Luxury beachfront apartment with an amazing view
This has to be the best ever beachfront apartment we have stayed in. Spectacular views, spacious balcony, superbly equipped and everything worked without any hassle. The Leisure Club is an added bonus for me - brilliant pool, fitness equipment and the jacuzzi plus the outdoor terrace and restaurant with great meals, especially the (takeaway available too) fish and chips. The purpose of this trip was a holiday for my 94 year old Mother - above all the apartment was very safe/secure, accessible, the few steps to the 1st floor are manageable and the lift means getting into the apartment is easy. Totally recommend this apartment!

Beachfront penthouse apartment with sea views
Lisa’s place was the best stay I’ve had in a while – and I travel a lot! A beautiful gem of a spot, surrounded by the sea, which you can see from every room. The location is excellent, nestled among shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s perfect whether you’re after rest and relaxation or a bit of entertainment – head down to the Port Arms just minutes away on a Sunday for a live band and great atmosphere. Lisa has clearly thought of everything – from the well-stocked amenities, books, and games, right down to a pair of binoculars for sea-gazing. I would absolutely return!

Cook's Quarters, Camus House, Causeway Coast
The Camus House was 5 stars all around! This place went beyond our expectations. The interior and setting was so cozy, clean, and peaceful. The host went above and beyond with providing fresh breakfast items - so incredibly thoughtful and helpful. A perfect location if you are exploring the causal coast area (car required for this airbnb). Couldn't recommend enough!

Magical Lighthouse studio with stunning sea views
What a stunning location, looking out on the sea. I spent ages looking at the birds but sadly no sight of dolphins etc. The bothy was so lovely and had everything necessary for a great stay. I hope to return. Thank you

The Bay -1 bedroom apartment
Absolutely stunning views. Carol and Martin were exceptional hosts and we loved their place! We are already figuring out when we can come back to Scotland.

Quirky & cool with amazing views to Isle of Wight
What an amazing apartment. Great location right on the beach, with fantastic views of the sea from the windows. Choice of seating areas with tables, open balcony and enclosed window area. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Easy to get to the ‘Witterings’ Chichester Marina etc. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Sam was a great person to liaise with before we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sam.

Flat C View. For sand, sea, slate and fire.
What a STUNNING place. I needed a quiet solo retreat following my 50th birthday and it was perfect. Waking up and going to sleep (sometimes several times a day!) looking at the sea was glorious. Had several baths looking up at the hills and the sky. Even baked some cookies! I left feeling restored. Couple of things I didn’t know, but that don’t reflect on Melinda as a host: - parking is on the road, not on the drive, but I got space directly outside - I could even keep an eye on my car from the bedroom! - there is a bit of a smell (from a neighbour who smokes?) that comes up into the lounge that kept me out of it sometimes - the road is quite busy with cars during the day, so you will mainly hear the sea in the morning and the evening. Rhos is minutes away - I had a couple of fab meals at Fortes. Buses are very easy - I went to Llandudno for the Thurs male voice choir concert at St Johns. Colwyn is an easy walk up the beach. Gorgeous! I’d love to come back.

Praa Sands Beach 100m-Sea Views-Sunny Balcony
Lovely spot just a walk from the beach. The outdoor balcony space was welcomed when the sun was shining after a long day walking. We had everything we needed! Rachel was great with recommendations and quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything

"Hidden gem" on Waterside w views & onsite parking
This was a perfect place for a stopover within easy reach of Brighton and Shoreham. The train station, fish and chip shop and Co-Op are all within a few minutes’ walk. Everything was clean and convenient. We had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Waterfront Cottage on the Applecross Peninsula
Tigh A'Mhulillin is a beautiful and peaceful place. We've just spent a week enjoying spectacular weather and scenery and observing the wildlife from the house. The house is immaculate, well equipped and extremely comfortable with lovely touches. Jamie has thought of everything. Thank you.

Seafront at The Beach House at 248 Lydstep Haven
Absolutely stunning sea view! The house was spotless, spacious, and felt really cosy. Clear instructions made check-in easy, and the location is just breathtaking. Highly recommend!

Stunning Kiernan Boathouse Bowness with Hottub
Had a lovely short stay at The BoatHouse. Views were absolutely stunning and the accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The beds were super comfy. The work next door was a little noisy at times but we were pre-warned and to be honest it didn’t bother us. Just beware to close the blind in the bathroom as the crane provides a direct view in! Please note that you need to bring your own toilet/kitchen roll for the accommodation otherwise everything was extremely well stocked. Would definitely return!

Lovely Beach House at Greatstone, Dungeness, Kent
Absolutely loved our stay. A beautiful home with so much space! Thank you for having us Sophia.

Waterfront Cottage - Apple Pie Luxury Escapes
A beautiful apartment with genuinely stunning views from the balcony and living room. The amenities are excellent, and the hosts fab!

Private apartment in house, with view over bay.
Great stay at Gary’s. The view from the lounge is amazing and the area is quiet and beautiful. Great place to visit north Pembrokshire. Gary is very kind and friendly.

Secluded River Thames Lodge with Spectacular Views
The Lodge is an exceptional place, in a glorious location right next to the Thames in lovely surroundings. Sarah's home is nearby but the Lodge is very private. It is about a 15 minute walk into Dorchester where there are cafes and pubs, so some people may need to drive, but it's really not far. We didn't make the trip into Oxford, it's about 8 miles but I think it would be an easy way to see the city.

Fistral Sands Beachside Flat - Panoramic Sea Views
We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

Exquisite City Centre Riverside Retreat + Parking
Very well presented, clean and lovely extra touches. Amazing location. Tom is an excellent host. Clear with instructions and house rules. Easily contactable and responsive, if required. Thank you Tom, we look forward to our next stay.

Gramercy Cosy one bedroom haven - on the sea front
We had a lovely stay in Dunoon, it is a very quiet a peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay. Paddy is friendly and helpful and her dog is beautiful and very sweet. Both beds were very comfortable, the shower was warm and powerful and the homemade bread was a great touch- we thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you again :)

Cobblerview Apartment
We had an excellent stay at Cobblerview Apartment! The view was, of course, gorgeous - but the care that Carol & Don took in ensuring our stay was comfortable was greatly appreciated and made our experience especially enjoyable. The apartment is cosy and immediately inviting, with a sizable living room space and dining table positioned next to the window and looking out onto Loch Long. Though the view you have of the loch itself is expansive, we never felt as though we didn’t have enough privacy - aside from this window out onto the water, almost all of the natural light that filters in is through skylights. We never needed for utensils or utilities, Carol & Don provided a full range of crockery, cleaning supplies and towels It’s worth bearing in mind that as this is a waterfront property, the bugs are in abundance around summer and you’ll need to have your spray on if you want to sit out on the balcony this time of year!

No Eleven@The Ironworks, Lake District
Glyn was so helpful. Initially I was overwhelmed with the instructions as I was so anxious about travelling with a vision impaired partner. Glynn’s instructions were very easy to follow, I worried unnecessarily, and Glyn went out of his way to assist me with our baggage, local restaurants etc. The apartment was wonderful and the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend the property to any prospective travellers

Stylish Seafront Flat
Really enjoyed our stay at Steven’s place, perfect location and really lovely homely flat. Definitely recommend!

Historic Lochside Woodside Tower
The location was absolutely pristine with the most breathtaking views from every window. We slept so well! Jill and Simon were so proactive and easy to communicate with. we felt very welcome and loved our stay!

Entire Apartment in Kemptown + Free Parking
Absolutely perfect stay in Brighton. The place was exactly how described and was perfect for what we were looking for. The free parking is such a bonus and caught my eye when I was searching for a place. The flat is super comfy with everything you need. Will was a 5 star host who was always so quick to reply and even got us a parking permit as we were down in Brighton earlier then the check in time. We will definitely be back.
