Nestled in the secluded Wiltshire countryside, this rural cottage will inspire you to unplug and unwind. Wake up each morning to the sound of birds chirping in the trees outside, then pad downstairs and enjoy an alfresco breakfast on the balcony. The views are pretty spectacular – you've got uninterrupted scenery of the valley from almost every room, so if peace and quiet is what you crave, you can't do much better. We love the original blue sash windows downstairs, but the real showstopper is the master bedroom, which is bright and cosy. Sink into the cushy armchair in front of the windows with a good book and cup of tea or relax with a soak in the roll-top, clawfoot bathtub. When the sun goes down, rustle up a meal in the quaint country-style kitchen – best enjoyed around the antique table set for two – then snuggle up in front of the wood-burning stove for a cosy night at home. Set on an organic farm with countless nature walks on yo...More Details
Hidden away next to ancient woodland in rural Essex, this cabin is a British getaway that overflows with quirk and charm. Inside, classically styled furnishings, such as the tufted Chesterfield, oak dining table and the four-poster bed that's come straight out of a fairytale, rub shoulders with the eclectic animal portraits that dot the wall, the antler chandelier and antique-style gramophone — which actually works in case you're in the mood for a boogie. The copper rolltop bathtub that lies just next to the bed is another decadent touch that we can't help but salute. The home's exterior is full of pleasant surprises, too. When the weather's warm enough — and even when it's not — you can sit out in the home's hot tub, before drying off on one of the egg chairs next to the roaring fire pit. It's possible to hear the sounds of wildlife from the neighbouring forest, as well as the occasional roar from Colchester Zoo, which is less than t...More Details

Let’s start outside, where you can’t help but notice the outdoor hot tub. We recommend chilling a bottle of champagne and starting the holiday alongside these two very different types of bubbles.

Quite fittingly for a home around five minutes' walk from Herne Bay's coastline, this home is slightly reminiscent of a beach shack. Admittedly, it's a lot bigger than the much-coveted huts you'll see in the local area, but the weathered timber around the fireplace, the bright white walls and the large double doors that open up to let the sea air blow through the space help create the laidback feel. Outside, there's a small yard complete with a picnic table for when you fancy an alfresco supper, but there are several seafront restaurants on Central Parade a couple of minutes away on foot, as well as plenty more on the High Street in the other direction. A lovely walking route through The Downs starts five minutes' walk from the front door, too. *The home is on the ground floor and has no steps inside *There's no private car parking space, but there are paid car parks in Herne Bay starting from as close as three minutes' walk away, as ...More Details

Get ready for kid-free glamping about 4 miles from the Lake District. Set on a scenic estate, this solar-powered cabin opens you up to fresh-air activities including brown trout fishing, pony trekking, and clay pigeon shooting. What this home lacks in steady wi-fi and a well-lit pathway, it makes up for in woodland views from the private deck – perfect for alfresco dining and fire pit hangouts. While a welcome hamper is provided, Greystoke is just over a mile away for a relaxed bite to eat. *While babies under 12 months are welcome, this home isn't suitable for toddlers or children. *The wi-fi can be temperamental here.

Every care has been taken to modernise this Victorian cottage without diminishing its period charm. We love the old-world touches, like the cast iron heaters, sparkling chandeliers and ornate vintage mirrors. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the big city is a no-brainer here.

One of a collection of three cottages on a thirteen-acre working farm in West Sussex, this home is nowhere near as rustic as these details might suggest. Step behind the front door and you'll find an interior that's contemporarily styled with a few quirky touches. The stark white walls and sleek tiling make for a blank canvas against which the colourful cushions and hand-painted kitchen chairs really pop off. As well as that, the modern grey kitchen and pristine bathrooms are a world away from the back-to-basics country cottages that pepper the map in these parts – the rolltop bathtub in particular is sure to make a lot of guests very happy. When the weather's on your side, there's a private outdoor space with an alfresco table and barbecue, but it's also lovely to wander about the shared parts of the site. The hosts run a private stud and breed native ponies, so if you're lucky, you might see a foal or two during your stay. The home...More Details
