7 OF THE BEST NEW HIDEAWAYS FOR 2024
CRAFTSMAN’S CABIN, SOMERSET
Sleeps 4 + a child || From £170 per night || Dog friendly
Lovingly created as an ode to this special corner of Somerset, this incredible hand-built cabin celebrates traditional craftsmanship, and is filled with handcrafted furniture and beautiful pieces by local artisans. Tucked away in a secluded wildflower meadow, here you're blissfully out-of-touch with the modern world – free to soak in your outdoor tub as swallows swoop overhead or savour a sundowner on your peaceful veranda.
CHATAN AT COVE VALLEY
Sleeps 2 || From £171 per night
Cradled by acres of regenerated land and rewilded forest looped with walking trails, the latest edition to this rustic-luxe escape is the double-height Chatan, complete with a wood-fired hot tub on a tree-top deck and incredible views. Inside you'll find wonderfully original interiors by London studio, HÁM, and outside, a landscape teeming with wildlife. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated, but a stay here also offers a chance to contribute to regenerative tourism and see how it helps wildlife – including native beavers – thrive.
GLEN GLACK, SCOTLAND
Each sleeps 2 or 4 || From £270 per night || Dog friendly
A clutch of bespoke cabins, each secluded on a sprawling Scottish Highlands estate, with stunning views over pine forest and loch. Individually designed, the cabins sit on stilts to minimise impact on their surroundings. Large picture windows mean you can spot wildlife as you sip your morning coffee, and 50 miles of walking and cycling trails await, through glens, woodland, and beautiful Cairngorms wilderness.
THE FORAGER’S CABIN, WALES
Sleeps 2+2 kids || From £185 per night
The dreamiest spot for a re-set, this luxe eco-cabin is hidden away in a world of green, deep within the enchanting Welsh countryside. With endless birdsong and 10 acres of private woodland to explore– this back to nature escape is perfect to soothe busy minds. What’s more, brilliant little extras can supercharge a restorative stay – from aromatherapy massages and facials to farm shop breakfast hampers or a candlelit soak in the alfresco hot tub at dusk.
COURT HOUSE FARM, NR BRISTOL
Sleeps 6 or 12 || From £320 per night || Dog friendly
An incredible restoration of two medieval manors near Bristol; perfect for big get-togethers and creative retreats (sleeping 6 or 12). The peaceful 2-acre grounds have been beautifully planted, with tall grasses and flowered gardens encircling original timber outbuildings and a communal courtyard with festoon lighting. The adjoining manors, carefully restored in a real labour of love, can be rented separately or as pair. Either will blow your mind – totally unique and entirely unforgettable.
ORCHARD COTTAGE, CORNWALL
Sleeps 6 || From £190 per night
Follow the River Fowey upstream to the pretty village of Golant on its west bank, then check into this Grade-II listed cottage, a carefully restored family home. Whether you’re scouting for the school holidays or rallying your group of friends, the sprawling south-facing lawn, pared-back architecture and snug movie room make Orchard Cottage a serene base for equally dreamy days spent kayaking on the river and walking along the downs.
THURSFORD CASTLE CABIN, NORFOLK
Sleeps 2 || From£150-200 per night
Secluded in its own meadow, this beautiful cabin near Norfolk’s north coast is a real back-to-nature escape without compromising on luxury. Gorgeous Scandi-chic interiors, soft Egyptian cotton bedding, a rainfall shower and Natural Living toiletries give it a hotel-style class; but it’s the tranquil surroundings that make it extra special. A large bedside window gives pillow views of sunlight dancing through leaves; a dining table under the trees invites long, lazy breakfasts and candlelit dinners.
