What an amazing apartment. Great location right on the beach, with fantastic views of the sea from the windows. Choice of seating areas with tables, open balcony and enclosed window area.

Mulberry View: Superb beachfront property sleeps 8
Philip has been a great host, and we had an incredible stay. Not only was the house absolutely stunning, but the location couldn’t be better. Despite the weather still being chilly - the house felt warm and inviting, my favourite was enjoying the sea views from the comfort of the house while sipping my morning coffee. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making this place feel like a home. We’ve travelled with two young kids and everything we needed was already there. The welcome treats were a big bonus! We’ve enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco with our friends on arrival. I hope we can return soon.

Seafront at The Beach House at 248 Lydstep Haven
Clean and comfortable. Completely renovated kitchen. We had a lovely sunset walk on the beach. We used taxis and recommend having a car. Spectacular location right on the beach. The caravan park was very well kept and check-in was a breeze. We would stay again and highly recommend Julie's wonderful sea cabin.

Large Country Cottage + Log Fire, Fire Pit Nr Bath
The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. It’s situated in lovely grounds of the main property. We used the house as a base to go into Bath for some activities

Stunning Beach House Dinas Dinlle/North Wales
We absolutely loved Deborah's place felt right at home when we walked in. There is everything you need from day one. The local area is lovely for walks and the beach is across the road. Even when it was wet and windy it was a pleasure to sit upstairs and watch the sea. You are easy reach into Snowdonia by car?, Zip world( definitely have a go) and even easier for a trip to Caernarfon. Deborah's recommendations for eating out are spot on especially the BRAF cafe next door, lovely home made breakfast with plenty of choice and amount. Looking forward to coming back. Thank you for a lovely long weekend just what the doctor ordered. Bruce, Paula, Fliss, Carl and Slex

Beautiful beachside home, amazing sea view & walks
A beautiful home overlooking the sea in a fabulous part of the world. Definitely would come back

Lovely Beach House at Greatstone, Dungeness, Kent
A delightful beach cabin experience. I booked this beautiful home for a recent girls trip. Sofia allowed us to get access early as several of us had come on overnight flights. The home is easily locatable and perfectly situated. We spent four nights, enjoying long dinners at the dining room table, sitting on the back deck, enjoying the stunning view and sleeping peacefully in the lovely bedroom. Sofia was responsive throughout our visit, and even let us check out a little bit later than planned so we could further enjoy the beach. note that this is a very low tide beach. If you’re hoping to swim, you will likely need to go to another part of the beach. The water is ankle deep goes out at that level for a very long way. The kitchen is very well appointed, the beds are super comfortable. I am a stickler for having decent hot water for a nice bath, and that was not a problem at all. Thank you so much to Sofia and her partner. We look forward ved every minute.

Waterfront Cottage - Apple Pie Luxury Escapes
Great communications from the host with some suggestions for walks/ days out and also responsive to queries. The accommodation itself is lovely and as per the photos. The real gem is the lovely waterfront view, especially enjoyed in the late afternoon sunshine. We liked Calstock and enjoyed the walk around the wetlands and to Cotehele and back and the mobile Pizza on Wednesday evenings is to be recommended. The Calstock ferry had just restarted and this would also be a nice way to head up to Cotehele and back once the schedule is fully established. Provisions need to be brought in from outside the village though, we found the Asda Express near Gunnislake pretty good for that.

Clearwater - lakeside house with hot tub and views
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful lodge in Capernwray. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views that we enjoyed every day—it was the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The lodge itself was spotless and incredibly well maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host, Luan, was excellent—friendly, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. It made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. With space to sleep six, it’s ideal for families or couples. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful location.

Fistral Sands Beachside Flat - Panoramic Sea Views
The location is perfect. Train and busstation are in walking distance. The apartment and views are absolutely beautiful, you definitely pay for this though, personally I found it quite a bit pricey but it was worth it.

Freshly decorated 2025 Thorpe bay beach apartment
We enjoyed an incredible stay at Seashells, where comfort and warmth surrounded us. It truly felt like home. The property provided everything we could want, and the location inspired joy in every moment.

THE LOFT - Amazing View! Parking! Perfect location
Pleasantly surprised with the size of the property, from photos it looked a little small but there was more than enough room. There was everything you needed, an iron and ironing board, fan etc. Location was amazing, short walk to the ferry to go over to Dartmouth. Overall a great weekend in the most picturesque spot.

Waterfront Apartment with Sauna
We had such a lovely stay. The flat is very clean, nicely decorated and the outdoor area is beautiful. The sauna was fab and we loved taking a dip in the water. Would definitely stay again!

Bay View Studio Apartment, Spectacular Sea Views.
The apartment was in a beautiful location with stunning views of the bay from both the bedroom and down on the decking / hot tub. The apartment was spotless and could tell no expense was spared when creating this space. It had everything you could need in the kitchen, as well as lots of little extras which make all the difference. We were lucky to have beautiful weather so felt like we were on holiday for the 2 days we were there when on the loungers on the private decking. Wouldn’t change anything and would definitely stay at Bay View again! Thank you Lisa for a wonderful, relaxing stay!

No Eleven@The Ironworks, Lake District
We enjoyed our family stay at Glyn’s place very much. Glyn is a friendly gentleman who provided us clear instructions and a lovely place. I’ve been in the Lake District probably a dozen times and this has been my favourite place yet - I’d love to stay again. The beds were comfy. Kitchen really well equipped even for longer stays. The balcony overlooking the river is a proper bonus and a truly delightful place for your morning coffee. I’d rate Glyn 20/10 if I could!

Stylish Seafront Flat
We had a great stay. Steven was very responsive to our questions. His place is as described and would definitely stay again.

Elevate your spirits with horizon spanning views
Fabulous appartement with superb sea view. Excellent host, always responsive. The only downside was that we found the local neighbourhood less attractive than expected, but it can be a good outpost to explore for example Rye, Battle and Brighton. (There's a lovely sandy beach near Rye in a town/village called Camber, but beware of seagulls if you picnic, which you must because the quality of the local shops on the beach is terrible.)
