50+ UK Stylish & Cosy Countryside & Coastal Cottages
Rural getaways, contemporary cottages & romantic hideaways where you can get away from it all.
It’s time to share another list of UK staycation spots from my little black book. This time - the cosy countryside and coastal cottages I dream of staying in. These are all scattered across the UK, based in the countryside, small towns or beside the sea, offering you a brief respite from city life. Some of them are snug, romantic nests perfect for a couple, others are perfectly suited to a small family, while some are larger properties for family gatherings or weekends away with groups of friends.
There’s nothing better than retreating to a warm and cosy cottage, where you can light the fire, snuggle up on an armchair and gaze at the views out the windows - although it can be tricky to find cottages that are also stylish and design-led. All of the properties on this list will appease anyone with an eye for design, whether you prefer more contemporary or traditional interiors. I’ve purposefully curated a list of cottages with a range of pricing - some are luxury properties designed for special trips away whereas others are ideal for inprompt cosy getaways for two.
This list took a long time to compile (I’ve literally been adding to it on the Notes on my phone for years) and was very time consuming to write up and source images for, therefore it is available for my paid subscribers only. Sign up using the button below for just £5 a month or £50 a year.
