Chalet vacation rentals in England

We loved it, back to nature but very comfortable, had everything we needed and more. Loved the closeness to the sea. We walked all around the location, didn’t move our car for 4 days! We want to go back, that probably says it all. Thank you Beth

Beautiful view of the garden. Could have a good picnic there with a nice barbecue grill and plenty of seating. Bed is very comfortable. Fruit and breakfast items were greatly appreciated.

Our second visit to this super property. Spotlessly clean throughout with everything you could need for your time away. The weather was great whilst we were staying so we were able to make good use of the decking overlooking Swanage Bay. Judith was very quick to respond when we had a question and she also recommended plenty of places for us to visit. Milk tea coffee and Dorset biscuits were left for us when we arrived which was a welcome treat when we arrived. Many thanks Judith and we will look forward to returning again next year.

We have just spent 3 nights at Herdy View Lodge and were extremely pleased with our choice. The property is in a quiet location in a lovely setting. Several restaurants are in easy distance and Penrith, Ullswater and Keswick are short drives away. The lodge itself is lovely and kitted out with everything we needed. There is also an information folder which was really useful. All in all it was perfect for our requirements and we would certainly book there again. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a lovely weekend at the Duck house. We were 4 adults and 3 very lively dogs and we felt very welcomed by Jo to this idyllic country stay. You can hear the sheep in the adjacent fields and the garden is enclosed (which is great for the dogs) with a lovely variety of trees and plants. There is a small firepit and we were lucky to have good weather to enjoy an evening under the stars. The Duck house is completely private and separated from the main house and there is a pool for energetic guests. The accommodation has rather a quirky feel but the beds are comfy and there is good WiFi. There were a few unwanted cobwebs and the toilet and bathroom could do with a little TLC but this would not stop us returning in the future. We had some great walks on the nearby Langdon Hill and Golden Cap. Charmouth and Lyme Regis are only a few miles away.

A perfect setting to clear my brain of all the clutter that builds up over time. Peace & quiet to read & read & then read some more. Will be booking to go back again later in the year. Kim is the best host.

Right before I booked, I sent Fiona a query. She was very responsive and reached out many times before my stay. Fiona offers to pick you up from the Red Jet terminal and you honestly feel like you have met before. I got the earlier ferry than planned and Fiona happily picked me up. Fiona gave me all the information I needed in the drive to the cabin, about buses and the island. If you are coming without the car, the buses are so easy to use and this is from a non bus user at home. The app is easy to use and the journey planner is fantastic. You can get anywhere you need to go from Newport. The cabin itself was spotless with fantastic views of the Solent. The waves can be heard from the beach as you sit on the decking. Fiona and Derek are both very friendly. Fiona provides many extras that I didn't expect. She really has thought of everything. Cheese scones, breakfast items, tea and coffee. It's an easy 20 minute stroll to Cowes along the seafront, 5 minutes to Gurnard.

We stayed for a couple of nights to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday with our 2yr old and 11 yr old. We all had a fantastic time and felt extremely relaxed. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and lots of little walks to explore from the cabin. On the first evening we arrived we were greeted kindly by Maggie's son who told us about the local area and made us feel at home. The wood burning hot tub was preheated and ready for us to get in (lots of wood provided )The view from the cabin was amazing and within 5 minutes we saw multiple hares and a deer. We then enjoyed a relaxing evening in the hot tub looking at the stars and saw a barn owl from the woods flying over us. The next day we enjoyed playing at the tennis courts provided, enjoyed a local walk to the river and the hosts son introduced us to their "teddy bear" lambs. The next morning we visited a local cafe and play area recommended by the Maggie which was fantastic. Best Airbnb stay we've ever stayed at!

Great place to stay with a large group and within walking distance of Canterbury town centre where there is plenty of places to shop, eat and drink. Slightly disappointed that the hot tub wasn’t available, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location and place to stay

Olya was very friendly and helpful both before and during our stay. The house and garden is beautiful, very peaceful and an amazing layout for a group stay :) We were given a lot of local recommendations and I will definitely return

The most perfect few days in this stunning property! It had the wow factor from the second we opened the door! Would 100% reccomend and I can not wait to return! Fantastic host with great communication, completely faultless!

Beautiful location well connected to some stunning parts of the Dorset county including Lulworth Cove and the Jurassic Coast. The chalet was really well equipped and the kids loved it especially and are keen to go back. It definitely felt like a home from home. Stephen was great at communicating too.

Joe was a great host and provided all information requested. Arrival was straightforward plenty of space. House was clean and welcoming. Photos need updating as property has been extended further. Shepherd hut in Garden was a great addition however it is cited at the bottom of a steep incline. The hot tub was a great addition and used well journey to the beach was about 15 minutes and parking was difficult but manageable. Shops et cetera were a short drive from the house. There were not many places to eat locally but plenty of takeaways if you needed them. A very enjoyable week in a lovely area about 30 minute drive to New Forest. Definitely worth considering.

Incredible house, perfect for our family celebrations, so spacious, clean and the views breathtaking. Hot tub & Sauna imaculate and a welcome addition. Whole family thoroughly enjoyed themselves we all left feeling very rested even Coco our cocapoo was truly chilled. Thank you to all the team that made our stay a perfect home from home stay. We would definitely love to come back.

Just came back from a lovely stay at this house. 3 couples with 2 toddlers and a baby. Everything was just perfect for our stay. Excellent space for us all and the playroom and garden were a hit. Bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms were very clean. Went to Pippa pig world whilst we were there and cliff top beach which had a lovely sandy beach. A very quiet residential road with easy access to all the local villages. Would highly recommend this house for family’s.

A lovely comfortable holiday chalet. Everything one could wish for and not far from the essential shops. The wifi was excellent and made remote working possible. A responsive host always willing to help.

I booked this last minute for my mums birthday for a bit of R&R and we were over the moon with it! Stunning views and all around just so relaxing! Definitely will be back🙌🏽

If you read the visiters book you will see that this is superb.....could go on and on about how good this is,in every detail...You will have no regrets....thankyou Janice

The caravan was extremely clean and well equipped. Reg always responded to my emails and texts straight away which was so reassuring. Our 2 year old grandchild was with us and a travel cot was installed in the bedroom. The South West walkway was just a short distance from the caravan and Chisel beach can be seen from the caravan's balcony. We had a chill out weekend but there is so much to see in the surrounding area. We had a most enjoyable stay.

second time at lilypad ..have recommended it to our friends .took a fishing rod this time alas no bites lol its a very chilled place great beds everything to hand ...Will be back ..we do enjoy the experience..ie the centre has everything you need For food your better off going to the surrounding pubs ...thanks again ...ps a better price would be welcome discount for regulars

This was our second time at Chris’s lodge and yet again it didn’t disappoint!! The lodge is just in the best spot, the facilities inside are just great and everything was spotless, it is such a great lodge that we just had the best time there. My girls absolutely loved being able to feed the ducks, geese and swans from the lodge. You could just sit and watch the wild life on the lake all day. Chris was a super helpful host for all the booking and was able to help us purchase play-passes to use the facilities at the complex. We will definitely be staying again.

Jamie and Sarah were lovely hosts. Everything was as expected. Barney my dog loved to sit outside on the bank and watch the world go by. Then take a walk over the hills to the beach. Very quiet and peaceful.

I stayed at the lodge for a special family weekend and the facilities were fantastic for a stay close to Rudyard lake and its charming facilities, with clean, well equipped cabins and a relaxing hot tub too! Lovely view of trees and the meadow, and Dan and Mogs were such helpful and friendly hosts. Not accessible without a car, but once we were at the lodges we could easily walk to the attractions and hotel around Rudyard lake. Thanks so much! We’ll have great memories for a long time.
