Vacation rentals with lake access in Great Britain

Great accommodation in a quiet location with good access to the Eastern and Northern Fells. Super-clean and comfortable with everything that we needed for a self catering holiday in the Lake District. The hosts were lovely. Always available if required but very ‘light-touch’; the perfect balance. Couldn’t be better.

Lovely and comfortable house which had everything we needed. 3 minute walk to a beach and drivable elsewhere. Had a really nice few days. Thank you Vicky

We cannot say enough about Katie’s cottage! The setting, the cottage and location are perfect! Lovely, welcoming and just spectacular! With a castle ruins right behind you! If we ever make it back to Scotland, this is where you’ll find us!

We have had a lovely stay at the boathouse which was just amazing! The boat house its self is beautiful, clean and comfortable with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It is very well equipt, plenty of towels, blankets and even robes. We loved the hot tub with views over the lake. The location of the boathouse was just perfect for us and the views were stunning! We took our own paddle boards and was so happy to be able to launch straight from the jetty to explore the lake. My daughter also loved feeding the ducks from the jetty. We have had a busy few days on local bike trails, hikes, paddle boarding, boating and having some lovely meals out in beautiful Bowness, but always looked forward to returning to the boathouse! We will definitely be returning! Thank you

Our month long stay at Fortrenn was an unforgettable experience that left us feeling rejuvenated, inspired and in love with Scotland. The cottage itself is a charming blend of traditional Scottish architecture and modern amenities. It features cozy rooms adorned with local artwork and comfortable furnishings that made us feel instantly at home. The living area was particularly inviting, with a fireplace that added warmth and character to the space. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to easily prepare our own meals. One of the highlights of Fortrenn was the master bedroom, which offered panoramic views of the loch. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a luxurious bathtub. The combination of stunning natural beauty, charming accommodations, and warm hospitality helped to create our perfect vacation. Fortrenn proved to be the ideal base from which to explore all that this remarkable region has to offer. We hope to be able to return one day soon!

This home was amazing. Just what we needed to use as a base for our Ben Nevis climb. Owner super helpful and friendly. Her little welcome pack was so thoughtful and everything we needed was there. Such a beautiful please to stay with the sheep, deer and mountains to see out the window. Perfect.

Lovely home, spacious, modern, clean, and well equipped. Easy to find and Suzanne provides clear instructions and recommendations. Good parking. We used it as a base for a wedding at Stockbridge Farm Barn which is only a couple of minutes drive or under 20 minutes to walk. There is lots to do in the area (we visited Montacute House 25 mins away by car), and there are some nice walks from the house.

Had a wonderful long weekend at Bretforton Manor. Lucy was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome. Everything in the Coach House was spotless and well equipped and we loved having the use of the swimming pool and gardens which were beautiful. Our visit coincided with Bretforton open gardens weekend which was hosted in the Manor garden so we also got to see other gardens in the village as well as entertainment and delicious refreshments on our doorstep. The Fleece Inn pub is a 5 minute walk and we recommend the food there too. Perfect location for exploring the area with Hidcote Gardens and Kiftsgate a short drive away. Will definitely return in the future. Thank you so much Lucy Rob and Aslan x

Very clean and comfortable annex. Andrew received us very kindly.

Had a lovely couple of nights at the Cairnfield flat. Very comfortable and a good shower. Ruarie was very helpful with advice on the area. We enjoyed a lovely walk and visited Amy’s place for coffee and Mrs Mack’s burger van!

This apartment is all about the spectacular views - from every window. It's a personal space, comfortable, clean, warm and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a lovely 3 nights at The Stable ,the accommodation was very clean and good value.Situated in lovely surroundings for walking and touring.The local pubs offer great food.Maria could not have been more helpful and freindly

What an amazing place for a solo bank holiday weekend to reset and recharge! Terry’s apartment was perfectly located and had everything I needed. Train station close by and right next to the beach for those early morning dips and lots of amazing hikes and running routes nearby. I recommend The Smugglers Inn for a lovely Sunday Roast, and it’s right on the coastal path which is a stunning hike. There’s a lovely cafe and local convenience store for essentials right on the doorstep of the apartment - and the balcony is a prime spot for a coffee, taking in the waves and watching the world go by. Being able to hear the waves through the windows in the apartment was pretty special! A great stay and a super friendly and communicative host. Thank you Terry!

Ideally situated in the middle of Llanberis parking permit included if you needed to leave car during the day free on road parking outside that flat for overnight which we mostly nice spacious flat with comfortable beds Iona was extremely helpful

Sandra and Geoff were great hosts. Excellent and speedy communication at all times, and Geoff met me at the property to show me around and give me some useful tips and info about staying in Llanberis etc. The apartment was lovely and roomy, and perfectly placed right in the centre of the town so we could walk everywhere easily including to the Llanberis Path to take us up Yr Wyddfa. A great weekend, and great apartment to explore from. Thank you!

Chris and Sarah’s place is easily one of the finest Airbnbs we’ve ever experienced. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The place has everything you needed and more! (Thank you for the Scottish Shortbread biscuits). The panoramic views are breathtaking, our only regret is not having more time to have a cup of tea at the front yard. Above all, Chris and Sarah’s warmth made us feel instantly at home. Their hospitality set a new standard for us, and we’ll be recommending their getaway to any friends traveling to this part of the world!

We had a blissful time at the granary and would definitely recommend this place to others. It’s a beautiful building but the grounds of Coes Farm and the added bonus of having a pool (which if you are lucky is essentially a private pool all to yourself as it was always empty when we went in) make it an amazing place to unwind and rest. The property had everything we needed, including some little ducks who came to the back door to welcome us! We would also recommend a trip to Canterbury while you are here, it is a beautiful place to visit.

If you are looking for somewhere peaceful with beautiful surroundings this comes highly recommended. Jane was communicative and helpful. The accommodation was larger than it looks in the photos and felt very private. Lovely to arrive and feel right at home. Very nice garden area to sit in, complete with a thoughtful wild flower table decoration - these touches make all the difference. We hope to be back before too long.

Such a beautiful part of Scotland, the cottage has everything you need. We loved swimming in the Lock and just getting a break from the real world! Will definitely visit again in the future.

John was there to great us when we arrived late. Dora made the BEST shortbread cookies!!! Everything about this place was charming. I would definitely stay here again. It was a lovely respite from the larger cities.

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.

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.

Lyn’s place is accurately described and photographed on the Airbnb site - but seeing is believing. Having just spent 5 wonderfully enjoyable days and nights at Pussy Mouse Rew, I can say without any thought or hesitation, that it is a true 5 Star experience. In my humble opinion, it is faultless, a sublime mix of understated luxury on what amounts to 6 stunning acres of (a very private) nature reserve, flora and fauna in abundance.

We had a lovely stay at Simon’s beautiful cottage. The bed was really comfy and there was no external noise (apart from the sheep!). It was such a peaceful few days and perfect for us with our 7 month old daughter and dog. The cottage is set on the hillside with stunning panoramic views. The garden is fenced all the way round and there’s a perfectly placed bench to watch the sunset. The interior was kitted out to a high standard and had all the basics you would need. Simon was very friendly and offered some great local recommendations. We will definitely be back one day to visit again - thank you!
