Staying in this home is like stepping into a scene from an Austen novel – we can just picture Emma Woodhouse wandering the grounds. Corniced ceilings, antique furniture, country views – there's so much character in this Grade II historic building. The home is part of a grand country estate in Wiltshire, but you'll feel as if you have the whole place to yourself in this private south wing. With the living room’s ample seating in front of the fire and the charming wooden breakfast table, you will be equally comfortable drinking tea or wine in elegance. Make sure to stop by a farm shop on the way to cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen or pre-order fresh or frozen meals to make your stay even easier. Take walks in the gorgeous landscaped gardens, stroll over the bridge on the water, and as night falls gather round the fire pit with drinks. You could spend all day at this country estate, but there's plenty to see in the local area too. Y...More Details

Lodge Cottage
Down a private, tree-lined gravel driveway, set back from a no-through lane, you'll find this gorgeous converted barn overlooking a serene lake and the rural landscape of Wiltshire. It's enveloped by open fields, providing an idyllic, peaceful, rural retreat. Watch the wildlife such as roe deer, rabbits and birds of prey from your patio as you sip a glass of wine. Inside, there's a cottage vibe, combined with modern furnishings and Orla Kiely prints. We love the master bedroom with its French doors opening out to the garden.Out and about, the charming Saxon town of Cricklade is four minutes in the car or around twenty minutes on foot. It has a thriving High Street with an award-winning butcher, a traditional grocer, a micro-brewery, several quality pubs, and an array of restaurants.

The River Runs Away
What was once a machinery shed has now been converted into a gorgeous house on a farm. With wooden beams throughout the living space as well as feature brick walls, this is a fantastic place to reside when dreaming of an escape to rurality. Whether you prefer to dine alfresco or tuck into a meal indoors, you've got the choice of either during your stay here. For those warm evenings, enjoy a homecooked meal under the sunset, washed down with a sumptuous glass of red. Snuggle up on the sofa together to watch a movie on the TV while the children play – they'll love the adventurous mini climbing wall that takes them to the bed deck. Those who love to go on hikes will thrive here thanks to the luscious farmland and greenery that surrounds the area. If you've been craving some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of a busy daily life, you'll love it here. A short drive takes you to the Avebury World Heritage Site with the cosy Nati...More Details

The Calf Shed
Save for the wooden beams and the odd patch of exposed brickwork, guests would have no idea that this was a converted threshing barn dating back to 1820 if they were to just go by the interior. Subtle spotlights in the ceiling, wooden floors and an ultra-sleek kitchen mean this home would slot in rather seamlessly in any urban environment. However, the views out of the huge windows give the game away — guests in the mezzanine living room can enjoy a bucolic panorama of Chalke Valley and acres of working arable farmland on which this building sits. As you can well imagine, there's a whole host of walking routes in the Wiltshire countryside that start pretty much as you leave the front door and the nearest pub is about twenty-five minutes away in the village of Fovent if you need an incentive. The town of Salisbury can be reached in the same amount of time in the car, as well. *There's a 1km-long rural track to reach the property — sport...More Details
