Cottages

We’ve all got a creative streak in us. Admittedly it is buried a little deeper in some than in others, but it’s definitely there - and sometimes all that quiet voice needs is a little bit of space, encouragement and inspiration. So if you’re looking for your next project but you haven’t yet found your muse, take a look at some of these gorgeous One Off Places.

The phrase ‘good for the soul’ probably means vastly varying things to different people, especially in relation to a holiday. Some may envisage rural escapism, others may picture a deserted beach, and perhaps your idea of a restorative retreat involves sunrise yoga, luxurious spa treatments or a reconnection with nature. Whether you’re looking for adventure and activity or silence and serenity, we’ve got an excellent selection of One Off Places that will help you soothe your senses…

It’s been a tough few months. And although the people of the United Kingdom have done an incredible job of turning negatives into positives (bread-baking, knitting, yoga, creative writing, touch-typing - you name it, we’ve done it), lockdown has been hard and we’re all looking forward to regaining some freedom.

Once we do, we’re probably going to want to travel further afield than our local park (as lovely as that might be) but we may want to ease ourselves in with caution, so here are some of the UK seaside ‘staycations’ that we at One Off Places would recommend…

Here in the UK, we're inching closer, little by little, to the gradual lifting of lockdown.  As at today, the self-catering holiday industry is hoping to be able to restart, in some form or another, in early July.  Of course, things may change, but in our opinion, there's no harm in a bit of dreaming, in the hope of the dream becoming reality.  Today's blog post highlights four of our favourite remote properties, three in Scotland, and one in Greece.  Lots of people will be in search of remote self-catering properties where they can enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh air, and crucially, a change of scene!  We have lots of these options on One Off Places, but here are a few to spark the imagination.

After a busy, draining and seemingly non-stop few months I was certainly in need of some R&R and that is exactly what I got at Candlestick Cottage, one of our newest One Off Places.
