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.

Every care has been taken to modernise this Victorian cottage without diminishing its period charm. We love the old-world touches, like the cast iron heaters, sparkling chandeliers and ornate vintage mirrors. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the big city is a no-brainer here. Throw open your windows in the morning, and you’ll hear birdsong – you might even see a passing deer or two. Whip up a quick breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, and then put on your walking shoes. Miles of open countryside await right on your doorstep – the cottage is at the end of a drive where the village gives way to the natural world. You can spend entire days hiking the patchwork of fields and farms crisscrossed by a web of brooks. You’ll quickly work up an appetite after all that exploring. You can grab a meal in the village pub, the local chippy or the Tandoori restaurant. However, if you want more variety, a five-minute drive will take you to nearby Ramsbottom, where you'll have a much wider choice of cafes, restaurants, and food shops. A thirty-minute drive will have you in central Manchester, in the heart of all that the city has to offer. In the evening, fill the bathtub and feel the relaxation wash over you.

Welcoming guests in style, this converted barn in West Yorkshire boasts a large living area with ample room to socialise and sprawl out. In keeping with its rustic charm, it features plenty of exposed stone, wooden beams and high vaulted ceilings, while modern touches such as a striking bespoke staircase, innovative handmade lighting and a sleek island kitchen have been installed with luxury and comfort in mind. Enjoy meals together at the long table in the open dining area, admiring scenic views of the Yorkshire countryside through vast picture windows. Venture off into the surrounding area and experience the picturesque views first hand, discovering the tranquil beauty of the woodlands. When you're in the mood for exploring further, take a short drive to the quaint village of Ripponden for a hearty pub meal in one of the charming eateries and an enticing taste of the slow life.

Tell a Tale

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.

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.

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

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.

The Shepherdess

EV Charger

This charming apartment is tucked away in the heart of the Peak District. It’s the perfect base for a couple looking to spend a few romantic days away in the countryside. Beautiful Bakewell is a fourteen-minute drive, and Chatsworth House, with its rich history and stunning gardens, is eighteen minutes away. 

This is a home with comfort at its heart. After days spent touring historic houses and meandering around scenic villages, it’s a delight to return to. You might spend the morning hiking in the countryside surrounding the farm, and then head back here to curl up with a good book. The courtyard garden is a lovely spot for an alfresco lunch, and boasts gorgeous views. 

In the evening, stroll thirteen minutes to the local pub for a pint by the roaring fire. You can dine there or back at the apartment, enjoying the cosy open-plan living and dining space. Later on, sink into the oh-so-comfortable bed – you’re guaranteed a peaceful night’s sleep here.

Positively brimming with colourful furnishings, eclectic decor and stylish wallpaper, this funky pad is perfect for the discerning Sheffield settler. Located in the hip-and-happening Kelham Island – a former industrial hub turned trendy hotspot full of quirky bars, traditional pubs and pop-up stalls, it's one for foodies and ale-lovers alike. And for those in need of a culture fix, the Kelham Island Museum, explaining the history of the city's steel industry, is at the centre of the island itself. Back in your cosy digs, the character of this modern home shines out from the moment you enter, with its vibrant pops of colour, chic furniture and curated greenery. For those keeping one eye on work during their stay, there's a dedicated office space by the window to get your head down, while those after a lazy coffee morning will find a cosy spot in the master bedroom to enjoy a good book. While the brightly styled living spaces make for a homely spot to relax, the real highlight of this home is the outside space. Sip your alfresco wine on a fully decked out balcony, overlooking the stillness of the River Don – what better way to bookmark the day.

Access to Beach

This is one of those rare homes that are just as relaxing outside as it is inside. The interior of the garden apartment has been finished in a cleansing shade of white that feels instantly soothing and there's also a fireplace in the living room that's ideal for gathering around during the colder months. Out through the back door, however, is a wonderfully green space where you can sit out underneath the pergola and feel the sun on the skin — we're nothing if optimistic. There are tall trees lining the borders that offer a little bit of privacy as well as flourishing plant beds. If it gives you a bit of inspiration to head out and explore more of the great outdoors, you're in a wonderful position. Coastal walking routes in Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in seven minutes' drive, while Lake Windemere takes thirty-five minutes to reach.

Built in 1809 and renovated in 2020, grade II-listed King Of The Vale brings together old and new for a wonderful experience in the Peak District. The striking Georgian cottage features beamed ceilings, traditional shutters, sash windows, wood-burning stoves and an impressive garden, all while providing guests with twenty-first-century comforts and design. Prepare wonderful meals in the fully equipped kitchen, then enjoy your creations al fresco or in the modern dining room. With four bedrooms, up to eight guests are welcome to enjoy the home's cosy interiors and excellent position in the charming village of Rowsley. From here, it's easy to visit all corners of the famous Peak District.

This home in the heart of Chester is full of thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, a breakfast hamper, books and board games for the children, and even yoga mats and blocks should you feel the urge to ‘om’ while staying here. From the peace and quiet of the street, you’d never guess you were just a two-minute walk from Chester’s historic centre. Almost all the town's biggest sights are within walking distance in fact – you’re minutes from Grosvenor Park, the River Dee, Chester Racecourse, and the Roman Amphitheatre. Built in the 19th century, the house has been fully renovated and has a bright, fresh feel to it that is instantly welcoming. Decorated in refreshing whites, there are bright splashes of orange, green, and yellow to greet you in the morning. And after a day of sightseeing, the courtyard garden is a suntrap and the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing drink or reviving cup of tea.

This Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse in the historic Cheshire town of Congleton doesn't shortchange guests when it comes to rooms. As well as the generously sized bedrooms, there are also three separate living rooms and kitchens, many with log-burning fireplaces or — in the case of one — an Aga stove to keep your toes warm. As well as there being no shortage of space to socialise in the traditionally appointed interior, the home also benefits from two garden spaces, one with a hot tub large enough to accommodate eight guests on a warm summer's evening. If it's too cold to be frolicking about outside, there are plenty of chic bars and restaurants in the locale, some even on the street on which the house sits. However, rural outings are just as easy, too — the outer boundary of the Peak District can be reached in twelve minutes in the car, while Biddulph Grange Garden only takes eight.

With 9 acres of sprawling, green gardens at your disposal, this home right on the edge of the famous Peak District offers respite and restoration. Architecturally designed, the fact that it’s rounder than your average house not only makes this place unique, but it offers incredible views from almost anywhere inside the home. You can, of course, also slide open the door that separates the lounge from the outdoor patio and let some of that Derbyshire goodness drift in on the breeze. Forget about time as you amble around, heading to the compact kitchen for a cup of freshly-brewed coffee before sinking into the sofa without a care in the world, the sounds of mother nature a welcome lullaby. 

With board games on offer, you might take to the living room floor for a game or two in front of the crackling fire, but you’ll most likely want to spend most of your time outside. Kids have ample space to run around whilst you supervise from the garden chair with a glass of wine. Barbecue as often as possible or wander the grounds in search of the perfect picnic spot. 

The heated indoor swimming pool is yours for half of the day – make the most of it by playing shoulder wars or marco polo in the clear blue waters. With many walking routes, you’ll be able to see as much of the surroundings as possible, and all at your own pace. Try the Woodside to Chatsworth circular so you can stop off at Chatsworth Stables for a coffee. 

Explore the Peak District, visit the historic Haddon hall, and see the waterfalls – golfing enthusiasts might also want to visit the Bakewell course a short drive away. 

Where the Wind Vane Blows

Bike Shed

This blissful getaway in the Derbyshire countryside boasts spectacularly scenic views and an unrivalled level of tranquillity, the perfect place to unplug, unwind and rejuvenate amidst the abundance of local wildlife and nature. Set within 55 acres of private farmland, you'll find surrounding natural beauty in every direction that you look. Explore the gardens and fruit orchards on the grounds, where you'll find plenty of peaceful spots to meditate or do some yoga. The host even leaves yoga equipment inside for guests to use at their leisure. While you'll have plenty of privacy here, this place provides ample opportunity to socialise with the farm's flock of sheep, lambs, hens, and peacocks if you please. 

Inside, enjoy taking in the sweeping country views from the open-plan living area in style. Contemporary furnishings with a gorgeous green colour palette that nods to the surrounding flora and fauna present a calming space to feel at home in. Serve up homemade meals at the dining table after delightful days of discovering the local area. Relax in the private gardens, perfect for summer lunches and lawn games in the sunshine. Come evening time, there's no better spot than the fairy-light lit alcove to watch the sun set over the horizon. 

Nestled within ten minute's walking distance from the village of Rowsley, take afternoon strolls along the River Wye, or lace up your boots and hike to Nine Ladies Stone Circle on Stanton Moor. Further afield, you're just a ten-minute drive from the picturesque and historic market town of Bakewell, and five minutes from one of the country’s finest estates, Chatsworth House, home to an impressive art collection, beautiful gardens, water features and acres of park and woodland.

Located on the southeastern edge of the gorgeous Peak District National Park, this stunning ten-bed Georgian mansion is secluded away within an acre of immaculately presented private gardens. With terraced lawns, cute courtyard spaces and a Big Green Egg barbecue, the ornate outdoor areas are perfectly set up for alfresco dining. In fact, the gardens are noteworthy enough to have had an entire episode of BBC's Gardener's World devoted to them.

The home packs in plenty of charm from the moment you enter its grand entrance hall, with eye-catching colourful tiles, an imposing fireplace and elegant antiques. It's a similar story throughout the rest of the ground floor, with the addition of wood panelling in the reading room, large bay windows overlooking the garden in the drawing room, and plenty of light and space beneath the beautiful vaulted ceiling in the kitchen. Here, a large pine table sits up to ten adults or fourteen with children – perfect for large gatherings of friends and family.

Upstairs houses the six bedrooms, each with its own unique atmosphere and no less lovely than the last. With a four-poster bed, freestanding tubs in the en-suites and double aspect windows overlooking the luscious gardens, the only dilemma will be which of the three en-suite double bedrooms or two twins to choose. Finally, there's a bunk room that can accommodate four children. 

The ever-popular Peak District, England's oldest national park, is right on your doorstep. There are plenty of picturesque towns and villages to visit, plus rugged, windswept scenery to hike through or simply admire from a fireside armchair in one of its charming pubs. Those with a head for heights might like to try their hand at rock climbing or hot air ballooning, while cycling and hiking are on offer for those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground. If you'd like to nurture your creative side, speak to your hosts about photography courses and art classes.

There's an awful lot to like about this Regency home, but to start with anything but the incredible location feels almost sacrilegious. Sitting on top of Chester's old walls and overlooking the River Dee, you'll spend countless hours on the rear terrace, dining and relaxing with this most scenic of backdrops.

That being said, the home's interior is quite impressive, too. The tall windows and high ceilings lend an innate grandeur, and this is only furthered by the contemporary design that gives classic tropes – chandeliers, wood-panelled bookshelves, copper bathtubs – a modern-day spin. The stunning kitchen and cosy living room complete with roaring fireplace are sure to be favourites among those with sophisticated tastes, but there's also a massive games room and home cinema to keep everybody entertained.

When you can prise yourself away from this home's many amenities, there's a wealth of historic attractions, buzzy bars and riverside walking paths to explore in local Chester, but there are other options a little further afield – beaches on the north Welsh coastline can be reached in 45 minutes' drive, while Liverpool sits a similar amount of time to the north.

Elegant streetscapes, a thriving arts scene, bountiful thermal spas, and the glorious wilds of the Peak District on its doorstep –⁠  it's no wonder the historic town of Buxton continues to be one of Derbyshire's hotspots. 

You'll quickly discover all of its charms (and heights – it's England's highest town) with a stay at this quintessential cottage. The location is unbeatable, perfectly perched just a six-minute pleasant jaunt from its centre. 

Kick off muddy boots in the handy porch area and make your way inside to discover an immaculate home marrying characterful features with contemporary styling. Large, roaring fireplaces, exposed stone walls, and flagstone floors bring all the charm. While a smart, shaker-style kitchen, and upstairs, a deep, freestanding bath and quality king-sized bed, add a dash of luxury. 

Open the patio doors wide in warmer climes to enjoy the private, landscaped gardens beyond. The raised deck is the perfect spot to catch the last of the summer's rays with a glass of something chilled. As autumn draws in, take things inside to gather in the dining room for an atmospheric dinner party before curling up beside the crackling fire with a movie. Whatever the season, this is the kind of place you'll be happy to come home to.

Sauna

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. 


Wuthering Heights

In a secluded setting amid the valleys of the Peak District, this restored historic home offers a luxurious and unique stay for a large group, whether for a co-working retreat or a family reunion. Up to thirty guests can be accommodated, with ten sleeping in the curtained single beds in the attic room. You’ll be based in the idyllic village of Wildboarclough, with the River Dane surrounding the home on three sides – is there anything better than drifting off to sleep to the sound of rippling water? With wood-fired hot tubs, an indoor pool, and pizza ovens, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained here. 

Posh Peaks

Breakfast Included

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

Free Parking

This stylish 2-bedroom apartment is the perfect place to stay for your next trip to Bakewell. Located in the heart of the town, you'll be close to all the action, but still have your own private space to relax in. The apartment features a mix of antique and contemporary decor, creating a unique and cozy atmosphere. The spacious living room is the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring, and the fully-equipped kitchen is ideal for whipping up a home-cooked meal. Both bedrooms offer a peaceful night's sleep, and the secure free parking is a rare bonus.

Bakewell Bliss

Pool / Snooker Table

Courtyard

After looking around this home, you probably wouldn't guess that the property has been standing for more than a quarter of a millennium, but that's a testament to the care and attention that has gone into the renovation.

Aside from the odd exposed stone wall and the original fireplace, the interior is as contemporary as they come, but great importance is placed on cosiness, too. Underfloor heating and a wood-burner will get you warmed up once again after bracing country walks, while the huge kitchen has plenty of space for whipping up hearty feasts. If the weather's playing ball, you can even eat outside, which will give you an opportunity to admire the bucolic scenery.

As well as this private patio and barbecue, there's a shared fire pit on the grounds around which to gather once darkness falls. Guests also get access to a shared games room, which has tables for ping-pong and pool, board games and toys, as well as a small shop selling meat from the surrounding farm and locally produced artisanal products.

Sitting deep within the Peak District, you're certainly not short of walking routes in the local area, plus a couple of historic attractions — Magpie Mine is only a ten-minute walk, for instance. And what would a rural getaway be without a charming pub? You'll probably be happy to hear that the closest one is only eight minutes away on foot.


Gazing & Grazing

Bathrobes

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

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.

A luxurious, modern conversion, these former stables and coach house once belonged to the nearby manor. Set in extensive grounds but with its own garden, this is one magnificent place to stay in North Yorkshire. Thoughtfully designed by the owners who have put their personal stamp on the stunning interiors, there's plenty of space for groups to socialise – both indoors and out. The high-end kitchen is perfectly equipped for cooking family feasts, plus there's a smaller on the other side of that house that's perfect for whipping up a quick snack. Each bedroom is unique and they all come with spectacular bathrooms, ideal for relaxing after long walks or getting ready for a slap-up meal in town. You'd be forgiven for thinking you're in the middle of the countryside but here you'll be just a short walk away from the city of Ripon, with its endless places to eat, drink and shop. And being right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales means keen walkers and cyclists will love it here too.

Unbridled

Quintessential English living meets countryside tranquility in this beautiful stone cottage. Nestled in the quiet village of Foolow in Derbyshire, you'll feel at one with nature from being surrounded by miles of green fields. Whether you want to go out and wander around them, play games with the family, or just stay at home admiring the scenery from afar, you're sure to enjoy the surroundings either way. The garden of this home is particularly special. The outside seating area is tailor-made for enjoying an evening tipple. Why not sample the local Lindway Brook champagne and toast to making wonderful memories? When the light starts to fade, head inside and put your feet up in the lounge while the wood burner glows away.

Being situated in the Peak District, this cottage is in an ideal location to make the most of one of the UK's most beautiful regions. Get the boots on and hike one of the many trails here, or jump on two wheels and cycle to a nearby destination. We recommend the seventy-minute cycle to Buxton – a lovely town dating back to the Roman times that's known for its natural thermal springs. Soak your tired muscles before heading back to the cottage for the evening.
