100% use again.

Arne View Lodge, South facing with Hot tub.
Such a lovely little break. We struggled finding the property at first as our satnav directed us to the wrong street but Victoria responded quickly and we soon found it. Everything you could need was provided and it was a super cosy space, it felt like a little home from home.

‘The Den’ Self contained one bedroom annexe.
We had a fabulous stay at The Den. Sue was efficient and helpful. Very clever use of space and beautiful decoration. Lots of lovely extra touches, from nespresso capsules to soft cosy blankets. We were made to feel at home right from the off. The little stream through the garden with ducks visiting was a delight. Pub serving food is walkable. We would definitely book again when in the area.

New - contemporary detached annexe in Bath
Jane was everything we could have asked for in a host. The annexe was in pristine condition. It felt like a true home away from home — beautifully presented, cosy, and immaculately clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we both slept so well during our stay. Jane went above and beyond by providing us with recommendations for local events and a thoughtfully curated guide to the best local cuisine, which really enriched our experience. We felt completely relaxed and looked after throughout our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend Jane’s place to anyone visiting the area.

Immaculate riverside Cotswold cottage - sleeps 4-6
Fantastic stay... from the minute we arrived to when we left. Marc was a great host - so helpful and couldn't have done more for us. The air b n b was perfect.. the hot tub was clean, it was so lovely in such a peaceful and idyllic location. We had everything we needed there. We wouldn't hesitate in staying again... and will highly recommend to family and friends!
Elegantly Converted Stables near Bath with Luxury Hot Tub
We loved our stay at The Stables, the luxury hot tub was an added bonus and was well used. Having the bus stop on the doorstep straight into Bath as well was very easy to get into the city centre and saved us taking the car. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Modern Garden Room under 5 min walk to beach
This was our second time visiting The Garden Room and it’s safe to say that we loved it just as much (maybe more) than our first visit! The location is perfect - within walking distance of the beach and not far from the lovely coastal walk to Hengistbury Head. This time we visited Christchurch town which we really enjoyed. We will definitely be back, it’s always such a delight staying at Suzie’s place. She provided everything we need (the bbq is fab!) and was super helpful, friendly and flexible - allowing us to check in early and check out later which was really appreciated. Can’t recommend this place enough, the perfect seaside staycation! Thank you so much Suzie and Andrew :)

Guest suite. Private. Free parking, nr. Clifton
Such a lovely, peaceful haven while I was on a course for a few days. Maggie sent such welcoming and helpful information and I was comfortable throughout my stay. Everything was easy the location was perfect for Clifton. Would definitely stay again

Annex Ample of Beauty, Dartmoor, Devon
Compact, peaceful and characterful accommodation Well equipped kitchen

The Old Cart Shed
A stunning home from home. Gorgeous countryside all around and a lovely enclosed private garden. The barn is beautifully decorated, with really personal touches. Breakfast and essentials provided. Comfortable and just a total delight. Anna was helpful, responsive and courteous at all times. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The Lazy Lodge
What a fantastic stay! I went to chill out and that’s exactly what happened. Very grateful. The LazyLodge was exactly that!! Had a fab time!! Thank you!

Gerties House
Edd & Kim’s place is just amazing! Just like the owners! It’s right at the base of Tor, so it’s close to all the other attractions, it has amazing views and it offers everything you need. I felt like I was living in my own little castle. And Edd & Kim are two sweethearts. I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to stay while in Glastonbury. I can’t wait to come back!
