Click to book Babes In Toyland now: from £550 per night Pretty as a picture, this period townhouse in the heart of Henley is the perfect choice if you're looking for a quintessential English home with everything right on its doorstep. Just moments away from the riverside, there are shops, restaurants and cafes aplenty and – best of all – the host has an agreement with the pub next door which can provide room service food and drink during your stay. Set over three floors and packed with character features, it's a charming place with a contemporary extension to the rear making for a bright, open plan living space. The kitchen is all set up for easy cooking at home, and you can choose to eat at the dining table or, if the sun gods are smiling, open up the bi-folding doors and sit out in the pretty courtyard garden. If you're here to do some serious walking in the Chiltern Hills, the addition of a boot room with a shower is useful, and there's a snug at the front of the house for cosy evenings in. Sleeps up to 10 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms

Click to book Redwick now: from £210 per night Enjoy a stay in the heart of Berkshire in this fresh modern home close to Slough’s town centre. The airy open-plan living space invites you to unwind and relax with loved ones or come together on the comfy corner sofa to battle it out on the retro games console. Set over three floors, there’s ample space for everyone to spread out and you can step out for some fresh air in the small garden or on the balcony perching out from the master bedroom. The contemporary kitchen is perfectly equipped for relaxed meals at home, but if you feel like heading out, you’ll have access to a wide range of local amenities and activities on your doorstep. The kids will love the close proximity to Legoland and Thorpe Park while the grown-ups can enjoy the rich history and charming shopping streets of Windsor just five minutes down the road. If you’re flying in from abroad, you’ll be pleased to know that Heathrow Airport is just a ten-minute drive away, and London can be reached in under 20 minutes by train for exciting day trips exploring the capital. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Tulip now: from £75 per night In the heart of Reading city centre lies this illustrious top floor apartment, a hideaway on a bustling street. The station’s just around the corner, making trips to London or Oxford a piece of cake. And when we say the city's on your doorstep, we mean it. Need food shopping? An M&S food hall is next door. Forgot to pack a t-shirt? John Lewis is round the corner. Once you're in the flat, it's easy to forget how central you are. Natural daylight, modern design, and cosy furniture make this home a little retreat in the city. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Champagne River now: from £490 per night Right in the heart of the pretty town of Henley-on-Thames, this period home has been given a modern and fresh facelift. Just a minute from the river and set on one of its most attractive streets, this perfect little piece of history was built as a chapel in 1850. Set over three floors, and with many of its character features preserved, it's now a rather swish place for a family get-together or a reunion of friends. White, grey and pink tones make for a relaxing feel and the home is filled with natural light. There's a sleek new kitchen, with all the mod cons should you decide to cook at home, but this town is also known for its great bars and restaurants – which are conveniently within walking distance. We especially love this home’s back garden, with its plush seating, greenery and charming glass shed. And the luxury bathroom, complete with a big, freestanding tub and double sink unit, is the stuff of dreams. In the evenings, sit outside on the patio set with a bottle of wine or stroll two minutes down to the river for a G&T at one of the waterside pubs. Oh, and if you happen to be staying during the Henley Regatta, it's practically outside your front door. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Albatross House now: from £190 per night In Slough, convenience is key for getting around the south of England. As accessible to Bath and beyond as it is to London, families who want to explore the best southern England has to offer should look no further. With supermarkets and a town centre on your doorstep, to stay in this three-storey home is to become the newest neighbour in a friendly community, where everything you need is nearby. The house itself has a well-kept garden area, fresh interiors, and a modern kitchen area. Little ones (or big kids) will love the Nintendo Wii, playing the classic games of the '00s. Sleeps up to 8 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
