Holiday rentals with lake access in South West England

absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

What can I say…the house was just perfect for our stay. Beautifully appointed, clean and luxurious. What a treat to have a coffee in the sunshine in the mornings, overlooking the lake. Cotswold Water Park Retreats were amazing. Very easy to book paddle boards in advance, great communication and the hot tub was checked at least twice while we were there. It’s like everything was thought of. It made it so easy for me and my family to focus on spending time together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone and I would love to come back.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Slipway. Great location for walking into town and the property is very comfortable and well equipped. Nice view of the river from the property and communication with Neil very easy.

Fantastic hosts , really helpful and responsive . Lots of information about the local area and things to do. House was very clean and comfortable, with everything you needed , beds and beddings was really cosy and we slept so well , we didn’t actually want to leave and stayed longer than originally booked. The views and local walks were beautiful too . The local pub was nice although we only had a drink there. Kitchen facilities were so good we cooked most the time. Highly recommend

Lovely stay! Accommodation is beautiful and the setting is peaceful. The toys available for my little one to play with were much appreciated.

Hannah and Heath were absolute stars! Can you imagine our embarrassment at turning up a day earlier than we had booked for?! Hannah and Heath came down to their lovely cottage and got it all prepared at speed for us! So kind and incredibly generous considering our blunder. The cottage was well furnished, very clean, and had all mod cons. There were very thoughtful additions of fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and some yummy chocolate treats. We were very comfortable there. The setting is absolutley beautiful and we were told that we could exercise our dog in the field behind the cottage. That was set out with a very large Children's Activity Centre that you might find in a play park. You could access the Tarka Trail via their land, which was great as we did some long walks along it, and stopped for refreshments at the Puffing Billy Cafe. We loved the cottage, it was everything and more! We would certainly like to return again for another stay and explore the area in more depth.

Absolutely gorgeous location! We stayed with our 2 children (3 & 10) and dog, the cottage is perfect, so spacious and the views are outstanding. The private lake on site is a real treat and we went on it a few times in the boat and on the paddle boards. All of the local beaches are lovely and we had an outstanding meal at The Pyne Arms which was a recommendation from the host too! Pollyanna was great and very helpful providing recommendations and settling us in even when we arrived late in the evening. We wouldn’t hesitate in coming back!

Louise was so kind and generous in everything she presented. From her proactive and genuine communication to a really early check in to goodies provided on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble which meant a one night stay felt more than that. The cottage is beautifully situated to explore everything Dartmouth has to offer. It’s a gorgeous place and we wished we’d had longer to explore.

Lovely apartment with everything we needed and more! Very welcoming to us and our dog. We shall be back!

Lovely, cosy and peaceful stay at the annex. Looking forward to visiting again.

Our stay was beautiful! The apartment was stunning, the pictures don’t do this interior justice. It was clean, warm and we had the best night sleep! There were so many lovely little editions for our kids too including colouring books, board games and beach toys. The local area was quiet but with the beach, a playground and restaurant on our door step, our first day meant we had everything we needed whilst we navigated the local area. The welcome book was really thorough as well! The pages on things to do was really helpful and we ended up going to dinosaur park for the day- a great choice! We would definitely recommend this apartment and location!

Sheralee's apartment is in an absolutely perfect location for enjoying a holiday in Sandbanks. The views are so beautiful and peaceful of the harbour from the balcony, bedroom window and living room window. There was everything we needed in the Airbnb and we loved eating dinner on the balcony as well as at the dining table in the living room. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back another time. So lovely that there is such easy access to both the harbour side (we did kayaking there) and the beach side through the Jazz Café entrance to the beach. Also, having the Tesco Express as part of the same building was really handy to buy food from!

Jen and Andy are excellent hosts and the accommodation was perfect for us. So much of interest to see and do in the area- all within a few miles. Beautiful walks, fantastic views and not at all crosded. So pleased we found this beautiful place. Can heartily recommend. Trev and Cath June 2025.

The flat is beautiful stairs quite steep lovely bedroom and lounge. It’s a three minute walk to the perch an amazing pub with garden and great food. It’s half an hour river walk to the trout another amazing pub with views. The walk to Oxford is half an hour across fields and along the river. Easy walk and beautiful. There is a Waitrose few minutes drive away. The welcome back was lovely. The hosts so lovely . The garden beautiful. This is our second visit and will not be our last.

Really nice top floor flat with great views of the harbour. Glenn was a top host and really responsive providing clear instructions. Would highly recommend!

A perfect place for my wife and two boys. Central to various locations, peaceful surroundings and plenty of room . The place was great. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, lazy sofas and a great breakfast bar to enjoy a family breakfast. The washing facilities has also eased the workload when we get home too haha. A home from home and we'll definitely be back everytime we travel down.

Jane always responded immediately and was so friendly and helpful. I cannot stress how beautiful the grounds are here and with freedom to explore them. The cottage is really well laid out with a fully equipped kitchen, and a large airy bedroom lounge area with desk. Perfect for a countryside getaway. Can’t wait to go back.

Sandra is an excellent host from her communication to all the little extras at the house. The bed was super comfy, fluffy towels and cosy throws in the lounge. Thank you very much for the wine and milk, and things like tea/coffee, porridge and shower gel etc made it a home from home stay. We loved the area and would definitely return. 100% recommendation from us both. 😊

This is our second stay at Lakeside Barn and again it lived up to our expectations. Such a beautiful place with peaceful surroundings. Anna and George are the perfect hosts and I would have no hesitation in recommending the barn.

We had a wonderful 3 weeks at the barn and were very sad to leave! As soon as we arrived, I felt myself relax. The gardens and farmland were beautiful and so peaceful, and the barn itself was thoughtfully considered, spotlessly clean, spacious and very well furnished. We had a lot of fun exploring around the farm with our 3 year old - playing down by the river and rowing the boat on one of the small lakes. It was amazing to have this on our doorstep! We visited a lot of places during our stay but my favourite was probably Boscastle - we enjoyed walking through the village through the valley to the cliffs and watching the blowhole in action. We loved the Boscastle Farm Shop & Cafe too - we sat outside enjoying the wonderful views while we ate delicious food and our little one had fun in the play area. Liz and Robert were the best hosts - we really enjoyed chatting with them and they were super responsive when we needed anything. I really hope we can return to stay again one day!

Good communications with Patrick prior to the break. A very warm and friendly greeting on arrival. The accommodation was very clean and tidy and had everything required. The smallholding, with its wide variety of animals was an added bonus. Certainly enjoyed feeding time. Good central position, with the choice of going to the coast or inland to the Moors. Would highly recommend, and hopefully return in the future.

Such a beautiful little place, Sally provided everything you could need. She was so responsive and gave recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Made our stay so easy and a seamless check in/out. Thanks Sally!!

Immaculately presented and beautifully renovated property, everything we needed and more. Spectacular views of lake and surrounding countryside. Small private garden which was great for sitting out with a glass of wine of an evening! Some good recommendations were provided for local eateries in Chew Magna ( 5 minute drive away). Really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Sally and her husband were excellent hosts. They helped out with any questions or requests, communicated proactively, and were flexible. The cottage is characterful and comfortable, perfect for our weekend enjoying the outdoors around Brecon!
