Vacation rentals with a balcony in British Isles

I had a great stay here - well equipped and comfortable, a very centrally located place with the city centre and canal just there.

Jenny & Tim are wonderful folks with knowledge of the community & its history & good stories to tell and suggestions about what to do with your time in St. Margaret's. They were both so willing to give their time & knowledge to us, easy to contact, & surprised us with special gifts & tips. Jenny was our main contact but we also ran into Tim outside one day & had a great chat with him about the house being featured on the BBC & history of the area. The house is wonderful, with calming coastal decor & gorgeous views from the bedroom, living room, & patio, which all look out across the channel to Calais (on a clear day). We got to watch a couple of great sunrises over the channel right from the bed. The bed was unfortunately too short for a 6'4" person & not as wide as we’d like, but they have limited space to work with in a historic home. The village has a great pub & church & it’s also a great home base to walk along the white cliffs to Dover or Deal. We were sad to leave! Book it!

There is a sports pub on the ground floor, so it is noisy until the early hours of the weekend, but it is generally quiet. The accommodation is fully equipped with everything. The host provides clear instructions.

Stunning apartment overlooking the glorious Fistral Beach, the views are spectacular! Our morning coffees on the balcony were a fab start to the day, even when it was a bit grey! Location is perfect, situated at the peaceful end of Fistral Beach...it's about a 100 yard walk to the beach itself and there are some steps down...but so easy for walking back with boards and quickly jumping in the outside shower! It is also within a 10/15 minute walk of the busier end of the beach, Newquay town is not too far to walk to either. Please also try Seaspray Cafe & Bar! We went there 3 times during our 5 night stay, the staff were so lovely and the food is excellent! Stacey was the perfect host communicating regularly and offering lots of local advice. It really felt like a home away from home, we absolutely loved every minute there! Thank you!

Beatrice’s apartment provided a truly unparalleled experience — throughout all my travels, this was by far the most beautiful accommodation I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The flat has been renovated with impeccable taste and meticulous attention to detail, with every element reflecting a commitment to quality and care. The harmonious design and refined style created an atmosphere that was both wonderfully homely and distinctly special. Beatrice herself was exceptionally attentive and professional; she responded to every enquiry promptly and helpfully, and our comfort was clearly her highest priority throughout our stay. The location of the apartment is equally outstanding: central, yet surprisingly peaceful — a true rarity in London. In every respect, this was a perfect choice, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional and memorable stay.

Modern apartment and super close to the train station, highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The apartment is really nice and tastefully decorated, and the kitchen is superbly equipped – there was nothing missing! Using the sofa as an extra sleeping option was fine, even if it wasn't quite as comfortable as a real bed. But it was no problem for a few nights. A small negative point is the noise, but overall it was a very pleasant stay. We would definitely recommend the apartment

Jacqueline was the perfect host responding to questions promptly. She accommodated a relatively late request to move our dates by one day which was much appreciated. The apartment was exactly as described and the photos are a true representation. The apartment is tastefully decorated, clutter free and spotlessly clean. The bed is very comfortable making for a good night’s sleep. The apartment is perfectly located for exploring London with London Bridge being very well connected. An added bonus - a magnificent view of the Shard from the bedroom and lounge. We had a fantastic stay and hope to come back again as our trip was too short and sweet. Thank you Jacqueline for sharing your place with us.

Great place to stay. Descriptions are accurate and Titti and Orla were excellent hosts.

Joseph is an amazingly responsive and gracious host—he permitted early check in, provided excellent local suggestions and always answered questions quickly and thoroughly. His place is incredible. The location is in a quiet area near the park and a school but only blocks from the buzz of Upper Street with its cafes, shops and restaurants. It is beautifully decorated in a chic but still comfy way—Wood flooring, warm colors, plants, books. It has elegant styling and very cool automated features with automated lights and blinds, etc. that are quite easy to use. Additional shades and shutters allowed us to darken sleeping areas reasonably well. The kitchen appliances are very modern and easy to use. Joseph is quite thoughtful and even left some nespresso pods (yay), dishwasher pods, laundry pods—thank you! The sofa bed was reasonably comfortable and the regular bed and pillows were excellent. Access to the garden is a wonderful perk. Excellent Airbnb—do not hesitate to book!

We couldn’t ask for anything else for the short period we stayed! Thank you 🙂

Great place! A very nicely decorated house with all the features that you need. Metro station with access to multiple lines is around the corner for easy access to all the sights. Park at the back, quiet by London standards. Very welcoming back yard with doors that open wide. Absolutely lovely.

Clean space and matches photos. We had some difficulty turning on the heaters when we arrived but the concierge guided us easily by phone. The place was very cold initially, it took a few hours to reach a pleasant temperature. Aside from that, nothing to report :).

Fantastic !!! Booked this home as part of my wifes 70th birthday celebrations for 6 adults and 3 grandchildren aged 3,6 & 9. Tracy met us on arrival to show us around this wonderful house and pass on everything we needed to know. The house in real life is better than the photos. It is so spacious and as my granddaughter said Tracy has thought of everything there is so much for us to do. Tracy also left us a lovely home made cake. The kitchen was a great communal place with a 10 seater table overlooking the amazing outdoor space via two sets of patio doors. A great way to start the day. All rooms were a good size. Outdoors there is a beautiful large garden with a trampoline for the kids, a gas bbq for the adults a barn with a table tennis table and a host of toys and ride on vehicles for the little ones. Go through the gap at the end of the garden to the very popular tree house Nobody wanted to leave after a fantastic couple of days. This is a great house.

Fabulous cottage. well appointed with high end fixtures and fittings. loved staying there.

We really loved Bridge Lock Mews. We stayed with our dogs and found the location to be perfect - a stroll down the canal to Bathwick Meadows every day with easy access to the Bath Skyline walk. Come back via Dexters coffee shop on Bathwick Hill - perfect Also super easy to get into the city centre along the canal and the river - just 10 mins walk and you are bang in the middle of it all. Parking was good too (parking is at a premium in Bath). The place is brilliant - modern, great interior design, clean, comfortable and right on the canal so you can watch the world go by and watch canal boats going through the lock if you are lucky. Beds comfy, kitchen well equipped, smart TV excellent, good Wifi. The only thing I would recommend with dogs ( if it is wet) is take plenty of towels to put down in the small hallway area as it is carpeted. We spent a lot of time trying to save the caroet from our dogs' wet paws!

We had a great break in a lovely neighbourhood and enjoyed the amazing sea view

An amazing Easter weekend break in Topsham Exeter. A lovely apartment in a fantastic location, and even the mix of weathers did not cause a problem, we watched the rain in a warm comfortable apartment, and had the balcony doors open when it was sunny. The views are beautiful, and waking up to the boats and estuary is so refreshing. Lovely place to walk around and some fabulous places to eat and drink. Thank you, we really did not want to leave.

Amazing view over Woolacombe beach - what can be better than watching sunset with a glass of bubbles in a hot tub! The apartment is exactly as advertised, all in perfect order and spotlessly clean. We will definitely return.

Pam was a pleasure to communicate with. Check-in and check-out were easy and effortless. The apartment is wonderfully situated close to Hyde Park and a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is very cost and welcoming, with an incredibly well equipped kitchen. I couldn’t recommend the location, apartment and Pam more. Ps: it’s a 4 story walk up. We knew this when taking the apartment and we’re happy for the exercise ;)

Very nice flat with balcony and view overlooking water of Leith. Great location, peaceful surroundings. Included parking was great for day road trips to places around Edinburgh.

We had a great stay. Comfortable beds, good shower and the location was quiet, but also right at the prom. We could see the sea and all the way up to Arthur’s seat and the sun came streaming into the living room all evening. Parking was easy and getting in and checking out was no bother. Bus stops to town are only 2mins walk up the street and it’s only a short walk to beach and the local high street cafes shops etc. Location is amazing. Jeremy got in touch with instructions before check in and replied quickly to questions.

I’m a local in Birmingham and booked this house to host my guests —and I have to say, it was a good choice. The location is absolutely unbeatable, truly one of the best you could ask for in the city. The house itself was clean, well-kept, and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily book again. Highly recommend!

I had a great stay here. Lovely flat right next to a great high street for cafes, restaurants, and Clissold Park. The flat feels light and spacious but was nice and warm during some cold winter days. Comfy bed, great TV, and lots of kitchen equipment. And Jayme was really responsive for any questions. Highly recommend.
