Tucked in the woods just outside the village of Cranleigh, this beautiful home welcomes you to a rural retreat at the base of the Surrey Hills.

Located on the grounds of a home that once belonged to an Arborist, this charming Annexe has been thoughtfully designed to fill your stay with luxurious comfort. And just like the natural beauty of its surroundings, there’s an uplifting quality to this space – it’s the kind of home that makes you want to unpack your bags and settle in. 

From cosy mornings with a coffee on the sofa to energising workouts in the gym, there’s everything you could need here to feel rejuvenated. Days can be spent exploring the beautiful gardens, meeting the resident chickens and following one of the hiking trails into the Surrey countryside. The lovely village of Cranleigh is within walking distance and has all the amenities you could need. 

With your bags full of fresh local produce, you’ll love coming home to this sanctuary in the trees. Put on a playlist, light up the barbecue and enjoy the magic of this unique setting. 

The Song Bird

Set on the clifftop in Peacehaven, this bright family home makes the most of its direct ocean views. The living and dining space is full of natural light, with a modern kitchen set up for easy meals at home. There’s plenty of room to relax, whether it’s gathering on the L-shaped sofa or enjoying dinner together. Outside, free street parking makes things simple, while local shops, pubs and restaurants are just a short stroll away. Brighton, Eastbourne and historic Rottingdean are all easy to reach for day trips.

Coastal Quiet

Set within 2 acres of peaceful grounds, this home opens its doors to a refreshing countryside retreat. Filled with light and offering beautiful views, the rooms make it easy to relax, socialise and spend quality time together. There’s a cocktail bar, a wonderful dining area, an office for remote workers and exercise equipment for your morning workout. Outside, there’s a wild meadow, a large courtyard and a barbecue for alfresco dining. Private parking is available and it’s just a short drive to the South Downs National Park.


Flowers of Love

If it’s a relaxing, seaside getaway that you seek, you’ve hit the jackpot here. Simply step outside of your home and find yourself in front of the glittering south coast, breathing in the fresh sea air. It doesn’t get much more coastal than this. Here, you can start your days with invigorating walks along the beach, take early swims, or simply spend time by yourself on the pebbles.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and homely interior that’s been thoughtfully designed for you to feel at ease. There are subtle nods to the seaside surroundings, taking inspiration from the natural beauty, with earthy tones, blue hues, and atmospheric artwork. Not that you need reminding – the sparkly blue sea is in full view. 

If you’re not admiring the view with a cup of coffee or curled up in the conservatory with a good book, you’ll love spending your mornings in the sunny garden. Gather around the outdoor table for a hearty breakfast, letting the morning drift into the afternoon while you unwind on the sun loungers. 

If you get itchy feet, there are plenty of ways to fill your days. When you’re not relaxing on the beach, you can find a spot for surfing, paragliding, kite surfing, and more. West Sussex is full of fun watersport activities, or you can explore Selsey and the nearby towns on land. After a fun-filled day, be sure not to miss the sun dip into the English Channel at dusk. 

Channelling the Sea

Wake up beneath bright roof windows and oak-beamed ceilings, deep in the West Sussex countryside. Surrounded by greenery, this lovely farmhouse has heaps of charm and two Shetland ponies waiting to greet you. In the area, you'll find quaint pubs, rural vineyards, and the South Downs National Park.

Inside, the living area is packed with colour and comfort. Upstairs, you'll find stripped-back floorboards and antique furnishings. There's no denying that this home has been restored beautifully, but it's eco-friendly too. 

After strolling along the bridleway, bake a shepherd's pie in this vibrant kitchen and gather your family around the many-hued dining table. Feel free to rummage through the bookshelf and light the log burner, or see what's new on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

There's a barbecue on hand and spare wellies here too – so you can enjoy country life in all winds and weathers. Across the beloved courtyard, don't forget to challenge your loved ones to a match on the old Bonzini football table in the games room.

This is a place where you can reconnect with nature. Ponies are bred on this farm, so you might even be lucky enough to spot a foal. There isn't much light pollution around either, which means you can see starry skies on clear nights.

Hares & Haystacks

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. 



Mane Character

Looking for a British seaside stay? This might just be the ticket. Located just fifty yards from Camber Sands beach, this coastal home is perfect for beach-loving groups and families. Roll out of bed and enjoy a coffee in the private garden before walking the few steps to the beach. You can spend all day there, or you can hop in the car and visit coastal towns like Rye and Dungeness. In the evening, share a home-cooked meal in the large dining area, or pop back to the beach for some good old fish and chips.

Shell House

Since this Grade II listed mansion was nearly destroyed by a fire, it’s been thoughtfully remodelled. It now blends eclectic contemporary design with historic charm, resulting in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind home. It sits on the banks of the River Cuckmere on the edge of Alfriston, with a backdrop of the South Downs National Park. The views can be admired from the grand balcony, the upper dining terrace, and the cypress and olive tree-filled garden. This home has everything you could wish for, including a cellar bar, a hot tub, and a yoga and pilates gym with a sauna. At full occupancy, guests nine and ten will sleep on a daybed in the library – a maximum of eight guests might be more comfortable. 

South Downs Hideaway

This pretty holiday home sits in the centre of Westmeston, a village at the foot of the South Downs. It’s a great spot for walkers as the footpath directly outside leads straight to the Downs, and there are plenty of other local walks to enjoy. Beach-lovers need only drive thirty minutes to reach the south coast. The house itself retains much of its Victorian charm, having been lovingly restored. We love the garden and the cosy wood burner for chillier evenings. 

The Green Mill

Perhaps it's the palm trees, white architecture and glistening sea view, but there's something of the Balaerics to this address. However, consult the map and you'll find that you're actually looking at England's south coast.

It's fair to say that the main asset here is the aforementioned panorama, which can be appreciated from the balconies leading off from four of the five bedrooms, from the comfort of the hot tub or simply as you eat breakfast out on the terrace. As you would hope, this proximity to the English Channel means the beach is mere metres away and guests have direct access to the surf here.

The summer house in the garden with bi-fold doors is a novel addition and is a great place to enjoy the fruits of your labour from the barbecue. Back inside, there's a wealth of places to kick back and relax, as well as an impressive collection of sleek bathrooms for washing off the sand and sea salt.

As well as plenty of beaches to visit in the local area, the home's also a quarter of an hour's drive from the hillside town of Arundel and less than half an hour in the car from Chicester Harbour AONB, just in case you fancy a spot of birdwatching.

Queen of Queens

They say that first impressions are everything and we defy anybody not to be wowed upon laying eyes upon this Georgian property close to the West Sussex – the handsome brickwork, large sash windows and manicured front garden give off a real air of grandeur.

We're happy to report that this attention to appearance continues inside. The design treads the fine balance between heritage and modernity rather adroitly, with antique furnishings and decorative items sitting quite happily alongside more contemporary artworks and a smart kitchen. As well as looking the part, you won't struggle to get cosy in the pair of living rooms, complete with shelves packed full of books, a fireplace and a grand piano next to the bay window.

Nor will there be any difficulty in finding somewhere to unwind in the large garden during bursts of warm weather. Little ones will love bouncing about on the trampoline, while there's a large alfresco table that is the perfect setting for an alfresco dinner party – as well as a barbecue to help make that a reality.

If you're ever in need of ingredients, there's a farm shop just next door to the home. You don't have to go far to find distractions, either. The seaside village of Selsey is just over five minutes' drive away and there's a great choice of beaches in the local area, including West Wittering about twenty minutes away in the car. The cathedral city of Chichester takes a similar amount of time northwards, too.

Dashing Gentleman

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.
