Interhome

I booked a woodland lodge in Wales for a long weekend with my mates and the photos on the app are honest, which is rare. Loads of space and the hot tub was buzzing. Only thing was the wifi was a bit rubbish but that's rural life innit.

Booked a caravan in Devon for a few nights with mates and the search was decent enough. The owner took about two days to reply to my question about whether the hot tub was working, which was annoying when we were trying to lock it in. Once that was sorted the stay was fine.

Looked at a couple of other sites first but this one had a lake cabin in the Lake District with a proper hot tub. The listing was clear about what was included and the cancellation terms were easy to find. Everything matched when we arrived.

I've been booking self catering for years so I know what to expect. This time I took a farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales with a log burner and a proper drying room. The deposit schedule was clear but the balance was taken earlier than I'm used to, and the owner took a day to reply to my question about parking. Otherwise the stay itself was as described and the directions to the house were spot on.

I needed a place for a week near the Scottish border for a family reunion, and budget was the main thing for us. This was the cheapest option that still had enough bedrooms, and the price included most of the extras. The cottage was warm and had everything we needed for the week, which made it very good value.

Been booking self catering through them for years now and the listings still show the real deductible and cancellation terms up front. Picked a converted barn in the Cotswolds, confirmed in minutes.

Been using this for holiday homes for about twelve years now and it has always been straightforward. The most recent booking was a cottage in the Cotswolds for our anniversary, and the owner had left a bottle of wine and a note. Check in was simple and the place was clean.

The filters on the site were the first thing I noticed, you can narrow it right down to step-free access and it actually works, which I didn't expect. Booking was quick and the confirmation came straight through. We stayed in a ground floor flat near Bath and everything was exactly as described, no surprises at all.

Booked a villa in Spain on my phone during a lunch break and it took five minutes. Confirmation came straight away and the owner messaged the next morning. Great for a quick trip away.

First time using them and I'd compared it with booking the villa direct with the owner. Went through them instead and the paperwork was clearer, though the deposit was a bit more than I expected and the confirmation took two days to arrive.

We needed somewhere big enough for three generations for a week in Cornwall, and this was far cheaper than the hotels we had been looking at. The house had four bedrooms and a decent garden, and the owner left everything we needed for the kids. You get what you pay for, and here you get a lot.

We have been going to the same lakeside house in the Lake District for over ten years, and this is the one we keep choosing. The latest booking was for the house with the private jetty that we always ask for. The owner has kept it looking spot on and the arrival instructions have never changed, which makes the trip easy to plan year after year.

I've booked through a few of the big sites over the years so I had a clear idea what to compare. This one showed the full house rules and the total cost upfront, which the others often hide until the last step. The farmhouse in Northumberland was exactly as listed and the owner was quick to reply.

The cottage on the Norfolk coast was lovely and the booking was simple enough. The only thing I'd mention is the cleaning fee, which was added at the end and came to quite a bit more than I'd budgeted for. Otherwise it was all as described.

We needed somewhere on one level after my hip operation, and most places we looked at had stairs or were not clear about it. The filters on the site let us narrow it to a ground floor bungalow in Cornwall with a level shower. The owner had left a welcome pack and the lock was easy to use, which mattered a great deal to us. We went back the following year and booked the same place again without any fuss.

Booked a little lodge in the Peak District for a weekend away with my boyfriend and the photos matched what we got, which was nice. The booking itself was quick on my phone. The bit that annoyed me was the security deposit, they wanted it held on my card for a week and then it took ages to be released after we checked out, so I had to chase the owner about it. Otherwise lovely place.

We needed a dog friendly place for a long weekend in the Peak District after our old holiday let fell through. This was our first time using the site and the search let me filter for dogs straight away. The cottage was lovely and had a big enclosed garden, although the pet fee was higher than I had expected. The check in instructions came the day before, which was helpful. Would book with them again.

I'd compared them with a well known holiday rental site before booking and this one felt much less clear. The property in Devon was smaller than the listing suggested and the amenities list left out the heating was only on a timer. Getting a reply from the owner about it took nearly a week.

I compared them with a high street travel agent we had used before, and found the holiday home booking far simpler to manage. The contact details for the property were given promptly and the check in was straightforward. I did find the price a little above what I'd seen elsewhere for the same week.
