Pembroke Peace, South Wales, UK
The living area, ideal for board games, at Pembroke Peace, Plum Guide home in South Wales, UK
Click to book Pembroke Peace now: from £200 per night Live like a lord or lady of the manor in this fine Georgian mansion house. Whether you're taking along your friends, family, or colleagues, you'll settle into this luxurious setting in no time at all. Access to the home is via a private lane near Princes Gate, meaning that it's a secluded spot where you can truly relax. Inside, the home is the perfect blend of old and new, where traditional touches meet modern convenience – enjoy underfloor heating and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances alongside gorgeous period details. Outside, you'll find a mixture of formal gardens and private woodland to explore, along with a large wooden cabin with a studio play area and a games hall. There are plenty of adventures to be had here, but you simply must explore some of the gorgeous Welsh countryside too. Pembrokeshire National Park is right on your doorstep, where you can hike, cycle, or even pony trek through the stunning landscapes. The pretty market town of Narberth is a five-minute drive away, and Telpyn Beach is just over ten minutes away by car. And, when you return home after a busy day, the outdoor hot tub is waiting for you – it's the ideal way to relax under the stars. Sleeps up to 12 | 5 Bedrooms | 8 Bathrooms
Harbour Breeze, Devon, UK
The living area, ideal for board games, at Harbour Breeze, Plum Guide home in Devon, UK
Click to book Harbour Breeze now: from £430 per night In the heart of pretty Salcombe, just a minute’s walk from the harbour, this breezy apartment is the perfect base from which to explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th century, you’ll notice vaulted ceilings and timber beams have been lovingly restored to provide timeless character among the modern comforts. The open-concept layout makes for easy entertaining – keep up with conversations as you tend to dinner in the stylish kitchen. For evenings when you’d rather hang up your apron, you’re footsteps from pubs offering hearty fare and fine ale. Spend sunny afternoons watching boats bob in the quay or pack a picnic and take the leisurely twenty-minute walk to North Salcombe Sands, where clear azure waters and rock pools teeming with crabs await. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
Rectory Barn, East Midlands, UK
The living area, ideal for board games, at Rectory Barn, Plum Guide home in East Midlands, UK
Click to book Rectory Barn now: from £361 per night Part of Rectory Farm in the East Midlands (fifteen minutes from the lovely Market Harborough), this slick barn conversion is the epitome of luxury country living. Outside, you're surrounded by fourteen acres of rolling countryside, while inside, soft furnishings, mood lighting and striking original artwork create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. We loved the folding glass wall in particular – it overlooks the landscaped garden, and on warm days, you can open the doors and bring the outdoors inside. Spend days roaming the grounds and finish the evenings with a board game or family movie night in the lounge. Your hosts have considered every single detail, and the list of mod-cons feels endless – we're talking a popcorn maker, electric blackout blinds, power showers, no less than four Amazon echos, two smart TVs with Netflix, an Xbox One (complete with games) and a super high-spec kitchen that has everything you'll need to rustle up a delicious dinner. During the winter, the underfloor heating protects toes from getting chilly, and there's a full summer kitchen with a gas barbecue and seating for eight on those long summer nights. And if you're worried about the strain all the gadgets might put on the environment? Don't be – the hosts have even considered that, and the whole home runs on solar power and air-source heating. Sleeps up to 8 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
Aubergine Dreams, Cumbria, UK
The living area, ideal for board games, at Aubergine Dreams, Plum Guide home in Cumbria, UK
Click to book Aubergine Dreams now: from £290 per night Much like the tea, this home is proper Yorkshire. From the flagstone floors to the original fireplaces and that beautiful purple AGA oven, this home exudes traditional charm. But fear not, a stay here is far from a trip back to the 18th-century; the wooden beams may be antique, but the games room, media system, and the hot tub are all thoroughly modern. In the rural wilds of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the legendary Lake District, this four-bedroom home is a perfect escape for a big family or group of friends eager to explore the great outdoors - even if it’s just a stroll around the massive garden, and food and drinks on the patio. The nearest pub is a 5-minute drive away (or a leisurely 40-minute walk through the countryside), making for the ideal pint pitstop after a long day exploring the Dales. Back at the home, head to the garden and follow the sound of the rushing brook. Walk down the steps, and relax on the bank by the Clough River in perfect tranquility. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
Hinwick, Bedfordshire, UK
The living area, ideal for board games, at Hinwick, Plum Guide home in Bedfordshire, UK
Click to book Hinwick now: from £2450 per night This is the real deal. A Grade I-listed Queen Anne manor, it was modelled after the original Buckingham Palace and some of the furniture is from Althorp (the home of Princess Diana). It has vast grounds to explore – 38 acres of formal gardens with immaculate lawns, two ornamental lakes, an orchard, a deer park, and ancient trees. And if the priceless Persian rugs and custom-made crystal chandeliers aren’t luxurious enough for you, you can always book in some meals from the private chef. To top it off, it’s only 90 minutes from central London, near the village of Podington in Bedfordshire. Sleeps up to 24 | 12 Bedrooms | 10 Bathrooms
