We personally curate every property. You won’t find generic listings here — only stays with style, character, or a little bit of quirk.

Are Coolstays properties eco-friendly?

Many of our stays are designed with sustainability in mind, from renewable energy to local materials. Plus, we’re a certified carbon neutral company.

Does Coolstays only feature UK properties?

About Coolstays

Our Story & Mission

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.

Supporting Independent Hosts

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.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We are proud to be a climate-conscious company. Our strategy focuses on three key areas:

Reduction: Actively lowering our corporate carbon footprint.
Restoration: Supporting projects that aid biodiversity and reforestation.
Curation: Showcasing eco-friendly properties, from solar-powered cabins to off-grid retreats.

Travel that gives back

Choosing Coolstays helps support local wildlife and environmental initiatives through our ongoing partnership with Green The UK.
