Family-friendly vacation rentals in Portishead

Loved staying here for a second year in a row. The hideaway hut is tranquil and the perfect break from a busy life. Love nothing more than relaxing in the hot tub and listening to nature surrounding us. Thanks again for another perfect weekend away!

Julie was a perfect host, super accommodating, helpful and went above and beyond to welcome us. It was so thoughtful to leave a hamper of food and the kitchen was very well equipped with tea and coffee made available as well as milk in the fridge. The place was exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean, the bathrooms immaculate and there was even shower gel and shampoo provided as well as fresh, soft towels. The bedrooms were super comfortable with everything you might need as well as providing a perfect night’s sleep. I would highly recommend the apartment for anyone wishing to stay in the area. The local pub is a real gem too with excellent food, a great garden and a friendly welcoming atmosphere.

The Little Barn is a lovely property as part of the owner's larger home set in beautiful gardens. It's a great location as you can walk in the country straight from the house, there is a good pub less than 5 mins away with nice food and amazing views and you can pop into Bath on the park and ride bus, the best of both worlds - city and country! Our visit didn't go to plan as my husband was ill but Kate and Andrew were super responsive and very helpful and flexible as we navigated this. We would highly recommend this place for a trip to Bath.

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Stables. It was just as beautiful as the photos suggested and a perfect location for visiting Bath. It was a simple hop onto a bus at the end of the drive and be in the city centre within 15 mins. The quality of the furnishings in The Stables were clear to see & made our stay that much more luxe to help celebrate my 40th birthday. We had great weather and took full advantage of the hot tub to relax after a long day exploring Bath. We had a couple of queries for Nancy during our stay and Nancy was very quick to respond in a very polite & helpful manner. Thanks for a lovely stay Nancy!

Communication for excellent, as was the home made cake waiting for us! Lovely country location. Property was very clean and tidy, with plenty of towels, for the bathrooms and hot tub. Plenty of info provided on local pubs, restaurants and things to do. Guided ghost walk in Bath was great fun!

Great location in the middle of Castle Combe, to stay in a property with so much history was fascinating. The house was clean, everything worked, beds are very comfortable. Marlit replied promptly to our questions making everything very easy. We had a great stay.

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

This is our second trip here and it certainly wont be the last! We had the most amazing stay. The setting is perfect, the accommodation is perfect and the hosts are perfect! We even had 2 little dog friend's throughout our stay. Thank you so much and see you next time!

Hope Cottage is amazing. The location is wonderful, the house itself has everything you need and makes you feel like you're staying in a proper British cottage. Sarah is an amazing host: she answered any questions I had very quickly and was just in general very kind. One thing to note: the house isn't built for tall people. I'm 181 cm tall (about 5'11) and I had to bend down a bit whilst going through doorways or using the shower. It didn't really bother me, but it's just something to be aware of. Whether you want a quiet retreat or a homebase to explore the area, this is an amazing place to do so!

We really enjoyed our stay. Our host was lovely! Good clean accommodation with a homely feel. Easy to get to Bath by car from here and private place to park outside the house.

This was my third time staying at Antonia's beautiful place. Stunning surroundings, beautiful walks at your doorstep. Lots to do and visit in the local area. The Shed is super cosy and very comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

My daughter was attending an event at the nearby Polo Ground and we stayed for 2 nights at this lovely apartment. Check in was super easy and everything was explained clearly prior to arrival. The apartment is so comfortable and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Lucinda kindly recommended restaurants etc. in the local area and was quick to respond when I had a query about something. We had a lovely time in Tetbury and would definitely book Lucindas apartment again if we were coming to the area. Thank you once again.

Graham and Pip’s place is a real gem, the accommodation is gorgeous. In beautiful surroundings, with wonderful wildlife to enjoy, fabulous walks on your doorstep, a place of calm and serenity. So many places to visit are within easy driving reach, whatever your preferred activity there are mountains, canals and rivers to enjoy and there’s no shortage of options for good food. Graham is a lovely host, helpful and welcoming, he makes you feel at home right away. We would love to stay here again.

We had a lovely few days in this gorgeous, cosy lodge! It's just as pretty as it looks in the pictures, and was the perfect base to relax in after exploring the surrounding area.

Such a lovely place to stay. John and Sian were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is cosy and the location is a short drive away from the coast and lots of beautiful walks in the surroundings. Highly recommend.

I’ve never been so sad to leave an Airbnb! I have absolutely loved every minute of my stay! It has been the perfect longer term bolt hole whilst I was between houses. So cozy and comfortable with everything you need, and totally dog friendly too. The Box valley is absolutely beautiful, and there are excellent dog walks from the door. And only a short drive or bus ride into Bath. Deb is the most amazing host, the perfect balance between being on hand and very responsive and yet also respectful of privacy. I can highly recommend and would love to stay again in future!

Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The place is exactly as described, a very cosy little cottage with everything you need. Everywhere was clean and tidy apart from general dust you’d expected, with a lovely little basket of treats left for us on arrival. Check in was self done, flexible, and smooth, same with leaving. Lovely little village, a couple of local pubs within walking distance, lovely cafe just next door along with some very friendly ducks, chickens, lambs, goats and the occasional cat. Would absolutely stay here again and 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cosy and quiet get away. During our stay we explored Cheddar, Glastonbury and Frome, all within an hours drive and lots of lovely cafes and independent shops.

Great house for 3 generations for half term break. Plenty of space to spread out, more than enough beds and bathrooms for 9 of us. Child friendly and lots of suitable books and games. We had a super time and fully recommend . We all fancy a return trip👍

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.

Beautiful setting, remote and good amenities. All details are clearly listed ahead of time which helps to know what is available and what should be brought along for the stay.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Rectory Coach House. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The peaceful setting and thoughtful touches made it a truly memorable experience. The swimming pool was a lovely bonus, and the whole place is ideal for families, with a great outdoor play area for the kids. Jan is a great and friendly host who made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and the house and grounds are lovely. Fiona is a helpful and freindly host. The pool was not available when we stayed but the weather wasnt great and quite chilly at times. There is wifi available but no phone signal but that didnt bother us. Would definatly recommend.

Lovely spot in friar woods , we did a bit of touring around the sites and even managed an evening in bath with a 20min walk to the train station - Jenny and Richard were both very acclimating and made our weekend lovely with ideas and just a lovely feeling, would love to come back and see more of the local walks etc
