Cottage vacation rentals in Europe

“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!”

Rosie and Phil were fabulous hosts. They were nearby and helpful throughout our stay. The accommodation was very clean, and the beds and furniture were comfortable. We are lucky to have stayed in a lot of great spots in the EU and UK, and Rosie's place was one of the best! It's a great balance of remote and private, but Beddgelert is just minutes south, offering nice hikes, bars, and a few shops. The Cwellyn Arms to the north is also a great choice for interesting eats. Snowdownia is really right in your backyard. The hot tub was great (with a view!) and we enjoyed coming back at the end of the day to see the spring lambs cavorting in the yard. EASILY accessible to Betws-y-coed to the east, and Caernarfon to the north are all an easy drive. Our only regret was the short (3-night) stay. We'll return!

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

Had a lovely stay at the Cottage. Clear instructions provided to gain access to the property. Accurately described and met all of our needs as a family. If anything the listing doesn’t do it justice. Nice location for lots of local dog walking and plenty of beaches commutable nearby. Will 100% return in future.

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

Lovely cottage in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable, Diane has thought of everything and the little extras like the dog blankets/bowls were very much appreciated. The wood burner made us extra cosy when we had a rainy evening. Great to have parking and somewhere near to exercise our dog. An ideal location , we had days out to Kielder Forest & Seahouses as well as exploring the Roman fort sites. Would definitely recommend this cottage and hopefully we will be back. Thank you.

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.

It was one of the best place to stay! Our 2 years old daughter and dog enjoyed the safe, beautiful garden a lot! We would love to back for sure!

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!

Simple and efficient communication with Delphine, ideal setting close to the sea, clean and well arranged accommodation. Ease of access by car and baby supplies available: we'll be happy to come back!

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.

Very convenient location, 3 minutes from the stunning Dark Hedges. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, exactly as in the pictures. There was a great selection of tea and coffee together with snacks. It was nice to stay at such a traditional but at the same time refurbished cottage!

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

What a fantastic experience staying here. David was friendly and attentive. The house was very spacious, beautifully appointed and charming. The bathroom was very appealing and the bathtub was perfect. The property was spectacular. We would highly recommend this place to all.

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.

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
