The wildflower napper

Places with a self-seeded air, like a meadow that blooms with a rainbow of colours in spring. You can wander the gardens and the rooms, finding delightful oddities in both as you go. These quirky places to stay with eclectic design, all inspected and selected by us, are perfect for a holiday surrounded by beautiful gardens. We think you’ll really hit it off together. If you have a specific requirement in mind, don’t forget to use the “Sort & refine” button to find your true love.
