Tom’s Cottage

Sponsored post | Get away in the UK with Classic Cottages

Iona Bower October 4, 2022

Classic Cottages have an idyllic collection of holiday cottages across the UK - just perfect for that well-deserved getaway any time of the year. Choose from cosy, traditional cottages tucked away in the countryside, to coastal escapes ideal for a restorative few days’ break.

So, where can you go? Cornwall and Devon are always a wonderful choice, whether you’re craving the coast or the countryside, the beautiful landscapes of Somerset and Dorset are rather special, and you’re sure to spend an unforgettable holiday exploring the magic of Sussex, Pembrokeshire, the Isle of Wight or the Cotswolds, to name just a few.

In our opinion, the different seasons all have something special to offer to your UK getaway. Spring is a wonderful time to spend idyllic days exploring and celebrating the return of outdoor living, to admire colourful flowers and hear the buzz of wildlife in the countryside, and feel the sun on your skin by the sea. Summer is made for those salt-kissed getaways, sure to create magical memories for years to come. Autumn brings the opportunity to sneak off to a cottage for a few days (or more!), perfect for taking some time to unwind, discovering a new corner of the UK, and crunching through autumn leaves on a woodland walk. Winter is often looked over for a UK holiday, but we love this time of year for wrapping up warm and wandering along tranquil beaches, finding sweet cafes for a hot chocolate and warm and welcoming pubs for delicious lunches, spending cosy evenings curled up by the fire, and simply sinking into relaxation mode for a little while.

Turner Hall

Looking for some inspiration on where to stay? Well, you’re simply spoilt for choice! A few of our favourites include Acorn Barn, a dreamy retreat nestled in the heart of the glorious South Downs National Park - perfect for exploring any time of the year; admire the beauty of the Cotswolds and discover the picturesque Cotswold villages with a few days away at charming Stonewell Cottage; spend an idyllic weekend at Wayside Cottage, a gorgeous thatched retreat nestled in a sweet Dorset village; gather the family together for an unforgettable holiday at magical Turner Hall, tucked away in a woodland glade in Dartmoor, and escape to peaceful seclusion at Tom’s Cottage, a beautiful Cornish cottage, close to the glorious north coast and surrounded by oh-so-lovely countryside.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
