Cottage holiday rentals in Bristol

Martin was a very responsive host! The property was great overall.

Perfect spot for a quiet weekend getaway! We were able to go to Yale art museums for the day and then came back to check out the beaches. Definitely recommend the trip to Dockside Seafood and Grill in Branford for lobster pasta! The hot tub was also the best way to end the day with a peaceful beautiful view!! Would definitely go back again!

The Cottage at Blackberry River Inn was beautiful and exactly what we needed for the weekend. Breakfast was included and wonderful. This place is a gem and we will be back for sure.

Absolutely stunning views and peaceful vibes at this sweet cottage!!! Totally exceeded my expectations. Book now or you’ll regret it!!!

Great communication with host, beach within walking distance was so nice, overall good spot within 30 mins of mystic aquarium and Foxwoods casino

Sarah's place is an absolute gem! From the beautiful views and serene atmosphere to the cozy cottage and amenities, our experience was truly special. While the weather didn't cooperate for us to use the pool, and the hot tub wasn’t available, we made the most of the sauna and spent time enjoying the rest of the property. The lake views and peaceful surroundings, made our stay unforgettable. Sarah, Anya, and the whole family were extremely welcoming and great hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and were always quick to respond to any questions. The property offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway, and it’s conveniently close to Kent for some great outings to restaurants and shops We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet retreat with nature and serenity. We’ll definitely be back!

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

We love it here! So peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful views of the lake and loved the walks and kayaking! This was our third stay. Jasmine and Jason are great hosts. There was an issue with the Keurig, and they came and replaced it with a brand new one the next day! Thank you Jasmine and Jason for a great stay!

Cute and cozy home with lovely outdoor sitting area. Woke up to the sounds of the breeze and chirping birds! You can see the water from out the kitchen windows!

A very cute and wonderful place to stay! Cozy, clean, private, and incredibly close to the beach! Lisa was extraordinarily understanding about the check-out time and process, would LOVE to stay again! :)

Jamie & Rose are the consummate hosts: clear communicators, friendly, helpful and supportive of their guests' (and their animals') experience. The cottage is New England cute on steroids, and super private. All was tip top, first rate for a country cottage experience. Thanks for making our experience so smooth and relaxing.

Loved our stay at Cameron’s in Milford! Location is within walking distance to the ocean and there were bigger beaches+parks near by (driving distance). Not much other than the beach to do in Milford but we managed to have fun plenty of fun and made lots of memories with our dogs!

This has hands down been the best winter Airbnb I’ve ever had. Even though it has a beach theme, this could easily double as a winter wonderland cabin. I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and before we left we were already planning our next trip back! This is hands down the cleanest feeling airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. They really put effort into making this place feel like a loved home. Everywhere you look theres a nod to the theme in home! The heating/cooling in the house is seriously impressive. The customizable fireplace upstairs (be careful on the stairs!) was a dream. Stargazing at night was incredible. I missed the sunset sleeping in on the incredible bed but the sunrise was AMAZING. Direct view on the front porch! Seeing the moon through the skylight while still being comfy on the couch and watching tv was absolutely terrific. From the endless amenities to the delicious food in the area, I can’t stop praising this place. Thank you guys for the great stay!

This cottage is wonderful. It is perfectly situated, right in town, with an easy walk to the beach, but it is also surrounded by woods and the river, making it feel peaceful and serene. The cottage is adorable, comfortable, and bigger than it looks. We had everything we needed. Robert was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. We had a great stay here!

Frederick and Kelly have a great little rustic cabin right on the lake. Peaceful, quiet (a tiny bit of road noise occasionally, but overall very quiet). Frederick is super helpful and friendly. Cabin was built around 75 years ago (original builder's son left a note in the log book!), so don't expect anything ultramodern.. just a nice unassuming rustic family cabin.

Hands-down one of the most beautiful airbnb I’ve ever had the fortune of staying at! Every detail - from the floor mat to the picnic basket to the window placement - was perfection. The little creek and vegetal labyrinth nearby was also such a treat. Heather and Chip were very responsive and flexible. The place is pretty conveniently located, with grocery shops and restaurants within a ten-minute drive, though I would recommend checking in before it gets too dark since the house is a little hard to find.

Fun experience at an old school camp on a lake. Lovely screen porch overlooking the lake and Meredith has thoughtfully provided everything you need for a nice stay. Will be coming back soon!

Great place that looked just like the pictures! We would definitely rent again. Brad always responded right away to my messages.

Charming home, and Cath was especially helpful with late night dining accommodations.

I can’t say enough about this very special cottage! Beautifully designed and many wonderful features; I especially enjoyed hanging out on the screened porch. Would most highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay in the area!

I had a wonderful relaxing time in this charming, well-apportioned cottage. There is a beautiful view over the marsh to short beach and it’s a great spot to see local birds - herons, red-winged blackbirds, etc. A trolley line that’s been converted to a hiking trail runs through the marsh and makes for a great walk. Lots of other fun walks nearby. it’s very quiet and cozy but still just a quick 10 minute jaunt to New Haven The piano and turntable were neat features and the house was nicely maintained and decorated. You can tell the host is very attentive to detail and committed to keeping things pristine. He was also super friendly and responsive I would gladly return to this spot next time Im in the area and heartily recommend to anyone looking to relax and recharge

Ina’s home, on 48 acres, is consistently highly rated, as it should be. It’s a perfect retreat for 2-3 people, secluded, but only a short drive to Litchfield. Ina kindly met us to give a 10 min tour of the property. Although not huge, the house is a congenial, inviting space, which was beautifully designed/built in the 50’s and sympathetically incorporates architectural components from a much earlier period. The setting, with several areas to sit out in, affords peace and spectacular sunsets. All said, this is a unique, magical space.
