The Kingfisher

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Appledore Heath, Ashford

A delightfully quaint bolthole set in the beautiful Kent countryside, this home's modern black facade is complemented by a rustic and quirky interior. Glass-fronted and beaming with sunlight all year round, the bright living space is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive.

The Grain Store

• 4 bedrooms

Saint Ann (Without), Lewes

Lie low for a while amid the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park – best seen through the vast south-facing picture windows of this meticulously converted barn. Winding your way up the country lane leading to this home, you could feel a world away from everything.

Standen Farm Lower

• 18 guests

• 9 bedrooms

Benenden, Kent

Spread over three buildings, this converted farm dates back to the 17th century and maintains plenty of historic charm. Designed specifically with families in mind, you can have a multi-generational shindig here – two guests have the dairy to themselves (with its ground floor bedroom, it's perfect for older couples), while the farmhouse, spread over three floors, can house up to twelve (with ten adults), and the granary up to ten (with six adults) – the latter two buildings have living areas, as well.
