Just under an hour from London by train or car, Twyford is conveniently close to the big city, but with a village-like feel that’s much more peaceful. With striking natural beauty to explore in the Chiltern Hills, just a thirty-minute drive away from this home, you might fancy spending some time in the great outdoors. But how about living in someone’s garden? Hear us out. This incredible outhouse is set in your hosts’ lush back garden, with a life of its own. Private and secluded, you’ll not only have a beautifully modern cabin, but your own hot tub, outdoor lounge, and dining set. We love this elegant space, which feels more like a VIP stay than a backyard hut. Within these sleek, white interiors, you’ll find a modern fireplace, stylish slate-grey kitchen fittings, and fluffy bathrobes and slippers for extra luxury. There are some super cool hidden features – a dining bench that turns into a pool table and a double bed that folds down from a storage cupboard. Compact, cosy, and stylish, this unique stay is sure to charm you.

Weeping willows cascade into the Thames and barges putter along the serene water – life in Henley-on-Thames is all about the river. Cruises by steamer, or a day pottering about in a row or sail boat are the best ways to experience a slice of river life, and the Henley Royal Regatta takes over in August. If staying landside is more your thing there are plenty of tea rooms serving...
