The Chalet at Primrose Hill BH19 3EE
Fantastic little place to stay, central to an amazing area with loads to do. Home was exactly as described and clean and clutter free with essentials provided. Barbara was friendly and provided local recommendations within the guidance. Would stay again.

The Loft - Exceptional views, hot tub & balcony
Absolutely brilliant place. Nicola was a fantastic host. Breakfast was a lovely touch and very appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone ! And the hot tub was a brilliant facility to have :) Would 100% stay again !!!

Country garden retreat near Henley on Thames
Beautiful accommodation with everything you need, including a luxurious walk in shower. The hosts could not be nicer and even gave us a lift to the wedding reception we were attending. A very pleasant short stay. Highly recommended! The Palmer family - Oxford

Spacious modern property on the edge of Dartmoor
Lovely stay! Beani was extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend.

The Studio B&B Luxury Garden Room
Extremely happy with everything at this place. Kids loved the toys and enjoyed the garden. They wished they had stayed a little longer. We appreciate that there were options of breakfast included, never got that before in any other place, very kind gesture. Very cosy and spacious. Would highly recommend *****

Caister Cottage Barn
Had a lovely stay at Caister cottage. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation was exactly as we had hoped. Lovely setting with walks straight from the house into the new forest. Easy to walk to several pubs and into Lyndhurst.

Perfect cycling, walking and star gazing base
Beautiful place at the side of Jenny’s house with a small enclosed garden area, Jenny has a beautiful enclosed larger garden which she let us use as and when we wanted with sheep and horses at the end to see. The house was like being at home, comfortable beds, clean and everything you need for your stay. We stayed with 4 dogs who all enjoyed their holiday. Location is peaceful but you will need to drive to anywhere you want to go. Would definitely stay again

Brook Lodge
I have visited Alison's lodges now several times as the location is just absolutely stunning, it's dog friendly and the lodges themselves are beautiful, cosy and well equipped. The sound of the babbling brook at Brook Lodge as I fell asleep at night was so peaceful. It's so easy to access beautiful walks very close, including within the grounds themselves, and you can also hop in the car and go a bit further afield. Alison is very thoughtful and flexible and I could not recommend this stay more. It is a little bit of peace!

Secluded, rural bolthole with tennis court
Tazmin couldn't have been more helpful. We had advanced delivery of OS maps arriving has were house hunting in a new 100x60 mile rectangle. Royal mail said they couldn't locate the proroprty but we found it easily. Tazmin messaged daily with post updates then lent us all her own personal maps and Devon and Somerset map books too. W'ed have been completely lostt getting to multiple appts without her help. A gem of a lady. Tazmins Potting Shed was stunning, restful, super comfy and stylish. we cooked most of our own meals in the modern kitchen. Love good ovens and induction hobs! Highly reccomend

Large self-contained detached studio
Susan's place was perfect for me and what I needed. spotlessly clean and a really really lovely outside area to enjoy, especially in the morning sun. Gorgeous village and surrounding area. Will be back!

‘The Den’ Self contained one bedroom annexe.
The Den is a wonderful place to stay, with a wonderful garden and stream, and generous hospitality from Sue and her husband. With good wifi and immaculate decor, it's a perfect place to stay if you're on your way to the Army Flying Museum.

Cosy garden cabin in the centre of Wareham
Many thanks Charlotte & Lobsang. Very attentive and very responsive to any questions. Lovely little cabin which was cozy and quiet. I'd definitely recommend

New - contemporary detached annexe in Bath

Beautiful rural retreat, outskirts of Swanage
Just back from a beautiful stay near Swanage. Loved the comfortable and cosy cottage provided by our warm and welcoming hosts Charlotte and Will. Such a peaceful and tranquil location. Stylishly furnished too and equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Some lovely touches as well, including fresh bread, goodies, a chilled bottle of rose and lovely Beauty Pie shower products. The location is just perfect. A 10 minute stroll to the Southwest Coast Path and Durleston Country Park just a 20 minute walk away. An easy 20 minute walk in to Swanage but allow an extra 10 mins for the uphill walk back. We would definitely come back again to enjoy the delights of the beautiful Isle of Purbeck and were better to stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Elegantly Converted Stables near Bath with Luxury Hot Tub
Had the pleasure of staying at The Stables over Easter weekend. Well kept property which was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Great outdoor area with hot tub as described overlooking the garden. Nancy was a great host and very responsive.

Modern Garden Room under 5 min walk to beach
We've just had a two night stay at the Garden Room. Location is excellant for the beach and local shops, we were extremely lucky with the weather so added bonus spending some time on the lovely sandy beach. Lovely coastal walks Hengistbury head etc..nearby. The Garden Room was clean and tidy, check in and communication from Suzy and Andrew was also excellent. Would highly recommend.

Guest suite. Private. Free parking, nr. Clifton
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and the location was very private, quiet and safe. It was easy to get to from the motorway without having to deal with city centre traffic. The bed was very comfortable and I loved being able to see the stars through the Velux window. above the bed.

Annex Ample of Beauty, Dartmoor, Devon
Compact, peaceful and characterful accommodation Well equipped kitchen

The Old Cart Shed
A stunning home from home. Gorgeous countryside all around and a lovely enclosed private garden. The barn is beautifully decorated, with really personal touches. Breakfast and essentials provided. Comfortable and just a total delight. Anna was helpful, responsive and courteous at all times. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Gerties House
Lovely stay with happy and welcoming hosts. One sweet and cuddly cat outside when sat on sun loungers. Ten minutes walk to the Tor. 30 minute walk to town, perfect. Tidy self contained flat with easy to use cooking and domestic facilities.

Bromham Cider Farm: the perfect rural retreat.
We have stayed at many locations all over the world, and this was one of the standouts. A lovely presented annexe with all that you could ever need need, with quality furnishings, a very comfy bed, ample space inside and parking right outside the annexe, waking up to the magnificant views from upstairs looking out over the fields was a real treat. Karen & Roger are just fantastic hosts, the welcome goodies where very well received especially the home made apple juice, and we very much enjoyed the apple orchard and Cider Shed tour. Roger is the most genuine host, who is willing to share his knowledge and passion on all things cider, it made for a most memorable stay in Wiltshire, we cannot reccomend Bromham Cider Farm enough. a most fantastic stay.
