Rural Retreat Barn, Castlemorton
Nestled at the foot of the Malvern Hills in the heart of Castlemorton Common, this converted barn offers everything you might need to switch off and unplug from the world.
You can enjoy a morning coffee before setting off on one of the numerous walking routes in the Malvern Hills, or if you want a more leisurely break there are museums, vineyards, and National Trust properties nearby.
At the end of the day, you can relax in the warm waters of the wood fired hot tub and enjoy the countryside views. The private deck provides the perfect spot to star gaze, but if the evenings are chilly, the wood burner inside is the perfect place to de-stress.

Blue House on the Beach, Camber
Ever dreamt of having a getaway where you never have to leave the beach? This beautiful Airbnb in Camber is located on the foreshore of Camber Sands, meaning the sea is right on your doorstep.
It’s located within easy access of London, but you’d never know, because the golden sand beach and cobbled streets in the local Port town make you feel as if you’re in a whole other world.
You can immerse yourself in water activities, explore the sand dunes, or relax on the decked terrace and enjoy the ever-changing coastal view. If the English weather isn’t on your side or for those cooler evenings, the log burner is the ideal place to keep warm whilst you watch the stormy seas from the living room.
