Vacation rentals with a kayak in Darwen

We absolutely loved our stay! Not only is the cottage in a stunning location with wonderful views it’s also beautiful inside with comfortable beds, cosy lounge and fire with a great kitchen with everything you need. We will definitely return

Lovely place, clean and decorated very nicely. Lots of games etc which was a bonus for the children!

A really beautiful stay, everything was perfect. It was super clean, well equipped, spacious and had stunning views. We celebrated our dads 70th Birthday and they had left us cake, card and drink which was a very thoughtful and kind touch. Really fantastic place and we hope to stay again in the summer! Would 100% recommend.

Lovely location, great views from every window. The place was spacious yet cozy. Would've stayed longer if we could

Our group really enjoyed our stay at Darrell's! The home was modern and comfortable and allowed for enjoyment of the outdoors even from within the house - really can't beat the views! The space was just as described and group was very comfortable. Darrell provided a very thorough guide for our stay which included check-in instructions, how to use all appliances, recommendations for local walks and restaurants, numbers for taxi companies, and more - super helpful! The only issue any of us had was that the mattresses were a bit dated, something to note for anyone with back issues. Overall we would highly recommend staying at Darrell's when in the Cotswolds! We will definitely be making our way back in the summer months.

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

Great place, plenty of parking and location

Wonderful stay in a beautiful place with super friendly and helpful hosts - we loved it! And plan to come back for a little family holiday too. Lots to do in the surrounding areas and beautiful restaurants nearby in Cirencester. Thank you Alison and Jon for a lovely stay!

We had a lovely half-term mini break at Top Locks and would definitely recommend. There was a cute welcome hamper that we thoroughly enjoyed, with nice touches for the kids. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable with everything we needed in the cottage for our stay. The location is stunning, just wish we had a bit longer there to explore. Amy was very responsive and super helpful when we needed some guidance. Thanks again :)

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.

We had a great stay here. Laura prepared a cot and a high chair for our baby and there was a basket with some toys and some baby cutlery and plates. The cottage is gorgeous and the beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend staying here it really felt like a home away from home.

We spent a lovely long weekend here. The space is a great, comfortable size for 4 adults and a baby and would have comfortably fit another 2 children or an adult. The property was lovely and clean. Parking was convenient and there was also the option for electric charging, although we didn't use this. My only negative comment is the double mattresses are quite squeaky, although I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't getting up in the night with the baby. Despite this they are comfortably firm. The location is peaceful and quiet, in beautiful surroundings, and right next to the canal for a lovely flat walk (suitable for a pram). We were attending a wedding at Peterstone Court and it was a very convenient 5/10 minite drive or 50 minute walk. Rachel was very quick at responding to queries. I would highly recommend a stay here.

The property was beautiful and set in some amazing countryside. Colin was always friendly and responsive, we had a lovely couple of nights here. If you stay make sure you take a walk down to the local Moon Inn which does wonderful food.

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.

Toby and Stephanie were both lovely and extremely helpful. The hovel was comfortable and cosy, and thanks to Stephanie’s help with the fire we had a couple of relaxing evenings in the living room watching films on the home cinema. The gardens and the fort were great for us to walk around and explore before we went to Barmouth for the afternoon. The hovel is located really well, allowing access to a large selection of places within an hours drive. Tilly and nugget were very gentle and affectionate. Lovely dogs. We hope that we can visit again.

Charlie and Emma were excellent hosts. We had a stressful drive up and ended up arriving half an hour late and Emma had very kindly put our shopping away for us. The house is in a lovely location with lots to do for the kids. We had a great time. Thanks for having us!

Really lovely place, cabin was beautiful and really clean. So peaceful, and in a beautiful area. The trees and river were a lovely touch. Great place to get away for peace and quiet. Can’t wait to come back! 5 star all around

myself and my partner had a wonderful two night stay! the location was incredible, so peaceful and quiet - just what we needed for a few days of relaxation! overall 10/10 stay, the only thing that we might have suggested is some simple body wash/shower necessities. would 100% come back and will refer to friends!

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Had an amazing stay with my mates, couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and the communication with the host was brilliant we're really appreciative of the host for such a wonderful stay

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 :)

This was the nicest caravan by far that we have stayed in at 7 Lakes. It was beautifully decorated for the festive season and Kate had gone to a lot of trouble to make it super cosy and welcoming for us. My husband and I would love to come back again anytime. Just want to say a huge 'THANKYOU' to Kate for her efforts and for being such a super host.

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful and peaceful location, with not great access to public transport, however, an uber for around £8 which takes you right into the city centre. Great access to the facilities, which were also very clean! Very cosy cabin, great for a weekend stay! WiFi and TV were great too.
