Family-friendly vacation rentals in English Channel

Had a lovely Easter break, George welcomed us to his lovely property, great location few minutes walk to the beach and shops, with the benefit of a quiet residential area. The property was just like the pictures, the enclosed garden with a hot tub was a real highlight for all three generations, together with ground floor bedrooms. George was quick to respond and provide help when needed.

What a wonderful place to stay. The peace I sought was found, the relaxation that was so much needed was there and very much welcomed. Days spent walking in the New Forest were finished with a chilled glass of wine in the hot tub that was tended daily by a really lovely chap. The lodge was spacious, clean and comfortable with the basics of equipment there for your use, which is helpful. The whole experience is one I shall repeat and have already begun to tell others to check it out too

Absolutely stunning home in a stunning location. Fantastic for a large family of different ages. Will absolutely book again. Thank you!

We chose Sunspan to celebrate our friend’s birthday weekend. We were so impressed with the house and it’s layout, but mainly it’s location walking distance to the beach. Clear instructions from Rachel made our arrival easy. The house was just as the pictures, the location at the end of the cul de sac offered fabulous views of the fields and a fabulous sunrise. The lounge had more than enough sofas for all our group and the inside and outside tables did also. The kitchen was modern and well appointed. The bedrooms were spacious and well furnished. The house is close to the town of Bude which has all amenities.Port Isaac , Boscastle, Padstaw are all within comfortable driving distance. Overall we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunspan, the weather was amazing, so we were able to use the outside space for drinks and meals. Perfect for our needs, would stay again

Just spent a very relaxing couple of nights at Helen’s stunning cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful, extremely clean and has everything you could need for your stay. It has plenty of room for a family but there was only two of us so it felt really spacious. The gardens are just absolutely beautiful, lovely views, with lots of nature around, happily sat out to eat meals on patio whilst listening to the birds and watching the horses and helens dogs. We sunbathed on the sun loungers on the grass in the afternoons, which was bliss. there is a lovely large Hot tub which was a lovely added bonus which we relaxed in the evenings with a couple drinks. Helen recommended Lyme Regis for a day which we did, and It did not disappoint we had a lovely day out there. We definitely will be returning to this cottage for future breaks. we will now find it difficult to find another place that will offer the same accommodation and amenities with the gardens and views as here. Thankyou Helen

My partner and I had a gorgeous stay at the shepherds hut - it’s super cosy and in a beautiful spot! The hot tub was so lovely with wonderful views and the hosts have still managed to keep the area private. It was also wonderful to see all the lambs and ducks come to visit us each day! Tracy and James were fab hosts and we would definitely come back in the future!

The place was amazing!! Very private, great responses from Kevin and his daughter Jasmine they were very friendly. Bed was super comfy and lots of storage if you are planning to stay for a week/longer. We will definitely be coming again. The hot tub was a bonus and explained very clearly how to use it! Super flexible check in time!

A lovely place to stay, in walking distance of the beach and Weymouth centre. Hot tub and other facilities were very good and the place was clean, stylishly furnished and comfortable. Host was responsive when we had an issue (many thanks to Lorraine the cleaner too who was lovely and very helpful!)

Marc and Karen’s place was ideal for our stopover for the channel tunnel trip. Very friendly and welcoming plus some touches that helped with our early departure - highly recommend

We had three lovely nights here and we were gutted to leave. Kath made us feel welcome, leaving homemade cakes for us. The house is very well appointed, with everything you can think of needing, including some milk ready in the fridge for a cuppa. Absolutely recommend it.

We stayed 5 days in Dinan and were charmed by the city and delighted with the location of the apartment. We felt at home in the apartment. Everything is clearly stated by Julie which allowed us to have perfect autonomy. We recommend this home warmly. I would also like to take advantage of this review to recommend the restaurant l 'Antre nous, rue Haute voie 20, which is excellent.

Thanks for hosting us! Super clean place, really accessible, and easy to get around especially if you’re climbing.

Really great value, finished to a good standard and very clean, had everything we needed for a base for the long weekend with two small children and a small dog. Coms were really quick and Amanda was very friendly and accommodating. Has a great parking space and really close to the beach and southbourne. Thanks for our stay

Richard and Mo were great hosts and provided us with all the information required to meet our expectations. Richard met us on arrival and it was lovely to have the basics for breakfast provided for each morning, which was an added surprise and very welcomed. This facility was perfect for my wife as she has mobility issues, and the Airbnb is all on one level with walk-in shower, so made moving around was made so much easier. We would highly recommend staying here, and will look to rebook for our next visit to Devon.

We had a lovely few days at Sue Hut and really enjoyed our stay. The place was spotless, nicely prepared for our arrival, and felt so welcoming. We were greeted with complimentary milk and water, and there were even treats waiting for our pup—which was such a thoughtful touch. The hut had everything we needed, including dog bowls and soft, clean sleeping blankets for our furry friend. The cozy decorations throughout the space made it feel warm and homely, and everything smelled fresh and inviting. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into hosting here. We felt really well looked after and would happily come back!

We had a lovely time staying at the cottage. The cottage was a great base for our exploring round the Isle of Wight. I can imagine the decking area is lovely in the summertime. Lots of space out the back for our dog to run around outside. The rooms were good size and clean and the kitchen well stocked with utensils and cooking items. Gail was very helpful and responsive and we are very grateful!

amazing place, couldn't ask for a better location, host and facilities

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the condo! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and quiet, offering the ideal retreat after a day of exploring. Communication with the host was seamless; they were incredibly responsive, kind, and made me feel truly welcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. I can’t wait to return! thank you once again.

Excellent location and hosts. Beautiful, Serene surroundings. Peaceful and quiet. Hosts Valerie and Tony were wonderful and so was their property. Beautifully set up and decorated, including some photographs taken by Tony himself. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet stay. A bit far from the usual places, meaning you will need your own transportation. But well worth it. Look forward to staying there again

A big thank you to Celine for her availability and responses to our requests. The house is perfect for enjoying a few days or more with friends or family. It is ideally located and the heated pool is very pleasant. Looking forward to coming back Adrien

A pleasant stay at Pascale's, the accommodation is as described. The layout of the cottage makes it a very private place, and in good season the terrace and pool still need to improve the experience!

We had a lovely stay for an EVJF at the castle. The exteriors of the castle, whose views seduced us. Thanks to Anna and Rob for their availability and hospitality!

A perfect weekend in the countryside and less than 20 minutes from the sea. The accommodation is perfectly equipped and impeccable! The setting is very pleasant, the mini farm, the tennis court, ping pong table, swimming pool, everything is as described, very easily accessible. We'll remember the address, we had a pleasant time with the family in this little corner of paradise.

My family and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Oaks and we all wished we could have stayed longer. The house is well equipped, clean and tidy. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 1 infant. The bedrooms were comfortable with fresh linen. I particularly booked this accommodation for the outside pool and this didn't disappoint. A perfect size pool for us and we enjoyed sitting around the garden and pool area. Beautiful Sobo beach is walking distance from the house and there are many good places to eat and drink nearby. We enjoyed a birthday celebration lunch at The Captains club restaurant which we would highly recommend, great food and attentive staff. A big thank you to Maggie And Peter for a great airbnb property.
