Brontë Schoolhouse
Brontë Schoolhouse, Plum Guide home in Lancashire
Click to book Brontë Schoolhouse now: from £119 per night This Casterton cottage has lived many lives in its rich history, most notably as the school Charlotte Brontë and her sisters attended in the 1800s. To stay here is to stay in literary history. Recently renovated, the cottage has a new life as a home where high ceilings meets joyous splashes of colour and comfortable furnishings. All the home comforts are here, and the cottage is hugged by a charming little village. A five-minute drive away lies the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, where you're sure to pick up charming souvenirs and fresh local produce. Further afield, take to the water at Lake Windermere, a half-hour drive from your front door. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
In My Life
In My Life, Plum Guide home in Liverpool, UK
Click to book In My Life now: from £100 per night A visitor to a city with the cultural history of Liverpool needs a home right in the centre of the action – and this comfortable, modern apartment fits that bill perfectly. Right in the heart of the bustling Liverpool One retail hub, you'll be just minutes from the central railway station and perfectly positioned to explore the Royal Albert Dock (it's only a ten-minute walk away). Of course, you'll probably be spending most of your time hitting the nearby shops, bars and restaurants – but you'll have a delightful living space to kick back in when you return. Earthy tones and soft textures come together to create an air of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there's plenty of abstract artwork to admire. If you're here on business, there's a large multi-purpose table and superfast wi-fi, making catching up on emails a breeze. So whether you’re in Liverpool to spend a day in the life of the Beatles in the Cavern Quarter, visit the Bluecoat Gallery or enjoy a spot shopping, you won't find a better-placed home to call your own for a few days. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Babbling Brooks
Babbling Brooks, Plum Guide home in Lancashire
Click to book Babbling Brooks now: from £250 per night 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. Sleeps up to 8 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
Hey Jude
Hey Jude, Plum Guide home in Liverpool
Click to book Hey Jude now: from £100 per night Buzz — some cities have got it and some just haven’t. And Liverpool has it in spades. We love how Merseyside has transformed itself in recent years into a top-notch destination for shopping, eating and hopping between art galleries. You can place yourself in the epicentre of events thanks to this deftly designed urban pad. Blush pink, terracotta and an array of house plants subtly introduce a natural world theme to the home, making it a soul-soothing spot to recharge after an electrifying time out in the city. Throw together a quick breakfast in the kitchen area and join your fellow guests for a morning planning session around the wooden dining table. The Liverpool ONE shopping district is right on your doorstep, but we recommend the independent eateries of the Baltic Triangle and dinner one night in the UK's oldest Chinatown. Art lovers should make a visit to the Tate a priority and consider a day trip to the unique Lady Lever Gallery over the water at Port Sunlight. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
The Keeper
The Keeper, Plum Guide home in Cumbria, UK
Click to book The Keeper now: from £1238 per night Whether you’re rambling around the surrounding fields or snuggling up by the fire, your days at this serene cottage are bound to bring you peace and unbridled comfort. And when it’s warm out, you can sit on the terrace with a delicious bite to eat and a glass of wine while you savour the nature views. An evening dip in the indoor pool will provide a relaxing end to the day. Lake Windermere, with the promise of boat rides and incredible scenery, is a few minutes’ drive away, and if you’re happy to venture out a bit further, Loughrigg Fell is the perfect spot for morning nature walks. Sleeps up to 10 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
