WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
YOU COULD WIN £ 500 TO SPEND AT CLASSIC COTTAGES, BUT WHICH OF THEIR THOUSAND- STRONG COLLECTION WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Picture an idyllic British summer getaway and a holiday cottage probably features somewhere in your imaginings. Classic Cottages has been curating property treasures in the UK since 1977. Its high-quality collection features homes across the south and west, from Cornwall to the Isle of Wight. And now the company is giving away a £500 voucher with this brilliant competition. Here’s a taster of how you could spend it.
GEMS ON THE COAST
For many of us a cottage holiday has got to be coastal. Whether you’re into surfing, sandcastles or simply a toe-tingling paddle at the shoreline, a cottage break beside the sea has something for everyone. Take Sea Breeze, in Falmouth; it’s well placed for days idling on Gyllyngvase Beach. A modern, clapboard house with four bedrooms (one pictured, above), it’s within easy reach of town, too.
URBAN WONDERS
If ambling around town, shop-hopping and dipping into cafés sounds more your cup of tea, Classic Cottages has a number of retreats sure to please. Frome in Somerset is well known for its cobbled streets, thriving indie shops and weekly market. Stay in Pemberley, a stunningly converted Georgian townhouse ( pictured) with room for eight. Plus, Bath and Wells are each a short drive away.
RURAL RETREATS
Country escapes offer a chance to slow down and switch off – to really immerse yourself in nature. That and cream teas. Waking up to birdsong, admiring a sky full of stars, enjoying a long walk – a stay in the countryside can prove truly restorative. The two-bedroomed Dittisham (top right), within Dartmoor National Park, is a great example – surrounded by woodland, in the breathtaking Walkham Valley. Discover the collection at classic.co.uk.
