Family-friendly holiday rentals in Northern Europe

One of the best Airbnbs we have ever stayed at Ulrica is an amazing communicative host who really cares about her guests The accommodation is exactly as described The best thing for us was the sauna and outdoor spa The bedding is luxurious Perfect for couples looking for romantic peace and quiet I would 100% recommend

We had a wonderful time. The place was exactly as described and Theodoris was very responsive to our questions. He also arranged to have someone take our luggage to and from the place, which in Santorini that is a huge bonus!! I can’t forget the wine from his family’s vineyard he provided! The location is great as well!!

Nektarios’ place was the PERFECT first place to stay on our honeymoon. The place is private but still close to the main city in Naxos, which made getting around easy. We had some flight issues and he was so flexible with our changing arrival times. Nektarios picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the port at the end of our (way too short!! Book more than 3 days for sure!!) stay. He had a ton of restaurant recommendations, which we took, and which did not disappoint. On arrival, he had some fresh fruit from his family’s farm for us, and on our second night he brought up some dessert and raki that his wife had made. It was delicious and such a kind and welcoming gesture. The place is exactly as pictured, and the view!! Amazing. We enjoyed taking in the subset from the hot tub on the balcony. I will absolutely book with Nektarios again when we come back to Naxos. Worth every penny!

The vacation home had a fantastic location. It was cozy in every detail and we had great hours in front of the fireplace with a view of the water. Great fishing spot nearby. The host knows great spots. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

The lake was just as described. Very relaxing, and comfortable The hot tub was great in the evenings after being out exploring for the day.

We had a wonderful extended stay in this beautiful cabin which made for an ideal base for our explorations of the National Park! We found it the best escape from reality, extremely peaceful and even in the inclement Welsh weather, a cozy retreat! The bed was incredibly comfortable. We found the hot tub easy to get going and it felt very much in line with the surroundings to unwind with the fire crackling below us! Kitchen was well stocked and the wet room was great with a hot and powerful shower. Although it felt very remote, there were all the mod cons you needed!We would definitely return!

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here!! It was just what we needed during our 6 day road trip around Ireland! The jacuzzi was a huge plus for us! We would definitely return if we’re ever back in Ireland!!

One of the most peaceful and beautiful places I've ever stayed at! Very easy to check in and felt so cosy and comfortable right away. The best part was the picturesque view of the horses right out the window and how private the house felt even being next door to other guests. Definitely would stay here again - hopefully for longer next time!

We had high expectations from poring over photos and reviews of Banc-yr-Eithin prior to our stay and it somehow managed to exceed them. The cottage and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and the facilities are incredible, you want for nothing during your stay here. Highlights include watching the birds at the feeders, the treehouse, the underfloor heating in the bathroom, the sauna, the games room in the barn, waking to the sound of birdsong, I could go on! Sussanah and Hugh are the perfect hosts, they were incredibly helpful both prior to and during our stay. We were staying with a relative with health issues and limited mobility and they were extremely helpful in ensuring that he was comfortably accommodated. They dealt with this issue with compassion, discretion and kindness. We were incredibly grateful to get to sample Hugh's cinnamon buns and they did not disappoint! They were delicious and much appreciated. Thank you for an incredible stay, we can't wait to return soon!

The location of the accommodation is magnificent; directly in front of the famous mountain Kirkjufell and on the beach. Our children loved the proximity to the water. We stayed here for four nights; there was so much to discover. Our hostess was very warm and very easy to reach. We were allowed to see the lambs on the farm. When we had forgotten something in the vacation home, she made sure we got it back. Thank you again for that. Clear recommendation. We would always come back.

My stay in Sintra was truly heavenly! The peace and tranquility of the surroundings were exactly what I needed. The location was idyllic, with breathtaking views and easy access to the town's enchanting attractions. I felt completely at home and rejuvenated during my stay. The atmosphere was so peaceful, it was the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway!

We had a nice stay at the ranch! We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable. The place was as described, very cozy. Communication in advance and during the stay was quick and friendly. Only the directions were a bit confusing, but after a few detours we found everything.

Really beautiful stay in the creativity cabin. Was exactly what I needed. Stunning views, peaceful setting, cosy fire. Managed to get a few swims in on the gorgeous beach just a couple minutes walk from the cabin. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely stunning setting on the loch - we got to see gannets diving one breakfast time. It made a great base for exploring the area, both to the west and to the east. We felt very lucky to stay there. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable.

Andy, Mea (frenchie) and I enjoyed an amazing stay. The place is lovely and there was lots to see and do. I would highly recommend this place.

This house is an extremely special place. The view from the balcony into the valley was absolutely stunning, the furnishings are lovely and tasteful, and the recommendations that Apo provided were spot on. The tavern in the village fed us fit to burst, and we couldn’t stop talking about how we hope to return again someday. Thank you for sharing this beautiful space with us ❤️

Wonderful place for a family and to recharge in our busy trip to Italy. Sign up for the farm to table experience when you stay. The hosts could not have been more helpful and wonderful. Beautiful property and accommodation.

A lovely place to stay for the weekend. Beautiful caravan, with all the amenities. Incredible view of the sea to wake up to, wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was very responsive to messages and allowed us to have a later check out time. Thanks for enabling us to have an incredible weekend!

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

If you want to stay in paradise & truly want to experience what the Douro valley is all about, stay here. If you’re a bad driver, don’t come- roads are tiny and curving. A little hard to find the place - look for the church after the ship monument - it’s def worth the effort! What an amazing view right out of our rooms, living room and terrace. welcoming and accepting attitude and chill vibe. Favorite place on our trip throughout Portugal!

We had the most magical stay at this Tuscany farm! The property is absolutely stunning — nestled among rolling vineyards and olive groves, with postcard-perfect views in every direction. Our apartment was spacious, charming, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, sharing local recommendations. Our kids loved meeting the animals, exploring the grounds, and especially swimming in the beautiful pool overlooking the hills — it was a total dream! Evenings on the terrace with a glass of wine and the Tuscan sunset were unforgettable. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our family, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic Tuscan escape! 🌿🍷☀️

We have been to many countries so far. We visited Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Bułgaria, Canada,France but this place is the best . The house is very comfortable, cosy ,well equipped and it has its unique style.The garden is beautifull. We will always remember amazing sunsets and sunrises, the birds drinking water from the pool, the scent od flowers and plants.We used the pool few times a day. It was cleaned regulary. Kostas is a great host. We do appreciate his kindnese, care, generosity and hospitality. He gave us advice what is worth seeng, visiting. He even went with us to the town to do shopping. Kostas showed where we should buy the best vegetables, fruit, jest. Whatever you need he is always for you. Don't hesitate, just come to Dafni and spend gorgeous holidays.

We’ve just returned from the most unforgettable stay — and honestly, we didn’t want to leave. From the moment we arrived, everything was pure perfection. The setting is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds that feel like something out of a dream. The accommodation itself was stylish, spotless, and so thoughtfully put together. The pool area was a slice of paradise — peaceful, relaxing, and impeccably maintained. Julien and his family were the most gracious hosts, making us feel completely at home from the very beginning. It was one of those rare stays that leaves you already dreaming about your return. The BEST air BnB we have ever stayed at. Thanks again Julian

Best honeymoon place in Platanias ❤️ We thought the accommodation was perfect. A peaceful retreat in an excellent location. Shops, the beach, and great restaurants were all within walking distance. Despite this, the place offered complete privacy. A nearby restaurant also delivered food directly to the property upon request. The terrace area with the pool and barbecue was excellent. The kitchen, living room, and bedroom were beautifully decorated, and the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable to sleep in. Both the living room and bedroom had air conditioning. The accommodation also offered books to read as well as some board and card games. The owners were very easy to reach if needed. I absolutely recommend this place to everyone, and I hope to return again soon myself.
