Every care has been taken to modernise this Victorian cottage without diminishing its period charm. We love the old-world touches, like the cast iron heaters, sparkling chandeliers and ornate vintage mirrors. Escaping from the hustle and bustle of the big city is a no-brainer here. Throw open your windows in the morning, and you’ll hear birdsong – you might even see a passing deer or two. Whip up a quick breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, and then put on your walking shoes. Miles of open countryside await right on your doorstep – the cottage is at the end of a drive where the village gives way to the natural world. You can spend entire days hiking the patchwork of fields and farms crisscrossed by a web of brooks. You’ll quickly work up an appetite after all that exploring. You can grab a meal in the village pub, the local chippy or the Tandoori restaurant. However, if you want more variety, a five-minute drive will take you to nearby Ramsbottom, where you'll have a much wider choice of cafes, restaurants, and food shops. A thirty-minute drive will have you in central Manchester, in the heart of all that the city has to offer. In the evening, fill the bathtub and feel the relaxation wash over you.

This is one of those rare homes that are just as relaxing outside as it is inside. The interior of the garden apartment has been finished in a cleansing shade of white that feels instantly soothing and there's also a fireplace in the living room that's ideal for gathering around during the colder months. Out through the back door, however, is a wonderfully green space where you can sit out underneath the pergola and feel the sun on the skin — we're nothing if optimistic. There are tall trees lining the borders that offer a little bit of privacy as well as flourishing plant beds. If it gives you a bit of inspiration to head out and explore more of the great outdoors, you're in a wonderful position. Coastal walking routes in Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in seven minutes' drive, while Lake Windemere takes thirty-five minutes to reach.

This home is a superb base for a family wanting to explore the Lake District while staying in style. It’s been lovingly renovated and redecorated, shaped into a calming, welcoming home-from-home. It has the feel of a traditional cosy cottage but all the modern amenities you might want for a stress-free stay. There’s a patio outside and a home cinema, so little ones will be happy. We think grown-ups will enjoy the elegant kitchen and dining space, as well as the deep bathtub – perfect after a day of hiking. The home is in the quaint village of Newton-in-Cartmel, surrounded by rolling hills and scenic countryside. What more could you hope for?

Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the picturesque village of Langcliffe sits like a gateway to the natural beauty of the region. And this boutique cottage (just moments from the village green) is perfectly positioned for an authentic rural getaway. 

Set across two floors, the owners have styled this cottage to feel like a cosy sanctuary. From the vintage furnishings, art and books to the homely comforts, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. So whether you’re here for an adventurous retreat or a quiet countryside escape, you’ll find everything you could need to settle into this stylish space. 

On the ground floor, the sitting room has been thoughtfully designed for relaxing, reading and movie nights, while the dining room is the perfect spot for intimate gatherings. Upstairs, the luxurious bath and bedrooms invite you to savour the bliss of doing nothing. And when you’re rested and ready to explore, you’ll find the spectacular beauty of the Yorkshire Dales on your doorstep. Scaleber Force Waterfall is just a ten–minute drive away, while the market town of Settle is only a twenty-minute walk away,

With an elevated position, this apartment has wonderful views over the golf course and Morecambe Bay. The home is housed in a historic building dating from 1897, so as you'd expect, this home has character features such as double-height vaulted ceilings. We love the mezzanine games room with its pool table, and there's plenty of room to entertain your family and friends. There's a claw-footed bath in the main bedroom's en-suite, too, perfect for a soak after a stroll around the estate's 4 acres of grounds. There's also a shared barbecue area with tables and chairs – ideal for warm summer evenings. Other attractions nearby include the Brown Robin Nature Reserve and the town of Grange-over-Sands.

With oak beams and flagstone floors, this Grade II listed cottage promises a charming stay for families and friends. We love the flexible bed set-ups, but the ceiling may be too low for some in the bathroom. How about relaxing by the log burner after a scenic dog walk? You'll have country pubs and boutiques on your doorstep in Settle. While we recommend hiring a car to tour the Yorkshire Dales, finding an empty parking spot nearby might be tricky.

This mighty Georgian home in the heart of Clitheroe is actually two apartments, each with its own kitchen and living room. This unique set-up could be perfect for two families holidaying together or a big group of friends. Whatever the party, however, we're pretty sure that everybody will fall for this address. As is common with properties from the era, there are high ceilings and tall sash windows, which have the cumulative effect of making the interior bright and inviting. The kitchens are both large, well-equipped and have been given a sleek finish, and there's even a wood-burner in one of the living rooms for the colder months. If the weather's being kind, a patio with bistro-style seating awaits just outside the back door and there are plenty of rural attractions in the local area, too. Pendle Hill and the adjoining sculpture trail can be reached in five minutes in the car, while in the opposite direction, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty gives you plenty of rambling routes.

Fenced Property

Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this characterful home sits in the peaceful village of Ingleton. Surrounded by idyllic countryside, perhaps you'll take your family for a hike along the Craven Fault or the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. Alternatively, what about an outing to the nearby White Scar Caves? There are just so many ways to connect with the great outdoors here.

Step inside this 400-year-old quarryman's cottage and see how the thoughtful interior design complements its original features. Every day, you'll open your eyes to wood-beamed ceilings and enjoy breakfast in bed. In chilly weather, we imagine you'll be slipping out of muddy boots after a brisk walk, then warming your hands by the fire. During the summertime, there's nothing better than preparing afternoon tea in your galley kitchen before nibbling scones and biscuits out on this south-facing patio. What's more, even dogs are welcome, so you can snuggle up for a movie night with all your loved ones.

Connect with Yorkshire's great outdoors and clear your mind at this seventeenth-century farmhouse set within a sprawling 3000-acre estate with a historic manor at it's heart.

A wonderland of meadows, woods, moorland, reservoirs, and rivers, spend your day walking, cycling, picnicking, and wild swimming. And there's plenty of activities to delve into should organised fun be more your thing. The estate is home to England's biggest rewilding project, and the hosts organise foraging, forest bathing, and fire temple events (it's a thing). 

Should you be after a spot of rejuvenation, search out the estate's wellness centre with a luxurious shared gym and pool. Or if you'd rather keep things alfresco, the woodland sauna should do the trick.

When thoughts turn to food, there's something to suit all tastes. Head to the estate's bistro in the walled garden for light, organic bites –⁠ it's also the setting for your complimentary free breakfast each morning. Follow the woodland path leading to a gastro-pub (seven minutes on foot) for hearty upper-crust grub. Jump in the car to the picture perfect village of Skipton (an eight-minute drive) for afternoon tea. Or head back home to fire up the barbecue and soak up those vistas from the terrace –⁠ just imagine that view at sunset. 

An equally inviting home to spend a winter's evening, get toasty beside the crackling fire in the galleried living room, while kids spill out into the snug room up on the mezzanine. And when it's finally time to lay your head, take your pick from three whimsical king-sized bedrooms. Whichever you choose, you'll be sure to bank a serene night's sleep here.

Back to Nature

In the charming village of Austwick, this cosy cottage is the perfect retreat after a day exploring the Yorkshire Dales right on your doorstep. Perfectly located, you'll find more picturesque walking trails nearby than you can shake a hiking pole at (maps can be picked up within the village). Alternatively, jump in the car and reach White Scar Cave in less than fifteen minutes or visit the beautiful glacial lake of Malam Tarn, only 7-miles from home. Back inside, the original wooden beams and stone fireplace will soon have you feeling all warm and relaxed. Sink into a brown chesterfield sofa, cradle a cup of hot cocoa, and settle down for a delightful evening in front of the crackling log burning stove – we can think of nothing better after an adventurous day wandering the natural landscape. In warmer months, sprawl out into the back garden and enjoy a bottle of fizz while overlooking views of the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. As dinner time arrives, ensure you take the short five-minute drive down to The Courtyard Dairy, where you can taste local cheeses and sample their cakes and buns while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. Return home with your top picks, and fix together a wine and cheese night in the country-style dining area. Or if you feel like handing over all catering duties during your stay, the cottage is next door to a traditional Yorkshire pub, while an award-winning hotel and restaurant is a short walk up the road.

This Casterton cottage has lived many lives in its rich history, most notably as the school Charlotte Brontë and her sisters attended in the 1800s. To stay here is to stay in literary history. Recently renovated, the cottage has a new life as a home where high ceilings meets joyous splashes of colour and comfortable furnishings. All the home comforts are here, and the cottage is hugged by a charming little village. A five-minute drive away lies the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, where you're sure to pick up charming souvenirs and fresh local produce. Further afield, take to the water at Lake Windermere, a half-hour drive from your front door.

Overlooking the clear waters of a deep lake that's famous for its scuba diving and open water swimming, this charming home is a real find. Built on the edge of the former quarry, it's one of only a handful of lodge-style homes in this exclusive spot. It's bound to appeal to lovers of the great outdoors, with walking and cycling routes nearby, and it's just a stone's throw from the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It's set in a private lane, and while we love the stylish, modern interiors, we couldn't get enough of the lake views from the terrace. With a private hot tub to sink into and a fire pit, it's the perfect spot as the sun sets. Inside, there's a contemporary fireplace and a huge TV, so getting cosy shouldn't be a problem, and we love the sociable, open-plan layout. You can cook in the fabulous kitchen and eat at the dining table – perhaps with the bi-fold doors open. Here you'll be just a twenty-five-minute drive from Lancaster and Morecombe, with the little village of Over Kellet just down the road. It's just fifteen minutes by car to the vast beaches of nearby Morecombe Bay.
