The Bothy On The River Rede !
Very friendly and welcoming hosts. A really lovely little bothy in a beautiful spot. Perfect for a weekend break. We were breaking a journey north but it would be ideal for a few days walking or cycling. Thanks so much Marcelle and Alan and the dogs!

Luxury Ouseburn flat with city & river views
Absolutely great place. Perfect location for a nice day out in ouseburn / a walk along the quayside. Spacious and airy apartment that is bigger than it looks in the pictures too! Would recommend for sure! X

The Flat, Shepley secure parking & welcome hamper
Lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Very warm and friendly welcome from the hosts, Suzanne and Ian who were there to meet me and explained how everything worked. Welcome pack a nice bonus and very much appreciated after a long drive. Flat was beautiful, light and airy but at the same time, homely and welcoming. Very peaceful location and felt very safe there, something very important to me as a female guest staying on my own. Great communication and the few queries I had during my stay were answered very quickly. Local shop within walking distance for anything you might need and a coffee shop which looked very inviting and a must try venue for next time. All-in-all, a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Keswick - Ground Floor Riverside Holiday Apartment
Great flat in a superb location for all things Keswick. Very clean with everything you need for a short stay.

Stunning unique Country Flat w/original WaterWheel
Second time staying at this unique place. Very comfortable and homely flat with everything that you need. There are some good cafes nearby and a good bar in the Teesdale Hotel. The locals in Middleton in Teesdale are very friendly and welcoming. Lots of good walks from the doorstep and Low/High Force a short drive away. Highly recommend.

Central Large sea view 1bed luxury apartment
Great location, fantastic friendly and kind hosts. All you need for a break in Blackpool!

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

HEBDEN VIEWS. 13 NEW RD. HEBDEN BRIDGE. HX7 8AD
We loved our stay at Gina’s and hope to come back sometime soon. Hebden Bridge is a friendly, charming village - so lovely - and Gina’s place above her fused glass studio is so pretty and filled with light and pops of color. We could walk all over, including in a nearby park and along the river. Thank you, Gina!
Waterfront house rentals

Stone cottage overlooking River Wharfe
A lovely cottage in a lovely town. Super comfortable beds and a great shower. Well equipped kitchen and the garden overlooking the river was a delight….very friendly neighbours, too! We would definitely stay again. Ten out of ten.

Cosy Cumbrian Cottage - King Size Bed
A beautiful and peaceful house, within an easy walk of the supermarket and take aways. Also minutes from a little park overlooking the River Esk. Perfect if you’re looking for somewhere to break a journey to Scotland, or for a longer stay

Jitty Cottage - Open Plan with Gallery Bedroom
Warm, clean & comfortable little cottage with everything that we needed. Ideal location for the town and surrounding area, however we did underestimate how busy the road would be at night.

How Bank Ambleside, Luxury House with Hot Tub
Fantastic stay with dear friends in Ambleside. The house was beautiful, the beds were comfy, the hot tub was great, and it was only a two minute walk to the shops in Ambleside. Perfect weekend and we would all come back. Highly recommend.

Arnside Cottage - A home from home
A well loved and super clean cottage in a surprisingly quiet part of Arnside. The garden is a little gem after a long day out in good weather. Thoroughly recommend and friends say I’m pretty fussy.

Hallington Mill- Idyllic 6 Bedroomed Rural Retreat
The photos do not do the place justice - it is absolutely beautiful and so thoughtfully decorated. So much bigger than it looked online too and we had a great stay. The only issue we had was that the hot water stopped working mid way through the day. Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive to the problem but we had to be in Newcastle for early evening so it meant 6 of our party had to have freezing cold showers one day as the water took too long to come back on. Other than that, I can’t fault it. Surroundings are beautiful. So peaceful and yet close to shops, airport (25 mins), a gorgeous spa (matfen hall), and a 35 min minibus to Newcastle. Would recommend to all.

Beautiful Keswick House Stunning Riverside Patio
This house was a great find, very close to the town, river outside and park across the river. We did meet John, he gave us great info about walks, where eat and what to do in Keswick, he even offered to pick us up is we have any issues out walking! Great to have a washing machine as and we could not find a laundromat anywhere on our travels. Beds very comfy, the sound of the river was soothing as there had not been any rain recently.

6* Lux 3 bed Cottage Private Island lake district
we had a lovely 4 nights in the Thomas Gray House. Such beautiful settings. we took some of the recommended pubs and restaurants and were not disappointed. the house did feel very cosy and a home from home. we will be visiting this estate again.

RiverVistaRetreat: Luxury Apt w/Views, Parking&Spa
The home is situated in a beautiful location, offering a relaxing and serene environment. The house itself was spotless, and it was evident that Lee had thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay. Lee was always responsible and a friendly host. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Lovely 2 bedroom flat with free parking for 1 car
A fantastic flat in a great location- 100 yards from the Pleasure Beach and from the Tram stop, which made it so convenient, but in a quiet residential road. We parked our car on the drive (another real plus in Blackpool) and didn’t move it again as we went everywhere via tram. If you buy the Tram tickets on the app it is only £10 for two people for an all day ticket, meaning you can get on and off as often as you want. If we are ever back in Blackpool, we would stay here again. We can definitely recommend it.

Delph, Saddleworth Entire Waterside apartment
Phil and Anne were wonderful, even before we arrived we needed to switch our dates and they were happy to accommodate the change without fuss. On arrival we were shown where to park and around the accomodation, which was just as described, clean,tidy, super comfortable and had all the described amenities and lots of little touches that made our stay perfect. Thank you both for a wonderful base for our trip.

Delightful Luxurious Georgian 3 bed apartment
Lovely and spacious apartment fully equipped for our weekend away. Perfect combination of rustic and modern aesthetic. Kitchen was fully suited for all cooking needs. Bathrooms and all other areas were spotless. living room was a cozy place to chill with plenty of space. Location is perfect as right in the heart of Kendal with nearby shops and restaurants if needed. It was easy to travel to anywhere in the Lake District from here. Check-in was very straightforward.

Cockermouth, modern 2 bed apartment
Was staying here for a family gathering Kim’s place was great, a home from home and she also had lots of brochures in the apartment for things to do myself and family really enjoyed staying here.

Studio Apartment in the Vibrant Newcastle Quayside
Karen was a fantastic host. The apartment was perfect and just what I needed. It was so lovely and absolutely spotless. Karen couldn't have been more helpful and flexible at check in. The apartment block was lovely and quiet too! A perfect stay - thank you!

Stunning Seaview Loft-style Penthouse Apartment
We spent 2 nights in this apartment while visiting friends in Blackpool. The apartment is fantastic - spacious and well appointed, with the highlight being the living room which has huge windows looking out over the sea which is approximately 500 metres away. The owner sent us detailed instructions before arrival and we were asked to ring him as soon as we arrived, so that he could go through various features of the apartment with us. Overall, the communication was excellent. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment if you are planning to stay in Blackpool.

The Waterfall Mill – The Studio
My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay, the accommodation was cute and looked out onto the river and falls which we had a little swim in, and we loved the sound of the running water which was very peaceful. The little village has a couple of shops and a pub where the staff were friendly, however we did have to travel to neighbouring villages for meals out, but we knew that would be the case and allowed us to explore more of the surrounding areas, notably Hawes and Aysgarth. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away.
