Family-friendly vacation rentals in Great Britain

Stayed here for 2 nights for the bank holiday weekend. The area was beautiful, the Lodge itself was modern and very clean. It made for a perfect get away with the private Hot Tub and cosy fireplace over looking the scenic view. Lodge was very private and secure. They provided firewood and blankets for the nights we were there and hosted a small shop for immediate conveniences such as drinks and snacks. Their information booklet had detailed lists of local shops, restaurants and nearby walks which was amazing, it saved us a lot of effort in a new area trying to find things to explore. We didn't get chance to check out the farm they had with several animals but were lucky enough to have the farm house cats come visit us each morning which we loved!

This has to be the best ever beachfront apartment we have stayed in. Spectacular views, spacious balcony, superbly equipped and everything worked without any hassle. The Leisure Club is an added bonus for me - brilliant pool, fitness equipment and the jacuzzi plus the outdoor terrace and restaurant with great meals, especially the (takeaway available too) fish and chips. The purpose of this trip was a holiday for my 94 year old Mother - above all the apartment was very safe/secure, accessible, the few steps to the 1st floor are manageable and the lift means getting into the apartment is easy. Totally recommend this apartment!

What a wonderful spot and cottage to fully unwind for a couple of days. The cottage is set in the most peaceful and beautiful of settings, with easy access to the lake and beach area. The cottage was quirky, quaint and eclectic and we all felt at home and relaxed as soon as we stepped in. The added extra touches from Mark and Ruth were lovely and we felt really welcomed to their space. The cottage has everything you need and it made for a peaceful and relaxing few days to relax and recharge. Thanks again for letting us stay.

Rosie’s Retreat was absolute heaven. Quiet and private but close to Bude, pubs and beaches, the hut made for the perfect getaway. The view out over the valley was gorgeous, even in the rain sitting inside with the doors open was a delight. Lucy’s instructions were easy to follow and clear, important to get you out to the hut along a small country lane. It was clean and every detail was thought of. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing hideaway.

Place looks exactly like the pictures, enjoyed the hot tub and they had set up the little stove to light the fire easily at night! Lovely and quiet place to stay

Beautiful gardens quaint cottage. Annex rustic and serviceable. Different pictures on line. Courtyard looked very different as did the funiture in the front room. The bathroom needs updating bit too rustic for me but thats my opinion. Very comfortable and outside is outstanding.

We had a great time at Ross and Diana’s place. Such a beautiful spot and so quiet. The view from the hot tub was our favourite part. It was also amazing to be able to walk the dog on quiet roads to a loch and a pub. The property was a unique experience, cosy and comfortable. We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The jacuzzi was lovely! The hosts were great at providing us with all the information we needed for a stress free check in/out and a perfect stay. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mini break. Peacocks were a lovely surprise seeing them walk around the estate. Thanks again!

The cottage was exactly what was listed and what we were looking for. The Host was always responsive and friendly with many helpful details. The cottage is cosy and in beautiful surroundings with friendly neighbours. It also is well equipped for short or long stays. We will definitely recommend and hopefully come back soon! Thank you

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!

Beautiful airbnb in a perfect location, Iola was so helpful and has clearly kept the property in a wonderful condition with all the amenities you may need. We were delighted with our stay and would recommend to everyone. A perfect location for those planning on a a walk up Snowdon, especially on the Watkin Path.

This is an outstanding location. If you stock up on supplies, you could stay at the cottage and garden for days and never tire of taking in the views of the loch and the surrounding mountains. That said there are great hikes and walks nearby; For the adventurous, I’d recommend Beinn Bheula via Sruth Ban falls. The eastern side of the loch where the cottage is located feels particularly remote and peaceful. So much so, we’ve booked a return trip in the winter, when we look forward to getting the log burner on and taking in the beautiful panoramic views from within the living area.

We stayed here for a wedding we attended nearby in Honiton. The location and the space are brilliant and easy to get to. Cosy and clean space. Plenty of amenities and snacks provided which went down a treat after a long evening...! Phillip was a very welcoming host and overall this place is exactly what Airbnb should be.

I had a lovely handwritten happy birthday note and a pot of their own honey when I got to my apartment. A really thoughtful touch.

We loved our stay. It was very peaceful even though it was Easter weekend. It’s great for dogs with a good enclosed garden but also a short walk down to the lakeside with lovely walks. The chapel is very well laid out with everything you need for a great getaway. We loved this place and will be sure to return

Really enjoyed our stay at Dawns, started with helpful and easy instructions. Dawn was really accommodating and made us feel at home. The place itself was beautiful had everything you needed for a few days away. Location was stunning, extremely peaceful and we will definitely miss waking up to that view every morning!

Gorgeous barn with an incredible under cover pool which was perfect when it rained! Host was brilliant at communicating. The barn is stunning so much space. The hot tub was a great addition as well. Cannot fault it. Perfect weekend away

Beautiful cottage set in wonderful grounds with a playhouse for the little ones. The pool was great too. Such a great place to stay, and under 10 minutes from Ashbourne. Around 30 mins to kid friendly hiking/walking in the Dales. Highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable. Completely renovated kitchen. We had a lovely sunset walk on the beach. We used taxis and recommend having a car. Spectacular location right on the beach. The caravan park was very well kept and check-in was a breeze. We would stay again and highly recommend Julie's wonderful sea cabin.

Our third stay at the Shippon and our two autistic boys treat it like a home from home. So relaxing I didn’t want to leave. Our youngest loves water and animals so swimming, hot tub, fussing the lovely dogs, feeding Monty the horse carrots, all while being followed around by the chickens. He was in heaven! A great base for visiting family and lots to do nearby if we want to. This time we went to hoo farm, but we were generally all happy to stay at the Shippon. The Shippon is spotless and to cosy and comfortable. Our dogs love sitting on the patio watching the world go by and Newport dog park is literally a 5-10 minute walk and they love it. Thanks so much Sara and Phil, you are always so helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Rosalind was a very friendly and communicative host. She offered a range of breakfasts and recommended some lovely local walks. The property was in a fab location with lots of nice walks/pubs nearby.

We stayed for a couple of nights to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday with our 2yr old and 11 yr old. We all had a fantastic time and felt extremely relaxed. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and lots of little walks to explore from the cabin. On the first evening we arrived we were greeted kindly by Maggie's son who told us about the local area and made us feel at home. The wood burning hot tub was preheated and ready for us to get in (lots of wood provided )The view from the cabin was amazing and within 5 minutes we saw multiple hares and a deer. We then enjoyed a relaxing evening in the hot tub looking at the stars and saw a barn owl from the woods flying over us. The next day we enjoyed playing at the tennis courts provided, enjoyed a local walk to the river and the hosts son introduced us to their "teddy bear" lambs. The next morning we visited a local cafe and play area recommended by the Maggie which was fantastic. Best Airbnb stay we've ever stayed at!

We had a wonderful time. Lovely cottage, great location close to local amenities and only a short walk to the beach. We loved it!

Lorna and Dean's cottage was a so comfortable for our group and a wonderful place to make our Easter memories. Everything is so well appointed and there are detailed notes about absolutely everything. The house is so lovingly lived in and has real cozy character. The garden and pool are stunning and a sun trap for the whole afternoon. The house is located within an easy distance to so many places, we enjoyed a visit to Sandringham while there. We would love to come back and stay in the future and would recommend to family and friends.
