Three very special places to stay on one glorious estate. Gather those whose company you enjoy and immerse yourselves in beauty and history

Thoughtful red brick barn conversion on a working farm. Peaceful, practical and within easy reach of outdoor activities

Warm interiors, pretty bedrooms and excellent breakfasts – good value in a very handy central spot

Grand and old and filled with history, the estate and such a pretty house are a tonic, as are the well-tended grounds and parkland

A honey-hued family home clad with vines and roses with a swimming pool and heaps of space – perfect for families

A renovated bright apartment with lots of space, a hop, skip and jump away from the shingle beach of seaside-jolly Deal

Beautifully connected, engagingly old-fashioned London pad, with a garden. Head out for Vauxhall Park, the Tate, Westminster...

Canoeing on the Tamar, valley walks galore, with the woodland garden a sea of daffodils in the spring. A magical self-catering hideaway

Escape your cares here, move from terrace to terrace tracking the sun's progress and dive into the sea from your own swimming platform

In a mellowstone village with a jolly pub, a super raftered barn with generous touches. Friendly owners next door know the Cotswolds well...

By a bubbling brook in the Mendips, close to Bath and Bristol, a wonderfully revived and welcoming inn with smart rooms and scrumptious food

Peaceful Highland hideaway on a wooded lochside: spy dolphins and otters, stargaze, and soak up the deep silence

A romantic cottage for two in the Pentland Hills, with views for miles and your own private garden with a wood-fired hot tub

A stunner of a setting for this restored croft house with long views to a sparkling loch and a lively village nearby. Good beaches too
