Vacation rentals with a kayak in Darwen

Gorgeous house and lovely location. Drive is tight but we have a big car and managed it absolutely fine. We had a lovely relaxing weekend there, we did some walks directly from the house and relaxed in front of the fire, which was exactly what we went to do! House was exactly as described and felt huge! The living room was very cosy, and it was great having the two log burners, and all bedrooms were very comfortable.

Beautiful setting on the lake. Perfect place for a family group. The kayaks added to the enjoyment!

Amazing property. Beautiful views form the balcony of the lake. Everything we needed and more was in the property.

Serendipity really lives up to its name. It is a simply beautiful destination that permits both relaxation but a fun space to celebrate with family and friends. The house is beyond beautiful and the hosts so helpful and responsive. A special touch was birthday decorations with a card and cake on arrival. Such a thoughtful touch. There is so much to do here and we were able to enjoy being on the water despite it being March. We will most definitely be back to visit so will plan the next occasion. Thank you to our hosts.

We absolutely adored staying here and can't wait to return. It was a perfect stay with our toddler who loves to be outside and he had great fun at the pond, play barn and trampoline. Check in was smooth and we enjoyed a local meal at the Fox and Goose. The highlight was being in such beautiful peaceful surroundings with lots of walking paths and within 20 minutes of Alton towers and Cbeebies land. We have already recommended to friends and family.

The perfect location to enjoy some peace and tranquility in the countryside. The house also benefits from being right on the lake with a private jetty where you can use all the kayaks and paddle-boards provided. In the surrounding areas there are some beautiful walks where you can explore the nearby areas. The local village in South Cerney is within walking distance which has some convenience stores. It is also very close to drive to some bigger supermarkets for anything else needed. Inside the house, everything is pristine and decor is to a very high standard. The kitchen and dining area was a great open space with room for all of us to be in without feeling cramped. We found a lovely welcome basket included by the hosts and there are all the amenities you would need in the kitchen. The layout of the house was perfect and the ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms was great, even for a group of girls! Overall we had a fabulous trip and the hosts were always on hand to provide recommendations.

A beautiful house in stunning surroundings, the perfect place to spend our family Christmas!

We had a lovely stay at Ramblers retreat, There was an fabulous welcome pack on arrival also Beth had put a Christmas tree up which made our stay very special. Home from home we will definitely book with Beth again. Many thanks Beth.

We had a smashing stay at Angela’s. Great and swift communications. As fir the house itself, Imagine that you are house sitting a farmhouse. Everything you need is there and works. Look at the photos it perfectly captures the quirk and character of that old house. We enjoyed it and would return. Just what we wanted. Hay is ten minutes drive, the river is a small walk away and the great black mountains basically up hill from right there. The roads are so quiet, the garden beautiful and the night is properly dark. Just what we wanted.

Great cottage and location. Lots of information provided to make sure we made the most of the local area!

beautiful cottage in rural countryside with all the necessary mod cons. Laura had provided a carton of milk and biscuits as a welcome treat. the location was perfect for visiting the Cotswolds and the neighbouring towns of Malmesbury and Calne

Rachel’s barn was perfect for our break with friends and family. Amazing location, really peaceful, and only a mile and a half along the canal to The Royal Oak! The barn was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. We’ll definitely be going back next year 🍷

A truly magical, cosy, and charming cottage! It was perfect for us, our daughter and our dog - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely visit again.

Spent two nights at the cottage, the experience was surreal. It place allows you to disconnect from daily life and take a moment. There are lots of treks and walks around the cottage. Drive up to the cottage is an adventure but definitely worth the effort once you get there. Cottage doesn’t have wi fi but you get decent mobile connectivity so that wasn’t an issue at all. If you love looking out to fantastic views and enjoy exploring the hill on your feet you have got to try this one. 15 minutes drive from Bala town where you get all amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hovel. It was so peaceful with stunning views and such a relaxed feel lovely place to unwind. Toby & Stephanie were brilliant hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We felt right at home in the cottage, it was clean and tidy with a homely vibe with absolutely everything you need for the perfect stay. We loved meeting Tilly & Nugget (the dogs) who came to the lake with us which was fab we took the rowing boat out on the lake and I had a very cold water swim with Tilly all in all PERFECT and cannot wait to return

Brilliant location. Stunning countryside views. A great base to explore the local area. Great usual amenities on site, the children loved the pipe slide and trampoline, ability to try and play tennis on the site. The swing in the garden and fire pit was a nice touch, to allow the kids to enjoy the evening the garden. The triple bed in the attic room was great for the kids to share. Lovely power showers and bath options.

A girls night away in the cabins and we wanted to stay forever longer! When we arrived we were so shocked by how stunning it was, so quiet with only the sound of the river and the most stylish cabins and good sized hot tub. It had everything we could've needed and a very high tech air fryer. Anthony was very responsive and friendly and came out in the evening to fix a lightbulb for us. The hot tub was beautifully clean and a lovely temperature. I have sent links to all my friends and family because you must see this place! Thank you so much, and we will be back! Xx

I loved my stay at Riverside Cabins it was beautiful and peaceful and everything we needed! We are going to make this our annual anniversary because it’s just everything you need for a romantic stay! It was so clean there was absolutely no faults what so ever!

We stayed at Riverside Cabins as a surprise for my husband's birthday. From the time of booking, with help to have balloons in the cabin prior to our arrival, to organising the hot tub to warm up quicker as we were only staying for 1 night, everyone was so friendly, accommodating & extremely helpful! I couldn't recommend this place enough! The location is no more than perfect! It was a freezing cold night (-2 i think) which gave us the beautifully clear skies on which to view the stars from the hot tub. I couldn't think of a better place to have been on such a perfect night! Luckily we live local so will definitely be staying again and I have already recommended Riverside Cabins to my family and friends. The cabin was clean, warm and cosy, well equiped & beautifully decorated with a very comfy bed. Loved it! I would say more but I'm running out of the allocated number of characters! Quick you need to book before you miss out on experiencing such a perfect location! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Will definitely be back as we loved it so much. The lodge was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was absolutely amazing! Stunning lodge, big private garden and beautiful, quiet surroundings. Easy check in and check out too. Host is helpful and responsive. 10/10 stay!

This is an excellent place. Anthony has gone to exceptional lengths to make this the kind of place that he himself would have wanted to holiday in. The grounds are vast, the chalets are well spaced out, there is a sense of real peace and tranquility - the sound of running water from the nearby river, birds chirping, nearby woodland, stand up paddle boards and sit on canoes available to borrow free of charge to meander down the river with. The accommodation itself is very well thought out and very good quality. Even in the compact chalet which we were in there was a large walk in shower and plenty of covered space outside in which we could have our meals and relax. Hot tub is well maintained and was already warmed for our arrival. We came here to have a base from which to take part in the Ultimate Triathlon at Ellesmere. We'll certainly come back and stay here again next time.

Really lovely place, with the most welcoming hosts and in a great location!! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!!

Williams place is great! Perfect setting for a relaxed evening, comfortable & would 100% look to stay again in the future

Highly recommend Sian and her place! We booked last minute and she was so responsive and helpful. Place was ready by 12pm and was spotless. Great quiet spot and great place to get away from everywhere. Was lovely to be surrounded by the animals and Sian left lovely helpful notes. worth every penny :)
