Rental unit in Cardiff
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsBay View Apartment, by Solace Stays
Luxury place to spend time. Photos correspond completely to reality, which is always nice. With Chris you can easily communicate and he always responds and he responds quickly. This is a place to be in Cardiff. The center is easily accessible by train or bus. Highly recommend.

Rental unit in Harbourside
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviewsLuxe Apt with River View - Next to Harbour & Cafes
The location of this apartment was amazing, right on the waterfront yet it was still quiet at night. The apartment itself was spacious and homely with a few bonus extras including a coffee and washing machine. Very clear instructions of how to access the property and a very handy & comprehensive guidebook for restaurants and local attractions was also provided. I would highly recommend staying at this property when exploring Bristol!

Rental unit in Cardiff
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 356 reviewsBeautiful flat w/ balcony, pool table & 55" TV
The apartment was exactly as described and shown, I'd say its probably more spacious than I'd realised from photos, so that's a plus! The area is safe, quiet and peaceful. Allocated parking and felt safe leaving the car in the car park. Ideal location for being close enough to everything without the noise of a busy street. Beds are lovely and comfortable and it was nice and warm even without us using the heating. Rhys was an excellent host, anything I messaged about was responded to really quickly and he was so approachable. Thank you!

Rental unit in Cardiff
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 151 reviewsComfy Cardiff Bay Flat With Water Views & WiFi
Had a great stay in this flat, with everything we needed for the weekend. The instructions and comms from Steven and Seki were really clear and helpful. The location is lovely by the river with the Bay trail on the doorstep. Will definitely look to book again if we are in the area, thank you 😊
Rental unit in Gloucestershire
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsLuxurious 2 Bedroom Apartment in The Docks
Overall a great stay in a nice apartment. The pub next door is noisy, and windows need to be open to stop the apartment overheating in summer - but it wasn't too bothersome. Great location with easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops in the quays, as well as to the town center. Apartment was clean and comfortable and as described.

Home in Bradford-on-Avon
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 548 reviewsLarge Country Cottage + Log Fire, Fire Pit Nr Bath
A lovely brief stay at Granby Cottage. Perfect for humans and dogs alike - especially if you book the adjoining dog exercise fields which Amanda also has (highly recommended!). The cottage is great and very well presented, with lots of lovely touches, and a great base for the surrounding area.
Home in Pontypool
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 181 reviewsCaithness Holiday Home
What a WONDERFUL house! Warm, cosy and spotlessly clean, just perfect for a group of friends needing a relaxing break. Everything we could need was thought of and the number of personal touches was really touching. The kitchen was very well supplied and we cooked two big meals with ease. The shower in the main bathroom was AMAZING! Alex was responsive to messages and queries before we arrived and was super helpful and thoughtful. She left a lovely surprise for our friends birthday - thanks Alex! The patio and garden were great to soak up some early autumn sunshine and we used one of the boats for a little paddle down the canal. We had a lovely walk to the shell grotto in Pontypool park. We can’t wait to come back x
Home in Wylye
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 173 reviewsMill House Snug, Wylye, Warminster, Wiltshire
The place was lovely as described and some milk in the fridge to get us started. Very comfortable and the fire was lovely. We had Sunday lunch at he Bell Inn Wylye which was lovely and good value for money. Only thing was we thought we would be able to walk from the Snug but this isn't really possible safely.

We had a wonderful time as a group of friends with young children - the house is brilliant, with lots of room and a great deck area. Loved being able to access the swimming pool, playground and soft play, and having a good restaurant on site too. Great host who was responsive and helped with some local recommendations. Will definitely stay again!

Condo in Cardiff
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 51 reviewsBeautiful 2 Bed Apartment with Parking in the Bay!
We truly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and extremely spacious apartment. The beds were huge and very comfy. The interior design of the apartment is beautiful and looks exactly as on the pictures. The location is superb, only a few steps from the Mermaid Quay surrounded by a huge selection of restaurants close by. Communication was very friendly and proactive. We had some difficulties in finding the apartment as we were not sure on which floor it is located, but Vicky answered immediately and was very helpful. I can definitely recommend this apartment to everyone visiting Cardiff!

I really recommend this apartment. It’s new, very well furnished. You have everything you need and more. Shone took care of little details which it’s very appreciated. The location is really good: 5’ from restaurants and shops and 10’ from train station to Cardiff. We can tell that we’ll repeat.

Condo in Clifton
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsHarbour side central location
My husband and I love staying here as it feels like a home from home. It has lovely views over Harbourside and is a very short walk to the centre of Bristol. We also appreciated the little extras left out for us - nice bread, cookies, milk, butter, jam etc. - which saved us a dash to the shops!
