The Staycation Edition Part Two: Our Pick of Self-Catering Homes

The Staycation Edition Part Two: Our Pick of Self-Catering Homes

Incoming: we’ve got a whole host of UK staycation recommendations because, in case you missed the memo, exploring your home turf is 2020’s most sought-after adventure.



Join
our travel editors as they lift the lid on some of their
favourite
UK self-catering stays
, from twee Cotswolds
cottages to Pembrokeshire houseboats. No longer just a crash pad
for laying your head, this is the kind of accommodation at the
forefront of the staycation stampede. Expect design-driven bothies
in the Highlands, the South Downs’ most swanky stately homes and
Norfolk cottages that have been given extensive makeovers.

We’ll also be joined by one half of the dynamic duo behind the
award-winning Brownber Hall, arguably the plushest pad in the
country. After upping sticks and moving from Hackney to Cumbria,
Peter and Amanda Jaques-Walker opened Brownber Hall to
rave reviews. Then the pandemic hit and they pivoted from running a
boutique hotel to a self-catering bolthole. Peter shares their
journey with us, his top
Lake District
picks – including a secluded
wild-swimming spot
– and introduces their new property,
Brownber House.
