Nestled away in rural Oxfordshire, you'll find this modern manor home that's sure to make any family get-together an unforgettable one. Everything feels super-sized here, from the generous bedrooms and sleek white kitchen complete with an island to the two separate living rooms. The design is rustic-inspired without feeling dated in any way, especially the bold print wallpaper and natural-themed artwork. Out through the glass doors, there's a large lawn, alfresco seating and even a hot tub, so you can truly soak up the tranquillity of these parts. There are two National Trust sites that can be reached in under ten minutes' drive, while the Warburg Nature Reserve takes sixteen minutes in the car. For a change of pace at any time, the town of Henley-on-Thames is fourteen minutes' drive away, where you'll find independent shops and riverside pubs.

Picture a quiet village in the Chiltern Hills, with a gorgeous redbrick house, clematis scaling its exterior and a bloom of white hydrangea to greet you upon entry. Fortunately, it’s not too good to be true, you’ll find this idyllic escape on the cusp of Sonning Common. Inside, it’s a sophisticated blend of modern touches and traditional country style, with carefully restored original timber beams for added charm. A light, bright kitchen gives way to the acre of gardens—the real star of the show. While the little ones are enthralled by the play area and the big kids are practicing their swings at the golf net, start up the wood-fired pizza oven or go apple picking in the fruit orchard. On balmy Thursday evenings during the summer, there’s a tractor trailer pub crawl but if you fancy staying closer to home, you’ll find a cosy inn just across the road.

Private Pool

Whisk your loved one away to this rural retreat on the outskirts of Hungerford, Berkshire. The countryside surroundings are idyllic, especially from the heated pool – it’s exclusively yours to use between June and September. Guests don’t have access to the gardens, though. Inside, there is a lot of room for just two people, but the living area is still cosy with plush sofas. Bear in mind that it’s not suitable for children, including babies. Location wise, Hungerford’s antique shops, unique boutiques, and friendly pubs are just 6 miles away. 

Rolling Rest

Set over five acres of beautiful Oxfordshire farmland, this cosy loft home is a lovely choice for a romantic getaway to the countryside. You'll be surrounded by landscaped gardens and unspoilt views towards the Goring Gap. Plus, Oxford lies just twenty minutes away by train while London Paddington is an hour from your door. Additionally, there's a pub within easy walking distance for effortless suppers after busy days spent traversing the fields. It's worth noting that babies in their own Moses basket are welcome to stay, though pets are not allowed due to the farmland animals.

Nice to haves

Spread out across three floors in this modern townhouse. Unique wooden furniture imported from India adds a touch of elegance to the minimalist, white decor. Get together for movie night in the modern living area (there’s Netflix on the smart TV). Breakfast can be made that bit brighter by throwing open the French doors and letting the sunshine in. Or, take the whole show out to the patio on a summer morning. If the kids tire of playing in the Wendy House in the garden, there’s a play park just around the corner. Locally you’ll find a convenience store, café and gym. Walk a little further for a major supermarket, pubs and restaurants. Or jump in your car (there are four private parking spaces at your disposal, you don’t have to worry about parking) and you’re in the bustling heart of Reading town centre in just 10 minutes.

Peace and quiet await at this eye-catching, 300-year-old barn. It sits on the lakeside in idyllic Sonning Eye, an eight-minute drive from the buzzing shops and pretty high street of Henley-on-Thames. The highlight is the vast outdoor space where lawns provide space for ball games and there’s a dedicated basketball court. By the lakeside, a fire pit and seating area is the ideal spot for sundowners and there’s plenty of space to dine on the huge patio. The vast open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is a fabulous spot to socialise of an evening and there’s a second seating area in the Asian-inspired sitting room. Each ensuite bedroom feels hotel-level lavish.

Perched in a serene setting, this gorgeous house in Henley-on-Thames provides an idyllic suburban escape amidst nature without being too far away from the hustle of central London (a forty-minute drive away). Set in Oxfordshire, the location is as blissful as they come and the perfect location for country walks and a quintessentially English experience. Step outside into the home's stunning backyard where you'll find a weeping willow romanticising the garden scene. With plenty of seating areas to choose from – enjoy sunny afternoons out on the patio by the fire pit, at the alfresco dining table or even swaying on the rope-tire swing on the lawn. Since the inside is just as lush as the outside, you'll be spoilt for choice when hanging out at home here. From the light and airy kitchen-diner with panoramic views of the garden through the French windows to the cosy living room with snuggly interiors centred around the wood log burner. We particularly love the cute little desk nook found under the stairs – it offers an extra little secluded spot to get down to some work when needed. And when you're all worked out – The Greyhound Pub (run by Anthony Warrell Thompson) is conveniently situated just a two-minute drive or a short walk away from your front door. The quaint cobble-stoned town of Henley-on-Thames also makes its mark on the sporting scene by hosting The Henley Royal Regatta – a world-famous rowing competition that sees thousands of visitors arrive to spectate more than 200 races (including Olympians among the participants). Frankly, we couldn't think of a more perfect base from which to enjoy the five-day sporting extravaganza. As from here, you'll lap up both a relaxing holiday and the buzz of the iconic event in full swing.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live next door to a member of the royal family, this place might have the answers. Situated just a few metres from iconic Windsor Castle, this simple but stylish apartment is a great base for those looking to get up close and personal with British royalty, tucked just round the corner from the late Queen’s historic weekend home. 

Wander down the cobbled street and find yourself face to face with the oldest occupied castle in the world, then set off for a relaxing stroll along the river followed by a spot of window shopping in Windsor’s boutique stores. Then, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, come home to your gorgeous apartment, where panelled walls and soft, wooden tones will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into your very own royal residence. 

This place has everything you need for a relaxing evening in, so why not make the most of it? Run yourself a soothing bubble bath and unwind in the standalone tub or slip into your comfiest clothes and catch up on your favourite shows in the cosy living room. We don’t know about you, but we have a sneaking suspicion King Charles will be doing exactly the same thing next door.

Underfloor Heating

Welcome to a rural retreat that serves up not only the perfect idyllic location, surrounded by fields but also bags of style and comfort. There's nothing rustic about this place, with underfloor heating, window walls and a high-end kitchen and bathroom. A modern oak barn that feels private and secluded, it's the ideal space to get away from it all and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Start your day with coffee at the breakfast bar, and decide between a long walk in the Chilterns and exploring the nearby towns and villages (we recommend the market town of Thame, just an eight-minute drive away). But if you're here to go completely off the radar for a few days, that's fine too – there's nothing stopping you from lounging in the garden hammock all day, soaking in the private hot tub and streaming your favourite shows on TV. And as the sun begins to set, light the barbecue and enjoy your meal on the patio, before heading up to the balcony for the best view of the stars before bed.

This characterful cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway. Set among 80 acres of vineyards, woodland, and fishing lakes, with views as far as the eye can see from the private patio, you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the country here. We love the unique features inside – like the circular-shaped lounge and curved staircase – and who could resist a relaxing soak in the Jacuzzi bathtub? Location-wise, you’re perfectly placed for hikes and bike rides in the surrounding countryside and for adventures further afield, the market town of Farnham is 11 miles away and historic Winchester is a 20-mile drive.

Nestled between two islands on the picturesque banks of the River Thames – this beautiful thatched Edwardian home built in 1903, under a fifteen-minute drive from Windsor, is the perfect riverside retreat. Watch the boats, ducks and swans on the river go by from your own private heated pool. Lawns stretch down to the water – perfect for a game of croquet or challenge someone to a game of table tennis. There’s also a multipurpose play area for any younger children.

Inside, you'll see more of those divine riverside vistas. There are two living rooms and plenty of space for entertaining your family or friends. We love the master bedroom’s balcony, but a real highlight of this home for us was the bedroom attached to the side of the house on stilts. It’s constructed out of 19th century beams from one of the last pioneering ships bound for Australia and contains beautiful carvings and unique features from this period.

When you want to explore, your hosts can help arrange River Thames boat trips to pick you and your guests up directly from the garden. There’s also a lovely pub in the nearby village of Wraysbury, a ten-minute walk away. As well as close proximity to Windsor and Eton, Ascot racecourse is just over twenty minutes in the car and Thorpe Park, a fifteen-minute ride, while Henley, which hosts the Royal Regatta is forty minutes. If you visit London, Slough train station (a fifteen-minute drive away) runs services to London Paddington, the fastest being fourteen minutes.



One of England's Watery Gems

Surrounded by green fields and majestic trees, this Grade II listed cottage opens its doors to the endless charm of the English countryside. 

And anyone looking to experience the poetic romance of rural living will love this home. From the moment you open the wooden gate, you’ll want to pause and savour the beauty of the garden. There’s a quality of magic here that captivates the senses and invites you to keep exploring. 

Inside, the traditional features and elegant styling fill this cottage with warmth and comfort. It’s an intimate space perfect for families and friends to share quality time together. From cosy mornings in the kitchen to lazy afternoons curled up on the sofa, it’s easy to embrace the slow and gentle pace of village life. 

Stroll into Wilcot or weave your way through the beautiful Pewsey Vale – there are some wonderful walks along the Kennet and Avon canal. Or make the short drive to the historic market town of Marlborough where you’ll find great local shops and restaurants including Rick Stein’s – only ten–minutes away. 

As the day draws to a close, this cottage is the perfect place to relax with a candlelit dinner. Gather around the table and celebrate the joy of countryside living.

Blending the atmosphere of a traditional country cottage with modern, open-plan living, we think Wych Elm is an incredible home for an authentic country getaway. The original features, like the working fireplace and traditional windows, make the space feel cosy despite the large size. With ample space for socialising, it would suit a larger group looking to be well-placed to explore the charming villages of the Cotswolds.


Wych Elm

Every corner is outfitted to pamper you: an olive-green sofa perfect for relaxation, a four-poster bed ensuring serenity and golden slumber, a peaceful garden offering mesmerizing views of the village life. The cottage dazzles with character amidst original timbers, polished flagstones and vibrant colours.

Always fantasized about being Lord or Lady of the Manor? Well, now you can be, sort of. This historic stable building (dating back to 1900) is part of a family estate located in the Dorset village of Hinton St Mary. Along with the estate’s gatehouse (also available on Plum Guide), it's been recently refurbished and is accessible to outsiders for the first time. We loved the balance between period features and brand new additions, like the shiny bathroom and kitchen gadgets. Everything is finished in the best possible taste, with some lovely personal touches. The owners clearly want their new guests to feel at home, as they’re happy to accommodate needs, whims and fancies, from arranging a paid-for chef or babysitter, to offering a choice of seasonal duvets, luggage storage, locally sourced ingredients in the welcome pack and everything you’d need to bring your baby (high chair, cot, dinnerware, pram, potty, etc). The home’s location is another definite selling point. At the end of a small village lane, near a cricket green and traditional pub, it’s picturesque and quaint. The nearest town is Sturminster Newton where there are plenty of shops and cafes, a great deli and butchers. This home makes a great base to explore the famous Dorset coast and countryside or simply settle back and relax by the wood-burning stove and imagine your servants are just out of sight.

Come for the countryside, stay for the drama. Set in the sprawling Wiltshire estate that once belonged to the twelfth Earl of Shaftesbury, this former riding house exudes the spirit of the original stables thanks to a meticulous restoration – modern comforts meet ancient artefacts and authenticity. It's one of those homes that takes your breath away from the second you open the front door. The owners have made no effort to cover up the fact it's from a bygone era – and that's why we love it, true to the past with period artwork, original features, beamed ceilings, even a banqueting hall for grand feasts (which feels very extravagant when you're having your cereal). The velvet furnishings and exposed brick only add to the step back in time. An honesty bar is housed in a secret cupboard by the billiard table, and there are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves where you can select a novel to lose yourself in. Each bedroom comes with a luxurious roll-top bath, and the wooden dividers that once separated horses have been cleverly repurposed to create privacy screens. Outside, vast acres of the manor's parkland are yours to explore, so remember to bring your welly boots. This home is a fine example of outstanding restoration – countryside lovers may never want to leave.

Games Room

In the popular South Coast resort of Southsea, Portsmouth, you will find this fantastic home which boasts easy walking distance to the beach, a games room, a cinema room, and an outdoor terrace complete with a hot tub. So, whether the sun is shining during the summer or it’s a typical British day filled with rain, there is always something fun to do here. 

Spend your days on the beach or explore the vibrant city of Portsmouth with its fantastic outlet shopping at Gunwharf Quays – reachable in less than ten minutes by car. Enjoy a game of pool before dinnertime, and listen to songs from the jukebox as a backdrop to your family competition. Then, after dinner, snuggle up in the cinema room and watch a film. When the little ones are all tucked up in bed, what could be a better way to end the night than with a glass of wine in the hot tub?

Pier I Am

Situated on a historic private estate in the heart of Gloucestershire, this dreamy cottage is the perfect setting for your next family getaway to the Cotswolds. 

You’d be hard-pressed to find a cosier base than this – boasting a snug living room complete with soft throws and a toasty fireplace, this is the kind of place we all dream of coming home to after a chilly day in the English countryside. Warm up with a cup of tea on the sofa or head upstairs to the family bathroom for a relaxing bubble bath before drifting off to sleep in one of the cottage's quiet bedrooms.

The next morning, start your day with a breakfast of locally produced organic goodies from the local farm shop or – if the weather’s on your side – head out to the garden and soak up some sun. This is the perfect place for little ones and four-legged friends to roam but there’s plenty to explore in the local area if you fancy a change of scenery. Breathe in the sweet scent of lime blossom as you travel down the 800-metre private road leading out of the estate – with Westonbirt Arboretum, Berkeley Castle, and The Cotswold Water Park all within striking distance, you've got plenty of destinations to choose from so why not ditch the GPS and see where the day takes you?

Avon Stream juxtaposes the old and the new oh so perfectly. From a Georgian façade and original fireplaces to modern furnishings and contemporary finishes – the home offers a contrast with elegance and style throughout. A lot of care has also been put into the quality of the furniture – we deem the mattresses to be a particular highlight. We also. love that the entire basement floor of this home is underfloor heated – blissful in the winter months when you can kick off your shoes and just unwind. Add into the mix, gig sash windows, high ceilings, and the central (yet surprisingly peaceful) location – and you've got yourself a pristine base from which to explore the picturesque city of Bath. Stroll just seven minutes to visit the historic Roman baths and explore the high street boutiques, cafes and restaurants that surround it. There's no need to drive or even use public transport here, as most of the city is within reach of a convenient walk from your apartment.

Parking On Street

Buzzy Bruton life is on your doorstep at this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, set right along the well-heeled high street. Mingle with the movers, shakers, and millionaires in its gastropubs, independent shops, and art galleries. Or don your walking boots for bracing country walks – the house has direct access to a quiet lane leading onto the rolling countryside surrounding Bruton.

Back home, there’s room for all ten of you to pile into this magnificent three-storey home. Filled to the rafters with Georgian architectural details, original flagstone floors and exposed brickwork archways strike a note of authenticity, while a contemporary extension housing the open concept living space is firmly in the 21st century. And we love how pared back and gloriously clutter-free everywhere feels, allowing the contemporary artwork and vintage statement furniture to do all the talking.

On sunny mornings, spill out into the garden room and slide back the French doors onto the suntrap patio – there’s an outdoor dining area complete with a built-in barbecue that’s prime for lazy breakfasts or alfresco evening meals. Winter evenings are all about getting around that Fritz Hansen dining room table with original Eames chairs for slap-up dinners and catch-ups. And you can always keep the night flowing with a game of table tennis in the games room, squirreled away in the ancient stone garage. Or get your game face on for a late-night session around that Edwardian poker table.

Staying in this charming Cotswolds cottage can make you feel like you’re a character from a Jane Austen novel. Located in a wonderfully secluded part of Wiltshire and surrounded by sprawling fields and farm animals, this home is a rural sanctuary of calm. French doors merge the comfortable living room with the natural light and country air of the outdoors – it's the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book, playing games or rustling up a home-cooked meal while socialising with friends and family. Grab a glass of your favourite and sit out on the garden patio, which overlooks picturesque views of the verdant valley. In the mood for exploring? This location gives you easy access to countless walking trails, and when you’re not wandering the fields or following footpaths, there’s a host of traditional pubs and local restaurants to take your fancy. While you’re here, it’s worth visiting the nearby towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury – and check your calendar, maybe your stay overlaps with the famed Badmiton Horse Trials or Tetbury Woolsack Race. 

Penny-Farthing

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 your doorstep, this is a great spot to switch off and get in touch with nature. But if you're in the mood for a change of pace, Bath is just a twenty-minute drive away.

Set within a magnificent riverside terrace on Bath’s sought-after Grade II listed Norfolk Crescent, this luminous first-floor apartment is set to swish you into a world of Regency class and glamour. Provided the ultimate Bath experience in this prestigious address, you and your pooch (that's right, this home is pet-friendly) can step back in time to an era of refinement while enjoying 21st-century comforts. 

Take in sweeping views of the landmark crescent from the living room’s floor-to-ceiling sash windows, as you tuck into the provided breakfast at the sunny kitchen table. Period pieces in the main room and bedroom create a decadent impression fit for royalty – the elegant fireplace is a particular highlight – while the bathroom’s roll-top tub beckons long, relaxing soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of seeing the sights. 

Speaking of exploring, you’re just a twelve-minute walk from the Roman Baths, and an eight-minute stroll from the Jane Austen Centre, while the Royal Crescent is nine minutes away on foot. Here, you can enjoy the benefits of having the city on your doorstep while being cloaked in peace and dignity.

Herb Garden

Situated on a small family-run agricultural nursery, we think this luxury lodge is the perfect place to switch off and recharge. Not only is the location excellent – the idyllic South Downs are practically on your doorstep – but the attention to detail here is second-to-none. Rainfall showers and eco-friendly toiletries in the bathrooms, Netflix on the smart TVs and a panini maker in the kitchen are just a few of the things we love. The design is impeccable with blue velvet, dark greys and lots of wood. It's the perfect blend between rustic, country living and contemporary comforts, with chic furniture handmade by host Lucca. Speaking of, he'll leave a welcome hamper brimming with goodies for you to enjoy, and depending on the season, it'll contain fresh Italian fruit and veg grown on their farm. 

Days start and end here out on the deck, enjoying alfresco breakfasts in the sun and evening dips in the private hot tub. In between, set off and explore the local area – just walk out the front gates and you're on the National Trust South Downs footpath, leading towards Highdown Hill. A fourteen-minute walk away is the local pub, a few eateries and shops in Ferring, and it's only a five-minute drive to the beach. And with Worthing, Chichester and Brighton all less than an hour by car, you'll have plenty of options for adventures around West Sussex.

Even before you enter, it’s clear that there’s something special about Faerie World. The high position of the cottage gives a heavenly view of the stream below, and you can hear the babbling water from the terrace, which is itself surrounded by flowers, and makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. Once inside, the living room and bedroom don’t disappoint. The bedroom in particular, with its Farrow & Ball colours, stands out. The kitchen doesn’t have the same aesthetic charm, but that’s a small gripe, and shouldn't give you any cause for concern.

Faerie World

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 is blessed when it comes to location, sitting almost equidistantly between South Downs National Park and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – as you might imagine, there's a wealth of walking routes to embark upon that start straight from the farm or just a short drive away. The seaside isn't too far away, either – you can get over to Worthing in just over half an hour in the car.

Set on a farm in West Sussex, this charming cottage is the perfect couple’s retreat or solo getaway. The interiors are bright and fun, with pops of block colour punctuating each room. Downstairs there’s a cosy living area with a wood burning stove, which you can put a log on and curl up in front of a film in the evening. The modern kitchen is well stocked for cooking up homely meals, or on warm days fire up the barbecue and enjoy lunch alfresco at the wooden table outside. Look out the kitchen window and you might spot Nellie and Maggie, the shaggy Shetland ponies whose paddock is twenty feet away. Feel free to give them a carrot or two! 

The cottage is on a farm run by your hosts. You are surrounded by the great outdoors here, and you’ll have direct access to footpaths and bridleways which take you through the farm and out into the picturesque countryside beyond. As you walk out, stop by the Stud house, where you can say hello to the native ponies in their stable. The village of Billingshurst is a four-minute drive away, where you’ll find a supermarket and some local country pubs. Pay a visit to the Nyetimber vineyard, a fourteen-minute drive away, and pick up some of their excellent sparkling wine. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of bubbly back at home as the sun sets over the fields.

Located in the heart of Southampton – just a three-minute walk to Oxford Street, which is home to several great eateries for meals out – this apartment is a great base for city living. After breakfast here, catch up on important work at the home’s desk space before you head out for the day.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the water of the harbour and admire the boats in Ocean Village – just a short ten-minute walk from your door. Or, indulge in a shopping spree at West Quay shopping centre – reachable in twelve minutes on foot. 

What’s more, the Red Funnel Ferries that will take you to the Isle of Wight for the day are just a fourteen-minute walk or four-minute drive from this home, and if you find yourself inspired, the apartment’s desk space is the perfect spot to begin a novel set on the island. Then, after a fantastic meal out or a home-cooked dinner, we would love to head up to the shared roof terrace on the sixth floor at sunset to admire the stunning views of the cityscape.
