This old dairy, set on the Burghley Estate, is a peaceful getaway for large groups and makes a pretty picture for small celebrations. Throughout the restoration of the dairy and its conversion into cottages, an emphasis remained on the history of this building, and plenty of the original features remain to make this a charming and comfortable stay. With two wings, it also grants everyone plenty of space, though the mezzanine bedrooms can only be accessed through several ground-floor rooms, which might not feel the most private. Still, it's a beautiful space, and the estate is within the Capability Brown Parkland, first landscaped in the early 1700s and still as lush and inviting, perfect for walks with the dogs.

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.

With more than enough room to comfortably accommodate six guests, this gorgeous barn conversion in the Bedfordshire countryside is sure to wow even the most selective of guests. From the moment you step inside, you'll be wowed by soaring double-height ceilings, vast windows looking out over the gardens, plus a beautiful blue kitchen that will get your culinary juices flowing.

Elsewhere, the ground floor offers a sociable seating area set around a woodburning stove, a separate snug for when you want some time to yourself, plus a bedroom with direct access to the outdoors. Make your way upstairs, and you'll uncover a further two master bedrooms with en-suites and far-reaching vistas over the surrounding landscape.

Step out through the chic Crittal-style doors to discover a beautifully manicured garden with plenty of outdoor seating for dining and relaxing. Make the most of the west-facing garden and jump in the hot tub for a soothing soak as the sun dips below the horizon.

Away from this spectacular home, the charming university city of Cambridge is under an hour's drive away. We'd suggest a self-guided tour of the colleges before heading downriver on a punt. And while you can do this on your own, we've seen too many people fall in, so we'd suggest hiring a pro punter to help you navigate the water. Nearby, Grafham Water offers more opportunities to get out on the water, either at the sailing club or the giant inflatable water park.

Escape for a breath of fresh country air and bring your friends and family members along with you to this mid-century-modern house with its own luxury spa. Balancing mod-con comforts with bucolic interiors, we wouldn’t blame you if you never left this cosy home. Inside, guests will find plenty of soft furnishings, chic decor, uplifting pops of colour and a vintage vinyl player, creating a sociable and playful living space to enjoy each other's company. You'll also notice the calming green views over the village pond and rolling hills throughout the home. Beckoning you to the great outdoors, step into the large back garden – complete with an alfresco dining table, an expansive lawn and a variety of lush plants. If you’re travelling with children, they’ll be particularly delighted by the village playground and the feeding of the ducks in the pond. But the real highlight of this home is the luxury spa area with a bubbling hot tub and steam shower for the ultimate rest and relaxation. If you can peel yourself away from the tub, and decide to explore the beautiful natural surroundings, there are plenty of lovely county walks and footpaths nearby. Plus, you're less a forty-five-minute drive from the Norfolk Coast and its sandy beaches as well as the Royal Sandringham Estate, King's Lynn and plenty of other hidden gems.

In the heart of Stamford, a lantern lights the doorway of this 300-year-old townhouse. The owners have spent a year carefully renovating this home, maintaining the classic stonework outside, and creating a sophisticated space filled with colour inside. A wood-burning stove tucked into the original stone wall of the living room adds a touch of cottage cosiness, while midnight blue wall panelling and an aquamarine sofa are solidly 21st-century. The clash of eras continues in the custom-made kitchen where dark blue cupboards filled with sleek black crockery sit against lime-green walls, and the wooden beams of the low ceiling wouldn’t be out of place in an 18th-century country kitchen. Out the back door, a decked, courtyard-style garden is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink as stings of lights twinkle above. It’s just a few steps to Stamford High Street, where there are plenty of shops, cafés and delis to choose from.

Fenced Property

An interesting fact about this former stable block is that in the same year it was completed — 1881 — the architect behind the design, Alfred Waterhouse, also finished work on the National History Museum. Admittedly, this building in the Norfolk village of Crimplesham is slightly less spectacular than the London museum, but there are still double-height ceilings and a large staircase upon entrance for a touch of grandeur. There have been a lot of changes in the interior since the late nineteenth century, but the wholesale modernisation feels in keeping with the country location, especially in the large wood-panelled kitchen, the comfy living room complete with a roaring fireplace and the games room that's accessible through a secret bookcase. There's an enclosed garden with alfresco seating and a barbecue, but there's plenty more to see and do outside in the local area. The historical town of Ely takes just under half an hour to reach in the car, while the coast at Hunstanton can be reached in forty minutes' drive. Closer to home, the quaint town of Downham Market is an hour away on foot.

Pull up the drawbridge and take over this regal Norfolk castle fringing Middleton – there's room for all thirty of you to pile in here. Look past those grand turrets, countless drawing rooms, and heirloom antiques dating back to 1450, and this is a surprisingly family-friendly retreat. There's table tennis and lawn games, and if the weather doesn't buck up, rounds of hide and seek inside will keep everyone busy. Perfect for a multi-generational stay with fifteen castle bedrooms. At night, think lavish dinner parties and billiards to keep the night flowing. Prepare to make an entrance at this regal castle estate.

Lavender Luxe Barn

By the banks of the River Great Ouse, you’ll find leafy, tree-lined walking trails, serene woodlands, and a fabulous studio cottage. A five-mile drive from the ancient cathedral city of Ely, and just over thirteen to the cobbled streets of Cambridge, this home offers a country retreat with easy access to some of Cambridgeshire’s most beautiful built-up areas. In contrast to the rural and rugged surroundings, the interiors of this cottage are fresh, modern, and have a certain understated elegance. In the vast, open-plan living space, black metal beams support the vaulted ceiling. Scandi-style furniture beckons you in to relax in the lounge area, while industrial-style hanging bulbs usher you towards the kitchen island to prepare a rustic, country meal. While you’ve got the entire countryside to explore, you’ve also got a private garden with a cute dining set on the patio. Light up the barbecue and grill something fresh for supper. And after the stars come out, we think this is the perfect spot to pop a bottle of chilled champagne and say cheers to country living.

Perched beside the River Great Ouse, this country cottage is a breath of fresh air waiting to be experienced just 4 miles away from the small town of Ely. A new eco-build, bursting with style and character, the interiors present a soothing Nordic palette with bright pops of colour. Think Scandi-style furniture, bright decorative features and tons of open space. The kitchen, living room and dining space is undoubtedly the hub of the house and where the whole group can come together for home-cooked meals in and cosy moments of relaxation by the log burner. Order an Ocado, Sainsbury’s or Tesco delivery directly to the cottage in time for your day of arrival, so that the fridge is well-stocked from day one. Grab a book and snuggle up, following an afternoon of hiking and exploring the local countryside – you'll be nestled in an enviable rural location here with scenic views across the Fenland countryside. It goes without saying that the outdoorsy type will fall truly in love with this address as guests will have access to fishing, cycling, canoeing, walking and bird-watching – all in less than a twenty-minute drive away. If you're looking for a countryside retreat for a larger group – it's worth knowing that the host also has three other cottages on-site which in total can sleep up to sixteen guests. 


Riverside Bungalow

Piano

Rustic and homespun, this quaint home is perfect for large families or groups of friends. It's set in the sleepy village of Baston, a picturesque stretch of greenery and welcoming pubs. 

Built in the 1750's yet installed with modern fittings, it expertly blends a traditional vibe with contemporary designs. Think low-hanging wooden beams next to high-quality kitchen equipment. 

In the winter or autumn months, the living room warms up with the heat of the fireplace, creating a cosy haven to spend your evenings. When the sun shines on the stone exterior, sit out on the dreamy garden table next to the water. Idyllic and peaceful, it's a serene spot to tuck into breakfast or just sit with a glass of wine. 

If you fancy heading out of the home, Baston is formed by scenic walking trails along the river. If you're taking your dog, they'll love the open green spaces and woodland areas.

For the days where you fancy some urban comforts, Peterborough and Stamford are just a short drive away. Stamford is a postcard-picture town – cobbled streets are lined with homely pubs and authentic cafes. Spend a day perusing the shops, exploring the market and sipping a beer in the pub garden.

Grain Of Water

At the sun-soaked spaces of Living Daylights, you can expect high spirits throughout your stay. To start your day, head to the large terrace. Gulp down your breakfast in the crisp morning breeze. There are plenty of historical landmarks, restaurants and architectural wonders dotting the city. No matter what you set your sights on, keep aside a few hours for a trip to admire the collection at Higgins Bedford, that's just over a kilometre away. Footsteps away from your home, you have the perfect park for a chilled out picnic. And for day trips, Milton Keynes is about thirty kilometres away. One  can never be too tired of packed days, especially with the plush bedding at this home.

Living Daylights

Built back in the mid-nineteenth century, this Grade-II listed house in Stamford is a real looker from the outside, thanks to its slate roof, coursed stone walls and a white clock face at the very top of the property. The interior is just as handsome, although perhaps a little more modern than might be anticipated. Black leather furnishings and stark white walls are a chic combination in the dual-aspect living area, as is the wood-panelled kitchen and the glass dining room table. Around the back of the house, there's a small patio area with seating so you can make the most of bursts of bright weather. There are plenty of rural attractions around these parts if you visit during the warmer seasons. The sixteenth-century manor, Burghley House, and the adjacent parkland can be reached in twelve minutes by car, while Rutland Water Nature Reserve takes around eighteen.

Time of Your Life

This charming cottage is located in the heart of the beautiful Northumberland countryside. The property has been tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay for guests. The open-plan living space is light and airy, with a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge area with a wood-burning stove, and a dining area perfect for enjoying meals with loved ones. There are three bedrooms, all with en-suite, making it ideal for couples or groups of friends. Outside, guests can enjoy their own private patio area, complete with garden furniture and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining in the summer months. The surrounding hamlet also offers beautiful shared gardens, 3 acres of mainly lawned grounds to relax in, an enclosed area just for dogs to run off the lead, and use of a tennis court by arrangement. 

Cottage on the Heath

Looking for a different sort of escape? This 1750s mill is nestled in the Lincolnshire countryside, boasting green views, a private tennis court, and riverside decking for post-birdwatching barbecues. Your dogs are welcome to join you, but tall guests must take care not to bump their heads on the historic beams and low ceilings. While scenic walks are aplenty, a car is necessary to get around. We recommend the seven-mile drive to Stamford for trips to Burghley Hall and the International Horse Trials.

The Old Hall

Surrounded by over 500 acres of woodland, lakes and ponds, this Grade II-listed farmhouse makes a big impression. Rooms are spacious and comfortably modern, though taller guests might want to watch their heads on some of the sloping ceilings. The manicured garden stretches around the outdoor seating, making it easy for parents to supervise kids playing on the lawn whilst they enjoy a sunset drink. There's also a tennis court, gym, squash court, play set, and table tennis to keep everyone busy, but the lake is our favourite. With a jetty and small rowing boat, you can get out on the water whenever you need a peaceful moment. 

Suffolk's Delight

There's something undeniably idyllic about this cottage's location. Sitting alone within acres of Bedfordshire countryside, the River Great Ouse runs alongside the property. You can sit and listen to the peaceful sounds or spot the wildlife that calls the stretch of water home from the outdoor deck, which even has a jetty. If you want to add a touch of decadence, it's also possible to hire a private hot tub and enjoy the scenery surrounded by bubbles.

Heading inside the front door, you'll see that there's a distinctly rustic feel to the interior, particularly the brick flooring and inglenook fireplace holding a log burner. However, you'll also be happy to hear that the home was fully refurbished in 2021, which you can certainly see in the modern blue kitchen and cosy white bedrooms.

When the weather's on your side, there are plenty of walks to embark upon within Turvey Estate and the village itself — along with its pair of pubs, a butchers shop and a park — can be reached in just over a quarter of an hour on foot.

The building in which this apartment sits has had many functions in its near-two-century history — straw hat factory, corn merchants and estate agents to name a few. Today, however, you'll find a gloriously contemporary home that'll help you have an exemplary stay in Dunstable.

As you look around for the first time, you'll feel instantly at peace, something to do with the soothing greys used throughout. In the living room, a pair of purple sofas, parquet flooring and the chandelier make for a classy space in which to unwind, while the sleek corner kitchen is plenty big enough for cooking up special dinners.

As is the case with many period properties, there's an inordinate amount of natural light from the tall (triple glazed) windows — what else were you to do before the widespread introduction of electric lighting? — but you can also head down to the building's communal courtyard for your fix of Vitamin D, too. There's seating and a table, as well as free Pashley Cycle hire for the duration of your stay.

In local Dunstable, there are enough restaurants and cafes to keep you going, and there's a wealth of attractions that are easily reached nearby. London is only an hour away by train, but slightly closer to home, the Chiltern Hills AONB is rich with walking routes and historic sites — Ashridge Estate is twenty minutes' drive, for instance.

Hang on to Your Hat

Private Dryer

With a prime position on Dunstable's High Street, this apartment in a 19th-century building is a peaceful enclave away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Step inside and you're greeted by an interior dominated by cleansing shades of white and muted greys, with only the odd houseplant and piece of artwork adding a little colour and character. Stylish parquet flooring sits underfoot, while the glossy kitchen is a triumph of minimalist design. 

The home gets plenty of natural light from the tall triple glazed windows on either side of the space, but if you want to feel the sunshine on your skin, you also have the option of heading out to the building's communal courtyard, which has seating and a table, plus free cycle hire for you to explore.

Being right in the centre of town, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants lying nearby in case you're not in the mood to cook. Even though it's possible to get into London in around an hour on the train, there's a wealth of beautiful countryside around the home, too — Dunstable Downs and Whipsnade Estate are only five minutes' drive, for example.

Mister Modern

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Step into this cosy and colourful Hertfordshire home, and out of the busy to-do of everyday life. Peacefully appointed, to stay here is to find a real sense of tranquillity from the moment you arrive. 

Wake up to serene green views from your Juliet balcony. Light pours in through the balcony doors in both the bedroom and the living space that making for a bright and uplifting interior. Lovingly decorated with tasteful artwork, antique adornments and curated flowers, it's the type of place in which you'll quickly feel at home. 

Sit down for lunch in the sunny and ever-so-charming dining area by the window – complete with a sleek white kitchen for plating up your home-cooking perfection. 

Walk into St Albans town centre for independent book and clothing shops, a surplus of quaint cafes and elegant eateries. If you're looking for a fun family day out, the stately Tudor home and gardens of Knebworth House are just a thirty-minute drive away, while you can reach London's glittering West End in under an hour.
