England

Two family and dog friendly retreats for lovers of the countryside, birdwatchers and those wishing to escape the crowds

Comfortable redbrick cottage with views on the Heydon Hall estate. It’s delightfully rural, yet close to Reepham for pubs and shops

A very tastefully restored old stone stable on a gloriously rural estate with woodland gardens, lake and a deer park

A seaside inn on Babbacombe Bay with views of sea and sky, rooms to feel happy in, a spa and homely, hearty dining

An iconic Cotswold pub, restored to perfection, with a cracking bar, elevated pub food and some super-smart bedrooms in pub and extension

Between Penzance and Helston and close to sandy beaches is a sweet space for four. Good for young families and all garden lovers

Restored stone barn on a farm in the Lake District National Park, with views of fields and woods and an excellent pub nearby

Stylishly refurbished gastro inn on historic market square with gorgeous bedrooms, local ciders and some rather tasty food

A striking 200-year-old coaching inn in a sleepy village with a classic, traditional pub feel, superb food and wines, pretty bedrooms

A small and stylish townhouse retreat in leafy Folkestone with excellent bedrooms and a terrace for breakfast in summer

Furniture from home-grown wood, reclaimed tiles - beautiful. The Jurassic Coast is near, Bridport's antiques, too. Cycle, walk, spot birds

Get away from it all in the heart of Northumberland National Park, with walks leaving from your door and incredible dark skies at night

Lovely small hotel in quirky market town surrounded by miles of stunning country – pretty rooms, tasty food and fine ales wait

Independence at one end of the house with your own sitting room opening onto a courtyard garden. Good pub for food a few minutes' walk away

Come for a bright, roomy, uber-green and accessible larch-clad space with garden and pond in pretty countryside

A charming transformation of a once boarded-up pub in a pretty village setting, beside the river Wye in the heart of the Peak District

Such a special place, right on the historic Georgian quay – a cosy, friendly place with dogs, children and families welcome in all parts
