Why Book a Rural Retreat Break?

Breathe in fresh country air, listen to the soothing sound of birdsong and the wind whistling through the trees, wildlife watch from the comfort or your holiday home, and watch the sunset over the countryside, on a serene rural holiday in Britain.

Which Part of the UK do you Want to Escape to?

The UK is home to some beautiful tranquil countryside settings where you can relax and unwind in serene surroundings.

England with its rolling countryside, hills and moorlands, can be the ideal place to hide away and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature on holiday.  Maybe you want to book a country retreat in a National Park like the Peak District or Yorkshire Dales, or maybe you want to holiday in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset or Somerset in the West Country?  Or perhaps you want to book a rural retreat holiday by glens, forests, fields, lochs and pastures?  If so, Scotland has plenty to offer, from the unspoilt Highlands to the Scottish Borders and Perthshire.  For a rural holiday where valleys, fields, mountains and meadowlands beckon, Wales could be the ideal place to hideaway on a rustic break. Whether you book a retreat in Snowdonia National Park, in Pembrokeshire or elsewhere, experience a slice of the idyllic good life on a rural retreat holiday in Wales. Whichever part of Ireland you choose to discover, there are so many green and beautiful parts of the country where you can hideaway in a crofters cottage or on a farm, far from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
