Quite Getaway

Levante & Mistral Coastal Cabins

The Coastal Cabin that was affectionately Called Mistral.Very Quite with stunning 360 views that feast the eyes.Apon opening the door you are greated with a lounge area with a kitchen. Which has a twin hob, microwave and a fridge freezer. All our smartly layed out and tasty decorated. There are two large sliding doors which when opened give you passage to a mead bedroom with a double bed. Nice decor in hear too attached is a door to a rather great bathroom. This has a walk in shower, arty looking sink and a toilet. Smartly presented. There is no TV at this cabin but why would the hell you need one anyway.
So the question is will you book to be honest you will be a fool not to......

They cancelled our booking last minute, no explanation!


I booked in January and was looking forward to a 2-night stay in Stratford-upon-Avon with my husband & 2 children over the Easter holidays. However, I received an email on the Thursday evening before our stay the following Tuesday to cancel, & without explanation. The alternative x2 accommodation options offered were not of the same standard and one not even in Stratford. Only on pushing I was told that the owner had decided to move back into the property (not true as I’ve since seen it listed again).
The next day after getting their email was Good Friday so stressful to make other arrangements over a long weekend. Overall, such a disappointment and so unprofessional in how this was managed- I will never book through Pass the Keys again.

I thought Pass the Keyes was the name…

I thought Pass the Keyes was the name of the Airbnb so things got a little complicated at our end. I told the hosts I would be arriving anytime between 10pm and midnight. Couldn't find the place. Phoned pass the keys twice and didn't get a reply. Text their offices and was told they closed at 10pm. Lucky someone did reply and with the help of neighbours managed to find the airbnb

Great company

Pass the Keys managed a house I rented in Brighton via Airbnb over Easter weekend. They were very prompt to reply to a question I had, despite the bank holiday, and were just lovely to communicate with. Genuinely nice people behind phone and text messages. I’d be happy to rent through them again.

I had a great experience with this air bnb

I had a great experience with this Airbnb stay. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout, making everything easy from booking to check-out. The key handover process was smooth and well-organised, with clear instructions provided in advance, so there were no issues on arrival.

The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily book again in the future.

Amazing service

We had an incredible stay at The Dovecote, an absolute gem tucked away in a wonderfully peaceful area of the Cotswolds.
The home itself is a stunning example of ultra-modern architecture, huge glass windows that flooded every room with natural light and offered uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. It felt like living in a piece of art while still being really comfortable and private.
What truly set this stay apart, however, was the incredible service. The Pass The Keys team were consistently responsive and attentive, ensuring every detail of our visit was perfect. Highly recommend them.
