Canal-view Stunning City Living
We loved our stay here. The apartment is gorgeously decorated, clean and practical. The location is ideal for anyone wishing to explore the local area, lots of fabulous restaurants near by and of course the views are beautiful. The team were fantastic, incredibly friendly, helpful and responsive to all messages and phone calls. Would absolutely stay here again!

Waterside Studio flat - Sleeps 2 - Central&Parking
We had a wonderful stay in Susie's flat. Its location is ideal: very easy to find, close to everything on foot and magical with its little patch of garden in front of the river where we can watch the swan that has taken up residence in front of it. Susie was kind enough to allow us to drop off our luggage early on our arrival so that we could start our visits while waiting for the housework to be done. The flat is spotlessly clean and comfortable and I don't think I've ever seen an Airbnb kitchen so well equipped. The milk in the fridge, savoury biscuits for aperitifs and sweet biscuits for tea were also much appreciated. If we come back to Stratford-upon-Avon this is where we want to stay as of all the accommodation I have had in the town, this is my favourite.

STUNNING city-centre 3 bed. River views + Parking
Great apartment! Very easy to find and clear check in and check out details. It is a huge apartment so as a group you have loads of space. Our stay was great thanks to Charlotte! It was slightly noisy at some points in the night but it may have been because it was a bank holiday weekend. Didn’t bother us and was expected due to such a central location.

Beautiful waterfront penthouse
The apartment is in a stunning location overlooking the SS Great Britain. The apartment block is very well kept, situated in lovely gardens. Inside, it is very comfortable with expansive views of the river from the lounge and terrace. Would highly recommend.

Spacious 3 Bedroom Queen Square Apartment
We had an amazing weekend at Dave’s place, met with two friends to explore Bristol and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for that, so central and everywhere was walkable, so much to do! The space was huge, felt very luxurious and full of thoughtful touches, would recommend!

Luxe Apt with River View - Next to Harbour & Cafes
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Nic and Emily's place. The flat is new and beautifully decorated, with high-quality furniture and kitchen appliances. It's sparkling clean and boasts an incredible view, along with convenient parking. We were initially a bit concerned that it might be noisy, as it's located on the riverfront. However, the bedroom windows face the inner courtyard (as shown in the photos), and the windows themselves are very high quality, so it was actually very quiet and comfortable for sleeping. The location is also great – just a 10-15 minute walk from the city center and nice restaurants, yet the area itself is quite calm and residential overall. We highly recommend this place.

Velvet Nest 5 min walk from train station
Katie was very helpful and responded quickly to messages. Lovely view of canal from window :)

Luxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in The Docks
Great place to stay if you want to be within easy walking distance of all of the amenities. The place was clean and spotless and well presented. The heating was on so it was a bit warm when we arrived. Secure parking was a bonus albeit a bit tricky to manoeuvre in a small space. You wouldn't get a large car in and there was restricted headroom if your car had a top box. The whole apartment was well equipped although an oven glove and baking trays would have been useful and the saucepans had seen better days. Overall we would give it a 5 star rating as the issues I mentioned are really only an issue if you are cooking for yourselves. And be prepared for the seagulls as they can be a bit vocal at night. But we enjoyed our girlie break and had a super time.

Modern contemporary home in beautiful setting
Stunning property. Stayed as a family aging from two to eighty three and Sunset lodge had everything you could need for a comfortable stay away. Kitchen has everything needed and more to dine in. Modern, comfortable furnishings in spacious rooms all with lovely views of the water. Safe for children and easy to move around with a partially sighted guest with limited mobility. Michelle was a fantastic host, always responsive and provided lots of information regarding the property and site. Lovely indoor and outdoor swimming pool on site in the spa with booked slots so didn’t get too busy. Site was beautiful, quiet and calm for a relaxing short break with family.

Amazing Victorian House overlooking the docks
Jerry and Jacqui couldn’t have been more welcoming and we had a wonderful stay in their exceptional home. It is full of fascinating artifacts, brilliantly located and very comfortable. Many thanks indeed.

River front unique stylish home with free parking
Had a fab 3 night stay, great location for us, could walk everywhere. House was lovely! We didnt mind being in the middle of two pubs, both worth a visit. Thank you Debbie, hope you'll have us back again 😊

The Boathouse Stone Cottage
Perfectly located stone cottage in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon with a car space, great for a family of four or less on the riverside. The cottage provided everything needed although due to where it’s situated we were rarely at home. Definitely recommend and would return ourselves. The free boat ride was the cherry on the top of a fabulous weekend, particularly for our kids.

Beautiful lakeside retreat in Cotswold Water Park
We had a lovely Easter break in this house with our family (8 adults). The weather was perfect so we enjoyed playing tennis and paddle boarding on site and walked to the pub in the village.

Luxury riverside home 4 bedrooms 5 bathrooms
Really loved our long weekend here. The place is incredibly well appointed and beautiful throughout. There are luxury touches and the owners have done a fabulous job of ensuring that guests receive a premium experience. Nothing seemed too much trouble and the proximity to the river and also to the centre of Stratford made for a wonderful stay. My guests and I would highly recommend! 🙂

Stunning Cotswolds Lake House with Spa Heat Pool
Lovely place right on the water. Looks better than the photos. Had everything we needed in a great location with access to pool and with onsite restaurant and little shop. Perfect for a get away would come again
Waterfront condo accommodation

Central waterside
Quiet and off the beaten path, but a quick walk to town. Loved the faint sound through the window of the little river running next to the apartment. The place was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Feels like it was recently redone. We appreciated the heater in the bathroom to warm our towels. When we messaged her with a question, Lesley responded very quickly. Would love to stay there when we visit Oxford again. This place is a gem!

Reed Warbler HM111 Penthouse Lake Retreat & Spa
We had a wonderful stay at Lower Mill Estate with our baby! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a young family. Our little one loved the soft play and park area, and we enjoyed meals at Balihooo restaurant. A special thank you to our lovely host, Jane, who was so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

'Heron's Rest' canal side apartment with parking
Thank you Aubrey! It was immaculate and we had everything we needed. The canal view in the really cute garden was a lovely place to enjoy the sun. I stay in a lot of different airbnbs, I can honestly say it was up there with the best. I highly recommend staying there for some peace and relaxation. Thanks from me and my Ma x

Perfect City Centre Apartment- Best Location*****
Nice, modern 1 bed flat only 10 mins or so walk from New Street Station. Flat was comfortable and well appointed, plenty of bars, restaurants, shops etc. a couple of mins away. Khalli was responsive and pleasant and gave us easy to follow instructions for check in. Would happily stay here again if I needed something in Birmingham.

Emilie & Steve

Creatives Apartment on the Harbourside
Kelly was a great host and the apartment was in an amazing location and perfect for our stay

Harbour side central location
Stuart's place was super convenient, very responsive host. The location is right on the harbourside which I think is the best part of Bristol. Really thoughtful to leave a couple of treats in the kitchen for us. It definitely felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended! Thanks again!

Spacious Regency Crescent in Idyllic Location
We had a glorious weekend at Emma's flat. Very well equipped and every last detail was thought of. Brilliantly situated for getting around Bath, with nothing being no more than 10-15 minutes walk from the flat. Very comfortable and warm, for which we were most grateful for over a rather chilly weekend. We brought Tolly, our shitzu along too and he was very well catered for too.
