Cottage vacation rentals in British Isles

“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!”

Lovely long weekend in this beautiful cottage! Had the best time! Perfect for doggies too felt safe and relaxed will definitely be recommending to friends and would book again ☺️ thank you again!

We stayed for a weekend and had the loveliest time. The cottage was gorgeous and the view was stunning! The hot tub was easy to figure out and it was the perfect size for two. The local area was very quiet and we were surrounded by nature. We will definitely be coming back!

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.

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

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was lovely and cosy and as described. It had everything we needed so we could cook our meals and included all the bedding as well. There was a lovely little outside space too which would have been wonderful in warm weather. Unfortunately when we stayed we were unable to use the fire due to crows nesting which was a shame, especially as it was very cold and windy for us, so it might be worth checking for anyone else if this is one of the main features that appealed like it did for ourselves. There was no local shops but Tenby was a short drive away with plenty of places to visit and lots of beaches nearby so the location was great. There is a local pub but only open Friday and Saturday evening. Sleeping arrangement was great as well but there is no door between the snug and the lounge so be aware if you have anyone sleeping on the sofa bed like we did. Overall a beautiful cottage in a great place, we’ll definitely be back.

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!

Lovely clean house with super access to the harbour, parks and the seafront, as well as being a great place to access the beautiful area around. Thank you for the stay.

2 night stay at the cottage and we had a lovely time. The cottage was cosy, quiet and cute. The local pub over the road is a great place to eat and we was able to head off for waterfall walks without using the car. In all a fab place to stay with all you need for it to be home from home. Would stay here again. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Wonderful host. Beautiful cosy, clean and comfortable cottage. So peaceful. Would highly recommend. Perfectly positioned to visit many of the Cotswold villages and attractions.

This is my 4th stay this year and you will not got a better place to relax. Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. Plenty of lovely local places to eat. Would highly recommend

Katarina is an amazing host. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The little house is even more gorgeous in person than in the photos. Super clean and left us wanting for nothing. The views are insane with lots of privacy but not too far from Goleen village, Crookhaven or Schull for adventures. Albert is a sweetheart and super friendly. we had a great time and so did our 9 month old puppy Molly. Thank you for having us!

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.

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

A lovely cottage in a great location, close to lots of places to visit. It is within walking distance of Traquair House, which is definitely worth a visit. Really well equipped and comfy. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden which is a sun trap. Hope to be back in the future.
