Beachfront vacation rentals in British Isles

Cosy cottage next to the sea. Stunning views and peaceful location. The view of the stars at night was impressive - no light pollution. Lots of birds to watch and great rock pools. The house was warm with a log fire. The bedrooms were a good size. Beds were comfy with clean linen and bedding. We like the area and would like to come back and explore more soon.

Really nice little spot right by the beach! Great views and a really peaceful area. Lisa was so lovely and really responsive to any messages. Great communication and clear instructions with check in and check out. Really accommodating for our dog as well and made his first holiday perfect! We couldn't have asked for more 🥰

We had a lovely weekend away. House was perfect for two family’s and pets . Hot tub was a big hit for the kids and adults . Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Stayed at Carey's place whilst having a kitchen renovation. Flat was exactly as described and had absolutely everything we needed. First class accusation with very efficient heating system and excellent shower. If we need another break, would definitely stay again. Local area is beautiful with friendly people

A superb home with character, design features, and so thoughtfully laid out. I knew that the location was about rest, relaxation and peace but the physical location of the house with direct access to the sand dunes and the beach was epic. My partner and I took out three dogs with us and it was the exact medicine needed for complete rest, relaxation and was an oasis of calm. The sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Sophia was an impeccable host and I could not have asked for me. I have never wanted to book the same place twice but.... I will be booking again.

We originally booked for 4 nights but ended up staying for an extra 3 as well, so there's a bit of a clue of how much we loved this place. Everything you need to have an enjoyable stay is provided, it's very comfortable, warm and clean. I spent many an hour on the balcony just looking out over the beach watching the tide come in an out. The view for the weekends beach motocross was just an added bonus. The beach is fantastic for walking your dog but do be mindful the military cordon it off some days for training, usually from 8am. There's a couple of pubs right on your doorstep, both dog friendly, I recommend the Springwell Inn and the Chinese restaurant is worth a visit. Communication from Matt was quick and friendly, all the details he gave were spot on and made getting into the property really easy ! There is also an allocated parking space which made it even easier. We're allready looking to see when we can go again. Thanks Matt !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the house was comfortable and clean and had everything that we needed. Very happy with the host and had no problems at all. Excellent communication. Definitely recommend and would love to return for another stay in the future.

We had a fabulous stay at Barefoot. The house was terrific - great set up inside, extremely clean and comfortable and with all we needed (and more) for a perfect few days at the beach. The location is amazing - literally right on the beach, nestled amongst beautiful dunes which the kids adored. And being able to step right onto the sand was glorious. Mark was extremely helpful with all we needed and also local recommendations - communication always v quick and easy. Thoroughly recommend staying at Barefoot! We are sure to be back!

The apartment itself is stunning, with sea views from every room, providing beautiful sunrises. It was clean, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. The kitchen was a standout feature, fully equipped with everything imaginable, plus the added convenience of a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher – a huge plus for an stress-free stay. Although we didn’t bring our children on this trip, I appreciated seeing children’s cutlery bowels & cups. Melanie's thoughtful welcome package of tea, coffee, crumpets, and butter was a lovely touch. Melanie was also so helpful & came back to me really fast when I had questions. I would like to add, it’s your driving in it’s worth picking up shopping as there isn’t any supermarkets in walking distance.

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Julie couldn't have been more helpful if she tried. A wonderful place to relax and rewind, also an ideal location for day tripping to the many castles, beaches and historic beautiful parts of the South Coast of Wales. This home is wonderful, with all the home comforts anyone will need, we couldn't have wanted for anything better. We SHALL return. Thank you Julie. x

Our stay at Amanda's place was brilliant! The chalet was very clean, especially with the bathroom and kitchen being spotless. The hosts Amanda and David kept us informed and we got all the required information in plenty of time. All the amenities worked and we were able to settle in very quickly. On arrival there was some tea, coffee and milk available to make a drink so that was a lovely touch. The only down side I would say is we found it a little chilly (even with the heaters on) but that is to do more with the season than anything that the hosts could do. I would definitely recommend for families as everything was there for all of our children (even our 3 month old) and the included amenities on the site are excellent.

Our family of five loved Graham's cosy caravan. Great beautiful beachside location to explore Edinburgh and the stunning Scottish coast from. Thanks Graham!

On arrival we were welcomed by Carol which was great and not expected. Lovely accommodation for us and the grandchildren, lots for them to do, including learning to swim and play areas. Very peaceful and beautiful views. Highly recommended 👍🏾

We had a 2 night stay the caravan was located with a sea view and i enjoyed listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore . The caravan was spotlessly clean with bedding and towels included. The kitchen had everything including a coffee machine . An enjoyable stay with plenty to amuse in Gt Yarmouth. Would recommend.

We had such a restful weekend. There is a very special atmosphere in this house. It’s organised so well. Everything you need to relax by the sea is thought of and the host and hostess Andy and Rachel were so helpful providing information on everything one could need. We highly recommend.

Our Christmas stay at bec,s caravan was amazing, it was lovely and clean and very peaceful, we had everything we needed. She even left a lovely card and a few goodies which I thought was a lovely touch . We had a throughly enjoyable few days break . Would highly recommend this just and the site .

Myself and my partner stayed two nights, the location is perfect. Less than 5 meters from the front gate to the beach. Less than 3 minute walk through to a local pub/restaurant. The inside of the property is exactly as described. Overall we had a lovely time and would come back again. Thank you Austin.

Amazing stay in Selsey! The beachside view was breathtaking, and the modern design made it so relaxing. As a group of couples, we settled in the moment we arrived. The peaceful surroundings and stylish, creative vibe made it feel just like home. The games on the shelves and well-equipped kitchen with quality cutlery were great essentials for our stay. Highly recommend to anyone!

We stayed for three nights over half term. The photos don’t quite do this place justice - I’m not exactly an architectural connoisseur but the place is stunningly designed with bifold doors straight onto the beach and a fire with ‘floating chimney’ visible from 360 degrees in the living area. Jo was an amazing host and showed us around personally, as well as supplying a very nice welcome pack and ample firewood! Whilst being right on the beach, this always felt like a very peaceful location. We enjoyed being able to do a bit of beach combing from the door as well as walk to the nearby nature reserve. Also had a very nice day out at West Wittering which is a relatively short drive. The weather was mixed during our stay (it was February!), but this the place is equally well equipped for a bracing walk followed by time by the log fire and more sunny days. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a short break by the sea.

We loved our stay over an extended weekend. As a retired group of five we enjoyed local walking, scenery. The hot tub was a great extra that was enjoyed. Lovely place to visit, it’s an area we know well, we enjoyed our time in this lovely location. The accommodation was excellent, lovely and clean and homely with great views. Sue is a great host and focused on making our stay enjoyable. On our list of return destinations.

We had a lovely stay here in Waterford! The hot tub was so relaxing after long days of hiking. Lots of room and a cozy living room to watch movies together.

Absolutely amazing stay! Right on the beach and beautifully set up home. The entire family had a great time including our dog who spent the whole weekend running on the beach.

A wonderful 4 days away over Christmas, with family and dogs. The beach was within walking distance and it was a pleasure to go walking there with the family. We were there over. Christmas and the kitchen was very well equipped for cooking our Christmas lunch. Esther was very welcoming and replied very promptly to the one question that we did have for her regarding the property. We would rent the property again, it was lovely and well equipped, but the best thing about t was the access to the beach. Thanks Esther

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home from home. The kitchen is well kitted out, clean cosy beds, nice modern bathroom. There is only one bathroom and toilet combined so organisation or a rota is essential when trying to get five/six adults out the door at a certain time. Great location for those who love the great outdoors. Mike was very quick and efficient getting back to me with an answer to a query during our stay. I can't wait to return.
