2 bedroom Apartment - Fossgate Bridge York
The location was perfect, easy to find and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Canal side balcony apartment.
We had a lovely stay at the Old Brewery. The place was spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet. It looked just like the pictures and perfectly matched the description. It was the perfect base to explore the Calder Valley, we walked along the canal towpath into Hebden Bridge and caught the bus back, so handy as the bus stopped right outside the property. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!

The Flat, Shepley secure parking & welcome hamper
This air bnb is a Gem. We've already booked to come back! Suzanne and Ian are such kind and thoughtful hosts. The flat is so peaceful, clean, warm and comfortable, with lovely views of the garden - it has everything you need. The welcome hamper, milk and eggs are such a lovely welcome touch. The train station, bus stops, lovely walks, pubs, a cafe, and co-op mini supermarket are just a few mins walk away. This is a special find and we can't wait to come back!

Watersedge Lodge by 5 Rise Locks
We loved our stay at Watersedge Lodge, which has superb views of the valley and the nearby canal. There is a range of seating outdoors - perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The appartment was tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. The kitchen was stocked with good utensils/pans for home cooking, and we were grateful of a fridge and a freezer. What made our visit extra special was the hosts. They were quick to respond to messages and very understanding and accommodating of our needs. They are kind, considerate and supportive. We highly recommend Watersedge Lodge. It’s a perfect bolt hole for those needing a quiet retreat, or if you want to explore walks and bike rides on the nearby canal, or farther afield in the Yorkshire Dales. There are also lots of cultural and historical adventures to be had nearby in Leeds, Bradford, Saltaire, Keighley, Haworth and Skipton. Finally, as mentioned by all the guests…. The Yorkshire Tea loaf is a winner! ❤️

Boutique York City Centre Studio-Free Parking inc
A fantastic place to stay and highly recommend. Perfect location for exploring York which we could do on foot from here. Property extremely clean, lovely and modern and we can’t wait to revisit. Carolyn was excellent at communication and very helpful. Highly recommend eating at Delrios Italian - 18 min walk. Book in advance. Thanks so much. Aeolus.

Last Min Discounts l Luxury City Centre 2BR2BA Apt
Lovely stay thank you for the help & communication and for letting us stay on short notice.

HEBDEN VIEWS. 13 NEW RD. HEBDEN BRIDGE. HX7 8AD
What a wonderful place to escape for a few days. The flat was perfect - really comfortable, clean and spacious. A good hot shower and everything we needed in the kitchen to make life easy. Hebden Bridge is a fantastic place for a mooch and the markets were lovely. Great walks in the area- we didn't need to use the car all weekend.

Modern Loft, Open Plan in Leeds City Centre
I stayed at Keith’s place for a few weeks after a nightmare Airbnb situation at a nearby flat with another host. To my luck, Keith had availability for the nights I needed accommodation, and I don’t have enough good things to say about my entire experience there. Keith was super communicative, was quick to respond to my questions, checked in to make sure I was comfortable, and was overall just a lovely person to speak to. The place looks exactly like the photos, but more spacious in person. The location was very walkable to the train station, city centre, and nearby Sainsbury’s. It was a great place to people watch during the day, but became very quiet, yet still safe, in the evening. I’m already looking into booking my next stay here, and would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Leeds!

Luxury Country Cottage (5/6p) Private Lake, HotTub
Absolutely magical stay! Sarah’s Airbnb exceeded all expectations. The private lake was serene and perfect for morning coffees and evening strolls, and the hot tub under the stars was the ultimate way to unwind. The scenery is absolutely stunning—pictures don’t do it justice. And we can’t forget Wilson the cat, who made us feel truly at home with his cheeky little visits (and his “presents”)! Every detail was thoughtful, and Sarah was a fantastic host. We’ll definitely be back!

Stone cottage overlooking River Wharfe
We’ve stayed with our two two year-old sons and couldn’t have picked a better place. The cottage is cosy and welcoming and incredibly well equipped for cooking sessions, rainy days, catching the evening sun in the garden or picking up tips for the next day out. The boys enjoyed the toys and books provided, the garden and the playground only a short walk away. The adults enjoyed that the town centre is in walking distance with a huge choice of cafes, pubs and shops and the fireplace in the evening. Henrietta and Ed have been perfect hosts, friendly and supportive. Thanks a lot.

Georgian house with hot tub right on the River!
Had a night away with my girls and we absolutely loved this place! The interior design is spectacular and we had everything we needed and more. Fabulous communication from Fiona We will definitely be looking to stay here again! Xx

East MCR House by the Canal
What a wonderful place to stay. Georgie was a super host,full of information for you from start to finish. Great and easy to communicate with. House full of extras for you to use if required. If you forget something ,don't worry Georgie will probably have it. Beds were comfy,lovely decor throughout. Exceptionally clean. Lovely spot by the canal,with lovely walks either way. parking was easy in a nice quiet street. We would highly recommend anyone to stay at Georgies house. Thank you Georgie for your hospitality. Defiantly would stay again.

Riverside Retreat at High Bridge Court
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for our needs. It was very clean and comfortable with free parking and a nice private, central position. The bathrooms were lovely and the kitchen had everything we needed to self cater. Finding the property and checking in was easy thanks to John's clear instructions. We loved being right on the river front and enjoyed lots of walks along the river. We recommend Marigold's Cafe and The Ugly Duckling cafe. We went to Mother Shiptons which was quite magical and drove out to Yolk Farm. It was easy to walk into town and up to the castle. We hope to come back one day as we loved Knaresborough and John's property!

Solid Mirror Modern Riverside Home, Doncaster
I had a fantastic stay at this new-build property. Accessing the keys was straightforward, making check-in hassle-free. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent, with a modern shower that worked perfectly. The place was spotlessly clean, and each of the three single beds was equipped with two towels, which was a thoughtful touch. The heating was great, ensuring the house stayed cosy throughout my stay. Parking right outside the property was incredibly convenient. Prince, the host, was easily contactable and very helpful. Overall, a very pleasant and seamless experience. Highly recommended!

Classic Riverside Townhouse in city centre
This house was fabulous, we loved the views onto the river and sat outside the front watching the world go by in the sunshine. It was close to the shops, pubs etc and the Minster was a 10 mins walk away. We would definitely book this house again and Maria was an excellent host, we never had to wait for a reply to a question. I would recommend this house, especially for a group. 👍🏻😊

Charming canal cottage
A beautifully appointed cottage, stylish and practical with lots of great little details that made staying away from home easy and comfortable. The kids were obsessed with the ‘secret’ living room and we enjoyed a gorgeous canal side stroll in the evening to the wharf pictured in the profile. Had a great dinner at the Copper Cow which was recommended in the hosts handbook. A lovely stay in a beautiful part of the world! Thanks!

Treetops & Viaducts; open plan two-bed apartment
Fantastic place to stay. Short walk into Todmorden. The Host was amazing, very informative, quick with response to a question. Very friendly. Would highly recommend it 👌

Luxury apartment on river Wharfe, Ilkley.
A spacious, sumptuous apartment, finished to a high standard with all mod-cons, and the added bonus of outside space. The sizeable balcony is a great place to enjoy a morning cuppa or a sun-downer whilst enjoying the peace, and listening to the river across from the apartment. An ideal base for exploring Yorkshire. One point to note, take your own shampoo. Although this is listed as an amenity there wasn’t any provided, and we had to pop to a nearby shop to buy some. During a brief chat with the owner he confirmed this is something they don’t provide. For the price point, it would have been nice to have this provided. All-in-all, a great stay and would recommend.

2 Bed Leeds Dock Apartment Balcony and River View
I can not recommend this place enough. It was spotless. It had everything you can possibly think of and need such as extra towls, cushions and iron . All three of the guest that stayed including myself did not stop talking about how we had the best night sleep. Syed was amazing! he was always there on hand happy to answer any questions and made sure we were all happy. We definitely will be booking again! The location was also amazing! plenty of parking available.

Modern Apartment, Central & Convenient
Very pleasant apartment in easy to reach location, helpful and responsive hosts.

Delph, Saddleworth Entire Waterside apartment
This was our second time staying here and once again felt straight at home as soon as we walked in. We chose this place again because we loved it and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

The Riverside Haven - Quirky Riverside Apartment
Very cozy and neat. Any notes or instructions were very clearly wrote out, very walkable location and the hosts gave nearby recommendations

The Machine Room at Castle Gate Mill
We had a fantastic weekend at the Machine Room. A huge single room on two levels housed the kitchen, dining room, lounge and bedroom. We loved this layout. Extremely comfortable with everything you might need. Nice welcome basket too. Great modern bathroom with a large walk-in monsoon shower. The place has been recently reonovated/converted and has been done to a very high standard and kept many of the property's features from its industrial past. It's location is amazing. Literally above a stream in the valley with two or three small waterfalls. Stunning.
