Cottage holiday rentals in English Channel

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

What a great place to relax and stay at, this is one of the best Airbnb’s we have started at. Mark and Tracey were welcoming and made us feel right at home. The spa is brilliant and was always set out really well with everything ready for when we wanted it in the evening. If you come here and decide to not have the in house chef experience, then you really are missing out. It was absolutely amazing and we were so full but the tastes were superb.

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

We had the most wonderful time.The location of the property is great for exploring and the setting so peaceful! The pictures perhaps did not do it full justice as it was even better!being in a bath over looking the countryside was next level! Clare was very clear on the whole process of how to get to the property,check in,ideas for places to visit and things to do.The personalised written message and goodies are special touches that mean a lot so thank you!cannot praise everything about our stay enough!we hope to be back!X

Wow! What an incredible 6 days we had staying at Nicola’s place. It was for my partners 21st birthday and Nicola put up banners and balloons which was lovely of her. We both had the best time, it was both of our first time in Cornwall and we explored so much in the time we was there. Boscastle is an amazing place to stay as St Ives was just over an hour away, Marazion was an hour away, Newquay just under an hour. Even the local beaches and exploring Boscastle was so much fun. It really was a great location, the views, the sunsets/ sunrises everything truly was amazing and we will 100% be back in the future. Thank you so much for having us and as I say we thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Cornwall.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location, the place was very clean & specious with everything all ready for us when we arrived. Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this to anyone. Thank you x

What an amazing stay! It was everything we were hoping for and more. The cottage had everything we needed and also some nice personal touches too. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub, listening and watching the birds . The weather was a little unsettled for us but not a problem, as we could sit in the summer house, and look out at the lovely view and our neighbours the sheep! Claire was very responsive with messaging and will look forward to visiting again soon. 🙂

Chris's cottage was a truly wonderful find, and we'd love to come back! It was thoughtfully equipped with literally everything you could imagine needing for a comfortable stay. The fantastic amenities like the pool and gym provided perfect entertainment, especially on those inevitable rainy days. Plus, the location was absolutely ideal for exploring local hiking trails. We found the cottage to be impeccably clean, peaceful, beautifully maintained, and wonderfully quiet. If I had to offer a couple of minor points for improvement, blackout blinds in both bedrooms would be a fantastic addition, as it got quite bright from 4 am. Additionally, it might be helpful to clearly state in the listing that baby swim classes are held in the pool three times a week. While this didn't bother us at all (we have a baby too!), it was unexpected, and some guests might appreciate knowing in advance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return! Harbour Cottage was lovely and clean and in a perfect location. It had everything we needed and more, the cream tea that was left for us when we arrived was a wonderful touch too. Plenty of beautiful beaches to explore nearby and some wonderful restaurants, we highly recommend!

A perfect 48-hour escape from London! We couldn’t have found a better place for a quick countryside getaway. The Barn is the ideal spot to unwind and truly disconnect from city life—immaculate, beautifully curated, and full of thoughtful touches. Emma is a fantastic host, clearly passionate about creating a warm and welcoming space. We especially loved spending the evening outdoors with a BBQ, then getting cosy inside by the wood burner. The locally sourced jam and butter, plus fresh eggs from Emma’s own farm, were such a lovely bonus. We left feeling rested and recharged—already dreaming of coming back!

Seafield Cottage is perfectly located with easy access to Lulworth Cove and a number of hiking trails, including Durdle Door and the trails along the cove. Absolutely stunning views. Lovely pubs close by and the salt sauna (which you need to book early if hire going to get a good time!). The cottage was super well equipped, comfortable and clean beds and rooms at a very good standard. The master room at the top of the 3 floors was gorgeous with an ensuite. The bunk bed room is great for kids, less so for overflow adults so really it’s a 2 x double bed property sleeping 4 adults + 2 bunk beds (4 in total) for kids. Emma was super responsive to any questions and gave comprehensive instructions and recommendations for the local area. I’d definitely come back and would recommend.

What a fantastic host! Stayed here prior to getting married at new barn farm and every last detail was just perfect. The property was spacious, clean and beautifully presented. The host did so much to make us feel welcome and added lots of little touches which made the experience so memorable. I have never stayed anywhere that has been this attentive before and would absolutely return in a heart beat. Thank you so much for all you did for us on such a special occasion, we will never forget it.

I had a great three-day weekend in this Airbnb ideally located on the banks of the Seine, in an environment of absolute calm, perfect for making a real break from Parisian life. The accommodation was impeccable, very well maintained, and Olivier's welcome was perfect. The path that runs along the Seine offers magnificent walks with very soothing landscapes. A perfect stay to fully relax.

Harriet's place was amazing. Harriet was very responsive and proactive with helping us with our late check in. The house looks really nice in photos, but it's even better than in real life. We have only one regret, that we couldn't stay longer!

Lovely, cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great location for access to walks on Exmoor and to get to the coast. The local village is also lovely with pubs and a shop.

Great self catering accommodation, small but perfectly formed! If you’re looking for total peace and quiet in a beautiful area, close to lovely beaches, towns and villages then this is for you!

Nut Cottage was a perfect location for us. We were able to walk to both Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door, two of the sites that we came to see. There were also lovely restaurants within walking distance (we didn't have a car). Sam and Katie were very responsive hosts when we had questions and they provided a list of helpful (and great) restaurants for us to try. They also gave us a heads up to reserve ahead, which I am so glad we did!

Mike’s place was a good value and very cute for our 2 nights in Lyme Regis. The location was lovely. The babbling river was lovely at night. Note the parking is nearby up a very steep hill and is paid. We enjoyed walking everywhere in the city. We had very nice food. The bed and pillows were not terribly comfortable but the flat met our needs.

Glorious few days exploring Bruton and Frome. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, the house was perfect for lazy breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen and there was ample wood to light a fire in the fireplace in living room. We appreciated the fresh flowers in vases and enjoyed the delicious local produce that was waiting for us on arrival. The garden is breathtaking- we must have come at one of the very best times to enjoy it at its peak.

Enjoyable stay in this home from home!

My wife and I had a lovely 8 nights in Simon and Charlie's place. Very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, very good TV in both kitchen and living room. The bedroom is spacious and very comfortable. Delightful private garden with fishpond and lovely flora. The place is very well situated with a lovely walk down to Anstey's Cove and a very short walk to Kents' Caves. Be aware that the EV charger mentioned in the amenities is just an outside 13 amp plug so if you want to do a full fast charge you need to look elsewhere, but it's OK to top up. Overall, an excellent place to base yourself for the whole area.

Such a lovely place to stay and everything is very well kept in the home. My one and only comment would have to be that whilst trees are beautiful things its such a shame you can't see the views at this time of year very well. It's such a stunning home and location that the glorious views would be wonderful with a few less trees surrounding the building.

Bunty cottage was idyllic accommodation in a charming area. The accommodation itself was charming and "olde worlde" Catherine was very responsive and helpful with all our enquiries. Would highly recommend.

We stayed in The Goat shed for 5 nights for a mini-moon and can't fault it. Easy to find and very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack had tonnes of information and reccomendations for food, activities and experiences in the surrounding area. Open forest, beaches, farm shops and quaint villages all within a half hour drive, but if you don't fancy that, there's plenty thats walkable too. Rachael and her family were very welcoming and friendly, offering us vegetables from their garden and answering our many questions. The surrounding area is beautiful and if you're looking for a jumping off point to explore the New Forest, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. They also have great tastes in biscuits!
