Holiday rentals with lake access in United Kingdom

Excellent accommodation in idyllic and peaceful surroundings. The annex is beautifully furnished, with everything provided for a comfortable stay. The amazing garden was an ideal place to relax. The area is lovely, close to Rutland Water, with pleasant walks. We would love to return to explore the area further. Our host, Veronica, communicated well prior to our arrival and was on hand should we need anything. Thank you.

A lovely home & amazing location. Everything was extremely clean, and bed was very comfortable. Lots of amenities and essentials, made it feel like a home away from home. Extremely dog friendly, the garden was the perfect size for our chihuahua puppy. We would 100% stay here again.

Katie’s charming home near the red castle ruins was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace and magic. The cottage was beautifully kept, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable—every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel at home. The setting is something out of a storybook. Waking up next to the historic ruins and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a day of travel. Our kids were thrilled with the darts and ping pong, and everyone slept like a dream—so quiet, so cozy. If Scotland weren’t so far away, we’d be back in a heartbeat. This may be the only trip we ever take as a family to Scotland, and we’re beyond grateful that Katie’s magical cottage was part of our journey. Thank you for everything!

We have had a lovely stay at the boathouse which was just amazing! The boat house its self is beautiful, clean and comfortable with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It is very well equipt, plenty of towels, blankets and even robes. We loved the hot tub with views over the lake. The location of the boathouse was just perfect for us and the views were stunning! We took our own paddle boards and was so happy to be able to launch straight from the jetty to explore the lake. My daughter also loved feeding the ducks from the jetty. We have had a busy few days on local bike trails, hikes, paddle boarding, boating and having some lovely meals out in beautiful Bowness, but always looked forward to returning to the boathouse! We will definitely be returning! Thank you

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed - both the beauty of the surroundings and the house itself with gorgeous views and unique design and decor. Cozy living room with great view. Basically two master bedrooms. Great kitchen and dining room. Nice deck if weather permits. Close to railway walking path. I even caught four brown trout from shore just across the lake. Highly recommend!

We cannot fully put into words how special Elizabeth’s place is. By far, it is one of the best Air BnB’s we’ve stayed at in the Highlands. If you’re looking for a peaceful hub to visit all the sights. If you’re looking for a refuge, you don’t need to leave the property. As a host, Elizabeth went above and beyond, anticipating our needs, providing recommendations, and even offering a welcome basket.

A delightful beach cabin experience. I booked this beautiful home for a recent girls trip. Sofia allowed us to get access early as several of us had come on overnight flights. The home is easily locatable and perfectly situated. We spent four nights, enjoying long dinners at the dining room table, sitting on the back deck, enjoying the stunning view and sleeping peacefully in the lovely bedroom. Sofia was responsive throughout our visit, and even let us check out a little bit later than planned so we could further enjoy the beach. note that this is a very low tide beach. If you’re hoping to swim, you will likely need to go to another part of the beach. The water is ankle deep goes out at that level for a very long way. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds are super comfortable. I am a stickler for having decent hot water for a nice bath, and that was not a problem at all. Thank you so much to Sofia and her partner. We look forward ved every minute.

We had a great 4 nights at Lucy’s. The garden is breathtaking, the pool lovely and a short walk takes you to the historic pub (complete with Morris Dancers). Lucy was very welcoming and friendly and the house comfortable and within easy travelling distance of some of the best parts of the Cotswolds. We would love to return. Thanks Lucy!

Very clean and comfortable annex. Andrew received us very kindly.

Although a little expensive, the views, and being in an Abbey was an amazing experience. We had plenty of room and the apartment had everything we needed including tea! The canal locks were a thrilling surprise to watch when going for coffee or ice cream. Loch Ness cruise was beautiful. Everything you could need from coffee to restaurants and gift shops to convenience store all walking distance but very quiet complex with a city link bus stop 5-6 minute walk to explore the highlands.

Beautifully presented accommodation! Everything we needed plus more! Bread and milk was a nice touch. Wonderful setting close to city centre and train station.

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

We had a lovely 3 nights at The Stable ,the accommodation was very clean and good value.Situated in lovely surroundings for walking and touring.The local pubs offer great food.Maria could not have been more helpful and freindly

Amazing location right on the beach. Terry was very responsive and helpful, had a lovely break. Thank you :-)

A fantastic, cosy place in a beautiful location. Kinvara is a perfect host, helpful and responsive and kindly left us a delicious cake. We enjoyed our stay, lots of great walks and pubs in the area.

Chris and Sarah’s place is easily one of the finest Airbnbs we’ve ever experienced. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The place has everything you needed and more! (Thank you for the Scottish Shortbread biscuits). The panoramic views are breathtaking, our only regret is not having more time to have a cup of tea at the front yard. Above all, Chris and Sarah’s warmth made us feel instantly at home. Their hospitality set a new standard for us, and we’ll be recommending their getaway to any friends traveling to this part of the world!

Very welcoming hosts and an impressive place to rent. The interior is in stylish, comfortable and in great condition. The location is quieter than others in the lake district but only 15 mins from Bowness. We loved our weekend.

Absolute brilliant home to explore the North Wales coast and the Llyn Peninsula. We loved Cricceith as a base and the home was perfect for our week away: beautifully thought out, spotless and just really homely.....we did not want to leave and can't wait to book another stay! Things that stood out were: the shower was powerful and warm, the beds were comfy, the facilities were excellent and the garden area was private. We couldn't fault it!

There are truly no words to describe the immensely magical experience of staying at Lisa’s cottage. It is the coziest, sweetest place, every corner inside and out a perfect reading or dining nook. The most thoughtful design in the most beautiful natural setting. And Lisa! We so very much appreciated the wonderful communication, the ample food she left for us, and, when we were silly and left something behind, she went above and beyond to arrange a taxi to chase us down and get it to us. She is the kindest and most welcoming Airbnb host I’ve ever had!

If you need peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It was a perfect location to just absorb nature. The picture windows allowed us to gaze at the loch to our heart's content. We didn't miss having a tv and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Many hike were within easy access of the home and we made the most of it. It is very cozy and easy to feel at home.

We had a lovely stay at Simon’s beautiful cottage. The bed was really comfy and there was no external noise (apart from the sheep!). It was such a peaceful few days and perfect for us with our 7 month old daughter and dog. The cottage is set on the hillside with stunning panoramic views. The garden is fenced all the way round and there’s a perfectly placed bench to watch the sunset. The interior was kitted out to a high standard and had all the basics you would need. Simon was very friendly and offered some great local recommendations. We will definitely be back one day to visit again - thank you!

Beautiful area and nice little cottage, no complaints to be had.

It is an absolutely beautiful place in an equally beautiful area. During our stay we walked up Snowdon (about half an hours drive away), and visited the local village Beddgelert, which has some lovely places to eat and explore. We left wishing we had booked a longer stay!

We loved our stay at the Chapel! The Chapel itself is beautiful with everything you’d need and expect, with very helpful labels and instructions so you can make yourself right at home! The location and views of the lake are superb and the nearby footpath leads you directly into Coniston along the lakeshore (4 miles each way) Daphne was a great host and always super responsive to any questions we had. The option of the canoe rental was a nice addition to take advantage of the private lakeshore area directly accessible from the Chapel. Loved it!
