Holiday rentals with lake access in Greater Manchester

Terrific home, really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, very relaxing, close to amenities, lovely view from the living room and porch that brought a serene vibe to the whole place; we had a ball! Would definitely book again!

Jade was a very helpful host. The area is traditional for the area, lovely nature reserve on back of rear garden for walks. The cottage is just lovely. Warm and cosy. We will definitely return here.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house is spacious with plenty of ensuite bathrooms. It was cosy, comfortable and perfect for us as a group of friends but would be good for families too. The location is lovely- it is set in a charming area with a shop just a minute away. We loved the fact it is surrounded by picturesque English villages with quaint cafes, restaurants and really gorgeous old pubs with open fires. Lovely rambles on the doorstep too. The house itself was idyllic and spotlessly clean. French doors in the main bedroom and living room open to stunning lake views creating a peaceful, nature-filled retreat. Waking up to birdsong and watching ducks on the lake was magical. Handy for quick access to Manchester and airport and great value for money. The host was helpful. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay.

I had a fantastic stay at Sunny’s 2-bedroom house in Wigan. The location is ideal—just a short drive from the town centre yet peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect base for exploring or relaxing. Alexandra Park is a 10-minute walk away on one side, and the canal is a 10-minute walk away on the other side. If, like me, you like going for runs, this is perfect. The house was spotless, spacious, and even had a garden. Both bedrooms were comfortable and well-furnished, and the living area was cosy and inviting. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home, like fresh linens and a few welcome treats. Sunny was a great host—friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right for my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. If you're visiting Wigan, this place is a real gem!

This place was perfect for what we needed and perfect for our dog, right out the back there’s a nice forested area for walking dogs and it’s situated close to shops :) would recommend!

My four children and I enjoyed a comfortable one night stay in this beautiful property. We had a warm welcome from Jennifer and felt right at home . We only wish we had been staying longer

Super three bedroom house in a location convenient for many of Manchester's attractions.

Where do I start with this review? Chris is one of the most genuine, caring and wonderful people you will ever meet! He saved us from a horrific amount of stress whilst holidaying in Mexico! For some background we had to move out of our home just before going due to an internal soil pipe leak and had been living between parents and hotels just before our family holiday of a lifetime. Whilst we were away the insurers and loss adjustors agreed signed off for a long stay or let meaning we then had to try and find somewhere whilst we were on the other side of the world! I dropped Chris a message and just WOW… What a guy, if it wasn’t for him we’d have likely ruined what remained of our holiday. His place is stunning, so homely and in a beautiful location - everything you need on your doorstep with the most incredible host! It is not a shock Chris carries a 5 Star rating and it is well and truly deserved, do not hesitate and book or reach out! You won’t be disappointed, thanks Chris! 🫶

Our stay was lovely, the price was very reasonable and Fatima was very quick to respond to our messages. There was a disruption to the water at one point due to some nearby construction and she was very quick to send someone to check on the water, which we really appreciated. But a couple of things could really have improved our stay. My girlfriend felt that a small bin in the bathroom would have been very handy and we were also disappointed to find that there were no cereal bowls or pasta dishes in the property, only plates, so we had to pick up some extra crockery.

This is one of the best places I’ve stayed in Manchester! Great view from the balcony, inside was pristine, felt so clean and new. A perfect apartment, well worth the price. Has everything you need. There’s a beautiful gym and nice study area in the lobby, such a great vibe. Sainsbury’s being literally a 1min walk away was so convenient! Amazing place will definitely be staying here again. The host Josiah was a pleasure to talk to. Extremely helpful and responsive, made our stay even better.

Fabulous place in the perfect location, easy access, privacy, loads of space. Was immaculate on arrival, lovely and warm and with everything we needed for a short break. Had our 2 dogs with us and its perfect for them.

Great area, ideal place to stay in and around the quays. Good value for money 👍🏻

Raya was an amazing host. After needing somewhere else to stay last minute I found Rayas place available. Raya was very responsive and we quickly made arrangements for my booking she was very helpful and was there to welcome us when we arrived and offer local information to where we could go eat and have a look around. We had everything we needed and I would happily stay again. Thanks Raya for being a great host.

Nice location, quiet, very close to a tram station. Noiseless apartment building and next to the canal. We'll stay again soon!

Lovely flat in a quiet area, with everything you need for a long or short stay

Great place, in a great location - super host, friendly and very helpful

Andrew was very helpful and replies quickly and his place is incredible. The decking looking out to the canal and sunset is perfect. Very clean and beautiful home. would definitely stay again.

Beautiful 2 days sleeping under the stars, of which two were shooting stars. Close to Dovestones for a good hike and literally 5 reservoirs within 2 minutes walk. Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful interior. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay. Excellent location for all local amenities and train station into Manchester. Thank you William, we had a very good weekend. The accommodation had everything we needed and a very good welcome hamper.

My friend and I had 3 lovely days at Chew Cottage. It’s in a beautiful area, with local pubs and fabulous walking. The house is quirky and as described. Lovely little garden and house was very cosy. Jeanne was pro-active in responding to a problem with the Tv signal, arranging for the aerial to be repaired the next morning. As an Airbnb host myself, I appreciated the facilities and good communication. Lots of free on street parking nearby I .e. Just across the road.
