Modern Retro 2-bed Flat - Perfect Location!
We had a lovely stay...the place was very clean and had everything we needed (we liked the books and games). Julie was very friendly and helpful when making the booking arrangements and we appreciated being able to book at short notice.

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.

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!

MARINA BOATHOUSE, Lake Windermere Lets

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.

Quakers Field View
We really enjoyed our stay - close to Ulverston, the Priory and many places we aimed to see during our visit. Lindsay corresponded quickly. The house is very comfortable, very clean and nicely decorated as in the photos - we wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you Lindsay. :)

Nan’s Cottage, South Lakeland District
We really struggled to find the cottage as the sat nav took us to two completely different places beforehand! At 8pm in the pouring rain, with two young children we were knocking on the door of another 3 The Row, Spark Bridge to find a worried Air BnBer thinking we'd been double booked! I tried to phone the number for the host listed on AirBnB but no response. I was surprised to have no return call later on to check there were no emergenices once they'd seen the missed calls! We only found the cottage by chance after driving round and round. Cottage was lovely, very cosy, everything you need is there. Garden is beautiful, yes communal but we only saw one other neighbour who was lovely and told us the history of the cottages. The river in the garden is amazing! Wish I'd read listing properly and seen it was pet friendly (my error) as it was either the pet hair or the plug in air fresheners that brought on my allergies! Overall we had a lovely stay to break up our journey to Scotland!

The Balmoral Coach House
Highly recommend a stay with these amazing hosts. From providing an excellent airbnb service, to helping us through a broken down car. Highly accommodating hosts who truly care about their guests. Stunning place!

Riverside Rose Cottage, Pooley Bridge, Ullswater
We had a great stay and would love to return one day. We went as a family of 4 - with our 17 & 19 year old sons and all really enjoyed the holiday cottage. The stand out 'wow' is the beautiful garden that leads down to the river at the bottom....a very rare find. The cottage is in the heart of the village, so there's easy access to small shops and variety of pubs to eat in. We had mixed weather and so enjoyed local walks but were glad of the log burner and heating to warm up at the end of the day. There's still a beautiful view of the garden even if it's raining. The cottage was well equipped and homely - it was much lighter and brighter inside than we'd thought it would be. Great stay - Thank you.

Luxurious and Peaceful Lakeside House, Clitheroe
Clean, modern and well equipped accomodation. Ideal location for exploring Lancashire/Yorkshire. The external areas do suffer from some road noise and it's not completely private. Would recommend.

Town End Farmhouse, Luxury Victorian 3 bed home
We stayed here for my girlfriends birthday with our dog. The house is absolutely stunning and very large - the photos don’t even do it justice! Iain and Louise were very responsive, beds were incredibly comfortable and we very much enjoyed the beautiful village setting. We would love to visit again!

Riverside Cottage with secure bike storage
Really comfortable cottage, very well equipped in a great location. Easy to get to local attractions and great walks from the door. Close enough to visit the lakes but far enough away from hustle and bustle. Would definitely recommend.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Tranquil 4 Bed Canal Side Apartment with Sea Views
Great location for us visiting family. Would be good for walkers /bird watchers etc as good coastal access . Lovely view from main living area.

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.

Pure Grace, Waterhead nr Ambleside, Lake District
Our week in this lovely apartment sped by too quickly! It was beautifully decorated with cosy lounges and chairs and very comfortable beds. The kitchen had more than we needed and all appliances were easy to use. The location was faultless - everywhere was so accessible from here! Pubs, cafes and restaurants were just across the road - where we headed after long hikes each day. We felt very sad to leave and look forward to returning one day soon 👍👋❤️

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.

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.

Beach Front Apartment with Free Parking, St Annes
Lovely spacious apartment, comfortable seating and bed

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.
