If you’re wanting to get back to travelling again but want to keep things close to home for your first trip away, a UK staycation is the ideal jump off point and the guys at Plum Guide have some of the coolest looking properties on their books. Check out our pick of 8 of the most out of this world properties to stay at in the UK this spring / summer below:
ISLE OF BLUE, ISLE OF MAN
With stretches of blue as far as the eye can see, this property is a luxurious escape for those wanting fresh air, unparalleled views and the seaside lifestyle all in one. Spread across two floors, huge windows invite the sunshine inside all day long – one of the perks of a south-facing property. While neutral interiors make the home even brighter, giving way to a laid-back beach house theme throughout.
LILYPADS & LIMESTONE, MILNTHORPE
Nestled in thirty-five acres of verdant fields, this wonderfully renovated farmhouse is overflowing with rustic luxury from the offset. Woodlands, streams, ponds, and limestone clint pavements make up this unique landscape, with your glorious stone cottage at the middle of it all. We love the outdoor seating on the lawns, as well as patios and even a garden kitchen with its very own pizza oven. Great for spring / summer breaks.
PORTWRINKLE RETREAT
Love being beside the seaside? Then this elegant, contemporary home in the little village of Portwrinkle, Cornwall, is the one for you. Set over three floors, all facing the sea just steps away, it’s part of a gleaming new development of a handful of striking, contemporary properties. Decorated in greys and blacks, with balconies and terraces boasting clear glass balustrades, it’s a wonderful location with some pretty eye-catching added luxuries.
LUXURIOUS LIGHTHOUSE, CUMBRIA
This breathtaking lighthouse in Walney, Cumbria, really is one of a kind. Perfectly suited to nature lovers, this cottage stands beside a lighthouse in the heart of the South Walney Nature Reserve at the southern tip of Cumbria. Staying here, you’re surrounded by wildlife, with sea views as well as those of the nature reserve. At high tide, you may spot grey seals bobbing off the coast.
TWO LOGS COTTAGE, NORFOLK
This period house in the village of Langham in Norfolk offers the chance to explore the local village hall and cosy pubs, but with such a striking home setting, you might not feel the need to leave. Intricate stonework with red-brick frames around the windows, a terracotta roof and a chimney stack – it’s exactly what you’d hope from an English country abode.
WOODLAND WISH COTTAGE, WEST YORKSHIRE
The frontage of Woodland Wish Cottage is fully glazed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the woodland and river. However you plan on spending your visit, you’ll find that you lose hours here and there as you simply gaze out at the view. This is a relaxing retreat, the ideal spot to get away from the hustle and bustle and really unwind. The Japanese deep soak bathtub is a marvel, keeping the water hotter for longer so you can luxuriate for hours after a hike.
COTSWOLD CABIN, CIRENCESTER
Located in the centre of Cotswold Water Park – the property is in an excellent spot to dive into the action. From kayaking to wakeboarding and jet skiing – there’s plenty to do on the lake. For those wanting to explore this area of outstanding natural beauty, the picturesque village of South Cerney is a half-hour walk away. Make a stop in one of the lovely pubs, pick up supplies and simply soak in the countryside charm.
CADAIR IDRIS COTTAGE, WALES
The majestic mountain views of Cadair Idris really are a sight to behold and are the beautiful backdrop to this mesmerising cottage. Clad in Virginia creeper that turns a stunning fiery red in the autumn, this cottage, surrounded by farmland, is as quaint as it gets. It’s a paradise for bird watchers with an array of wildlife, or if you’re a fan of planes, you can enjoy watching them from the garden as the valley is a training area for aircraft.
