Gathering with family to set your intentions, to draw and write your dreams, and chat into the night about big plans, always takes on a life of its own when done away from the pressures of home. There is the space to dream big!
Most cottages offer the chance to book for less than a week, with the minimum number of nights usually three. So even if you can’t get away for a whole week, or can’t afford a holiday of that length, there’s still the option to recharge for a few nights in a beautiful location.
We’ve rounded up some gorgeous and some simple cottages, many with breath-taking views.
Bosinver Farm Cottages, Cornwall
Luxury self catering cottages in Cornwall where children can run free, families can relax together and nature is truly on the doorstep. The 20 luxurious cottages are set in 30 acres of wildflower meadows and woodland, in a peaceful valley near St. Austell and the Eden Project.
Loveland Farm, Devon
Sustainable holidays all year round on the Hartland Peninsula, close to hot surfing spots and some of Devon’s finest sandy beaches. This is a campsite with a difference, a place where sustainability comes first, where life is that little bit simpler.
Riverside Cottage, Hants
A self catering ho,me set in idyllic surroundings in beautiful Hants countryside. Just an hour fromLondon, with easy access to the coast, there are four double bedrooms so the cottage can comfortably sleep eight but if you need more room there’s also a ground floor study bedroom. The house was once three farmers cottages and has been restored into a beautiful home with exposed beams, fireplaces and stone floors.
