This charming cottage is on the edge of Matfield, a village with two pubs and a great setting-off point for countryside walks. This cosy abode is ideal for those wanting to explore the Kent and Sussex countryside, as well as the local wine farms. Hastings and the coast are only a forty-five-minute drive, too. The cottage has plenty of room, with a double sofa bed in the summer room for those wanting to spread out. We love the beautiful enclosed garden and patio, where you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the grounds of a 50-acre estate, this detached oast house overlooks fields and paddocks from its southwest-facing terrace and lawned garden. You may spot the local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls. If you have children with you, though, a fenced-off pond is nearby, so they'll need to be supervised. Inside, there's a log burner for cosy nights in and a charming circular main bedroom. It would be tempting to spend all your time here, wouldn't it? But that would be a shame as Bewl Water is a ten-minute stroll away, pretty Tunbridge Wells is a twenty-minute drive, and Camber Sands is a forty-minute ride.

Set amongst a Medieval farmstead, this gorgeous barn conversion in the heart of the Sussex Weald is the perfect escape. Relax on your private, south-facing terrace, spot the local wildlife, or enjoy an alfresco lunch.

Inside, your hosts have done a fabulous job restoring this home whilst maintaining its original integrity. We love the exposed old brick walls and the lofty vaulted ceilings in the huge open-plan living space. When the Sussex evenings turn chilly, light the log burner, cosy up on the feather-filled sofa and enjoy a movie on the 65 inch Smart TV. Our absolute favourite feature here, though, is the sumptuous bedroom with its dramatic, dark panelled walls and super comfy natural linens.

Ideally located and close to the vibrant towns and picturesque villages of Sussex and the South Downs, this is the perfect rural retreat for those wanting to explore all that the area has to offer.

The Long Barn

Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Kent, this little cottage provides the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape. From here, you can follow hiking trails straight from the door and you’ll find the village of Brenchley is just a short stroll away. Wherever the day takes you, this home has all the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. The rooms are simple, family-friendly and well-suited to couples travelling with pets. It’s worth noting the grounds are shared with the neighbouring home, but it still retains a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. 

Rustic Sanctuary 

Wellness & Fitness

Free Parking On Street

A unique way to experience Kent, this glamping pod overlooks 'the Garden of England'. With two beds – one positioned towards countryside views and the other found in the mezzanine above – this could work for four, but it's perfect for a romantic weekend away. Surrounded by woodland, there's ample opportunity for scenic walks. That's when you aren't soaking in the hot tub. The decked seating area is also ideal for alfresco meals or sunset drinks, with only nature and wildlife for company. Because of the bed set-up, it isn't the most private space, but it'll do for a small family.  

Escape to Eden

Vacuum Cleaner

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

This home offers a rural location and modern interiors, and we're all for it. The terrace, complete with a fire pit, is perfect for alfresco dining as the little ones play on the grass – it overlooks the Kent countryside, too. Indoors, the open-plan living area has more than enough space for four, so you definitely won't feel on top of each other here. Looking to explore? The village of Cowden is a short drive away, as is Tunbridge Wells, Penshurst Place, and Hever Castle. London Bridge is less than an hour by train, too – ideal for day trips to the capital.

Kentish Charm

Pear and apple orchards surround this scenic home in the Kent countryside. The garden is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of cider come summertime, while the living room boasts a fireplace ideal for chilly nights. Although two guests could sleep on a sofa bed here, we think this home is best suited for a couple. Keen to explore Kent? You'll find plenty to see and do within driving distance. Take your pick between visiting historic castles, shopping in Royal Tunbridge Wells, or long walks in the High Weald AONB with your four-legged friend.

Whether you’re in search of a relaxing escape or a fun-filled family getaway, this home delivers a great solution. Located on a private estate with beautiful views across the Kent countryside, you’ll find elegant rooms, a peaceful garden and a games room. There is also a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, flexible sleeping arrangements (including a children’s room) and plenty of outdoor space to relax and unwind. From here, follow hiking trails through nearby Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, or spend a day in Brighton – just an hour’s drive away.

You’ll find this traditional family home sitting peacefully between Kent and East Sussex. Outside, there’s a private garden with a large deck and a plunge pond for icy cold dips. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on request and the rooms are great for socialising, stretching out and catching up on work. Housekeeping can be arranged by your host and you’ll find everything you could need within easy reach. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the local pub, restaurants and the nearest shop. 


The Rosie 

This home is all about slowing down and switching off. Whether you’re sipping something refreshing in the lakeside garden or heading out to explore nearby walking trails and heritage sites, this is an easy-going base for a peaceful countryside break. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with enough space for everyone to do their own thing. While it’s designed with comfort in mind rather than high design, the home is warm, functional and full of simple pleasures. Fancy a day out? Bodiam Castle, scenic woodland walks and cosy country pubs are all within a short drive.

It's hard to believe that this home is not much more than twenty miles away from London. For a start, beautiful Kent countryside surrounds the property and you can fill your days with dragonfly-spotting, fruit-picking or wild-swimming in the river at the end of the garden.

The interior feels particularly rustic too, from the wooden ceiling beams and the plethora of exposed brickwork to the inglenook fireplace. That being said, there are all the modern comforts you could want here. Above the fireplace, a projection screen comes down for movie nights, while there are also tubs in all the bathrooms so you can start the day off at a super-slow pace.

The nearest village, Edenbridge, can be reached in six minutes' drive and is full of charming distractions, including a monthly farmer's market, a collection of medieval buildings and the Eden Valley Museum. Hever Castle only takes twelve minutes by car too and sits on the edge of the High Weald AONB.

This whimsical and romantic home in Kent makes the perfect setting for a quintessential countryside stay. 

Set within a wild yet thoughtfully curated garden, this converted barn is filled with character and charm. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of tradition that invites you to pause and soak in the atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of countryside life. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room or cooking in the kitchen, there’s a sense of warmth and comfort that flows throughout this home. 

Spend your days exploring the surrounding countryside. There are wonderful walking trails from the door, as well as local pubs, cafes and shops in Westerham village – only thirteen–minutes away. History lovers will find themselves drawn to Chartwell House – the former home of Winston Churchill is a six–minute drive away. 

After a day in the fresh air, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to relax in the roll-top bath. Warm summer evenings can be spent in the beautiful garden, enjoying the playful sweetness of this setting. And on cooler nights, light up the wood-burning fire and share a cosy evening in traditional English style. 

The Rose in Bloom

Stay near the enchanted Ashdown Forest (fictional home of Winnie the Pooh) when you check in to this cosy house. Great for a family break or group getaway, there’s lots of space to make yourself comfortable (although if ten of you are staying, two will sleep on a sofa bed). The kitchen has everything you need to cater for a crowd, but with village pubs serving food nearby, you can easily take a break from cooking. Handily, this home is half an hour from London Gatwick Airport too, making it a convenient place to stay before or after a flight. And with National Trust homes and even the coast within day trip distance, this is a great base for seeing more of the South of England.

 The Hundred Acre Wood

Balcony / Patio

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

Swimming Pool

Balcony

While the grand spaces and classically decorated rooms of this historic estate in the rolling East Sussex landscape speak for themselves, we can come up with a few more reasons to choose to live your next country escape as the lord or lady of this manor. Expansive views of quintessential English meadows will greet you all year round, though in spring, a sea of bluebells in the surrounding woods makes it an even more attractive proposition. In summer, a heated pool and tennis court provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. An autumn escape in East Sussex is all about long country walks – admiring the changing colours of nature – followed by a visit to a centuries-old pub. A group planning a winter escape will find refuge in the manor's many cosy corners, and can look forward to evenings of chatter by open fires and a lavish meals in the elegant 
wood-panelled dining room. Just make sure to nominate the group's chef and grand piano player in advance.

Nestled on the High Weald, this mediaeval manor house promises fun for all the family – or a large group of friends – on the Kent and Sussex border. Sure, if you’re a large group, a fair number of guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, but with spacious rooms, we don’t think it’ll be a problem. Step outside and you’ll find extensive grounds and a heated pool, shared with the other two homes on-site, perfect for spending time in the great outdoors. Able to tear yourself away from your country piece of paradise? We recommend a visit to Penshurst Place, Chiddingstone or Hever Castle, all a short drive away. 

Manor House Marvel

This converted Kent ragstone coach house has beautiful views across gardens, paddocks (with livestock), and farmland from the private patio. It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or family barbecue. Glass doors lead to the sunny, dine-in kitchen and the lounge is a cosy spot to cuddle up. The twin room connects to the main bedroom, so this place is best suited to a small family or a romantic getaway for two. Located within Stone Street, those that enjoy a walk can explore the local pubs and numerous National Trust properties in the area – Ightham Mote is just across the fields.


Folklore & Tradition

Safety Gates

Located on the grounds of a private estate, this renovated oast house provides the perfect setting for a restorative rural escape. Outside, you can relax in the private garden and follow hiking trails straight from the door. It’s also just a ten-minute drive to Sevenoaks and you’ll find many National Trust treasures within easy reach. Wherever the day takes you, this home welcomes you to enjoy cosy evenings by the woodburning fire and long soaks in the bath. Children’s amenities can be arranged on request, and your host can help organise sweet extras like wine tastings and massage treatments. 

Meadow Retreat

Luxury Toiletries

Driving up to this home, you’ll no doubt feel as though you’re entering your own version of Downton Abbey or Bridgerton – and once you step inside, it only gets grander. Wooden panel walls, classic fireplaces, beautiful chandeliers, and four poster beds add to the stately comfort of this quintessentially English manor house. Spend the morning nursing a cup of tea with breakfast, before retiring to one of the many rooms to find the most comfortable sofa – of which there are many – so you can spend a few hours getting lost in a Jane Austen novel. Afterwards walk the beautifully manicured grounds, and if you happen to reenact some of the scenes from Pride & Prejudice, we promise not to tell.  

Family trips can be spent puzzling together, or getting all hands on deck in the kitchen to prepare a feast fit for lords and ladies, whilst luxury hen and stag parties might choose to celebrate a different way. Regardless of why you came, once you experience the peaceful reprieve the manor has to offer, you won't want to leave. 

Surrey Hills Manor

This charming country house can be found on the village green of pretty Alfriston. It’s at the heart of the village, with views of the parish church – known as the Cathedral of the South Downs – and the National Trust property next door. There’s a hotel next door managed by the owners of the cottage – the hotel serves delicious food throughout the day, which comes in very handy after long hikes. 

The cottage has everything you might hope for from a break to the country. The living room is cosy and comfortable, with a fireplace to keep you warm when the weather turns colder. A huge bay window looks out over the village green so you can drink in the view as you sip your morning cuppa. 

The area is excellent for hikers, with Alfriston located at the eastern end of the South Downs Way. There are trails suitable for every length of walk, whether you want to amble around the countryside or hike all the way to Eastbourne. 

Eastbourne Beach is twenty-four minutes away, with its marvellous pier. Spend a day at the beach or pop there for fish and chips after admiring the views from Birling Gap.

The cottage is perfectly situated for a country break. Whether you want to spend your time enjoying the Great Outdoors or prefer to soak up the village atmosphere from the pub, you’ll love staying here. 


The Village Green

Safe

Seamlessly blending modern design, eco credentials and a nod to its past as a chapel, it’s not hard to see why this home caught our eye. With its cosy wood burner and peaceful, rural location, it’s impossible not to relax here. Nestled in the heart of Twitton, between the villages of Otford and Shoreham, you’ll find scenic walks aplenty in the local area, along with country pubs offering sustenance after you’ve burnt off a few calories hiking. Further afield, there are several National Trust properties worth visiting, or a vineyard within walking distance – there’s something for everyone here. 

Kentish Comfort

Step-Free Access

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

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 

Paid Parking On Street

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

Lift Access

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.

Herb Garden

Situated on a small family-run agricultural nursery, we think this luxury lodge is the perfect place to switch off and recharge. Not only is the location excellent – the idyllic South Downs are practically on your doorstep – but the attention to detail here is second-to-none. Rainfall showers and eco-friendly toiletries in the bathrooms, Netflix on the smart TVs and a panini maker in the kitchen are just a few of the things we love. The design is impeccable with blue velvet, dark greys and lots of wood. It's the perfect blend between rustic, country living and contemporary comforts, with chic furniture handmade by host Lucca. Speaking of, he'll leave a welcome hamper brimming with goodies for you to enjoy, and depending on the season, it'll contain fresh Italian fruit and veg grown on their farm. 

Days start and end here out on the deck, enjoying alfresco breakfasts in the sun and evening dips in the private hot tub. In between, set off and explore the local area – just walk out the front gates and you're on the National Trust South Downs footpath, leading towards Highdown Hill. A fourteen-minute walk away is the local pub, a few eateries and shops in Ferring, and it's only a five-minute drive to the beach. And with Worthing, Chichester and Brighton all less than an hour by car, you'll have plenty of options for adventures around West Sussex.

Dew on the Vine

Far from the madding crowd, this exquisite Georgian home is set deep within the South Downs National Park. The curious will be rewarded with a few welcome surprises on arrival. Outside in the established gardens, you'll find a vast pool area, complete with elegant terraces for dining and lounging, and your very own charming shepherd's hut. The kids will love to cosy up in here after splashing around in the pool before getting acquainted with the resident highland cattle, Edith and Morag, in the nearby field. Inside, the home's handsome proportions have been masterfully reworked for seamless, modern living, with a refined mix of antique and contemporary. Stretched out across three floors, there's plenty of space to all come together here. Relish long, lazy mealtimes in the light-filled orangery dining room, flowing through to the family room and kitchen. Crash out in the elegant drawing room, with deep sofas to sink into, a crackling fire, and a piano for the virtuosos amongst you, or put your feet up in the movie room. There are cosy nooks to hunt out too for some 'you time' – the study with storybook armchair and the obligatory wood burner has our vote. When the great outdoors finally calls, you'll find a world of unspoiled natural beauty awaits in the South Downs, with rambling walks right on your doorstep. Despite its secluded location, you're just five miles from the perfectly preserved market town of Petworth – lined with charming cafes, classic pubs and plenty of antique shops. In fact, it's been crowned 'Best Antiques Town' and draws interior designers and serious collectors from all over the country, so you better start clearing some space.

A Georgian Retreat

Bicycles

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

Placing you right in the heart of Warfield, this home provides a practical yet cosy space from which to explore the Berkshire countryside. There are forest walks and cycle trails within easy reach, while it’s just a five-minute drive to the shops and restaurants of the Lexicon – a great option for family entertainment. At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on a pull-out bed which might not be ideal for longer stays, but it has all the other essentials you could need for everyday comfort. We like the little garden – a great spot for summer evening drinks. 

Joy & Ease

Private Pool

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.
