England

Our trusty team have travelled from the toe of Cornwall to the tip of the Yorkshire Dales in search of England’s most characterful places to stay, discovering country cottages dressed in rambling roses, Scandi-chic hideaways on mountain slopes and contemporary retreats for soothing beachside breaks. Every single one has been personally inspected by us, so whether you’re off to bask at the Devon coast, walk loops in the Lake District or cosy up in the Cotswolds, you’ll find a place to stay that’s packed with personality.
