Sardinia farmhouse accommodation
We could not have hoped for a better holiday. This was our first time in Sardinia, our first farm holiday, away from the beaten tracks. We spent a week and rested so much that we feel as if we've been away for months.  (more)

Ireland holiday cottages, Tipperary
It was an excellent retreat, and exactly what I was looking for: a small, warm, friendly place, far from the big city life. (more)
From €180 - €350 per cottage per week
Loire Valley self catering farm cottage, France
The peace and tranquillity were sublime. A lovely property with all the mod cons (even a coffee machine) however in wonderful rural surrounds. The garden of the property was a delight. The countryside of the Loire was beautiful, the village a short bike ride away. (more)
From €595 - €625 per cottage per week (sleeps 2-4)
Portugal Yurt holidays
We had a great couple of days. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The yurt and it's garden area are completely private and self contained but near the owners home if you need anything. (more)
From £65 - £120 per couple per night

The setting of the tipis and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful and we had so much space all around. (more)

Seeing the farm and the animals and finding out about how they have converted to an organic farm was the most memorable part. (more)
From £42 per person per night
Umbria B&B farmstay accommodation
Our holiday in Umbria was absolutely fantastic! The accommodation was beautiful and Francesco and Monia (the owners) took great care refurbishing the old farm house, being sensitive to the architecture, nature and the Umbrian tradition. (more)
From €110 per person per night
Loire Valley self catering accommodation
We loved being surrounded by historic French villages; staying in a beautiful rustic (but VERY comfortable) 19th century stone cottage; the warmth and approachability of our hosts Nicole and Alex Crawford; and being spoilt for choice when arranging our daily activities. (more)
From €795 per cottage per week
Isle of Wight luxury bed and breakfast
Look out for the red squirrel in the tree outside your bedroom. (more)
From £80 - £120 per double room per night

The location was beautiful, the house stunning, the town of Kenmare a real treat, the breakfast a whole food feast and Anne's manner is a perfect balance of trust and hospitality. (more)

Malvern bed and breakfast accommodation
We were only on holiday for four days so it would be an exaggeration to rate this as a holiday of a life-time however the accommodation is definitely **** and I have already recommended it to family and friends.  (more)

Self catering accommodation nr Malvern, England
The whole ethos of the house and it's setting made this into an unforgettable weekend. Sitting by the enormous window/doors in the early morning watching the sunrise over the Malverns was remarkable. (more)
