There’s something special about staying right by the water - a certain tranquility and feeling like you’re getting back to nature.  Our collection of waterside breaks is wide and varied, across the UK & Europe.  In the UK, couples will love this houseboat on a private fishing lake in Devon and this loch view hot tub hideaway in Scotland.  And those looking to go offgrid will love this remote cottage in the Cambrian mountains.  For glorious winter waterfront accommodation, try one of our riverside log cabins with private hot tubs in Cumbria, or if you’re looking for a big country house for a party or celebration, then this fabulous Georgian Manor House on the shores of Lake Windermere is a must.  

Further afield, Europe is home to some stunning lakes and rivers.  This boutique hotel in Portugal’s Alentejo region is right next to one of Europe’s largest and cleanest lakes.  In Spain you can stay in farmhouse apartments in Andalucia overlooking a beautiful lake where you can fish, kayak and canoe, or in France you can enjoy a riverside apartment in Bordeaux or a lakeside holiday cottage in a rural setting.

Waterfront holidays, both lakeside and riverside, can be so peaceful.  Enjoy your morning coffee on a private deck overlooking the water, try a spot of fishing, or spend your days kayaking or paddleboarding just steps from your door.  Whether you’re craving activities and adventure, or peace and serenity, waterside breaks can offer it all.
