Cornwall | Sleeps eight
Sitting in the delightful village of Charlestown in south Cornwall, Tredore is a tranquil escape, with gorgeous interiors, a peaceful garden, and a fantastic location just a short stroll away from Charlestown’s harbourside, with its eateries, galleries and street-food pop ups. Plus, the coast path nearby is perfect for summertime adventures.
Yorkshire | Sleeps two
Make your way to the enchanting Yorkshire Dales where you will find The Dairy, a cosy getaway for two. Spend your summer exploring this unforgettable part of the UK, with its forests, waterfalls, mountains and fells, and take some time to simply unwind in your peaceful surroundings.
Devon | Sleeps six
Rainbow Cottage is a fairy-tale thatched cottage in east Devon, in a delightfully tranquil setting. Perfect for a rural getaway this summer, you’re sure to fall in love with the charming interiors and delightful garden, perfect for those al fresco suppers and evening drinks.
The Cotswolds | Sleeps two
Full of charm, Box Tree Cottage is just the place for a romantic holiday this summer. Within easy reach from London, here you can explore the delightful Cotswold towns and villages during the day, before making your way to the beautiful walled garden to savour those slow summertime evenings.
Pembrokeshire | Sleeps six
There’s perhaps nowhere more special than the Pembrokeshire coast in the summertime. And you won’t get much closer to the coastline than with a stay at To the Lighthouse - perched on the headland in a secluded location. Enjoy boat trips, lazy beach days, plenty of fresh sea air, and incredible sunsets over the shoreline.
Sussex | Sleeps eight
Bring seven of your favourite people to Castlemans Coach House for a luxurious cottage stay this summer. This charming getaway has a pretty terrace for breakfast al fresco, and you’re sure to find plenty to do nearby, including touring idyllic vineyards and wandering around gorgeous gardens.
Dorset | Sleeps six
Poorton House is a delightful thatched cottage, nestled within the peaceful countryside. Spend your summer holiday exploring the sweet Dorset villages and dramatic coastline - or you might just want to stay in the pretty cottage garden all day for picnics and garden games under the sun. And who could blame you?!
Somerset | Sleeps eight
Tucked away on the breath-taking Somerset coastline, on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Meadowbank is a fabulous getaway - ideal for a special family holiday this summer. The outside space is perfect for barbecues, and you’ll have direct access to a children’s play area, tennis courts and football pitches.
Cornwall | Sleeps four
5 Valency Row is a sweet Grade II Listed cottage, just moments from the picturesque harbour in Boscastle. Spend your summer holiday exploring the galleries, shops and eateries, walking the glorious coast path, enjoying sunset picnics on one of the many nearby beaches and swimming in the harbour.
