ROSE CASTLE COTTAGE

essentially a giant thatched cottage, with a sleek, modern interior. Pretty Lulworth Cove is minutes away on foot.* Lulworth Cove House can be booked through The Wow House Company. They offer large, extra special houses and can help clients with catering, entertainment and activities.

If remote beauty is the new luxury, then Rose Castle Cottage, once owned by Beatrix Potter, is one opulent place. It sits just above tinkling Tarn Hows, with not a neighbour in view. This is a low-tech pad for four people – off grid electricity, no TV, dishwasher, microwave, or even WiFi, so it’s definitely the place to bring teenagers to cold turkey! But who needs screens when the whole Lake District is on your doorstep? Tramp in the fells or to the jetty where you can climb aboard the old Steam Yacht Gondola for a cruise on Coniston Water.

* Rose Castle Cottage can be booked through National Trust Holidays.The National Trust restore historic properties throughout the UK, keeping their unique character. Money from bookings helps protect them for future generations.
