Sweet Pea & Honeysuckle
Sweet Pea & Honeysuckle, Plum Guide home in Oxfordshire, UK
Click to book Sweet Pea & Honeysuckle now: from £200 per night On the edge of the sleepy Churchill village, this classic Cotswold cottage is in a prime position for long walks through open fields and relaxed afternoons at the pub, just 400 yards from your doorstep. The home has that signature country house creaminess, with muted tones and exposed honey-hued stone. The delightful back garden has a patio, complete with dining table and barbecue. Enjoy lively dinners outside in the summertime with local produce from the farm shops in Chipping Norton, only a five-minute drive away. The lawn chairs are the perfect spot to soak up the sunshine, listening only to the distant hum of lawnmowers and sweet bird song. After rambling through meadows and along lesser-travelled lanes, kick off your wellies, flick the kettle on and cosy up with a strong cup of tea in the inviting living room – a starter supply of wood is provided for the open fire, ideal for keeping things toasty if the wind should blow a gale. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
Rectory Loft
Rectory Loft, Plum Guide home in Northamptonshire
Click to book Rectory Loft now: from £240 per night Don’t let the low-key name throw you - this slick conversion is a luxury country life experience. Part of the Rectory Farm estate, the Grand Designs’ worthy loft is sleek and minimal with lots of oak, steel-framed windows and Scandi meets English country furnishings. Throughout you’ll find intimate nooks of space for quiet contemplation, from the family bath with views of the sky through the Dorma, to the double workspace in the eaves. While the whole place is top drawer, the highlight has to be the glass-fronted balcony, looking out over the pond. Sitting here as dragonflies dance over the water, you’ll fancy yourself a million miles away from civilisation. In fact, you’re just ten minutes from the hustle and bustle of Market Harborough and five minutes from the all-important local pub. As an added bonus, you’ve got the run of the estate’s verdant 14 acres, complete with a lakeside picnic area. You won’t want to leave. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
The Old Rectory
The Old Rectory, Plum Guide home in Gloucestershire, UK
Click to book The Old Rectory now: from £625 per night Chintz is back, baby. Well, let’s face it, it never really went away. And certainly not in the Cotswolds; the collection of chocolate-box villages scattered around the idyllic countryside between Cheltenham and Oxford. This old Georgian rectory is a fabulous example. Every design detail here is wonderfully vintage way, and you’ll feel like you’re staying in a very comfortable, very welcoming Laura Ashley museum. We love the floral drapes everywhere; in the sash windows, around the four-poster bed and behind the dresser doors. Tasselled ottomans and jacquard wallpaper keep up the motif. The stone spiral staircase is an architectural marvel, and worthy of an Instagram snap or two. Head outside and the flora will follow you, with roses arching around the main door and a gorgeous country garden filled with fragrant flowers. It’s a view best enjoyed from the hot tub, which your host can organise. Sleeps up to 15 | 7 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms
Old Rectory
Old Rectory, Plum Guide home in Northamptonshire, UK
Click to book Old Rectory now: from £1500 per night In the middle of the quaint Northamptonshire village of Tiffield lies this lovingly renovated Georgian rectory that's ideal for large family getaways. It's a country home where each room tells a different story, with unique finds ranging from antique plates to watchful bird art and even a crocodile in the downstairs loo — a model one, don't be alarmed. In the ten acres of grounds that surround this property, you'll be greeted by a heated swimming pool, a barbecue, a huge alfresco dining area and some manicured gardens where you can escape for a moment's peace. Say hello to the bantam chickens wandering about too, they're sure to be firm friends by the end of your stay. There's even a games room so you can start a table tennis tournament or practise your putting on a mini-green. When you fancy a day out, the stately home and gardens at Canons Abbey are twenty minutes away in the car, while the ears of motorsports fans will prick up when they hear Silverstone Circuit takes about half that time. Sleeps up to 14 | 6 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms
Rectory Cottage
Rectory Cottage, Plum Guide home in Northamptonshire, UK
Click to book Rectory Cottage now: from £209 per night This fantastic dovecote conversion pairs thoughtful, rustic decor with high tech amenities – air conditioning, Netflix, Xbox, Amazon Echo and ultra-fast (100Mbps) internet.

Use it all guilt-free – solar power, air source heating and filtered well water make this an environmentally friendly stay. Though set in a private 14-acre estate, it's within easy distance of local attractions: Market Harborough, Kelmarsh Hall, Silverstone, Leicester Racecourse and the Sourdough School. Even London is only an hour away by train. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 2 Bathrooms
