Peak District self catering cottages, England
The farm is organic and is very beautifully situated. It seemed idyllic. (more)
From £270 - £740 per cottage per week (sleeps 2-6)
Peak District bed and breakfast, England
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 £43 per person per night
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)
From €29 - €50 per person per night
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 €625 - €650 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
Mercantour self catering gite, France
Amazing 360 degree views on the walks in the Maritime Alps and the relaxed but informative approach of our guide Mel. The gite is very comfortable and well equipped and the food which was prepared by Liz was delicious and varied.  (more)
From £375 per week (sleeps 2)
Northumberland farmstay holiday, England
Our stay was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, David and Jackie. From the welcoming tea and biscuits on arrival, to our departure, all was everything you could possibly wish for. (more)
From £35 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 - €850 per cottage per week
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
Dyfi Forest tipi & yurt accommodation, Wales
The setting of the tipis and surrounding area was absolutely beautiful and we had so much space all around. (more)
From £195 - £369 per tipi for 2 nights (sleeps 2)

The accommodation was superb with great views and lovely countryside right on your doorstep to explore. (more)
From £295 - £645 per cottage per week (sleeps 2-6)

Looking round the forge in the B&B was fascinating and discussing how it operated. Also the meal at the lovely nearby pub and trying to do their pub quiz. (more)
From £75 per room per night
Isle of Wight luxury bed and breakfast
Look out for the red squirrel in the tree outside your bedroom. (more)
From £70 - £110 per double room per night
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)
From £60 - £90 per room per night
Malvern Hills self catering accommodation, 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)
From £80 per house per night (sleeps 2)
Kenmare B&B accommodation, Ireland
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)
From €40 - €60 per room per night (sleeps 2)
