Click to book Mrs Daffodil now: from £163 per night Seemingly plucked straight from a fairytale, this idyllic thatched cottage makes a romantic nesting place for couples looking for a rural escape. The hamlet is dotted with beautiful stone cottages which are often thatched in the local vernacular. Explore the landscape and take a leisurely walk along country paths to reach the local inn Tunnel House, originally built to house the canal tunnel workers. The local towns of Tetbury and Cirencester offer excellent pubs and cafes for afternoon teas. Once you've filled your tummies with delicious local produce you'll want to take some time to truly appreciate the cottage's charm. Cosy up on the velvet sofas by the wood-burning stove and relish in the home's comforting character. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Rose & Slate now: from £217 per night In the heart of Bath's UNESCO-protected historical streets, this home is like something out of a regency romance novel, combining elegant Georgian chic with modern highlights. The wood-panelled walls and grand cornices of the living room have been updated in a soft, stone colour, while the deep green sofa and leather armchair wouldn't be out of place in the library of a grand mansion. The huge windows flood the space with beams of natural light, and the original fireplace harks back to days of brandy and cigars. The striking kitchen in black and gold has everything you need for self-catering, but the city centre's pubs and restaurants are right on your doorstep if you'd prefer to leave the cooking to someone else (you're on holiday, after all). Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Birds & Bees now: from £200 per night Situated within the quintessential and calm Camden Farm is this Cotswolds cottage perfect for a family getaway. Brooding with history and refined elegance, the cottage is quiet and calm and lends itself to long days in the garden and cosy afternoons in around the fire. Slip on your wellies and spend days on the grounds with the river Thames at the rear of the house. Continue to wander along the Thames path to enjoy its riverside pubs and restaurants. Suitable for a weekend away from the city for the whole family, you will probably consider extending your stay by the time you’re meant to depart. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book No Charm Equal now: from £690 per night This Georgian townhouse in the heart of historic Bath is perfect for large family reunions and get-togethers with friends or colleagues. Convene in the morning for breakfast at the long dinging table and spend evenings on the multi-tiered outdoors where adults can enjoy a glass of wine while the children play. Exploring is easy due to the home’s central location, within walking distance from the Roman Baths, Thermae Bath Spa, and activities like miniature golf or walking along the Avon river. After dining at one of the famous local eateries, stroll back to your quiet home and enjoy the slower pace of life in Somerset. Sleeps up to 17 | 6 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book The Bookend now: from £338 per night This idyllic home retains all its charm from when it was an eighteenth-century pub but with all the modern creature comforts you could want. Perched on a hill, you can gaze out the shuttered windows at Widcombe and Bath Abbey, knowing you’re just a short walk away from the city centre. On a sunny day, light will flood the stylish living area and if you open up the bi-fold doors to the courtyard garden, you’ll see a sea of Bath stone terraces around you. As you smell the food grilling on the barbecue and sip the cold drink in your hand, you’ll feel exactly where you need to be. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
