This quaint stone-built terraced cottage on Haworth’s historic cobbled main street puts you within easy reach of the area’s local pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants, not to mention the Bronte Parsonage Museum less than a five-minute walk away. The decor is exactly what you’d expect of a cosy, rustic cottage – original beams and stonework, and a wood-burning stove in the downstairs living room. While you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach the bedrooms on the upper floor, the zip-and-link beds provide flexibility for families or friends sharing, and the parking permit provided is a welcome addition for those looking to explore further afield by car.

We're pretty sure that you won't find many cottages cuter than this. Built at the backend of the eighteenth century, this traditional weaver's house is Grade-II listed and you can see why. Inside, the wooden ceiling beams, exposed brickwork and stable door are full of rustic charm, while a log-burning fire and antique furnishings add an extra level of cosiness. To the side of the home, there's a patio area complete with alfresco seating where you can enjoy a coffee and the surrounding tranquillity of West Yorkshire. Fans of Last of the Summer Wine — one of the longest-running sitcoms in the world — will love walking around the local town of Holmfirth where it was filmed. The Peak District is only a ten-minute drive away too if you're in the mood for a long ramble.

Summer Wine

Fit for a romantic country break, this classic stone cottage sits in the rolling hills near Huddersfield. A ten-minute drive sees you in the confines of the Peak District – the UK’s oldest National Park – where walking trails weave across the landscape atop hills and past waterfalls. Ten minutes in the other direction, you’ll find the quaint town of Holmfirth to stock up on groceries and visit the local pubs and cafés. There’s a local pub and bakery a fifteen-minute stroll into the hamlet of Hepworth too.

After a day trekking in the Peaks, this is the perfect spot to put your feet up. Unlace your hiking boots and warm your toes by the wood-burning stove in the living room. ‘Cosy’ is the watchword here, with old wooden gables on display and thick stone walls keeping things warm once the stove gets going. There’s a little selection of holiday reads for evenings by the fire and a full kitchen for meals at home. In the sunny summer months, make use of the patio, furnished with a bistro table for two. From here, the only sound is the odd bleet from sheep in the field next door.

This old stone home offers an escape to the country like no other. Set on acres and acres of private land, the estate here is dedicated to rewilding. Instead of topiaried hedges and regimented flowerbeds you’ll find wildflower meadows, wild moorland and forests alive with wildlife. Here, days can be spent cycling and hiking the woodland trails straight from your doorstep, wild swimming and climbing up to a Bronze Age cairn. There’s a wellness centre on the estate too for some real R&R.

The home itself combines a Scandi-chic vibe with touches of the 19th century. Stone fireplaces and wooden-beamed ceilings sit alongside sleek, modern kitchen cabinets and plush sofas in sitting rooms. Our favourite spot has to be the dedicated playroom, or “kid’s cave” where bunting and hand-written notes cover the walls and there’s a big activity table to keep little hands occupied for hours. The view from the classic old windows is something to savour too – out over rewilded pastures and rolling hills for miles.

Rewild At Heart

Swimming Pool

Sauna

Connect with Yorkshire's great outdoors and clear your mind at this seventeenth-century farmhouse set within a sprawling 3000-acre estate with a historic manor at it's heart.

A wonderland of meadows, woods, moorland, reservoirs, and rivers, spend your day walking, cycling, picnicking, and wild swimming. And there's plenty of activities to delve into should organised fun be more your thing. The estate is home to England's biggest rewilding project, and the hosts organise foraging, forest bathing, and fire temple events (it's a thing). 

Should you be after a spot of rejuvenation, search out the estate's wellness centre with a luxurious shared gym and pool. Or if you'd rather keep things alfresco, the woodland sauna should do the trick.

When thoughts turn to food, there's something to suit all tastes. Head to the estate's bistro in the walled garden for light, organic bites –⁠ it's also the setting for your complimentary free breakfast each morning. Follow the woodland path leading to a gastro-pub (seven minutes on foot) for hearty upper-crust grub. Jump in the car to the picture perfect village of Skipton (an eight-minute drive) for afternoon tea. Or head back home to fire up the barbecue and soak up those vistas from the terrace –⁠ just imagine that view at sunset. 

An equally inviting home to spend a winter's evening, get toasty beside the crackling fire in the galleried living room, while kids spill out into the snug room up on the mezzanine. And when it's finally time to lay your head, take your pick from three whimsical king-sized bedrooms. Whichever you choose, you'll be sure to bank a serene night's sleep here.

Back to Nature

Balcony / Patio

Tithe Cottage is a gorgeous two-storey cottage located in Kirby Overblow, a charming village nestled in the serene North Yorkshire countryside near Harrogate. This lovingly renovated cottage offers a cosy retreat with picturesque views of rolling hills and tranquil meadows. Step inside and you'll be greeted by a welcoming atmosphere, tastefully decorated rooms, and an abundance of natural light. Relax in the comfortable living area or enjoy hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen-diner. Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer restful nights' sleep. Outside, immerse yourself in nature's beauty within the private garden, perfect for alfresco dining or simply soaking up the sun. With its peaceful surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions, Tithe Cottage is the ideal haven for a rejuvenating break or exploring the breathtaking landscapes of North Yorkshire.

Meadow View Hideaway

Ground yourself at this bolthole cottage squirreled away in the sprawling 3000-acre estate of a sixteenth-century manor house in the Yorkshire countryside.

Trotting about the grounds, spotting wildlife and birds along the way, you could feel a million miles from civilisation. Yet the picture-perfect market town of Skipton, lying in the foothills of the Dales, is just an eight-minute drive away.

Though you may find you have all you need back at home. Brave the river for a spot of wild swimming. Admire the imposing historic hall lying at the heart of the estate. Or give forest bathing a whirl - just one of many wellbeing events organised on the exclusive estate. 

Should thoughts turn to food, search out the estate's bistro in the walled garden - also the setting for your complimentary free breakfast each morning. Or follow the woodland path leading to a gastro-pub (seven minutes on foot) for hearty upper-crust grub.

When it comes to the evening's end, this cottage is a delight to return home to. Cosy up beside the fire with your loved ones and a good book. Or on balmy evenings, take things outside into the enclosed cottage garden as the birds strike up their evening chorus. There's plenty of space for little ones and furry friends alike to run amuck, while you kickback with a sundowner.

Set in a tiny hamlet above bohemian Hebden Bridge, the location of this home is everything.  Thick with artists, crafters, beekeepers, and people who like to do things a bit differently, HB must be one of the most unique villages in England. That quirky, independent spirit carries through into this cottage, with its eclectic mix of furnishings. Think classical with touches of the Middle East, craft crockery and striking wall art. The tree-filled garden is just the place for a morning chai latte, before browsing Hebden Bridge’s independent boutiques, watching an art-house film at the 1920s Picture House, or making a literary pilgrimage to Sylvia Plath’s grave in the ruined churchyard across the road. If you’d like an outdoorsy interlude from all that arts and culture, the surrounding countryside is prime territory for hiking. Come back to your small but perfectly formed base for an evening of love, laughter and stories around the firepit. 

Counting Stars

Guests looking for a comfortable and clean place to rest their weary heads should consider this home. Located just outside of the city centre, this urban neighbourhood is rich with green spaces and has plenty of local shops to visit. You’re also just a short drive from the city centre – in case you’re in town for business – and a mere half an hour from the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth. The Yorkshire Dales and its excellent walking trails are a similar distance. This home also has free on-street parking, making it super easy to head out for a day of adventures. Able to accommodate up to five guests, a few friends or a family will be well looked after here. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped and there’s a nice lounge with soft sofas that you can sink into after a busy day.

Embrace the awe-inspiring landscapes of West Yorkshire with a stay at this cute-as-a-button cottage nestled away in the sleepy village of Luddenden.

Don your hiking boots to dive right into the Yorkshire Dales –⁠ there are footpaths just moments from your door. Jump in the car to explore the vibrant Calder Valley towns of Mytholmroyd (an eleven-minute drive) and, a smidge further, Hebden Bridge (a sixteen-minute drive). And don't forget Halifax's historic gems - Piece Hall and Dean Clough are an afternoon well spent (a fifteen-minute drive).

When it's time to refuel, mosey down the hill to Luddenden's traditional inn for real ale, hearty grub, and a warm welcome (five minutes on foot). Or you might prefer to channel your hygge back at home. Newly renovated and full of character, it's a charming place to come back to whatever the season. In the winter months, hunker down beside the fire and break out the board games while others rustle up a bite to eat in the pristine kitchen. And when the sun shines, there's a blissfully quiet garden for aperitifs and nibbles, with multiple terraces to chase the evening rays.

Happy Dales

Beyond this home’s landscaped garden, it’s nothing but fields as far as the eye can see. You’re in a tiny West Yorkshire village, just a short hop in the car from the natural wonders of the Peak District. The exterior is honey-stone perfection with a plant-filled garden providing an al fresco spot for drinks and lounging in the sunshine. Glass doors fold back from the dining room for meals that feel as though they’re outside. A modern interior – black walls and leather sofas – is a far cry from the cottage exterior, but doesn’t take away from the comfort of this country bolthole.

With its original timber beams, wood-panelled walls and homespun furniture, this Klidwick barn conversion is the perfect place to kick back and relax after long walks through the West Yorkshire countryside. Wake up feeling well-rested in the unfussy bedrooms before sitting down to a full English breakfast in the kitchen-diner. If it’s blowing a gale outside, bundle into the living space and curl up with a hot mug of tea. 

But when the sun does shine, pull on your hiking boots and explore the nearby Yorkshire Dales or take the fifteen-minute drive into Skipton for its quaint coffee shops, outdoor market and 12th-century castle. When you’re ready for something to eat, head back to your quaint village for some tasty pub grub in the White Lion, less than a mile from your doorstep.

Wood & Spice

Take a trip back in time with a long weekend at this 12th-century cottage on the outskirts of Kildwick, North Yorkshire. Boasting beamed ceilings, mullion windows, and exposed stone walls, this place is full of surprises, offering plenty of traditional design features that’ll make your stay in God’s Own Country one to remember. Come home and curl up in front of the fire or get to work in the fully equipped kitchen, rustling up a delicious home-cooked meal for you and your fellow guests to tuck into at the patio table. 

When it’s time to explore, you’ll find yourself within touching distance of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, home to some of Yorkshire's most iconic scenery and attractions. Take a trip to Malham Cove, explore the ruins of Pendragon Castle, or go for a guided, late-night walk beneath the stars. Country escapes don't get more magical than that.

Timber Retreat

Wheelchair Access

In the heart of the breathtaking Holme Valley, surrounded by unspoiled landscapes, traditional towns and quiet villages, this stylish home provides a tranquil retreat in West Yorkshire. Boasting a private terrace overlooking the River Holme, you can spend picture-perfect mornings drinking coffee as the water travels past. 

You'll be based in Thongsbridge, which is home to an array of independent shops, antique treasures, and markets, plus the unique Art Market which features 100 exhibiting artists and designers. It's a popular spot among walkers and wildlife lovers, too, meaning you're never short of things to see and do here. Spend your days discovering the region's best natural beauty spots, or shopping for one-of-a-kind finds to take home to friends, before heading back home to relax for the evening. 

Accomplished cooks will no doubt appreciate the glossy kitchen, where you can whip up tasty meals for the whole family. Take your food outside to dine alfresco – the sight of the sun setting over the river banks is quite a sight to behold. Take it all in whilst sipping a glass of wine.

It's easy to fall in love with the landscapes that inspired one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. This cottage, with its stunning views over the moors and Haworth, is a fabulous, romantic retreat. Enjoy the vistas with a glass of Prosecco (your lovely hosts provide a complimentary bottle, as well as strawberries and flowers). This place is perfect for couples celebrating an anniversary or those who just want to pamper themselves (and who doesn't?). We love the log burner, Yorkshire flag-stone floors and the four-poster bed. Have a luxurious soak in the freestanding roll-top bath after your journey – this opulent room has underfloor heating for toasty toes too. Your host Catherine really has thought of everything here.

When you're ready to explore, spend idyllic days roaming the countryside and moors right on your doorstep, like Brontë’s Heathcliff and Cathy. Or go for a ten-minute drive to literary mecca Haworth, and wander around its cobbled streets and the iconic parsonage.





Heathcliff & Cathy

Lift Access

Perched on the edge of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, this fabulous ground-floor apartment puts you waterside and in the perfect position for watching the narrow canal boats pass by the town of Skipton. Enjoy leisurely afternoons filled with afternoon tea (make that Yorkshire tea, of course) and cakes at the outdoor seating area by the canal. With an abundance of greenery all around, the apartment's outdoor space provides a dreamy setting for days spent relaxing in the sunshine and taking in Yorkshire's stunning natural beauty. 

On colder days, the apartment's interior offers an equally relaxed, modern set-up – with the open-plan living space as the home's central hub. Sprawl across the sofas after long walks along the canal and serve up delicious homemade meals at the dining table – meanwhile, the kitchen island offers the perfect spot for popping open a glass of wine come evening time. 

Located just a stone's throw away from the town centre of picturesque Skipton, you'll be ideally placed for taking in the local shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. Meanwhile, Skipton's Medieval Castle is also well worth a visit. Not to mention the endless walking routes and epic natural scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park – found just a fifteen-minute drive away. 



The Boater's Lookout 

Parking On Street

This is the kind of home you daydream about for years after returning home. It’s a one-of-a-kind home, the sort of thing you might see on Grand Designs. It’s tucked away in the rolling hillsides of Calder Valley, so there are breath-taking views at every turn. The home was once the boiler house of an 1840s paper mill, and has been newly refurbished into a wonder of design. 

The frontage is fully glazed, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the woodland and river. However you plan on spending your visit, you’ll find that you lose hours here and there as you simply gaze out at the view. This is a peaceful sanctuary, the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and really unwind. The Japanese deep soak bathtub is a marvel, keeping the water hotter for longer so you can luxuriate for hours after a hike. 

Your evenings can be whiled away on one of two patios, where you can sip wine and listen to birdsong. Once the sun has set, step back inside for a cosy evening of board games. This home is quirky and luxurious – you’ll be planning your return before you’ve even unpacked your bags at home. 


Woodland Wish

Games Room

If you fancy yourself as lord or lady of the manor, then you can live out your dreams for a few days at this Grade II listed Georgian home. The majestic house is set in two and a half acres of private grounds, bursting with flower gardens, apple trees and green lawns that are perfect for picnicking. Pay a visit to the local farm shop to stock up on fresh produce, and cook a delicious meal on the AGA to share alfresco on the terrace as you admire the views of the rolling countryside. After dark, you might decide to stay outside and huddle around the fire pit, or retreat to one of the cosy living rooms to play board games or watch a movie. The Yorkshire Moors are right on your doorstep, ideal for long, muddy walks through the windswept landscapes that inspired the Brontë sisters, and it's just a short drive to visit the Pennines, where you can hike through an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Tucked into a sheltered, wooded valley, this picturesque cottage has a quiet, countryside feel that makes it the deal place for a secluded family retreat. You'll find plenty of rustic charm inside, from the wooden beams to the carved chess set and the antique four-poster bed – it dates back to the Georgian era and guarantees a great sleep. The wood-burning stove is the perfect place to curl up on chilly winter nights after you've made a cup of warm cocoa in the kitchen. However, during the warmer months, we reckon you'll head outside to enjoy a cool sundowner outside on the patio, or take a stroll through the sculpture-filled garden down to admire the ancient millpond. There’s also plenty of walking to be done around the surrounding woodlands – make sure you look out for the nearby waterfall while on your travels. And, if you need refreshments during your ramble, don't forget to stop in at one of the local pubs to enjoy some North Yorkshire hospitality. 

Tyas Cottage

Bathrobes

So new it sparkles, this luxurious home is on the top floor of a freshly converted textile mill. With views across Haworth and beyond, it's a stunning conversion with crisp, modern lines juxtaposing with period features. Inside, it's a warm and comfortable space – and what could be more welcoming than a complimentary bottle of bubbly and some chocolate truffles when you arrive? The living room has a huge, supremely comfortable sofa with a contemporary dining table and an open-plan kitchen with everything you could need for cooking at home. Down the hall, the bedroom is smart and serene, with a plush super-king bed to sink into. Here you'll be just by the river, a five-minute walk from the centre of the village. Jump on a vintage steam train, visit the popular Bronte Parsonage Museum or just head off for a country walk followed by lunch in one of the nearby eateries.

The Woven Word

Changing Table

Mosquito Net

Originally built in the mid-17th century, this striking farmhouse was subsequently acquired by the wealthy Wainhouse family and split into five cottages to house their dyers. The current host's family has lived in this cottage for two-and-a-half centuries and — save for some modern gizmos in the kitchen and a pristine white bathroom — the space hasn't changed all too much in that time. The ceiling beams, exposed stone walls and original doors remain, while the gas-fired cast iron stove in the inglenook fireplace is a fitting addition given the history. There's a lovely flower-filled garden at the front of the property, which might seem odd until you realise that it's south-facing and receives plenty of sunshine — when it decides to make an appearance in this corner of Yorkshire. When it does, there's a whole lot to see and do nearby, including countless historic sights, such as Wainhouse Tower on the Wainhouse Heritage Trail four minutes' walk away, and Shibden Hall reached in just under an hour on foot. Alternatively, the charming town of Hebden Bridge takes around a quarter of an hour to reach in the car and the Peak District starts half an hour's drive from your front door.

To Dye For

Paid Parking On Street

This charming cottage in the quiet village of Long Marston is the perfect base from which to explore nearby York and its surrounding countryside. Inside, the place is bursting with character. Modern renovations cleverly incorporate the building’s original features and an eclectic selection of colour and texture adds extra intrigue throughout. We particularly loved the eye-catching orange sofa and French antique bed in the second bedroom. Begin your mornings with a bite to eat in the light-filled living space or spill out into the garden for breakfast alfresco if the weather is on your side. For those who like to like to get out into nature, a ramble through the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is in order – it’ll take you around an hour to get there by car. Culture buffs should make the twenty-minute drive into historic York for its ancient Minster and medieval Shambles. Finish the afternoon with a well-earned gin and tonic beside the pretty River Ouse.

Orange Fizz

If you're searching for a peaceful escape in the heart of West Yorkshire, then look no further than The Hay Loft! This charming holiday retreat, nestled in the idyllic village of Wragby, offers a tranquil getaway like no other. As a lovingly converted grade II listed barn, this stylish accommodation boasts a unique fusion of rustic charm and contemporary design. Immerse yourself in the serene ambiance as you relax in the comfort of this picturesque countryside hideaway. With its close proximity to National Trust Nostell Priory and its capacity to sleep up to four guests, The Hay Loft is the ideal choice for family vacations and intimate staycations with friends. Embrace the beauty of West Yorkshire's rolling landscapes and immerse yourself in all the wonders this area has to offer.

The Secret Garden Haven

Nestled in the foothills of the Pennines, The Finer Details offers a gorgeous retreat from the bustle of everyday life. The host, Charlotte, has spent countless hours choosing the finest linen, testing the comfort of sofa beds, filling the kitchen with appliances that best support her guests' needs, and she takes great pride in how the place turned out. But there's much more to this cottage than the soft furnishings — thanks to its rural location, it offers a tranquil space for relaxation and reflection. Life here truly is simple. You wake up and make some delicious coffee in the French press, enjoy breakfast on the breakfast bar, maybe do some reading in the open-plan living room, and then head off towards your next adventure. Both Leeds and Machester are under an hour's drive away, which means you'll have your hands full with sightseeing and exploring the culinary scene of both these metropolitan cities. On days when you want to stay and enjoy the view, a grill is available on the patio where you can cook, rest, and relax.

The Finer Detail

Seamlessly blending traditional and modern, this rural farmhouse is a true escape from it all. Tailor-made for socialising, we love the open-concept kitchen and dining areas making up the heart of the home, where in winter, you can soak up the warmth of the wood burner or in summer months, spill out onto the terrace. Locally, you’re just a short distance from the vibrant market towns of Clitheroe and Settle, while walkers and cyclers alike will adore Gisburn Forest, a mere five-minute drive away.

Within a mile of Sheffield's city centre, this contemporary home makes a good base for your adventures. Broomhall is home to tree-lined streets, coffee shops and pubs, two universities, and Sheffield Botanical Gardens. It's quiet yet still close to all the action. Back home, you can enjoy sunny days in the private garden or spend chilly evenings getting cosy in the living area. In addition to the three comfortable bedrooms, the lounge features a sofa bed for one guest. Desks are available for digital nomads, a sleek kitchen is ideal for home chefs, and pets are welcome to tag along for a fee.

Take a break from the fuss and flutter of daily life and retreat to this traditional English cottage in the charming village of Tideswell. A former sweet shop, this boutique-style home combines original features with contemporary furnishings to create a modern yet warm and inviting space. Stepping inside, you'll find pearly white walls, ceilings and stone floors, while the log burner and wooden beams overhead keep things extra cosy. Explore the rolling green fields of the Peak District National Park right on your doorstep, or enjoy a morning walk through the village, passing cheery pubs, bistros, fish and chip shops and quaint little tea rooms. Stop off for a classic scone with jam and clotted cream or tuck into a full English breakfast close by or visit the award-winning restaurant 'The Merchant's Yard' for a special occasion. In warmer months, make the most of the sunny south-facing courtyard and relax with a bottle of something sparkling after a day spent roaming this beautifully unbridled landscape. 

Toffee Treat

Less than 500 metres from the shores of Lake Windermere, you’ll find this five-star barn conversion, set behind electric gates. Also, the vibrant village of Bowness is around 250 metres away, with its array of shops, tourist attractions, bars and restaurants. Or you could simply relax in the large courtyard which overlooks woodland with its sofas and outdoor fireplace. The stylish lounge has the all-important log-burning stove too, so it’s a great place for all the family or friends to chill out – this place is designed for relaxation.

Staying at Bakewell Pudding is as much about experiencing your hosts' attentive service as it is about staying in a quaint cottage in a great location. A handy parking permit will be waiting for you on arrival, and while the space is a few minutes' walk to the front door, you'll get to start exploring the lovely village of Bakewell. You'll find independent coffeeshops and restaurants two minutes away, and your hosts will let you know their favourite ones too. The cottage is such a cosy space to return to and offers opportunities for unwinding both indoors and outdoors. Make use of the immaculate patio when the sun is shining, or retire inside for a relaxing evening by the the cracking fire. With the Peak District on your doorstep, you won't run out of activities to fill up your day. Hike the Monsal trail or plan a visit to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall – there's something for everyone.

Bakewell Pudding

Dating back to the 19th century, this barn in the White Peak area of the Peak District has ben given a new lease of life in recent years. No longer used for farmyard storage, it's now a country getaway full of luxurious touches.

Save for the sections of exposed stonework, you wouldn't be able to guess this home's true age. The design is contemporary but definitely rustic in flavour, with bare floorboards, artfully weathered wooden furnishings and a Scandinavian-style wood-burning stove that's the ideal companion to return to after a long bout in the great outdoors. The svelte rolltop bathtub upstairs is another way to get toasty and warm, too.

As you can probably guess from looking out through the glass doors to bucolic views of rolling countryside, you're not short of walking routes and picturesque scenic points in the immediate locale. The historic market town of Longnor only takes five minutes to reach in the car as well and offers a one pub, coffee shop & village shop. 

The Farmer's Husband

Electricity Adaptors

Shhh. Can you hear that sound? Us neither. Quietness and tranquility await in this truly extraordinary country cottage in the North Yorkshire dales. The home's glorious traditional features - original stone floors, warm wooden beams, a roaring fireplace - are full of character, but it's the styling of this home that will make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. In the welcoming living room, the exquisitely-soft turquoise sofa is the perfect place to while away the hours with a book from the well-stocked bookshelf, and Eastern-inspired touches (including Buddha statues) add to the sense of calm. The kitchen, with its white marble countertops and exposed stone walls, is the ideal spot to cook up a rib-sticking meal. The bedrooms are elegant but simply furnished, with mustard yellow blankets and a dried flower wreath creating little moments of joy. But perhaps the real peace here comes from the scenery – this home is in the Yorkshire Dales’ Arkengarthdale, a beautifully remote location where you can hike for miles without seeing another soul. Bliss.

The Riverside Cottage

Resort Access

Lie low at this Tudor farm cottage, on the doorstep of a 400-acre nature reserve in the glorious Lincolnshire countryside.

Built in 1510 and lovingly restored using traditional handcrafts by the owners, the cottage fuses heritage architecture and cosy countryside living to perfection.

The devil really is in the detail here – from the freshly cut flowers to the gourmet breakfast baskets and afternoon tea spreads (both bookable for an additional fee).

Embrace the great outdoors with a guided reserve tour and spot the wild Exmoor ponies that roam this magnificent landscape – there are wellies and raincoats to borrow should the weather take a turn. Try your hand at archery and axe throwing lessons. Then reward yourself with an evening of pampering at the farm estate's on-site spa (think Cleopatra copper milk and flower baths) – it's just a thirty-second walk from your door.
 
When it comes to the day's end, enjoy long summer nights in the 18th century walled garden beside the firepit. Take things inside to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen, complete with an Aga stove. Break out the home's board games beside the crackling fire. Or head out to nearby South Ferriby for upper crust grub at it's award-winning pub – just a fifteen-minute drive away.


Tudor Dreams

It seems quite fitting that a home situated in the heart of the picturesque and historic County Durham should be equally charming – and this cottage nestled on the edge of the village of Hurworth fits the bill perfectly. Surrounded by lush woodlands and steps away from the river Tees, this is an ideal spot to base yourself if you wish to enjoy the tranquillity and natural beauty of this region. 

While the cottage retains its original character, the inside has been fully renovated and restored, offering all the modern comforts to make your stay a restful one. Step through the front door to be greeted by a bright and welcoming interior, with a cosy living room, perfect for lounging about and enjoying movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation by the fire. 

The bright and well-equipped kitchen inspires to create delicious feasts which can be shared with your loved ones either indoors or out in the privacy of the back garden.
