This rustic barn conversion is a delightful place to stay in the Essex countryside. It has been lovingly restored, and retains its original wooden beams, which give the home a traditional, cottage-like feel. There are public footpaths nearby, meaning you’ll be able to make the most of exploring the surrounding countryside. After a busy day hiking, kick back on the plump sofas with a drink in hand, and warm up in front of the wood burner. During the day, the huge garden is the perfect spot to play games as a group, before cooking up a hearty meal on the Weber barbecue, to enjoy on the outdoor seating.

Butterfly Barn

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 

If you’re in search of a fresh and modern family home, this is a great solution. You’ll find an abundance of space across the open-plan living room to relax and spend quality time together. Three of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms for optimum privacy and there’s a home office for remote workers. Plus, there’s a garden and a terrace for warm weather drinks and alfresco dining. You’ll also find this is a fantastic base for exploring Surrey. From here, it’s just a short drive to Cobham High Street and Oxshott, while Hampton Court is also within easy reach. 


The Lily Rose

Hidden away next to ancient woodland in rural Essex, this cabin is a British getaway that overflows with quirk and charm.

Inside, classically styled furnishings, such as the tufted Chesterfield, oak dining table and the four-poster bed that's come straight out of a fairytale, rub shoulders with the eclectic animal portraits that dot the wall, the antler chandelier and antique-style gramophone — which actually works in case you're in the mood for a boogie. The copper rolltop bathtub that lies just next to the bed is another decadent touch that we can't help but salute.

The home's exterior is full of pleasant surprises, too. When the weather's warm enough — and even when it's not — you can sit out in the home's hot tub, before drying off on one of the egg chairs next to the roaring fire pit. It's possible to hear the sounds of wildlife from the neighbouring forest, as well as the occasional roar from Colchester Zoo, which is less than ten minutes' drive from the home.

Elsewhere in the local area, the huge Abberton Reservoir takes five minutes to reach in the car and offers spectacular birdwatching opportunities. The local village of Layer de la Haye, with its pair of pubs and farm shop, is a ten-minute walk away, too.

Kooky Cabin

Bright, contemporary, and thoughtfully finished, this lovely two-bedroom terrace home has a great location just off St. Albans High Street – so you'll find yourself ideally placed for shopping, eating out, and getting to grips with the local nightlife. There are some great hidden arty districts within the city, as well as plenty of opportunity to indulge in some retail therapy, or simply stroll through the town's quaint streets and pay a visit to the striking Clocktower or the imposing Cathedral and the imposing. The home itself feels homely inviting, while the outdoor patio provides a nice place to sit back with a beer or a glass of wine as the day winds to a close.

Notes of Sage

This enchanting home is perfect for large family groups. The home is split between the main house – which sleeps ten – and a cosy cottage for two, ideal for a couple seeking a touch more privacy. There are plenty of quiet corners for moments of peace on this 15th-century estate, with excellent walks to enjoy right from your front door – your four-legged friends will love it here. The heated swimming pool and tennis court mean there’s lots to keep little ones entertained, too. 

Charing Charm

Whether you’re visiting Cambridge for business or pleasure, this place makes for a comfortable home-from-home. There’s a desk for remote working and a paved garden for alfresco cups of tea, not to mention it’s ideally located – indie boutiques, restaurants and cafes are all within walking distance. It’ll take around fifteen minutes to stroll into the heart of town but if you need to take a trip out of the city, Cambridge train station is a five-minute drive away.

Time for Heroes

Close to transport links, this home is in an ideal location to accommodate both business and recreational trips, with flair. We always find it’s the little details that make the most difference, and that rings true here in the trim of the rich velvet sofa, the bright pop of pink dining chairs, the choice of wallpaper, and the sense of calm the green plants bring to the space. 

Deal with business calls from the small desk, but don’t forget to make time for coffee in between Zoom calls. Take business meetings on the green at the golf course nearby, or meet for drinks at one of the local watering holes. 

Once you’ve put the laptop away, enjoy dining with a view of the city below, or venture out for a pub dinner – preferably fish and chips or a meaty pie with a generous helping of mash and gravy. Theatre enthusiasts find themselves seven minutes away from Towngate where you can enjoy a show or simply visit the cafe for a well-deserved slice of decadent cake. 

Velvet & Pink

This one-of-a-kind barn conversion definitely has the wow factor. With an ancient shell, but an interior straight out of a contemporary design magazine, it’s no wonder it was featured in the Times’ Best Holiday Houses for Groups in Britain in 2018. The heart of the home is the enormous open-plan living area, with its soaring ceilings and wall of glass. We can imagine some really special meals here. There are six bedrooms, most of which have splendid views over rolling fields, and the hot tub in the lower ground bedroom is a real touch. Pour a glass of something cold and relax on the patio while the younger guests run wild in the large garden (just over an acre) or a stroll into the village. Chelsworth is basically an open-air history museum, with wattle and daub houses that are mostly unchanged since the 17th Century, and a country pub for that delicious post-walk pint.

The Old Barn

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

Rejuvenate with panoramic sea views every day at this beachfront hideout perched along one of Sandgate’s most sought-after private roads. Boasting direct access to a quiet and secluded stretch of beach, and yet just a 4-minute drive (or thirty-three minutes on foot) from the bustling seaside town of Folkestone, it’s hard to imagine a better location. Wake up with invigorating strolls along the nearby coastal paths. Rustle up a picnic for the beach, or head into Sandgate for a dose of seaside nostalgia with fish and chips and lashings of ice cream. When it’s time for a spot of shopping and culture, mosey along to the cobbled streets of Folkstone, where you’ll find bustling restaurants, gastropubs, and the thriving artist quarter. Back at home, maritime curiosities bring coastal charm, while a dramatic mural painted by Kent artist Oliver Trowell brings drama and a dash of colour to the space. After busy days exploring the Kent coast, soak weary legs in the Jacuzzi bathtub. Then pad out onto the south-easterly facing terrace, fire up the barbecue and nestle down in the charming pergola. It’s your front-row seat to watch the glowing setting sun.
