Vacation rentals with a kayak in South West England

Beautiful thatched cottage in great countryside. Suited our needs for our family gathering. Michael was very responsive when dealing with a maintenance issue- and was solved promptly.

Just had an amazing weekend with 3 other couples, the location is amazing and we will be returning!

Incredible place to spend Christmas time with the family (group of 10). Alex was an amazing host, always responsive and trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The house itself had ample space for everyone and the games room was a highlight for the children. The river on the back garden and the view was serene. Also Pontypool offered all amenities we wanted, from supermarkets, parks, and pubs. All in all an outstanding option.

From the moment of booking we were given clear information and very quick response to any questions. The house and location were fantastic We booked for a family get together with our children and grandchildren, house has a great layout with bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Probably the best equipped rental house we have stayed in The kitchen had everything you could think of to cook a full Xmas lunch along with lots of games and toys for the young children. The 4 year old and 3 year old loved the kayak, with an adult of course, and there were plenty of full life jackets to ensure they were safe. Great place highly recommended

We spent a few days leading up to the New Year cerebrating my husband’s illy birthday and used Chichester as a location all of the family could get to easily as the train station is a few minutes walk away. From the very start Amanda & Dominic were amazing hosts and gave us great instructions on how to get in to the property and answered all of my pre-visit questions very quickly. We loved our stay in their home that literally wrapped itself around us the moment we entered, we all said we felt so comfortable there and the log fire was just so inviting and cosy. Amanda & Dominic were such lovely people that we had the pleasure of meeting . We would definitely stay again and recommend their home without hesitation.

This house offers both proximity to lovely Cotswolds towns and a holiday atmosphere with easy parking, leisure activities, walking paths and so on. It worked very well for my family Christmas trip; the house is appealing and we loved the presence of so much wildlife right at the end of the jetty off the living room. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and we had a lovely time in the mist.

We had a wonderful stay - we were on the island for a mix of pleasure and business, so having a great base was key. Rooms were spacious, beds were comfy and the area is ideal. Will almost definitely be back next time we are with a group of this size.

We (a group of 8) had a marvellous time at Sandy Shores. The house is spacious, stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean. The beach and town are minutes away by foot and there is plenty of parking. Mark and Helen are delightful hosts - Mark was particularly helpful when I needed help locating the rear parking area and stayed in contact to check that we were fully satisfied with everything at the house. We can highly recommend this property!

We had the most fabulous stay at Ella’s cottage it really was magical to have Christmas here with it’s beautiful decorations and soft furnishings. It was spotlessly clean and very homely. Thank you so much for having us!

wow. what an unbelievable place. Hugh and Susanna we're great hosts and lovely people. So much to do on site. I used the swimming pond for my cold therapy on Saturday morning. Used the barn most evenings for pool,darts table tennis and table football with much more in there. The cottage was absolutely stunning with everything we needed. Lovely wood burner ,underfloor heating in bathroom with lovely bath and separate shower.Watching the different birds at the bird feeders through the windows in the morning and evenings. Close to numerous walks and beaches which we enjoyed . poppit sands my favourite, just walking across the waters edge while the sun was going down. If you seen Hugh or Susanna in the day they always asked how the day had went and we be asking their advice about other places to see. 11 out of 10 from me and my wife. Thank you so much Hugh and Susanna fir being welcoming hosts. All the best for the future.

Rick was brilliant with helping us plan the trip, very responsive and helpful. the cottage was lovely and cosy, thoughfully decorated for Christmas, just what we hoped for. Rick gave us loads of helpful information and came and set up the speaker we couls play music. the only drawback is that Ruardean doesnt have shops or a pub, and you need to drive to get to the nice walks, its only 10 or 20 minutes to loads of beautiful forest walks, so not a massive deal, but you definitely need a car and driver. but overall a lovely cosy cottage Christmas, welcoming Church service, and refreshing forest walks. thank you Rick!

What a gorgeous little house, we enjoyed every minute we spent at the Piglet. Lisa gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived, the house was warm and cosy and she left us some lovely local produce and some very tasty Halloween cupcakes! Everything about the property was perfect for us, it is beautifully decorated and has lots of character, the beds are really comfy, so is the sofa and the shower is fab too. There are amazing views from the house, the garden is lovely and there’s a big field attached to the property where dogs can have a good run. The Piglet is in the perfect location to explore the island, it isn’t far from anywhere and there is a super, dog friendly pub a 2 minute drive away which serves delicious and reasonably priced food. We only stayed 3 nights, but we really enjoyed our stay and could very easily have stayed for a week, there is so much to do and see on the island - would love to come back one day soon!

Me Kerry and our dog Sasha loved our couple of days at the cottage. The cottage was sparking clean very peaceful and I would definitely recommend to anyone who fancies a few quiet days away. We will both definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Sarah Adam Kerry and Sasha 🐶

Such an amazing home from home, beautiful inside and outside, I would definitely recommend especially for anyone looking to escape a busy life to chill and recharge. The cottage was fully equipped, the bedrooms were perfect, loved the log burner and hot tub. Plenty of space for 4 adults, we only stayed for 3 nights which was not enough time with so much to do.

The house matched the pictures exactly. It is in a great location that offers lots of privacy. The house comfortably hosts five guests and has all the amenities you need. There was a helpful folder of information about both the house and the island. There is plenty of garden space a nice patio area and private parking.

We had a great time staying here the village is lovely, lots of amazing walks from the front door. The place really felt like a home from home with everything you could need to hand and Kyla was a beautiful and most generous host who really seemed to care about our time spent there. We will definitely be back here we loved it!

Great place for a big group and a dog. Fantastic location and great facilities, everything we needed, and really comfortable even when the rain was torrential. Loved the dolphin spotting in Newquay and children loved swimming with a seal in the bay in Cwmtydu. Had tasty take away pizzas from Llangrannog. Great communication and really friendly neighbour who came to check we were in okay and all the codes were working and to say to ask him if we needed help with anything. Thank you!

Such a beautiful stay. The lake is very well stocked, wasnt short of catching. Fish were very clean and active.

Lovely cosy cabin, Abi was really helpful and responded quickly to any queries we had. Unfortunately a massive storm cut our trip short but the lovely living space, log burner and spacious bathroom really made the cabin a lovely place to stay. The kitchen and bedroom combo was snug but exactly as described and had everything we needed for a short break for 2. We picked the location for Nancarrow Farm and The Tartan Fox so it was ideally located for us. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

Cwmtydu is a beautiful spot in West Wales, and Nigel's accommodation is wonderful! The kitchen has everything you need, and the cabins are cosy with really comfy mattresses (I slept like a log!) The views from the coastal path to New Quay were breathtaking. Nigel was a great host, checking in via text to make sure everything was ok We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely Cabin and its surrounding small orchard. We were able to pitch our Bell tent for extra family next to the cabin which was perfect. Lovely Peaceful location and really well set up. Great supply of wood for the fire. Cabin was cosy and clean. Toilet was fab (best compost loo I’ve used and have used a lot!) Short walk to showers (which were lovely and warm) and a sink we could wash up in on the small campsite on the farm. Kids adored the hammock. Great location on the Lizard. Only thing I can think to mention is that there is no cool box so if wanting to keep food cold best to bring your own, we bought a bag of ice from the local shop to keep things cold in ours. We will definitely be back!

Cosy cabin in a quaint village with a great pub only 2 mins walk. Louise and Steve were friendly and very responsive, and allowed us an early check in which was hugely appreciated. There are walks from the front door, though having a car is recommended to really see the sights of the Lizard peninsular. The cabin has everything g you need for a short, comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped so you can make meals, and there are great restaurants a short drive away (as well as the pub, which normally does food but regretfully the chef was recovering from an op when we stayed so the kitchen was closed). You must try a Gear Farm past when you visit, one of the best I've ever had (and I grew up in Cornwall so know my pasties!). Definitely recommend this stay, and we would come again.

We loved our stay here. The cabin is stunning with a fantastic, peaceful view of the river and marina. Fantastic location for exploring Bath should you wish to, or just put your feet up with log burner on and relax. We’ll be back!

We stayed for a few days at this charming little cabin, and found a great place to stay. A short walk to bars and restaurants of Totnes and close enough to the moors for some exploring. We would be happy to stay here again.
