Cosy and Spectacular Getaways for Winter – Luxury Staycations UK
As 2022 winds down, we’ve hand-selected a phenomenal selection of luxury staycations in the UK for your next stay. Explore the wilderness, enjoy Christmas by the sea, or chill out in a hot tub on a historic manor. Our list guarantees cosy interiors, unforgettable experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
Landmark Trust
The Landmark Trust is a charity that identifies historic places in danger and carefully restores them. The buildings are available for holidays and can be enjoyed by all. With 200 buildings across Britain and a few in Italy, there is a spectacular selection of properties to choose from. Landmark offers a building selection ranging from countryside cottages to ancient castles and towers on coastal paths.
Staying at a Landmark building entails waking up to breath-taking views, rolling hills, seascapes, woodlands and more. Spruced up with elegant and cosy interior design, these properties are in high demand. The Landmark team is now accepting bookings into 2024!
Wilderness Reserve
Wilderness Reserve offers its guests 8000 acres of woodland, lakes, hilly pastures and an eclectic collection of historic buildings in Suffolk. Each home is lovingly restored and designed to boast charming character. Restored with the aim of protecting English nature, these homes make the perfect family getaway or romantic retreat. Your stay at a Woodland Reserve property also promises unforgettable experiences – including access to over 40 distinct activities to make the most of the open spaces, lakes and woodland.
The 19th-century Georgian Manor House, Sibton Park, is our favourite. Built in 1840, the 14-bedroom venue was sensitively restored and lovingly furnished. Details include hand-painted Chinese wallpaper in the Drawing Room, fine antique furniture and individually decorated bedrooms. The orangery seats up to 150 guests, making it a perfect wedding or large family destination. During your stay, you’ll look out across a rolling landscape of pasture, woodland and a serpentine lake.
Luxury Cotswold Rentals
From classic Cotswold cottages to manors and mansions, Luxury Cotswold Rentals offers luxury self-catered holiday cottage experiences. Situated in remarkable, historic locations and immaculately decorated, many of these stays offer a unique retreat from the daily grind. Guests also enjoy access to a unique concierge service.
If you’re looking for some of the finest English Manor Houses in England, including rectories, halls and estates, take a look at this curated selection from Luxury Cotswold Rentals. Staying at one of these manors is exclusively reserved for the well-heeled, with average weekly stays commanding up to five-figure budgets.
Alternatively, guests can browse a selection of cool, classic English cottages. A hand-selected offering of charming and gorgeous cottages is ready for your next dog-friendly rural escape. This includes the stylish and romantic retreat at Congrove Barns, a private two-bedroom holiday cottage close to Bath in Avon, England. Comprised of twin barns, the living barn houses an open-plan dining room and fully equipped kitchen. This cosy cottage also includes a sleeping barn, gated gardens, a wood-burning stove and a hot tub.
