In a world of endless choice, a curated recommendation is a precious thing. This is not a random list, but a carefully selected collection of six of the UK’s most desirable hideaways. Each has been chosen for its unique character, its beautiful location, and its effortless accessibility by train, offering a truly exceptional travel experience.
This collection includes a lakeside lodge in Essex, a perfect jewel of a retreat for those seeking wellness and water. It is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary where every element, from the natural swimming pond to the private sauna, has been curated to promote rest and rejuvenation. It is the epitome of a stylish, modern escape.
For the artist and the romantic, we have selected a glass-fronted cabin in Cornwall. Its inclusion is non-negotiable due to its priceless, panoramic view of St Michael’s Mount. This is more than just accommodation; it is a private gallery, an artist’s studio, and a front-row seat to one of Britain’s most iconic coastal dramas.
Our curation also features a collection of sustainable bothies in Scotland, chosen for their impeccable design credentials and their deep commitment to ecological principles. They represent the pinnacle of eco-chic, proving that sustainable travel can also be incredibly stylish and luxurious.
The collection is completed by a classic sea-view cottage in Northumberland for the traditionalist, a funky and affordable spa hotel in Berkshire for the pleasure-seeker, and a smart, budget-friendly base in the Lake District for the adventurer. Together, they represent the very best of what a modern, car-free British holiday can be.
