Waterfront apartment rentals

STUNNING city-centre 3 bed. River views + Parking
Great apartment! Very easy to find and clear check in and check out details. It is a huge apartment so as a group you have loads of space. Our stay was great thanks to Charlotte! It was slightly noisy at some points in the night but it may have been because it was a bank holiday weekend. Didn’t bother us and was expected due to such a central location.

Beautiful waterfront penthouse
A beautiful place, easy to find and felt at home immediately. Very well appointed, bathrooms and kitchen spotless and very straightforward to use. Stunning views and peaceful surroundings, all made for a very pleasant stay.

Spacious 3 Bedroom Queen Square Apartment
We had an amazing weekend at Dave’s place, met with two friends to explore Bristol and the location couldn’t have been more perfect for that, so central and everywhere was walkable, so much to do! The space was huge, felt very luxurious and full of thoughtful touches, would recommend!

Stylish apartment with bay views.
I spent a weekend at Awel's place on a writing retreat. I was looking for somewhere quiet and cosy with a nice view, and Awel's place perfectly fit the bill! The view is gorgeous, and Penarth is a lovely place all round. The flat is clean, quiet and warm (the electric heaters are excellent), the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. I would happily stay here again.

Beautiful flat w/ balcony, pool table & 55" TV
Lovely apartment with comfortable beds, good location and very easy to find and access. Great host very responsive

Stylish city stay in the heart of the Harbourside
Very nice place. Location is good near the harbour, nice for a walk in the evening. Apartment was clean and the bed was really comfortable!

Broadway, 40 Windrush Lake, dog friendly 3 bedroom
Truly wonderful stay - my parents and daughter travelled from Australia to spend Christmas with me and we decided to go to the Cotswolds (along with my dog). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Tracey’s home had everything we needed, set amongst a beautiful, tranquil surrounding nestled on the lake. Picturesque views and relaxing surroundings. The house itself is beautifully presented - lots of lovely little touches and thoughtful additions. It was so easy to get around from the house to all different parts of the Cotswolds - perfect place to come back to after a days worth of outings. Nice hot shower and comfy couch and amenities. Restaurants and pubs close by within an easy four to six minute drive - dogs welcome! Thank you for a wonderful stay. It truly made our Christmas.

Modern contemporary home in beautiful setting
Stunning property. Stayed as a family aging from two to eighty three and Sunset lodge had everything you could need for a comfortable stay away. Kitchen has everything needed and more to dine in. Modern, comfortable furnishings in spacious rooms all with lovely views of the water. Safe for children and easy to move around with a partially sighted guest with limited mobility. Michelle was a fantastic host, always responsive and provided lots of information regarding the property and site. Lovely indoor and outdoor swimming pool on site in the spa with booked slots so didn’t get too busy. Site was beautiful, quiet and calm for a relaxing short break with family.

Amazing Victorian House overlooking the docks
Jerry and Jacqui couldn’t have been more welcoming and we had a wonderful stay in their exceptional home. It is full of fascinating artifacts, brilliantly located and very comfortable. Many thanks indeed.

Welcome to Solius, our Castle by the lake
Beautiful surroundings, lovely views to wake up to. Extremely comfy bed. Loved the big tv's. Really nice ammenities, and easily walkable to some of the other lakes,nice woodland walks and a great base for travelling around the cotswolds.plenty of local info in the basket on the table on arrival

Beautiful Cotswold Lakefront Home with Hot Tub
Couldn’t recommend this property more - absolutely gorgeous! We went as a group of girls and will definitely be returning but also would be perfect for those with families and will be looking to book to bring my little one. The property went above and beyond and had lots of extra details which made you feel immediately at home. Property even more beautiful in person, absolutely spotless and incredibly comfortable. Fantastic communication from Neil - friendly, proactive and informative. The location is absolutely stunning and plenty of parking. Look forward to returning, thank you for a fabulous stay.

Beautiful lakeside retreat in Cotswold Water Park
We had a lovely Easter break in this house with our family (8 adults). The weather was perfect so we enjoyed playing tennis and paddle boarding on site and walked to the pub in the village.

Stunning Cotswolds Lake House with Spa Heat Pool
Lovely place right on the water. Looks better than the photos. Had everything we needed in a great location with access to pool and with onsite restaurant and little shop. Perfect for a get away would come again

Beautiful 4 bedroom lake view home, sleeps 8-10
Great location. Beautiful house equipped with everything you could need to make for a comfortable relaxing stay. Very quiet and peaceful and a very well maintained site. Lots of things to do for all ages and it’s a huge bonus having kayaks etc available for use on the lake - the whole family had so much fun. We would have loved to have stayed longer - so may be back! Thank you

Hansen House 2 Cardiff Apartment /Free Parking
A fantastic place to stay with a private parking space which is a bonus! A central location to walk to Cardiff Bay and into the City Centre. The accommodation itself was absolutely spotless, had lovely added extras and was extremely quiet. Tony was a fab host with excellent communication throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend! Thank you!

Luxury City Centre Free Parking King Bed Fast Wifi
Very comfortable and clean with convenient parking close by. We took advantage of the close proximity to the downtown area to walk to shopping, pubs, and a huge selection of restaurants.

Holiday Apartment at Sand Bay
Our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) were very comfortable staying here. The decor was modern and lovely. The beachside views were incredible, and the sunsets! We wanted a peaceful weekend away from the noise and this home provided just that. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook a few meals, and we drove less than 10 minutes to local restaurants. Being able to walk outside and be on a sandy beach in less than a minute was more than ideal.

Luxury 2 Bedroom waterfront apartment with balcony
Second time we have stayed. Beautiful apartment with a lovley view. Great communication. Spotlessly clean. 5/10 min walk to the center. Secure parking. Will be returning next year. Happy customer x

The Cosy Cwtch
Amazing place to stay. Nice view and easy to find. Well located place with easy access to surrounding activities.

Riverfront apartment Newport
The photos didn't do it justice - the apartment was immaculately clean and exactly as described. Usually there are some items missing but this place had absolutely everything, even down to a hoover and a mop. There were ample facilities in the kitchen to cook a full blown meal and everything worked as expected. We couldn't have wanted for anything else, it truly felt like a home away from home. Shone was lovely and her communication was second to none. When we ran into a complication with our booking, she was friendly and incredibly helpful with a quick response time. I can't wait to stay here again!

Harbour side central location
Stuart's place was super convenient, very responsive host. The location is right on the harbourside which I think is the best part of Bristol. Really thoughtful to leave a couple of treats in the kitchen for us. It definitely felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended! Thanks again!

The-apartment-near-the-beach
What a great find! Easy short walking distance to all the local amenities and close to the beach, even better that we had a dedicated parking space right outside the apartment. The apartment was fresh and clean, beds where very comfortable, kitchen was fully equipped, bathroom was modern and clean with a nice shower. The whole apartment had everything we needed to make it a comfortable home from home stay. Ruth and Byran where very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had, which made the whole experience so easy. We would highly recommend the apartment to anyone 😊
