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
A beautiful place, easy to find and felt at home immediately. Very well appointed, bathrooms and kitchen spotless and very straightforward to use. Stunning views and peaceful surroundings, all made for a very pleasant stay.

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
Fantastic apartment in an area with plenty of bars and cafes and lots pleasant walks along the waterways. Although in a busy area the apartment is quiet and totally relaxing with all your needs catered for. Would definitely recommend and would return to explore the area more, thankyou Nic & Emily regards David & Sarah Hammond

Velvet Nest 5 min walk from train station
Cute flat with a lovely canal view. When I had a question about check in Katie was very responsive.

Stylish city stay in the heart of the Harbourside
Very nice place. Location is good near the harbour, nice for a walk in the evening. Apartment was clean and the bed was really comfortable!

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
We had an amazing stay here - Jane’s place is absolutely beautiful, so clean and a huge space for us all to spread out. The living room and dining table are the perfect size for everyone to get together. The best air bnb we have ever stayed in! We are already planning our next stay!

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

Beautiful 4 bedroom lake view home, sleeps 8-10
Great location. Beautiful house equipped with everything you could need to make for a comfortable relaxing stay. Very quiet and peaceful and a very well maintained site. Lots of things to do for all ages and it’s a huge bonus having kayaks etc available for use on the lake - the whole family had so much fun. We would have loved to have stayed longer - so may be back! Thank you

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!

Crescent Green
The flat, which is beautiful, well appointed and, I think, even nicer than the photographs, was in the perfect location. Close to the long stay carpark and the town centre. Lots of guide books and pamphlets available to be able to plan your visit as soon as you arrive.

NEW! Flat with log burner & parking
Thank you Danielle for a great weekend in bath . It truly was fantastic. The flat was perfect,so well thought out and such good use of space with everything you would ever need in the kitchen and a great location . We would definitely come back . Thanks again John ,Jackie and family

Creatives Apartment on the Harbourside
Kelly’s home is beautifully designed, so comfortable and homely, high quality bedding, towels & smells unreal!! Kelly was super communicative and responsive, flexible re check in & check out time and provided us with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed on a wet & windy weekend and found the apartment really comfortable, however due to the weather we couldn’t explore as much as we would have liked and were disappointed that we couldn’t find a TV in the apartment to watch a film why we waited for the rain to clear, had the weather been nicer we probably wouldn’t have noticed that it was missing! Kelly’s apartment was so comfortable the only downside was the heating was very strong and made the place warm, especially in the night, and due to the nature of the apartment block we couldn’t open the bedroom window very much to get air circulated. However, I wouldn’t let that put you off staying at Kelly’s beautiful home.

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!

Flat 1 - The Old Mill - Bowbridge Lock - Stroud
Wonderful stay, 15 min walk from town along the canal. Chris was very helpful and kind. A cosy little cotswolds getaway!

Cosy 1-bedroom apartment with free parking
So good we extended our stay. Very central for bus stops, shops, cafes and restaurants. Very pretty location near river and park. Other neighbours really nice. Quiet area. Came with own private car parking space - a big bonus. Well equipped kitchen. The flat had everything you need. Ben was very helpful and was always there if needed. Responded quickly to any questions. Washing machine was another bonus as many other places did not have this. Close to train station. Comfy sofa and chairs and bed. Overall felt homely. A fabulous one bedroom apartment. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely 2 bed apartment next to Abbey and River
This was a great location for a Christmas holiday. The apartment was clean and big enough for 5 adults and a baby. It was very toddler friendly. We enjoyed going to the cathedral on Christmas Eve and walking along the river. Local pubs were good and the High Street had lots of independent shops. I would recommend the apartment and the location.
