Situated within the idyllic Gotha Gardens at Pembroke Farm, this cottage stays true to its farmhouse heritage without giving up on any modern luxuries. Whitewashed beams adorn the ceilings in the living room, vibrant flatwoven rugs lay on oak floors and an ornamental fireplace takes centre stage. It's the perfect spot to kick back and relax after a long walk through the gardens and the open layout makes it easy to socialise while others rustle up a meal in the French farmhouse-style kitchen. During the summer, head out to the terrace overlooking the courtyard for a cup of tea or evening tipple, surrounded by lush potted plants and pretty flowers. But the best part of this home is the access to the Gotha Gardens. Stroll among the greenery, stopping to smell the roses and nibble on a slice of cake in the courtyard cafe. When you can pull yourself away from this verdant hideaway, it's only a quick drive to Ashwell – home to beautiful architecture and three county pubs – and stately homes like Wimpole Hall and Knebworth House are easily reachable. If you crave a little hustle and bustle, Cambridge is less than forty minutes by car.

Picture This

Once home to bakers and servants working in nearby Arundel Castle, this colourful cottage is packed full of character. Located in Arundel town centre, you’ll be able to stroll to all the must-sees, including the castle, the cathedral, and the River Arun. The home itself boasts eclectic decor and a private garden – ideal for stargazing on a clear night as you’re near a Dark Sky Reserve. The sleeping arrangements here won’t suit everyone – the second bedroom is in a separate cabin accessed via the garden – and the home isn’t suitable for children aged 2-12. We think this place is a good choice for a two couples, or a family with teens, wanting a unique stay in a central spot.

The Arundel Retreat

This Windsor homestay might only be fifteen minutes from the nearest train station, but convenience is far from the only thing this luxury property has to offer. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting soft textures and thoughtful accents that make you feel at home the second you step over the threshold. Go through to the gleaming open-plan kitchen, where you’ll find a gorgeous dining area and enough silverware to host even the most extravagant dinner party, or head straight upstairs and treat yourself to a glass of wine and a long soak in the freestanding bathtub. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on the opportunity to soak up some rare British sunshine out on the patio, where you’ll find a gorgeous rattan furniture arrangement, perfect for socialising with your fellow guests or – if you fancy some peace and quiet –⁠ unwinding on your own with a cup of coffee and a good book.  

When you’re ready to head out, stick to the cobbled streets of Windsor or make your way to London – just fifty minutes away by train – for a spot of sightseeing. For those who’d rather stay put, you’ll have a whole host of attractions at your fingertips, from Windsor Castle – which is just fifteen minutes away by foot – to Legoland, a fun day out for the whole family. 

Fond Memories

Footsteps from the shops, restaurants and cafes that line Eton High Street and a ten-minute walk from Windsor Castle, this cottage suits families, friends and couples alike. Inside, the design blends character with contemporary style, and it's packed with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa in the living area, though – something to bear in mind if you’re planning an extended stay or want plenty of space for socialising. That said, there is a private patio with a seating area, so you can enjoy refreshments alfresco when the sun shines.

Eton Oasis

On a tree-lined crescent road, this elegant apartment occupies the wing of a traditional Victorian home and welcomes you to enjoy a regal stay in southeast London. 

Just a short stroll from Hampton Court Palace as well as the River Thames, you’ll find yourself perfectly poised for magical strolls, sightseeing and the endless delights of city living. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the unique details of this home. From the antique furnishings and ornate styling to the personal touches and leafy garden views, this is the kind of space that promises to bring warmth and joy to your stay – as well as an abundance of charm and character. 

Enjoy relaxing in the elegant sitting room, savour a quiet morning coffee on the balcony, embrace the comfort of home cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen, and sip early evening drinks in the garden. However you choose to spend your time here, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Days can be spent admiring the beauty of the Royal parks – it’s just a short stroll to Bushy Park and a short train ride from Richmond Park. And with an abundance of shops, cafes and eateries on your doorstep, you’ll find yourself living like a London local.

Grace & Light 

Set within 40 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland just west of Windsor, this home is a true escape from it all. Blending contemporary interiors into a traditional English setting, there’s so much to love here. As for location – you couldn’t want more. You’ll spy Windsor Castle on the horizon, and both Ascot and Windsor are fifteen minutes away. Central London? Reachable in just thirty minutes. With stables and an indoor arena on-site, it’s also handy to know that this is set within a prime polo location. And if you'd rather have a relaxing day at home, with a pool, tennis court, gym, library, home cinema, and country walks from the doorstep, there’s so much entertainment, you may never want to leave. 

The Great British Retreat

Hidden away in the gardens of a 16th-century manor house, this home in East Sussex was once a stone farm building, but today, you'll find a rather lovely rural escape.

Despite the property's long history, the interior is contemporary in style, with smart Karndean flooring, soothing white walls and furnishings that come from the Scandi school of style. Aside from during the depths of winter, fresh flowers sourced from the flourishing south-facing garden, which can be spotted out of the living room windows, are thoughtfully arranged about the house by the host. 

Head out the back door and you can admire the magnolia tree and plant beds for yourself, or simply sit out on the patio with the barbecue smoking away in the background. From this vantage point, It's possible to see Newick's 11th-century sandstone church — the clock of which is silent, you might be happy to learn.

Elsewhere in the village, there's a cricket pitch, a children's playground, and a woodland walk that comes alive with bluebells in the spring. In the morning, why not check out the local bakery and grab some fresh croissants for breakfast? For lunch, stop by the cafe, and for dinner, choose from three oak-beamed pubs featuring roaring fires and tasty meals, all within easy walking distance.

Although the locale feels like the quintessential English countryside, the city of Brighton only takes thirty-five minutes to reach in the car whenever you have a hankering for a day at the seaside.

Village Life

Sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds, this pet-friendly barn conversion overlooks the River Windrush water meadows. While some spots of this home have reduced privacy, including the mezzanine bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with two access points, we love the open-concept living space for casual itinerary planning. The complimentary starter pack and baby travel equipment offer bonuses, but there are gaps in the garden fence which makes supervision necessary. With ample parking, ticking Blenheim Palace and the Bodleian Library off your bucket list is easy.

Windrush Whispers

Part of the historic Estate of Dorney Court, this timber-framed house dates back to the sixteenth century and is a magical blend of heritage and modernity.

The former great hall is emblematic of this. The thirty-foot-high ceilings remain, as do the wooden beams in the vaults, but there have been a few recent additions, from the glitzy chandelier and bovine-themed artwork to the huge kitchen complete with a range cooker. Elsewhere, you'll find two wood burners and an open fire, so guests will never be anything other than toasty. Plus, there's a range of vintage beds in the sleeping quarters, which bring a dash of aristocratic glamour to your slumber.

Surrounding the property are some large grounds with stables and English village life awaits just beyond the boundaries, with Dorney Common and the home of the London 2012 Olympics rowing events, Dorney Lake, only eight minutes' walk away. If you want to work up a hunger beforehand, there are some pretty walking routes running alongside the River Thames, which can be reached in about twenty minutes from the home, plus a pub and bakery taking barely two minutes' walk.

A Day at the Regatta

A fifteen-minute stroll from the shop-lined High Street, you'll find Windsor Castle beyond – a must-see fortress for royal family fans. Fancy afternoon tea at a nearby racecourse? Or, how about exploring the Tudor grounds of Eton College? With free parking, this upstairs apartment promises easy access to all of that and more. Books and games are waiting in the colourful living room, and there's a handy workspace in the bedroom too. While six guests are welcome, you'll have to draw straws for seats at the dining table.

Pink Slice

This Eclectic Hidden Cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The cottage is warm and inviting, with dark wood flooring, light soft furnishings, and original antique pieces. The property is located in a quiet, gorgeous setting, and guests have full access to the entire home and the gorgeous walled garden. You can also book the other cottage out for family or friends gatherings.

The Eclectic Hidden Cottage

This family home caught our eye not just because it's well-located for exploring nearby Windsor – we also like that it's got more than enough space for everyone in your group. The annex is ideal if you've got teens who might want time to themselves, while younger kids will love the bunk beds in the main house. And for the adults, you'll find two village pubs perfect for those lazy Sundays just a short walk away. Further afield, you've got Legoland, Ascot, Windsor and more.
