Unique Homestays Reviews 

The company were efficient and knowledgeable. Were helpful about payment dates and have an extensive collection of properties.

We spent a wonderful week at The Hatch in Crantock. The house was beautiful and the place was spotless. The service from the Unique Homestays team was outstanding - from the booking procedure to the follow ups during and after our stay. Definitely a destination to include in one's future holiday plans.

Unique Homestays is always my go-to company because I know I can count on finding exceptional properties, and this beautiful Cotswold cottage certainly lived up to those expectations. It was full of charm, beautifully maintained, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm welcome and felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit. The attention to detail and outstanding hospitality made our stay truly special.

Once again, Unique Homestays delivered an unforgettable experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality, memorable place to stay.

Wonderful architect designed house in Cornish countryside with wonderful views.
It’s well positioned to get beaches and places of interest.

Elemental - Loch Rannoch
This is a lovely property in a lovely location. It is stylish, comfortable, well equipped and well maintained. It will accommodate four people comfortably. It also has a reduced-cost, two-person option at certain times of the year and this is something my wife and I were able to take advantage of when we stayed there in June 2026. We had a really lovely week at the property and in the surrounding area and we didn’t want for anything. Elemental is not exactly isolated but it is quite remote and although this is definitely part of its attraction and charm I think anyone staying there would be well advised to stock up on provisions beforehand. However, Asda will deliver to Elemental for quite a small cost (when we stayed there it was between £2 and £4 depending on the time of day). Overall, this was a great holiday in a lovely property. Booking with Unique Homestays was straightforward, everything was super organised and we felt well supported.

Another wonderful stay with Unique Homestays, this time at Amaia in south Cornwall. A marvellous beachfront property with breathtaking views. It was perfect for our multi-generational group of 9, with superbly spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Everything was meticulously prepared for us, and we would have no doubts about returning ourselves or recommending to friends and family. Thank you to the teams at Unique Homestays and Amaia!

We stayed at a place called Aphrodite. Being the goddess of love, she certainly cast her spell over us. We cannot think of a single bad thing. The location is wondrous, 20 minutes south of Bude and 35 minutes north of Padstow - excellent for surfing, walking or any other adventure that tickled our fancy. Nestled between grazing cows and sheep, there is an enchanting sea view. The house was quirky is designed in a relaxing and lovely way, with top notch amenities to make you feel like you’re staying in luxury.

The booking process was excellent and it was refreshing to have lovely customer service throughout from Unique Homestays. We’ll definitely be using them again.

Properties are as beautiful as they look in the pictures, well taken-care of, and the customer service is outstanding!

We had a lovely week staying in Hansa. The place is unique in lots of ways. It is surrounded by woods and is overlooking a lake. We were extremely lucky with the weather, in fact it was too hot at times with +30 degree temperatures some days but we used the wood burning hot tub as a cold plunge to cool ourselves down.
If you want a holiday with near total seclusion with just a few fishermen dotted around the lake then this is the place for you.

A superb stay at Watermark in Stoke Gabriel, what a gem of a property located right on the water, and huddled into the hillside. The house is superb, great attention to detail a great effort is made to make your stay the best it can be. We just love this place and have just completed our second visit. We just love watching the world and boats go by from the deck & the hot tub. One fabulous vacation from start to finish.

Hannah was wonderful from start to finish — patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in finding the right property for our family's needs. Her recommendation of Holanen turned out to be exactly right.

The house itself is superb: modern, beautifully designed, and perfectly thought through. Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane yet within easy walking distance of the whole village, it offers the best of both worlds — total peace and quiet, with Mousehole's harbour and restaurants just steps away. The view alone is worth the trip — breathtaking, and one we never tired of.

Quiet, beautiful, and full of character. Simply perfect.

Incredible experience from time of booking to check out. Incredible location and unique stay. This is the company we will always use for further trips to the UK

Super stay at a beautiful property. The whole UH team were great with excellent communication throughout. Thanks, Simone!

We just returned from an excellent stay at The Studio in The Cotswolds. We wanted a private, quiet, stay with a place to cook and unwind....and The Studio did not disappoint. We had a huge outdoor private garden area with a grill, pizza oven, and fire pit. The upstairs kitchen dining area walks right out into the patio and garden. There are no views, but it is in the perfect location near all of the wonderful towns, farms, lavender farms, co-op grocers....just a perfect private location. The owner's Lee & James were excellent in answering our questions, suggesting ideas, and assuring our stay was optimal in every way. Thank you Simone for the booking and Lee & James for making our first visit to The Cotswold pure magic. We will be back.

This is the first time I have dealt with Unique Homestays and it certainly won’t be the last . The communication with Simone was friendly, helpful and professional. The property was just as described on there website and the views were to die for! The facilities provided was everything you could wish for , with some nice added touches. Would highly recommend.

Had the most wonderful stay at The Shearling, a truly wow property, perfect for peace and quiet. Beautifully furnished with every comfort you could need. The icing on the cake for us was the outdoor pool and the wildlife around the property a truly unique stay and one we highly recommend. The booking process was so easy and full instructions given clearly to help withour visit, we loved it!!

I book a lot of cottages in the UK and unique homestays were excellent, and provided a very professional personal service. The property we stayed in, Saffron Tower, was atunning. Everything about the property was top tier, and it was a truly unique and special experience. Well worth every penny

Great company with truly unique home stays in stunning locations. Smooth booking process throughout & we have booked a number of properties & none of them have disappointed.

We recently enjoyed a fabulous 3 generational Cotswolds based family holiday utilising a Unique Homestays property as our base. Everything was truly exceptional. Prior to booking, I found Simone & the team to be very responsive and helpful, and this continued throughout our experience including when we were onsite & had any questions, Angie was able to help.
The home that we stayed at (Palladium) was gorgeous & we were pinching ourselves throughout our stay that we had this opportunity to build treasured family memories in such an idyllic setting. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Unique Homestays. The booking process was really straightforward, and the range of properties available is excellent. The team were always quick to respond and were incredibly helpful whenever we had questions, which made the whole process feel very personal and stress-free.

We stayed at Sundance in Trebudannon and absolutely loved it. The property was beautiful, well-equipped, and in a stunning setting. Jane was a wonderful host and very accommodating throughout our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and would happily recommend both Sundance and Unique Homestays to others.
