Farmstay holiday rentals in British Isles

Alex is a true Scottish Gentleman, and a very gentle and well-read soul at that. Nestled in a small piece of highlands heaven, Alex's farm is tranquil (though there's a spot of logging over yonder in 2025) and the a-frame house matched Magnus's description and caveats. I could have spent a lot more time talking to the erudite Alex over a cup of tea, but he had sheepdogs to train! A wonderful stay indeed.

The cottage is an amazing getaway, a good digital detox in lovely surroundings with Alpacas for company. Paul was the perfect host throughout. We travelled with our pet dog too. The cottage is very well finished with all conveniences. The nearest supermarket is 10mins drive and we cooked in the cottage both nights. We wanted the two nights as a nice relaxing break. We did some hillwalking in the Slieve Bloom Mountains nearby. Highly recommend for a relaxing break away

Brilliant way to round off a great weekend in skye. Such a peaceful place filled with spectacular scenery. We loved the warmth of the bothy and Robin was very warm and friendly as a host.

Amazing stay. As a clan munroe usa member i felt like i was back home!

I wish we could have stayed another night! Beautiful location and a clean, comfortable place to stay. Martina was responsive via text and we got to meet John in person - he was lovely energy. The breakfast box was AMAZING and the cherry on top of a welcoming Irish experience I was looking for. We even got to feed the herd with John before leaving! 10/10 would highly recommend this peaceful stay to anyone.

Staying at the Granary was idyllic! It was truly magical to stay in such a beautiful stone cottage surrounded by lovely farmland, gardens, and trees. Sanchia was a superb host, responsive and friendly, and their dogs, cat, and ducks were also delightful company! We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and marveling at the view and we were able to easily visit Glendalough for a phenomenal hike. The scones, tea, coffee (including espresso with a moka pot!), and other cooking essentials were greatly appreciated. And I even got to exchange a book from their shelf, so if you see “The Last Murder at The End of The World” feel free to carry it on! Would very happily return!

What delightful hosts are Irene and David! Their home is fascinating and full of their family history and charm. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed including a lovely view out of every window. Thanks for lovely unforgettable experience.

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!

The Dovecote is a lovely place to stay, beautifully converted - and furnished and equipped to a very high standard. An interesting and thematic building. Karen was amazingly friendly and helpful, and we felt completely at home . She was very responsive and communicative throughout. It was great to be able to have use of the swimming pool and it’s set in beautiful countryside as part of the farm. We loved it and had a wonderful four day break and would thoroughly recommend it! Thank you so much. Great that continental breakfast was included. It’s a nice, quiet, private space.

Incredible stay at this dreamy spot. Felt very remote, but it’s a dream of a place on Skye!! Little luxuries around the home made it very comfortable.

Danielle from start to finish was really helpful with any questions I had no matter how silly. I booked the cabin as a birthday gift for my partner. After which I booked the extra champagne package, birthday package and afternoon tea. Danielle had it all set up amazingly and to see the smile on my partners face because of that was priceless to see. Also if you like animals the super friendly horse, sheep, cats and dogs will be right up your street as they say. I highly recommend going there. Thanks Danielle really appreciate it. Also please thank your legend of a husband for helping us with our broken down car on the day we were due to leave. I can’t thank you both enough for everything and no doubt in the future we would like to come back 😊

Had the most relaxing time at the Banchory Farm. The cottage is absolutely stunning the surrounding is peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely come back!

We really loved our stay. The cabin was clean and tidy when we arrived. It had all the amenities we needed for the stay from the kettle, fridge and utensils all the way to the towel and body wash. Honestly you could come unprepared and it will be fine.

Fox Cottage was everything we could have wishes for. Very comfortable, well appointed and provided the ambience for a great week. Could not speak more highly of the cottage.

My friends and I had an excellent stay here. The location was perfect for our biking trip and exploring the local area. The lodge was fantastic—spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and offering everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the pizza oven, which were great additions. The views were absolutely stunning. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

As soon as we arrived at Hunters Lodge we felt relaxed and couldn’t wait to get into the outside hot tub! The lodge was beautifully laid out and loved the decor throughout, very true to the pictures we saw when booking. Our host Kate was lovely, always at hand and gave very clear instructions for check in and check out. As we were celebrating my birthday, it was such a nice touch to walk into the lodge to be greeted by a balloon, birthday cake and chocolates. Attention to detail was 100%. We can’t wait to return.

What a beautiful place in an idyllic location, this was living the luxury lifestyle. We just loved everything about Queenies, worth every penny with sauna and Pilates studio for the grownups and place space and tree hut for the little ones. Our hosts were fantastic, friendly and helpful beyond expectations and one place I would totally recommend for that wellbeing retreat and escape from the hectic lifestyle of work and home. Just wonderful.

Absolutely amazing! Even better than the pictures. We were very lucky with the weather so the views were stunning. The house itself was lovely and had everything you need. Bed very comfy. Great beaches and walking nearby. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Bothy Cottage. It's located in a peaceful village where the majority of what you will hear is bird song. We appreciated the garden which gave the cottage a very secluded feeling. Everything was as described and we're glad we booked our stay in Dorset here. We especially appreciated all the detailed instructions, history of the cottage and the welcome note and bubbly waiting for us when we arrived. Would recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Claire' cottage, was exactly like the photos and description and Claire was very helpful. Thanks

Great place to stay if you are looking for something a bit different. Lovely surroundings. Hot tub fantastic for relaxing in the evening. Lots of bunnies, ducks and chickens on the property. Host is very friendly and helpful. Responds very quickly to any messages. Could have done without the 4.45am wake up call from a cockerel though. 🤣

Michaels place was absolutely incredible.. the house, the views and everything in between! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Kerry was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Michael was very responsive and gave us recommendations to do. My kids enjoyed playing outside all day. Also, loved all the big windows in the house and having a fantastic view from each one! Would love to come back and stay again one day! Thank you again for the lovely stay!

Lovely welcome on arrival. Set in a scenic location, very peaceful. Kitchen and shower areas were spotless.

What a wonderful place - so unique and tastefully decorated. We loved it and would love to come back, we really enjoyed the beautiful walk into Peebles along the river and exploring the wider area with lovely walks. I would say though that the stairs are not ideal for anyone with mobility issues - they weren't a problem for us though.
