Apartment vacation rentals in South West England

The location is central St Ives and is perfect for a small break in the town - the view from the kitchen/lounge over looks the harbour and is perfect to watch the slow early morning wake up

Highly recommended. This is our second visit. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and set in beautiful, well kept gardens. We enjoyed being able to walk our little dog in the private field/paddock at the rear of the property with lovely views of the surrounding fields and countryside. Well worth a visit and Steve is a very welcoming host.

This was the best place we stayed all holiday. The location is incredible, just steps from Bamaluz beach, with amazing views and the sound of the waves coming right into the house. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the dogs playing on the sand, and it was only ten minutes walk to all the main beaches in St Ives. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. An absolutely perfect base for a beach holiday.

My wife and I had a marvelous one week stay in this cosy and tranquil condo with panoramic views of gorgeous Carbis Bay and easy access to public transport, including the local rail service that runs between St Ives and St Erth just five minutes walk downhill. Spotlessly clean and well provisioned, with a huge light filled kitchen featuring newer appliances, and one of the bathrooms conveniently located downstairs. It was such a pleasure staying in a place reflecting pride of ownership and professional management, creating a thoroughly enjoyable guest experience. The master bedroom mattress was a bit too soft for us, but we seem to be the outliers based on reviews. Highly recommend.

Chris & Sally are so friendly and helpful such a lovely couple and extremely welcoming …the accommodation was very luxurious and everything we needed for our stay the fridge was even stocked up with essentials so we didn’t have to go shopping when we arrived!! They went over and beyond to make us feel comfortable…absolutely amazing views…We shall have no hesitation in recommending this AirB&B to friends and family…one of the best ones we’ve stayed at!! Helen & Peter Palmer

‘Rowsley’ really is delightful accommodation - beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and tucked away in a peaceful location yet only a short distance from the iconic Lyme Regis seafront. What more could guests want?!! Many thanks Sheena, hopefully we’ll be back one day.

Rockpool is a wonderful place to stay! Kay is a friendly, helpful and generous host. We appreciated the lovely treats left in the fridge for us. The location is peaceful and quiet and the accommodation is comfortable, very clean and well equipped.

Amazing location just above the beach, with a lovely view from the window. Had everything we needed for a short stay in St Ives - well equipped kitchen for cooking our own supper and an easy stroll to the restaurants in the centre of St Ives. As the photos make clear, the bed is a loft bed which may not be suitable for those who have some mobility issues or aren’t comfortable climbing up a steep ladder.

The beach hut is a perfect retreat. It is beautifully kept and has a gorgeous private garden which goes right up to the water’s edge. It’s wonderfully located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Sandbanks beach and Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Studland chain ferry is also very close giving access to stunning Shell Bay and the wild National Trust beaches. Michele was very friendly & provided many thoughtful touches including her homemade lemon drizzle cake - sublime! I would love to return as it’s a perfect spot from which to explore this area or just to meditate on your bed with a sea view. Thanks Michele!

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Narks place. From beginning to end couldn’t find any faults whatsoever. Beautiful apartment, beautiful furnishings, spotlessly clean. Good location. Just faultless !!! Definitely recommend to anyone . Thank you Mark and team.

We absolutely loved this place and would both stay again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. While five-star reviews on Airbnb are given out perhaps too freely these days, this is genuinely a property worth going out of your way for. The location strikes the perfect balance—centrally situated in the heart of the Cotswolds with convenient parking for those driving, yet just a pleasant 10-minute walk to downtown via a lovely walking path. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the exceptional attention to detail the host has put into every aspect of the stay. From thoughtful amenities to quality furnishings, this Airbnb includes those extra touches that separate it from the others. This is what a quality short-term rental should be. Stay here.

Delightful stay. :) Hosts were helpful, friendly, and very welcoming, and the property is gorgeous! Set in beautiful surroundings, and felt right at home in the perfectly appointed accommodation - would absolutely recommend!

Our stay at Pauline’s stunning apartment in Salcombe was unforgettable. The interior design is beautiful, with top-of-the-line appliances and every comfort thoughtfully provided. We arrived to find homemade cakes, breakfast essentials, and fresh drinks in the fridge—a lovely welcome. The balcony offers incredible views, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Pauline was a fantastic host, giving us great recommendations for food and paddle boarding. We highly recommend this place and are already planning our return this summer!

Just back from a wonderful stay at Terrys beachside studios apartment we had the most amazing few days,being so close to the beach was wonderful the views were breathtaking.Thank you Terry we will definitely be back.

Our stay at Ryan’s apartment was terrific. We were delayed getting in and very happy to find a clean, comfortable and well-appointed place waiting for us. The neighborhood was charming like something out of Bridgerton or Jane Austin. The only downside is a bit of traffic noise in the bedroom…it quiets down around 11 but could be an issue for early sleepers.

homely and beautiful place to stay in Bath, close to the beautiful Royal Victoria Park and many excellent restaurants/cafes. The place was clean with one bathroom and we slept well

Our short stay at Jon & Laura's was perfect. We loved the patio with comfortable garden furniture, for tea outside on arrival and for a leisurely breakfast. The pristine bathroom was a joy to use. Jon's information on the local area was well-received... we enjoyed our evening 50 minute walk to a pub for food & drink and our morning visit to The Gloucester Quays. (We also won our Tennis match!)

Gorgeous gorgeous property in a stunning location in Dartmoor. Has everything you could want and more. Would love to come back! Ilona was a wonderful host

We had a brilliant stay and the place had everything we needed and more. Emma was really responsive and helpful.

We had the most amazing weather for our stay. Two of us shared the apartment. We discovered various steps to take us to town. The cab to the flat from the station was only £6 and well worth it on the way up! We really enjoyed The Sloop Inn and a restaurant called Silko on the quay St Ives. The best coffee by far was Mount Zion. The flat was really quiet and the beds comfortable. The Spa was really great and the views from the Spa Hotel were great. Lunch there was v tasty and the staff were sympathetic.

We had a fantastic holiday. The accommodation was superb in every way. Jemma was fantastic and really helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Honestly the photos do not do this place justice its incredible what a view and the host could not have been better extremely helpful, always there at request, respectful, polite all round wonderful person even made us scones to bake and the the towels shaped in to love hearts was a really nice touch they made us feel welcome and right at home would recommend to anyone thank you sheila for a great experience will be visiting again

What a lovely place and lovely hosts. The bed was so comfortable we slept more than usual, unless it was the lovely relaxing hot tub that tired us. The welcome food and treats and wine was very generous and very welcome. It was a very quiet and relaxing area. We stayed for 6 nights and would highly recommended

Stayed here for the weekend for my friend’s birthday. Was such a lovely chilled weekend with the hot tub. Felt very homely with the dogs and cats always around to greet us. Loved the parrots. This place is amazing as were Rosemary and Ian. Will definitely be back again. Beautiful place with lots of places near by. Thank you Rosemary and Ian, see you again soon 😀
