1 of 8 Take a winter escape to the Scottish highlands and stay at the secluded Glen Dye estate. The Lodge – constructed in the 1890s for the caretakers of the main house – accommodates six and is situated on the banks of the River Dye.
Whip up meals in the spacious kitchen with ingredients grown on the estate or unwind in the snug sitting room with a wood burner. Guests also have exclusive access to the River Cabin, where you can wild swim, cook on the wood-burning stove or cosy up with cake and coffee.
Besides the array of holiday cottages, there's also a 'Discovery and Adventure centre' and thousands of acres of forests, moorland and mountains to explore.
2 of 8 For those who appreciate high-end architectural design, the Black Cabin near Presteigne in Powys offers a unique getaway. Attached to a barn, its dark and atmospheric interior coupled with double height space creates a snug, intimate atmosphere.
The decor is an eclectic mix of Persian silk tapestries, taxidermy and 1960s furnishings, all adding to the luxury feel. It can accommodate up to four guests (ideally two adults and two children).
A cosy and charming pub, The Harp Inn, is just a 15-minute stroll away.
3 of 8 Escape the hustle and bustle at this cosy lakeside retreat in Brinkley, Newmarket, featuring wood-panelled walls and enough room for two. At the Bears House, you can relax in the hot tub, row boats under the stars to 'Duck Island' (home to numerous ducks and their ducklings), or simply immerse yourself in nature.
There's a 'yoga deck' situated on a treehouse platform, a gazebo for picnics and outdoor games to keep families entertained. The nearest pub is a mere five-minute walk away.
4 of 8 Tucked away in a secluded woodland clearing in Wendover Woods, this hideaway is built in the style of a traditional tabernacle and is just right for two. The cabin is open plan with a wood-burning hot tub, hammock and fire pit.
You can explore the leisurely trails of the woods, the nearby Grand Union Canal or the Chilterns which are just five miles away. For a fantastic day trip, the historic city of Oxford is an hour away, or the market town of Wendover is brimming with independent shops and eateries.
