About Coolstays
Stay somewhere extraordinary!
At Coolstays, we curate more than places to sleep — we curate experiences. Discover over 3,000 unique places to stay across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

We started Coolstays with one simple idea: make it effortless to uncover out-of-the-ordinary places to stay. Instead of endless generic listings, we offer a curated collection of unique holiday rentals — each with its own charm, story, and personality.
Today, we proudly champion independent hosts and small businesses who pour love and care into their properties. When you book through Coolstays, you support local owners, family-run businesses, and sustainable tourism.
We're a small, friendly and approachable crew — passionate about travel and excellent service.
See our team →Coolstays is built on a belief that independent is better. We work directly with hosts who value authenticity over uniformity — from a couple running a rustic barn conversion in Devon, to a family caring for a traditional villa in Tuscany.
From treehouses and shepherd's huts to boutique hotels and coastal villas — every listing is hand-picked for style, character, or a little quirk.

Choosing Coolstays helps support local wildlife and environmental initiatives through our ongoing partnerships.
Read our sustainability commitment →We're UK-based, with a collection that stretches across the globe. Whether you're after a coastal cottage in Cornwall, a treehouse in Scotland, a villa in Spain, or a mountain hideaway in the Alps — Coolstays has you covered.
Every place on Coolstays is hand-picked by our team for style, character or a memorable setting. We focus on independent owners and one-of-a-kind stays rather than mass-market listings.
Many of our stays feature eco-conscious design and practices, which we highlight on each listing. We're also officially certified carbon neutral by Positive Planet.
No. We began in the UK, but our collection now spans Europe and selected worldwide destinations.
