Idyllic converted 18th-century grape press chock-a-block with tasteful antiques hand-picked by the owners. The gardens are beautiful, as is the local aperitif 'Pineau' that used to be made there. A true oasis!
Very helpful, responsive and efficient company offering self-catering accommodation in the Lake District. We enjoyed our stay at High Spy in Keswick, a nice flat ideally located for the town and surrounding attractions.
It's hard to find high quality accommodation in a stunning location, but Spinneywood has it all. Panoramic coastal views, a beautifully furnished and well-equipped property and an acre of private garden all to ourselves. We had a lovely holiday. I only wish we'd been able to stay for longer.
Casa Tío Juan is a self-catering rental house that sleeps up to 12. It's a traditional village house in the centre of Hoyos del Espino in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos. We had a great time there and will definitely be returning! Great mountains, stunning scenery and so much to do. The village has bars and restaurants, shops, a bank - everything that you could want within a few minutes walk. By car you can vistit Ávila, Toledo, Salamanca. The Sierra de Gredos is an undiscovered gem. Go before everyone else does!
Great new website with hundreds of holiday properties and attractions in the Lake District and elsewhere in the UK.
Athanor House offers two flats for rent to visitors - a large luxury flat (though not at a luxury price) and a small studio flat. They come with a lovely garden complete with apple tree and views of the castle.
The house is central, close to the restaurants and attractions. Hannah, the owner of the house, lived for many years in London, speaks perfect English and was able to cater for our needs (including real English teabags!).

These rental apartments put you in the heart of the Albaicin district and include a traditional Casa Cueva (cave house). Lovely terraces, and you can walk to flamenco shows in Sacromonte.
The flat this small company found us matched both the photographs and the descriptions on the website. We found the place scrupulously clean, and the arrangements, both financial and logistical, were spot on. Charlotte, who runs the company, helped us settle in despite our arriving at a late hour. We recommend La Casa Roma unreservedly.
We loved this elegant period apartment. Perfectly located within 5-10 minutes easy walking distance of both the Old Town and the bars and restaurants of Kazimierz. Loads of space, good kitchen, two bathrooms, balcony, piano...

We were a bit worried by the dodgy name, but these guys were great. The one bedroom apartment we rented was clean, cheap, spacious and centrally located with a 24 hour shop just down the road. It also had a washing machine - which is good because Poland is oddly lacking in laundromats. The owner of the company is English speaking and was happy to meet us at 11.00pm on a Wednesday night when our plane arrived.
