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.

Trafalgar Mount
The flat was gorgeous, lush soft carpets, warm, bright, gorgeous decor and interesting books to peruse. Jane really has her eye in with hospitality and there were cookies and tea, a whole bottle of proper milk and orange juice. Lots of lovely touches that made it feel like a home from home. The location is quiet overlooking the Mersey river, which is tidal and turns into a beach in the morning! Its a short walk to the ferry over to Liverpool (if its running) or bus to train /taxi ride over to all the attractions. I would highly recommend this apartment and we enjoyed the quiet away from the city too. Thank you Jane!

Fabulous Quay-side Apartment with free parking
Really enjoyed our first Air B&B experience, Niccy a great host. Apartment as described and great location.

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 apartment with bay views.
I spent a weekend at Awel's place on a writing retreat. I was looking for somewhere quiet and cosy with a nice view, and Awel's place perfectly fit the bill! The view is gorgeous, and Penarth is a lovely place all round. The flat is clean, quiet and warm (the electric heaters are excellent), the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. I would happily stay here again.

Modern Marina: Elegant 2BR with Water Views
One of the best airbandb's I've stayed in! lovely peaceful location just by the docks. The hosts were always friendly, proactive and helpful. I can't recommend this property enough, I felt right at home!

Cosy Liverpool City Apt: sleeps 6 + Free Parking
Great host! Thank you Andy for all your help during and especially after our stay! Forgot my keys, and Andy responded immediately, personally went and found them and posted them the next day. Communication was impeccable! Also the apartment was perfect, exactly as described, clean, comfortable beds, great shower, and everything needed for the stay. Nice touch too having tasty biscuits, milk, tea and coffee for arrival. Albert quay and the city were a leisurely 15-20 stroll, (or cheap Uber ride away). Check in and check out were simple and convenient. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly. Ten out of ten!

Georgian Apartment with River and Park Views
Ed’s place is perfectly situated in the gorgeous historic setting of Hamilton Square which has a train station and ferry port taking you into the city in minutes! Ed’s place is right at the top but the views are so worth the climb! Bedding and towels beautifully clean, fresh and plentiful and furnishings are comfy and non-pretentious so you feel right at home. Ed is an attentive host, providing all you need after a long drive (sorry we didn’t eat the eggs!). He left out a parking permit for us and access was easy. Nearby Wetherspoons does a great brekkie and a walk around Woodside murals are lovely and views spectacular across the river. Nearby New Brighton, Vale Park, Birkenhead Park and Priory are worth visiting as well as is the city of Liverpool itself. Only thing we missed was a dining table but honestly that’s the only recommendation I can think of! Thanks so much Ed, we will be back 😊

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 😊

Wharfinger's Cottage
Wharfinger’s Cottage is an idyllic sanctuary! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back!

The Boathouse Stone Cottage
Lovely few days in this little house for a meet up with an old friend. Deceptively spacious, comfortable and perfect for a central break near lots of the sights that were on our to do list! We just parked up and walked all weekend. Well equipped house for self catering, also handy for supermarkets and takeaways. Local restaurants and bars nearby so plenty of options for food and drink. Stratford was pleasantly buzzing with people and street art and a sunny weekend, but its proximity to so many amenities made it possible to pop back if needed, so useful for a quick slice of peace before heading back out to do another activity. River cruise with the booking was a lovely surprise and we enjoyed that before we left for a long drive home. Would definitely recommend this to others and will be looking to book again and return with my husband and kids.

Natures Retreat - HM99 - HOT TUB - Lakeside Spa
We had a great week staying at Lower Mill Estate. Lots of great memories and we will certainly be back again. Thanks!

Waterfront House, Salford Quays
A very nice apartment at a fantastic location. Close to shops and tram-station. Maybe a bit for the center of town, but for us it was perfect. And Jo was a very proactive and responding host.

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.

Waterfront Town House In Liverpool Marina
Great location, very pleasant and peaceful. Accommodation was first class. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice easy walk into the centre of Liverpool

Dock view

Hansen House 2 Cardiff Apartment /Free Parking
A fantastic place to stay with a private parking space which is a bonus! A central location to walk to Cardiff Bay and into the City Centre. The accommodation itself was absolutely spotless, had lovely added extras and was extremely quiet. Tony was a fab host with excellent communication throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Luxury living *waterfront, * parking, gr8 location
This is a wonderful and spacious flat with beautiful views over the marina. It's about a 15 minute walk to the centre and as a consequence is very quiet which was perfect for us. If staying I'd recommend bringing food/drinks with you rather than relying on local shops but there are shops within a ten minute walk. Overall this is one of the best flats I've ever stayed in and we had a fantastic time, thank you!

Holiday Apartment at Sand Bay
Our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) were very comfortable staying here. The decor was modern and lovely. The beachside views were incredible, and the sunsets! We wanted a peaceful weekend away from the noise and this home provided just that. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook a few meals, and we drove less than 10 minutes to local restaurants. Being able to walk outside and be on a sandy beach in less than a minute was more than ideal.

Established Hoylake Apartment
Hoylake is so beautiful. Clare's house is spacious and comfortable and the apartment is very comfortable and well-appointed. The nearby beaches and walks are stunning. We had a wonderful stay.

Elegant Ground Floor Apartment
Great apartment Easy to get out and about (walk, train, car) - though there is a BIG hill back Lots to do Had a great stay Apartment excellently equipped for all our needs with plenty of space for 4 adults, 2 dogs and a baby. Lovely welcome hamper and stocked fridge - very much appreciated And a bathroom stocked with a multitude of toiletries Neil very friendly - and we loved the VERY subtle nod to his work near the front door!! 😊

City Centre Apartment Marina Location free parking
The apartment is beautiful and very true to description. Amazing location and very well equipped. It is some walk from the other docks but worth it. Easily found. Claire was really helpful prior to our stay. We didn’t need to contact her during the stay due to no problems at all.

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.
