Holiday rentals with a balcony in British Isles

Overall Jonathan's flat in Shoreditch was quite nice. Close to public transportation, great restaurants, and stores for groceries. Jonathan was very accommodating and let us check in a bit early, since they had finished cleaning the flat early. We had a few issues pop up, such as missing towels and a clogged shower drain, but he was always very quick to respond via the Airbnb app and all issues were promptly addressed. We loved that it was the top unit; very private and quiet, aside from the passing trains below, which we could barely hear at night. The unit is very spacious and modern, which was perfect for our group of 4. Great water pressure, spacious bathrooms, and the A/C worked quite well. We did discover water damage on a number of walls which Jonathan was aware of from a prior water leak, but hadn't mentioned to us beforehand. Suggestions: Some walls have scuff marks, so a fresh coat of paint would help. Could use a more comfortable couch & dining room chairs.

The flat is pristine clean. There are so many extra nice touches -the lights on the night stands have an USB and USB C plugs, each bathroom has its own hairdryer. The cabinet in the bathroom has a small storage bin for toiletries. Extra towels, lots of storage space. The Nespresso machine is top of the line with a steam wand to make lattes. There were 4 Nespresso capsules and instant coffee to get us through the morning until we could pick up groceries. The Tube is 1-2 minutes walking distance with groceries, bars and restaurants in the same area. Both bedrooms and the living room have a balcony . Dainius responded promptly and checked in on us several times. Others commented on the noise from the bar on the first floor and I did not think it would be a problem since the bar closes early. However there are tables outside, and on a Friday evening the noise cont'd until 4AM. There are fans in both bedrooms that provided "white noise". Cleanest and nicest rental I've stayed in.

I stayed there for 18 days and I felt like home. Very nice apartment and comfortable, Quiet area, minutes far from centre of Canary Wharf. Host was very friendly and helpful. Fast response when I needed something. I would love to stay there again.

Great apartment, very helpful and responsive host , place was very comfortable clean and spacious, public transit to the city wasn’t as accessible as we hoped as train was good but not as frequent as busses. However the place itself was great value for money and we enjoyed our stay there :)

Super helpful host, amazing place, loved the deco and the bed was super comfortable. Definitely recommend anyone to stay at this Airbnb !

Beatrice’s apartment provided a truly unparalleled experience — throughout all my travels, this was by far the most beautiful accommodation I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The flat has been renovated with impeccable taste and meticulous attention to detail, with every element reflecting a commitment to quality and care. The harmonious design and refined style created an atmosphere that was both wonderfully homely and distinctly special. Beatrice herself was exceptionally attentive and professional; she responded to every enquiry promptly and helpfully, and our comfort was clearly her highest priority throughout our stay. The location of the apartment is equally outstanding: central, yet surprisingly peaceful — a true rarity in London. In every respect, this was a perfect choice, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional and memorable stay.

Beautiful apartment, great facilities, very clean and tidy. Quiet area, and a perfect stay for a short weekend, beautiful location by the river and great local coffee shop.

Great home base location for exploring London. Many options for restaurants, groceries, shopping in walking distance. Easy to get to and navigate public transportation while also in a quieter neighborhood for a break from the busy city life. Flat had a perfect layout for our family of 5 (2 parents, 2 kids, 1 young adult) and we enjoyed the private balcony and convenience of amenities available (kitchen, washer/dryer, etc.) Some miscommunication regarding check in time and general house instructions but it was all sorted and City Relay was quite responsive during our stay. Thank you!

The road leading to the location is a little startling at first. The location is at least 30 minutes from any town, if you are looking for a secluded get away then it’s a good location.

Great place to stay. Descriptions are accurate and Titti and Orla were excellent hosts.

6 minutes walk to underground station. Peaceful and quiet surroundings with friendly neighbors. Only problem is to open the second front door. There’s two doors at the front, the first door cannot be locked, looks like it’s a wrong key. The second door is hard to open, it takes a huge pressure on the key to turn it open anti clockwise, locking is OK.

Monica’s home is a little slice of paradise in the hustle and bustle of London. Every detail was perfect from her curated art to thoughtfully designed layout. Having a morning coffee and admiring the lush backyard was one of the highlights of my week and I’ll always remember it! The added bonus of your own entrance to the park really was the cherry on top to a perfect stay. If you’re looking for somewhere that wow’s you and a host that makes you feel at home I can’t recommend Monica’s enough. Thanks for having us!

Perfect for a weekend on the Opal Coast... Welcoming house, comfortable beds and good amenities. Is even equipped with a Senseo coffee machine for those who wish to anticipate the purchase of pods...

The space worked very well for us. The communal areas were ideal, the kitchen/diner was a good size and well equipped, the sitting room also. The balcony was great and opening the sliding door helped a lot on the hotter days. The bedrooms were comfortable and both en suite bathrooms were great. The location was the highlight, great views onto the canal and a very short walk into the city. A couple of local shops made things totally convenient. The only things that were less than perfect, but still perfectly manageable, were that the parking was a bit tight, you wouldn't want a large car; the bedroom windows are directly onto a side road up to the canal so keep the blinds closed and be prepared for some noise from passers-by; the place can get very hot on warm days. All in all a great place to stay and I'd recommend it to anybody.

My family of 2 adults, 3 children and a dog(!) had a wonderful stay in Sallys home. We did not want to leave! The house was incredibly comfortable and luxurious. Such a lovely space for a family to relax. A peaceful countryside setting but only a 5 minute drive from the town. Wonderful powerful shower, comfy beds and quality linen throughout. The kitchen was the most thoroughly equipped in any air b&b we have stayed in. We made much use of the lovely garden, BBQ, hot tub and kids toys. Sally was very proactive the instant we booked. We were kindly given an early check in which was greatly appreciated. She even arranged for a stair gate which allowed us to keep our spaniel downstairs. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would love to return!

This has been one of my favorite Airbnb stays. Perfect location and extremely comfortable and stylish flat. Andy was a wonderful host! Both attentive and accommodating. This is a very special place. Could not recommend enough.

Kelly has curated a stunning home. It is so cosy but yet so spacious and super clean. The view and the balcony are terrific, I spent my time watching the sea change tones of colour. I had fantastic sleep, it was comforting and peaceful throughout. The light through the floor to ceiling windows create a great ambience. Communication with Kelly was excellent, I was able to check in slightly earlier and having the green space opposite was bliss. All in all a delightful experience and space of retreat 💫

Perfect location for a stay in Topsham. Great views of the estuary and the Quay and handy for all the good things that make the town so special. Also great for biking on the Exe trail. The flat has all you could want, very comfortable and a lovely balcony to enjoy watching the world go by. We've been before and will be back again

What a beautiful place to start our dream holiday in Europe. The location was perfect and we took full advantage of the proximity to the Tube and the Thames. As first time visitors to London, Gary was most helpful with tips and recommendations. We felt very at ease sharing his home and appreciated his attention to the little things that made our stay special.

Amazing view over Woolacombe beach - what can be better than watching sunset with a glass of bubbles in a hot tub! The apartment is exactly as advertised, all in perfect order and spotlessly clean. We will definitely return.

Cool neighbourhood to stay in. Bus stop was right outside but we took an Uber anywhere we needed to go. David left a binder for us which had friendly advice of places to eat in the area which came in handy. Was nice to be able to drop off our bags early before check in!

Portobello is lovely with a beautiful beach and is a short bus ride from city cente. The apartment was clean and comfy with hot shower and great beds giving a good nights sleep. Jeremy was quick to respond to messages and checked in with us to make sure all was well. We had a lovely time there and would love to go again

Rod was a great host. Always responsive and genuinely concerned about your stay. regularly checking in to see if I required anything and always flexible. The flat is gorgeous and the view from the 10th floor balcony is stunning. East Village is a great neighborhood with plenty of amenities and Westfield on the doorstep. I would definitely stay here again - Rod is probably the best host I have experienced. We have since become friends!

We had such a wonderful stay. Joanne’s place was beautiful, quiet and clean. She was a wonderful host, providing detailed instructions and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again.
