Holiday rentals with lake access in Greater Manchester

Terrific home, really enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, very relaxing, close to amenities, lovely view from the living room and porch that brought a serene vibe to the whole place; we had a ball! Would definitely book again!

Jade was a very helpful host. The area is traditional for the area, lovely nature reserve on back of rear garden for walks. The cottage is just lovely. Warm and cosy. We will definitely return here.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house is spacious with plenty of ensuite bathrooms. It was cosy, comfortable and perfect for us as a group of friends but would be good for families too. The location is lovely- it is set in a charming area with a shop just a minute away. We loved the fact it is surrounded by picturesque English villages with quaint cafes, restaurants and really gorgeous old pubs with open fires. Lovely rambles on the doorstep too. The house itself was idyllic and spotlessly clean. French doors in the main bedroom and living room open to stunning lake views creating a peaceful, nature-filled retreat. Waking up to birdsong and watching ducks on the lake was magical. Handy for quick access to Manchester and airport and great value for money. The host was helpful. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay.

I had a fantastic stay at Sunny’s 2-bedroom house in Wigan. The location is ideal—just a short drive from the town centre yet peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect base for exploring or relaxing. Alexandra Park is a 10-minute walk away on one side, and the canal is a 10-minute walk away on the other side. If, like me, you like going for runs, this is perfect. The house was spotless, spacious, and even had a garden. Both bedrooms were comfortable and well-furnished, and the living area was cosy and inviting. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home, like fresh linens and a few welcome treats. Sunny was a great host—friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right for my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. If you're visiting Wigan, this place is a real gem!

Hamed's home from home was ideal for what we needed given our temporary housing issue (waiting to move into our new house). Hamed's home is spacious, secure and in a nice quiet spot. Hamed was very accommodating and extremely good at communicating. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of spare herbs and sauces, which was great. I didn't get chance to check out Pennington Flash (a local nature reserve) but me and my daughter did head round Bickershaw Country Park which is literally 2 minutes from the end of the road, and that was a lovely quiet spot. Thanks again Hamed for everything, it's really appreciated.

My four children and I enjoyed a comfortable one night stay in this beautiful property. We had a warm welcome from Jennifer and felt right at home . We only wish we had been staying longer

Super three bedroom house in a location convenient for many of Manchester's attractions.

nice host,very helpful and response quickly. nice house and good location. Just a few minutes drive from groceries store.

Our stay was lovely, the price was very reasonable and Fatima was very quick to respond to our messages. There was a disruption to the water at one point due to some nearby construction and she was very quick to send someone to check on the water, which we really appreciated. But a couple of things could really have improved our stay. My girlfriend felt that a small bin in the bathroom would have been very handy and we were also disappointed to find that there were no cereal bowls or pasta dishes in the property, only plates, so we had to pick up some extra crockery.

This is one of the best places I’ve stayed in Manchester! Great view from the balcony, inside was pristine, felt so clean and new. A perfect apartment, well worth the price. Has everything you need. There’s a beautiful gym and nice study area in the lobby, such a great vibe. Sainsbury’s being literally a 1min walk away was so convenient! Amazing place will definitely be staying here again. The host Josiah was a pleasure to talk to. Extremely helpful and responsive, made our stay even better.

Fabulous place in the perfect location, easy access, privacy, loads of space. Was immaculate on arrival, lovely and warm and with everything we needed for a short break. Had our 2 dogs with us and its perfect for them.

Great stay for the entire 4 weeks stay. The apartment located in high standard new building area called The Assemble, Very high security. Location excellent in the heart of the city, all our needs by walking distance. 15 Minutes to the center, shopping mall, restaurant, coffees, Train station ( Piccadilly) very close. We had Super Host gentlemen MR Niklos was very close to us and respond to our needs & clarification. Future visit to Manchester will be with him.

Raya was an amazing host. After needing somewhere else to stay last minute I found Rayas place available. Raya was very responsive and we quickly made arrangements for my booking she was very helpful and was there to welcome us when we arrived and offer local information to where we could go eat and have a look around. We had everything we needed and I would happily stay again. Thanks Raya for being a great host.

Nice location, quiet, very close to a tram station. Noiseless apartment building and next to the canal. We'll stay again soon!

Lovely view over Manchester at night nice peaceful apartment

Lovely flat in a quiet area, with everything you need for a long or short stay

An absolutely lovely stay. The house is directly on the canal and we were able to enjoy breakfast next to the path. Quiet, easy access and very homely. Close walking distance to Furness Vale and a bit further gets you to Whaley Bridge, all accessible via the canal path. Andy was in touch often, to make sure we knew what to do and to offer early access to the house. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful 2 days sleeping under the stars, of which two were shooting stars. Close to Dovestones for a good hike and literally 5 reservoirs within 2 minutes walk. Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful interior. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay. Excellent location for all local amenities and train station into Manchester. Thank you William, we had a very good weekend. The accommodation had everything we needed and a very good welcome hamper.

My friend and I had 3 lovely days at Chew Cottage. It’s in a beautiful area, with local pubs and fabulous walking. The house is quirky and as described. Lovely little garden and house was very cosy. Jeanne was pro-active in responding to a problem with the Tv signal, arranging for the aerial to be repaired the next morning. As an Airbnb host myself, I appreciated the facilities and good communication. Lots of free on street parking nearby I .e. Just across the road.
