Cottage vacation rentals in British Isles

Had a fabulous 2 nights at the cottage with my Mum. The cottage was cosy, warm and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed cooking a meal in one night and the other we drove 5 minutes to the local pub which served great food. We enjoyed 2 days hiking, the location was perfect for us. Coming back to a hot tub was the best feeling when you legs and feet are aching! The cottage it surrounded by fields and sheep, it was absolutely stunning. Amy was really helpful with any questions we had. Would highly recommend!

“Caitriona’s BnB is an absolute gem! Nestled on a beautiful private farm with a peaceful babbling brook, it’s the perfect retreat. The pizza oven was a fun touch, and the hot tub was always warm and ready to enjoy. It’s an ideal spot to unwind with a good book, surrounded by nature. Caitriona provided fantastic hiking and sightseeing recommendations that made our stay even more memorable. We truly didn’t want to leave—already looking forward to coming back!”

A great place to stay for an escape from the city. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and the wood fired hot tub is a great bonus. Very clean bathrooms, a good, functional kitchen and one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in made for a fantastic stay. Rhys was very responsive and helpful, a real gem in the countryside.

A beautiful, spacious cottage in a stunning location. There are plenty of incredible hikes nearby & coming back to soak in the hot tub with lovely views was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Potting Shed, it has a lovely homely feel & the area is very peaceful. The hosts James & Rachel were very kind, very accommodating & brilliant with communication, nothing was a problem. The accommodation is just beautiful, the attention to detail is fantastic & everywhere is amazingly clean. The open plan living area is so beautiful, especially when the morning light shines in through the bi-fold doors. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us to relax in, enjoy the birdsong & watch the sunset in an evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

had an amazing stay. Cottage was very clean and couldn’t fault it. Hot tub was a great extra. Would 100% recommend any of johns cottages

Lovely little house extremely quiet location it had everything you wanted made the stay so relaxing couldn’t wish for a nicer charming weekend away. Wish we had booked it for longer highly recommend it to anyone will definitely go there again

Perfect getaway. Very clean and had everything you could possibly need and more. The treats left for us were a lovely touch but the toy and treats left for Teasel, our cocker spaniel, were very well received. Squeaky donkey is now her favourite toy. Alison was a very responsive host and answered our questions very quickly.

we had a fantastic 4 days in the cottage, everything was as described, what a lovely quiet place with fantastic views. would definitely recommend and would love to stop again.

Had a great stay, lovely area, accommodation was perfect for us, would consider it again when visiting our favourite part of the world. Plus perfect host.

A beautiful cottage in the perfect location. 20-30 mins from every major place you could want to go. Cosy and homely with a lovely sunny garden. Private and secure, a real Norfolk countryside stay! We loved our stay, everything we needed was provided and Scott gave us all the information we needed to allow easy check in. We can’t wait to come back again, hopefully for longer next time. Thanks so much!

Lovely little cute place to stay. We loved it here and settled in quick

Jason was the perfect host. Great communication and the house was just great with all the touches of making sure our stay was as perfect as possible. It’s such a great base for being able to enjoy the surroundings. Our kids had the best time being able to use the estates facilities all as part of our stay at the cottage. Would definitely recommend.

Church Cottage is absolutely beautiful both from the outside, with a wonderful, sunny garden, and the inside, which is beautifully furnished and comfortable. There is a huge amount of space with the two sitting rooms, dining room and 4 bedrooms, and the whole place is extremely well equipped. There is even a second fridge, as well as a freezer, washing machine, dryer and microwave. We had a wonderful time sitting in the "snug" in the mornings before moving onto the sunny patio, and getting comfy in front of the fire in the living room in the evenings. It's a short walk to the coastal path and to the seal trips at the quay, and an easy drive to restaurants and pub in Wells or Blakeney. Sadly, the Anchor pub right by the cottage seems to have closed down. The steam train from Holt was also a fun thing to do. We can all thoroughly recommend this beatiful cottage. Louise sent really clear instructions about how to find it and was super helpful in all her communications. A great host!

We stayed in Jonathan’s cottage for 2 nights. It was clean and comfortable. Saundersfoot was only a 10 minute walk down the hill and the parking outside the cottage really good. Jonathan’s instructions were clear and he always responded quickly to messages. Definitely recommend to other travellers.

First of all, the property is gorgeous - it's in the countryside and we loved waking up and walking out back to that gorgeous view. There are walking paths nearby, a fantastic park right across the street, and having the horses literally next door was a great attraction. The apartment is small and cozy, but the kitchen has everything you need and the beds were quite comfy. Also, the hosts were very responsive with anything we needed and when we had an issue with the internet, not only were they quick to fix it, they refunded us half of the cost for the time we were without connectivity. I would definitely recommend this place and will for sure stay again next time we come to visit family in the area.

Katarina was very down to earth abd very pleasant lady we enjoyed every moment of her beautiful tiny home Really enjoyed chat with her,she gave up her time to show us around her home growth vegetables Everything is perfect the only problem is the beds that was mentioned queen beds but it wasn’t it was more like Double beds

I don’t have enough words for how much we loved our stay here. It was absolutely perfect. The cottage itself was well appointed, clean, and incredibly cozy. Everything in the home was lovely and intentional and there were so many thoughtful little touches (the DVD selection was brilliant). The location was so peaceful and stunning. The views were incredible. We loved watching the sheep! It’s also a short drive into the village, which has a lot to do. If you are looking for a relaxing and romantic getaway, this is your place!

With a privileged location, this house near Tomintoul was an a jewel in the heart of the Highlands, you can see everything as it was on top of the hills, secluded as there was no other houses so the whole are feels your and the walks we had were beautiful. My parents adored the little observatory/conservatory to spend the afternoons in the warmth and watching the ever so gorgeous mountains and munros of Scotland. My partner was a big fan of the hot tub where he spend mostly all days and it was a very enjoyable experience. Matthew was very helpful and always answered on time, by our own mistake we missed where the bins were, however apart from that the place was clean and gorgeous, in one word... just perfect to enjoy a time away from the busy-ness and stress from the city.

Beautiful location with great views and town close by. Really helpful hosts who gave loads of great recommendations

Amazing stay. Host was very helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. Will definitely return.

What a hidden little gem! Was greeted by Jenny who explained everything about the cottage and surrounding area. Cottage was so cosy with some really nice touches. Garden is beautiful and watching the birds and squirrals was was just lovely to watch in the morning. There is so much to see and do in such a stunning location. Super nice hosts and would definitely recommend.

Peaceful rural location with lots of walks both from the doorstep and more within 5-10 minute drive away. Would definitely stay again
