Escape the ordinary at this riverside hideaway for two, nestled in over an acre of secluded woodlands and yet just a twenty-minute stroll from the historic centre of Cambridge. 

With a wood-burning stove to nestle up beside and riverside views from the luxurious four-poster bed, the charms of this cottage cabin are hard to resist. 

On sunny mornings, open the French doors wide and savour morning coffees from the deck’s swing chairs as swans and rowers glide on by. Then up the ante and take to the river with one of the home's boats or kayaks – you've direct access to the river from the garden. 

When thoughts turn to food, closeby you'll find a coffee shop for lazy brunches (ten minutes on foot) and a riverside gastropub (three minutes on foot). Or head into Cambridge's centre along the river towpath (twenty-minute stroll or ten on bike) to dive into one of its ancient pubs before a mooch about the shops. 

Just be sure to make it home for nightfall to get toasty beside the chiminea (which handily doubles as your barbecue). As the stars twinkle overhead, there's no finer place to be.

Whether you're coming to Cambridge for work or pleasure, you can be sure of a warm welcome at this studio home in the city's Eddington area. With all the convenience of a hotel but the independence of a self-contained flat, it's a perfect choice if you enjoy an easy life – and who doesn't? But it's not just a matter of practicality – this place is modern, smart and super stylish. A larger than average unit, it's been designed to be comfortable and luxurious. There's living space, a dining table and a cosy king-size bed, as well as plenty of storage for your stuff and a little kitchen area that's surprisingly well kitted out. We love the bathroom, with its on-trend pink tiles and rainfall shower. And the building comes with a few perks too. There's a guest gym, a restaurant, co-working space and even a shared rooftop terrace. All this and it's just a ten-minute drive (or bike ride) into town.

Peach Shnapps

To the northwest of this famous, historic city, this apartment in a new, sustainable development is as cutting edge as it gets. Designed to offer all the independence of a self-contained apartment, it also benefits from all the luxurious amenities you'd expect from a hotel. Ideally suited to families or small groups of friends, this home is striking, stylish and modern. Easy to move into and just start enjoying yourself, everything has been thought of to ensure your break will be relaxing and comfortable. There's a small but aesthetically pleasing kitchen area with everything you'll need if you're cooking at home, as well as a smart dining table and a cosy sofa. With an open layout to keep everything sociable, it's a beautiful space that you may just want to stay put in. But head out into the building and you'll discover a fitness room, courtyard, communal workspace and lounge, and a fabulous rooftop terrace – all at your fingertips. Just ten minutes from the heart of the city by car, bus or bike, getting around couldn't be easier. You can even opt to have breakfast each morning in the on-site restaurant.

Take Two

Rain Shower

Studious and stately, the prestigious university is the beating heart of Cambridge. Academics lounge on the college greens and students punt down the River Cam, but there's much more to this town than its scholarly roots. Cosy coffee shops, lively pubs, mouth-watering eateries and local shops selling everything from rare books to luxury fashions are a dime a dozen along the cobbled lanes. This ultra-modern apartment lies northwest of the bustling centre in the cool urban district of Eddington, just a ten-minute taxi, bike or bus ride away from the historic sights. Mid-century style and high-end design are front-and-centre here – sleek living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, Chromecast TVs, rainfall showers and a welcome basket full of goodies are just a few of the perks. The kitchen is packed with cooking gear and the comfy living area is the perfect spot to unwind in the evenings with a glass of wine. Better yet, take the relaxing alfresco on the private outdoor terrace before snuggling up in the sumptuous beds for some shut-eye. What really makes this place sing, however, are the communal spaces. From the high-tech co-working space and on-site restaurant to the small workout studio and rooftop terrace, there's plenty of shared spots where you can study, decompress, or simply hang out in style.

Codebreakers

Private Dryer

Located in Cambridge's newest neighbourhood of Eddington, this sleek one-bedroom apartment has plenty of room to relax after a day of exploring, either on the comfy sofa or on the large bed. Cambridge is a cyclists' city, and given that you're only a couple of miles from the rambling streets and quaint waterways that crisscross the centre, we'd recommend a bike to get around – especially given Eddington's eco credentials. The flat is decorated in a soothing colour scheme of dusty pink and oceanic blues that fill you with a sense of calm. Downstairs, you'll find an on-site bar, restaurant, coffee shop and co-working space. If you're in town for work, Cambridge Business Park and other campuses are nearby. In addition, it's a short taxi, bike or bus into the historic centre and well-located for access to Stansted Airport, a thirty-five-minute drive away.

	Nestled on the cusp of central Cambridge, a restful home steeply rising over three tiers, willingly caters to six seeking either whims of wonder or callings of career. Equally close to both Addenbrookes and Royal Papworth Hospitals and the city bustle, it stands as an excellent nest for exploration or work endeavors. Within this elegant haven, three serene bedrooms unfurl - one holding boasting rights to a private bathroom and walk-in shower. Lush greeneries welcome outside windows, reinforcing a poignant hush away from city clamour. A modern kitchen hums softly, wherein delicious memories patiently await creation with sundry appliances ready for culinary adventure. An inviting dining area extends an open invitation for shared nourishing moments. This safe neighbourhood shores up relaxation with ample leisure choices including a sports field, playground or local Bun Shop Cafe, all within easy walking distance.

Tranquillity Trumpington

Paid Parking On Street

Whether you’re visiting Cambridge for business or pleasure, this place makes for a comfortable home-from-home. There’s a desk for remote working and a paved garden for alfresco cups of tea, not to mention it’s ideally located – indie boutiques, restaurants and cafes are all within walking distance. It’ll take around fifteen minutes to stroll into the heart of town but if you need to take a trip out of the city, Cambridge train station is a five-minute drive away.

Time for Heroes

When you think of Cambridge, chances are you'll immediately picture the famous university. But there's more to this city than its academic history – lively bars, trendy restaurants and boutique shops lie alongside cosy pubs, independent cafes and antique bookstores. While punting down the River Cam and taking a peek at the prestigious colleges are an absolute must, a more off-the-beaten-track approach to your visit starts with a stay in this modern apartment, only a short taxi, cycle or bus ride away from the historic city centre. Everything you need is taken care of – there's fluffy bathrobes, a glossy kitchen filled with cookware, rainfall showers, Chromecast on the TV and even a welcome basket brimming with goodies. It's pretty stylish, too, inspired by the shapes, colours and designs of the 1960s and 1970s. We love the floor-to-ceiling windows as well as the private terrace – there's no better spot to unwind in the evenings than out there, a glass of wine in hand. And the cherry on top of it all is the long list of on-site amenities, including a small workout studio, shared rooftop terrace, communal courtyard, co-working space and even a restaurant when you don't feel like cooking. With so many places to spread out and relax and Cambridge's sights within easy reach, it's full marks from us for this contemporary pad.

The Imitation Game

Wheelchair Access

Set in a new, sustainable development in the northwest of Cambridge, this modern home is the opposite of the period buildings you may expect in this historic city. Avant-garde and sophisticated, it's a sleek and stylish space with all the independence of a self-contained flat, plus all the benefits of a hotel. You'll feel at home straight away, thanks to its wheelchair accessible open-plan layout, comfortable furnishings and striking modern styling. There's a small but perfectly formed kitchen area if you're cooking at home, as well as a little dining table and a cosy sofa. The shower room has grab rails and a seat, making it easy for everyone to use, and the king-size bed is super comfy. If you're feeling sociable, mingle in the communal guest lounge or head up to the roof terrace with a drink. Elsewhere in the building, there's a fitness room and you can opt to have breakfast each morning in the on-site restaurant. Just ten minutes from the heart of the city, getting around is easy too.

By the banks of the River Great Ouse, you’ll find leafy, tree-lined walking trails, serene woodlands, and a fabulous studio cottage. A five-mile drive from the ancient cathedral city of Ely, and just over thirteen to the cobbled streets of Cambridge, this home offers a country retreat with easy access to some of Cambridgeshire’s most beautiful built-up areas. In contrast to the rural and rugged surroundings, the interiors of this cottage are fresh, modern, and have a certain understated elegance. In the vast, open-plan living space, black metal beams support the vaulted ceiling. Scandi-style furniture beckons you in to relax in the lounge area, while industrial-style hanging bulbs usher you towards the kitchen island to prepare a rustic, country meal. While you’ve got the entire countryside to explore, you’ve also got a private garden with a cute dining set on the patio. Light up the barbecue and grill something fresh for supper. And after the stars come out, we think this is the perfect spot to pop a bottle of chilled champagne and say cheers to country living.

Ancient Oak

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Wake up to serene green views from your Juliet balcony. Light pours in through the balcony doors in both the bedroom and the living space that making for a bright and uplifting interior. Lovingly decorated with tasteful artwork, antique adornments and curated flowers, it's the type of place in which you'll quickly feel at home. 

Sit down for lunch in the sunny and ever-so-charming dining area by the window – complete with a sleek white kitchen for plating up your home-cooking perfection.

Welcome Hamper

Just outside the village of Little Bentley, a five-minute walk from the local pub and a ten-minute drive from Colchester, this rustic barn is nestled on a working farm. Previously a popular children's café with fun play areas both indoors and out, it's an ancient barn that retains a great deal of rustic charm. 

Quirky and imaginative, it's a family home with an emphasis on keeping the little ones entertained (and safe – it's fully child-proofed). The huge living space is dominated at one end by a log burner, with aged leather sofas and throws perfect for cosying up on winter nights, while the other end features a super cool, Scandi-style kitchen – complete with a professional café coffee machine that's been left in situ so you can play barista. Fun things about this room include the chalkboard wall, a movie projector for film nights and an indoor hammock chair.  

One of the bedrooms is aimed at kids, with twin beds, funky lights, chalkboards, toys and books. But as if that wasn't enough, they have a whole play area in the main space, where imaginations can run wild thanks to a wooden teepee, a wooden shop and a range of homemade superhero capes to choose from. There's more outside with a willow tunnel and mud kitchen. As the sun sets, toast some marshmallows around the fire pit before heading to your cosy beds.

If you're looking for somewhere that embraces slow country living yet has all the little luxuries you'll need for a getaway, this converted goat shed is sure to do the trick. Situated on the grounds of a family-run farm dating back as far as the 1300s, we think it's the perfect bolthole for a romantic, restful weekend in the great outdoors.

Inside, vaulted ceilings sport original wooden beams, while enormous glass walls flood the space with sunlight. Books and board games line the shelves, cushy sofas are perfect for snuggling and a delightful wood burner keeps everything toasty warm on chilly evenings. We love the small but well-equipped kitchen – you'll have everything you need to rustle up dinner – and the sumptuous bathtub is just the ticket after an invigorating walk through the countryside. On summer days, take your relaxing onto the private courtyard garden, gathering around the fire pit and firing up the barbecue for an alfresco feast when you grow peckish.

Spend sunny afternoons strolling around the farm, admiring the prehistoric ponds – they're some of the last remaining ones in the country. This home is nestled in the heart of the Brecks, where wild forests, craggy heaths and twisted pines are rife for rambling. It sits along the Peddars Way – ideal for walkers, cyclers and horseback riders travelling along the ancient route – plus it's within easy reach of Norwich and an hour's drive from Norfolk's stunning beaches when you fancy a day by the sea.

The Goat Shed

Pod Coffee Machine

Access to Beach

Hidden away next to ancient woodland in rural Essex, this cabin is a British getaway that overflows with quirk and charm.

Inside, classically styled furnishings, such as the tufted Chesterfield, oak dining table and the four-poster bed that's come straight out of a fairytale, rub shoulders with the eclectic animal portraits that dot the wall, the antler chandelier and antique-style gramophone — which actually works in case you're in the mood for a boogie. The copper rolltop bathtub that lies just next to the bed is another decadent touch that we can't help but salute.

The home's exterior is full of pleasant surprises, too. When the weather's warm enough — and even when it's not — you can sit out in the home's hot tub, before drying off on one of the egg chairs next to the roaring fire pit. It's possible to hear the sounds of wildlife from the neighbouring forest, as well as the occasional roar from Colchester Zoo, which is less than ten minutes' drive from the home.

Elsewhere in the local area, the huge Abberton Reservoir takes five minutes to reach in the car and offers spectacular birdwatching opportunities. The local village of Layer de la Haye, with its pair of pubs and farm shop, is a ten-minute walk away, too.

Outside, pop open a bottle of chilled white or rosé wine and sink into the jacuzzi while the barbecue heats up.

Dining outside with beautiful views laid out before you is utterly idyllic, especially when the sun starts to sink in the sky. 

If you feel the urge to explore, there’s plenty to see and do in the vicinity. The villa is a four-minute drive from Toppesfield village, where you can enjoy a meal in the community-owned pub. Finchingfield, the most photographed village in Essex is 10 minutes drive. For history enjoy a stroll around Castle Hedingham with its thatched cottages and amazing Norman castle. Saffron Walden, a medieval town – is thirty-six minutes away. There you’ll find a wealth of independent shops, cafes and restaurants around the buzzy market square as well as beautiful historic buildings, gardens, museum and art gallery. 

This is a memorable home for romantic visits to this picturesque area on the Essex/Suffolk border. Make sure you take a bottle of the vineyard’s award winning wine home with you – it’s the perfect memento.

Your hosts have spent the best part of three years restoring this stylish space to create a super chic retreat in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. As a former threshing barn, this home offers spectacular surroundings, with exposed brick walls, seventeenth-century beams and sky-high vaulted ceilings that make it a fantastic choice for larger groups of friends or family who want to get away to celebrate a special occasion.

This rustic barn conversion is a delightful place to stay in the Essex countryside. It has been lovingly restored, and retains its original wooden beams, which give the home a traditional, cottage-like feel. There are public footpaths nearby, meaning you’ll be able to make the most of exploring the surrounding countryside. After a busy day hiking, kick back on the plump sofas with a drink in hand, and warm up in front of the wood burner.

Chilterns Charm

Set within 100 acres of parkland, these former stables put open countryside walks and wildlife on your doorstep. Wander across the fields to the deserted medieval village of Godwick, where a ruined church tower juts out from the ground. It’s also a half-hour drive to Wells-Next-the-Sea, a pretty seaside town in the Norfolk Coast AONB. The 19th-century stable block has been transformed into a cosy country bolthole for a family or group of friends. You can spot the village’s old church tower from your private garden, where a patio provides a place to sit in the sun and fire up the gas barbecue, and a vast lawn stretches before you. Or, head inside to the sunny kitchen diner where dining is set for the whole group. Scandi-chic interiors make for a relaxing living room, set around a traditional wood-burning stove should the weather turn chilly. Bedrooms blend in with the estate’s wonderful ladscape, with autumnal tree motifs on feature walls lulling you off to sleep. The only sounds around here are the swish of towering trees and birdsong in the morning.

With a prime position on Dunstable's High Street, this apartment in a 19th-century building is a peaceful enclave away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Step inside and you're greeted by an interior dominated by cleansing shades of white and muted greys, with only the odd houseplant and piece of artwork adding a little colour and character. Stylish parquet flooring sits underfoot, while the glossy kitchen is a triumph of minimalist design. 

The home gets plenty of natural light from the tall triple glazed windows on either side of the space, but if you want to feel the sunshine on your skin, you also have the option of heading out to the building's communal courtyard, which has seating and a table, plus free cycle hire for you to explore.

Being right in the centre of town, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants lying nearby in case you're not in the mood to cook. Even though it's possible to get into London in around an hour on the train, there's a wealth of beautiful countryside around the home, too — Dunstable Downs and Whipsnade Estate are only five minutes' drive, for example.
