Plum Guide: Reviews by Condé Nast Traveller

Find yourself wondering 'Is Plum Guide Legit?'.

It's ok, we understand. Trusting a new brand with a large purchase can be nerve wracking. Vacations are important, they don't happen often (or as often as we'd like) and they can be one of your biggest annual purchases - so you have to get it right. We don't showcase guest reviews on our site, why? because we've vetted the homes for you, removing the need to have to scroll through countless reviews, deciphering which are reliable and how much weight to put on them. However, we understand trust is important so you can view reviews of our service on TrustPilot, and we've pulled together a few of our favourite stays with Condé Nast Traveller - a trusted industry publication, for that extra peace of mind.

"We so enjoyed staying at Through the Ages that we’re considering making this a yearly trip – and no doubt I’ll happily pander to my friends' need to experience this side of the UK every year, but only if I get to stay here."

This home was tried and tested in September 2024.

"The best part? The bespoke services here make it seem more like a decadent hotel stay: daily fresh bread and pastry deliveries and the option to have breakfast whipped up by the staff. Who said self-catering with kids had to be hard? It’s a win-win for children and parents alike."

"From the first glance, I could tell using the service would make my search easier. Their criteria for listings on the site include strong Wi-Fi and functional kitchens, for starters. But the listings are also consistently gorgeous—as if you applied an “aesthetically pleasing” filter. "

"Making and cherishing new memories after being apart from my family, we rented the 18th-century House on a Hill, a manor with beadboard paneling on Calton Hill that was big enough for the eight of us, through rental amalgamator Plum Guide."
