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.

Sunflower Whisperings

This bright and modern apartment situated in the heart of Welwyn Garden City is an ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller visiting this lovely part of the country – whether for business or simply to enjoy the many gorgeous sights on offer. 

Comfort and tranquillity are the name of the game here – enter to be greeted by a stylish open-plan living room, boasting a plush sofa which invites you to kick off your shoes and enjoy a relaxed evening of movies. You’ll be able to rustle up quick and delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen area and the elegant dining table is a perfect place for those candlelit suppers for two. 

Nighttime will bring sweet dreams and restful sleep, courtesy of the luxurious bedroom with its soft bed and exquisite linen. You may also want to treat yourself to an indulgent bubble bath in the sleek bathroom. Wake up refreshed and start your day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Outside your front door you’ll find yourself in a prime location, just steps away from the iconic Parkway Fountain and within easy walking distance from numerous shops and restaurants. The train station with trains leaving regularly for London is also a mere twelve-minute walk away. 

Parkway Fountain 

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

This classic home in the centre of Watford is perfect for families, groups, and business travellers. Warner Studio Bros Tour is only a ten-minute drive away, and a train will take you from the nearby station to central London in around half an hour. There's an open plan kitchen, a garden with outdoor seating and thoughtful family-friendly touches like a cot, highchair and toys. After a day of countryside walks or immersing yourself in movie magic, relax with a home-cooked meal in this welcoming family home.


Watford Magic

This beautiful award winning cottage has romantic country getaway written all over it. There are lots of cute touches in the design, like the vintage suitcase repurposed as a coffee table and the gold birds on the wall, but what's perhaps most impressive is the sheer amount of space at your disposal. The long kitchen has plenty of surface space for rustling up a hearty supper, while the shower cabin is easily big enough for two. Out the front door, there are plenty of spaces to sit outside during mild spring mornings, including an enclosed private garden which is dog friendly (the property accepts dogs). There are stunning views overlooking The Ridgeway National Trail from the cottage and you can follow this historic route through the Chiltern chalk hills. The glorious city of Oxford is just thirty-five minutes away by car and there are plenty of National Trust properties like Waddesdon and Hughenden Manor to visit close by.

Copper Beech

Just a five-minute walk from the picture-perfect village of Shere in the Surrey Hills, this place is a much-loved family home. Set in five acres of private grounds, with views across the rolling hills, it's bound to be a hit with lovers of the great outdoors, with excellent hiking and cycling routes from your door. A substantial period house approached via a sweeping drive, it's a slice of rural living on a grand scale – there's everything from an outdoor pool and tennis court to a vast vegetable garden and free-range hens. And children will love the sunken trampoline.

Inside, elegant styling, country furnishings and eclectic artwork blend to create a lived-in, warm feeling. A beautiful living room and snug both feature working fireplaces and the kitchen is extremely well-equipped when it comes to cooking for a large group (yes, there really are two dishwashers). You can even cook alfresco meals down at the pool house. But its most impressive room has to be the orangery, where a long dining table is the star of the show, against a backdrop of vast windows and doors with spectacular views.

Perfect for special gatherings, and with a new yoga studio, it's also a flexible space with an additional cottage and a garden studio that can be rented alongside it. And when you're not entertaining, the village, with its tea shop and pretty church, is just a stroll through the fields – one of the most scenic villages in England, you may recognise it as one of the locations where the movie The Holiday was filmed.

Green on My Mind

If you’re visiting Welwyn Garden City as a couple or a solo traveller – be it for business or simply to enjoy this lovely part of the country – this bright and modern apartment located right in the heart of town is an ideal base for you. 

As soon as you enter, you’ll be greeted by a warm and cosy open-plan living room, with a large comfy sofa inviting you to settle in for a snuggly evening of movies and relaxation. Whip up quick and delicious meals in the sparkling and well-equipped kitchen and share them at the elegant dining table. If you’d rather opt for an evening out, you’ll find plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. 

For a night of restful sleep head over to the plush bedroom, featuring a soft and luxurious bed. You can also enjoy a moment of self-indulgence with a bubble bath in the sleek bathroom. Wake up restored and welcome the new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. 

Outside you’ll find yourself in a prime location, with the iconic Parkway Fountain on your doorstep and the train station with regular services to Central London a mere twelve-minute walk away. 

Garden Suburb Pad  

Sitting within a 10 acre private estate, this home is the perfect spot for entertaining. From the outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis court and sauna to the pool house and bar, you’ll find everything you could need for fun-filled gatherings. There are also two games rooms, a cinema room and all the essentials you could need to settle in and make it your own. You’ll find five cosy bedrooms in the main house, while the self-contained annexe sleeps four guests – perfect for those seeking a little extra privacy. Parking is available and it’s just a short drive to Watford and Epping Forest. 


Heart of Home

Dating back to the 1800s, this Grade II-listed barn is now a comfortable home-from-home. Underfloor heating keeps toes warm for visits during the cooler months, and the indoor climbing wall and gym equipment will keep active types occupied. When the sun does shine, there’s a dining table and chairs on the decking for alfresco lunches. The Chiltern Hills are on the doorstep, and the Black Lion pub is a fifteen-minute walk away. If you’d like to swap the countryside for some hustle and bustle, High Wycombe is reached in less than twenty minutes by car.


Chilterns Charm

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.



Forgotten Fields

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.
