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
Fantastic apartment in an area with plenty of bars and cafes and lots pleasant walks along the waterways. Although in a busy area the apartment is quiet and totally relaxing with all your needs catered for. Would definitely recommend and would return to explore the area more, thankyou Nic & Emily regards David & Sarah Hammond

Stylish city stay in the heart of the Harbourside
Very nice place. Location is good near the harbour, nice for a walk in the evening. Apartment was clean and the bed was really comfortable!

Luxury Riverfront Apartment
We wanted to visit the area and worked out that Newport was best for us. We were right! The position was perfect with the whole of the city centre close by. We were able to visit Tredegar House, Newport wetland area and Caerleon Roman remains by car and went to Cardiff on the train. The bonus here was the riverside views with the ever changing tides. We had great weather so could use the balcony both day and night. The flat was perfect for the two of us albeit with cafes and restaurants nearby we did not use the kitchen much. The unit was beautifully clean and everything seemed to work. Access arrangements were precisely described and easy to follow. Car parking is always a plus for city centre locations.

Sea Views & Sunsets
My wife Jan and I stayed at Mark and Helen's Apartment for a few days and found it very spacious and clean with separate living/kitchen/dining, bedroom and large shower /bathroom areas. All the necessary kitchen utensils were included as were toiletries and towels/flannels. Mark was available at all times should we need any help. We would definitely stay at this Apartment again.

Modern immaculate studio. AC, Parking. Not in CAZ.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! Perfect for a little cosy overnight stay, so peaceful.

Water Views City Docklands, Modern Apartment,
What makes this apartment is its location and the lovely view. It is close to Temple Meads, bus stops and a supermarket. What detracts is the poor cell reception and lack of WiFi. This has been mentioned in several reviews, and while there is nothing that can be done about cell reception, WiFi should be provided. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we are happy to recommend it.

2 Bedroom Family Home in Chepstow with Parking
This is a modern, comfortable house on a new development. It’s within easy walking distance of Offa’s Dyke, Wye Valley Greenway, nice restaurants and the local Tesco. Convenient regular bus service from town that we used to go to Tintern and walk back. The house is well equipped should you wish to cook and felt very welcoming. arrival is by keylock but contact from Jonathan was regular and friendly. I would highly recommend this house.

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.

Large Country Cottage + Log Fire, Fire Pit Nr Bath
We had a lovely time in this amazing cottage. The place is very big but also super clean! It's also the perfect encounter between old and new, and every kitchen or cleaning product is organic and sustainable. The inside is beautiful but what really surprised us was the garden and the BBQ, which we tried for our dinner! The fireplace helped make the atmosphere even warmer. A much appreciated addition was a bed for our puppy with toys and treats! Price is 100% fair. We also loved meeting a bunch of lovely spaniels, that was the highlight of the holiday!! We'll definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area

Caithness Holiday Home
A wonderful house to stay in, me and my friends had the best time! The house was immaculate and Alex was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, with lots of useful information cards/books in the house too!

Woodbank
We spent 2 weeks at Woodbank House and had the best time. The highlights are the kitchen and the grounds. The skies at night are amazing. Bess is a terrific host, perfect communication and so helpful. Thank you so much, I hope we get a chance to stay again! X

Fabulous canal side home walking distance to Bath
Great house in a great location with very responsive hosts - highly recommend. Everything was as-described, clean and perfect for a family or group trip. Most standard consumables were there, tea coffee, washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, soap, shampoo etc. Not a criticism but just a note to future guests if you’re planning to use the oven. The oven is gas and was a bit temperamental. There were also no oven-gloves that we could find so would suggest bringing some if you plan to use the oven. Otherwise the kitchen was great and very well stocked with crockery and utensils.

Bridge Lock Mews - By the canal - with parking
We really loved Bridge Lock Mews. We stayed with our dogs and found the location to be perfect - a stroll down the canal to Bathwick Meadows every day with easy access to the Bath Skyline walk. Come back via Dexters coffee shop on Bathwick Hill - perfect Also super easy to get into the city centre along the canal and the river - just 10 mins walk and you are bang in the middle of it all. Parking was good too (parking is at a premium in Bath). The place is brilliant - modern, great interior design, clean, comfortable and right on the canal so you can watch the world go by and watch canal boats going through the lock if you are lucky. Beds comfy, kitchen well equipped, smart TV excellent, good Wifi. The only thing I would recommend with dogs ( if it is wet) is take plenty of towels to put down in the small hallway area as it is carpeted. We spent a lot of time trying to save the caroet from our dogs' wet paws!

The Mill House at Midford Mill, Bath
I stayed here for my birthday and it was absolutely lovely. The place is tucked away in beautiful Midford, just outside Bath, and it was the perfect peaceful escape. The accommodation was spotless, cozy, and full of charm, with thoughtful touches throughout. Waking up to the countryside views was such a treat. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday getaway- would recommend!

Belgravia Mansions - Peaceful Georgian 3BR Seaview
Wow thank you Lucy. We spent the weekend in Weston for my 50th and my Mums 80th family gathering. The photos of this gorgeous property and the location with a sea view were what drew me to book. On arrival it was even better than expected immaculate and spotless ♥️

Creatives Apartment on the Harbourside
Kelly’s home is beautifully designed, so comfortable and homely, high quality bedding, towels & smells unreal!! Kelly was super communicative and responsive, flexible re check in & check out time and provided us with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed on a wet & windy weekend and found the apartment really comfortable, however due to the weather we couldn’t explore as much as we would have liked and were disappointed that we couldn’t find a TV in the apartment to watch a film why we waited for the rain to clear, had the weather been nicer we probably wouldn’t have noticed that it was missing! Kelly’s apartment was so comfortable the only downside was the heating was very strong and made the place warm, especially in the night, and due to the nature of the apartment block we couldn’t open the bedroom window very much to get air circulated. However, I wouldn’t let that put you off staying at Kelly’s beautiful home.

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.

The-apartment-near-the-beach
What a great find! Easy short walking distance to all the local amenities and close to the beach, even better that we had a dedicated parking space right outside the apartment. The apartment was fresh and clean, beds where very comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped, bathroom was modern and clean with a nice shower. The whole apartment had everything we needed to make it a comfortable home from home stay. Ruth and Byran where very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had, which made the whole experience so easy. We would highly recommend the apartment to anyone 😊

Spacious Regency Crescent in Idyllic Location
We had a glorious weekend at Emma's flat. Very well equipped and every last detail was thought of. Brilliantly situated for getting around Bath, with nothing being no more than 10-15 minutes walk from the flat. Very comfortable and warm, for which we were most grateful for over a rather chilly weekend. We brought Tolly, our shitzu along too and he was very well catered for too.
