Britain

One barn, beautifully and sustainably converted into three delightful places to stay in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

A peaceful place of history, eccentricity and authenticity with church and garden views; medieval Dunster and Exmoor on the doorstep

Stylish, family-friendly hotel on the side of a peaceful Cotswold hill with big views, well-priced rooms and a 400-acre estate to explore

A bright and spacious cottage set against a backdrop of woodland for days spent happily reading by the wood-burner or lunch on the sun deck

A cosy retreat, part of a traditional Welsh farmhouse in a rural spot with a private patio and hot tub for far-reaching views towards Eryri

A pretty thatched 16th-century cottage on a quiet road in a small hamlet by the river Avon, along which there are lovely tree-lined walks

A sprint from London: a Cotswolds pub modernised with sympathy and care. Happy staff, organic ales and food, gorgeous rooms

Stables turned into bright, comfortable holiday homes in countryside near Battle - for couples and families, whose dogs are very welcome too

A peaceful place to stay with wonderful walks, other islands to visit, great food and sunsets to linger over in the gardens or on the beach

A listed townhouse with 16th-century roots in lovely little Wells with a pretty garden, just a short walk to the magnificent cathedral

An 18th-century stone cottage sitting in the glorious Yorkshire Dales. Nature-lovers and walkers will be well pleased and so will their dog

A very special design-led garden apartment on the ground floor of an elegant 1835 house on one of the prettiest crescents in the city

Beautiful, fresh townhouse with spoiling touches just outside the city walls of Canterbury. Whitstable close by, eateries a walk away

Tucked at the bottom of a long track and surrounded by a gorgeous natural landscape, is this generous end-slice of a 17th-century stone farm

Cosy terraced cottage in a small village near lovely pubs, restaurants and independent shops; Southwold, Aldeburgh and the coast are near

Hideaway at the bottom of the garden with a little courtyard and far-reaching views; walk to the village pub or take a day trip to Bath

Your own wing of this fine old Hall with lovely gardens which you are free to roam, and with views over the Pennines on fine days
