Expect the unexpected at The Larches, a thoughtfully renovated Highland hideaway that blends classic countryside charm with creative modern flair. Step into the cottage-style garden – clearly a labour of love – where you’ll find a pristine lawn (perfect for a round of croquet), uninterrupted views over open farmland and mature woodland, and a slate-roofed garden shed complete with a decorative finial. A sleek, modern sauna with a signature porthole window offers a truly unique way to take in the views. Whether you’re seeking quiet reflection or sociable relaxation, the outdoor seating options are as varied as they are inviting – from a whimsical squirrel-held bench with Alice-in-Wonderland vibes, to a swinging egg chair overlooking the garden, a sun deck beside the sauna, and a charming patio in the conservatory – a dreamy dinner spot surrounded by rose bushes and winding lavender paths. Nature provides the soundtrack, with birdsong and gentle insect hums filling the air.

The magic continues indoors. Open the front door to find a bright, contemporary space filled with personality, where bold design choices sit comfortably alongside the home’s traditional character. Nowhere is this better showcased than in the lounge, where rich jewel-toned sofas, floral wallpaper, and a geometric rug coexist effortlessly with antique pieces and curated ornaments. It’s stylish, but never stuffy. The four bedrooms – split across two separate staircases at either end of the house – offer peace and privacy in equal measure. The bunk room, with its playful giraffe and hot air balloon lights, is sure to be a hit with younger guests. Two smart, skylit bathrooms upstairs offer sleek functionality, while the downstairs cloakroom is beautifully lit in the golden afternoon sun.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area is ideal for long, lazy meals and lively family cooking sessions. There’s ample space to prep, cook, and gather – and for coffee lovers, the Sage bean-to-cup espresso machine adds a touch of daily indulgence.

Thanks to its reimagined layout and generously sized south-east-facing windows, The Larches is bathed in natural light throughout the day. Come evening, the woodburning stove in the lounge ensures a warm and cosy atmosphere, no matter the season.

Located just off a quiet single-track road in the peaceful hamlet of Skye of Curr, The Larches offers the best of both worlds – secluded and serene, yet within easy walking or cycling distance of the family-friendly Speyside Centre. It’s also just a 10-minute drive to Grantown-on-Spey, Nethy Bridge, Boat of Garten and Aviemore – placing all the outdoor adventures, shops, and cafés of the Cairngorms National Park within easy reach.

If the winding, scenic drive through pine-scented forest hasn’t already helped you unwind, arriving at Glencarnie certainly will. Nestled above the River Spey and framed by the foothills of the Cairngorms, this striking lodge is a delightful surprise: clad in painted timber, with broad porches, chunky exposed beams, and grand Georgian-style windows inspired by Louisiana plantation homes.

Step through the front door and you’re greeted by an eclectic and inviting interior. Hand-painted Oriental cabinets sit beside vintage treasures; family portraits share wall space with modern art. You’ll spot a mounted stag’s head, a charming collection of walking sticks, a French conversation sofa from the 1800s, stairgates handmade from birch, and—somewhere—a hidden games cupboard waiting to be discovered. Books abound, inviting you to curl up and lose track of time.

The heart of Glencarnie is the expansive, double-height living and dining area, bathed in natural light. Crittall-style sliding doors offer the flexibility to open or close the adjacent kitchen, which features an Everhot range cooker and a second dining table—ideal for casual meals or family breakfasts. The cozy library downstairs, complete with a wood burner, is perfect for afternoon naps or catching up on emails if work calls.

Upstairs are four light-filled bedrooms. One has an ensuite, while the remaining three share two additional bathrooms. From the front, enjoy sweeping valley views; from the rear, gaze into peaceful woodland where red squirrels and deer are regular visitors.

Outdoors, the south-facing garden bench is a prime spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink, with panoramic views and the gentle sounds of birdsong and rustling trees. You might hear the distant hum of cars in the valley below or the whistle of the Strathspey steam train, but the prevailing atmosphere is one of quiet, natural beauty.

With forest trails leading directly from the doorstep, walkers and cyclists can explore routes linking the nearby villages of Carrbridge, Nethy Bridge, Dulnain Bridge, and Boat of Garten. Despite the secluded feel, you’re just ten minutes from the amenities of Boat of Garten, and within easy reach of Aviemore, Grantown-on-Spey, and all the adventures the Cairngorms National Park has to offer.

Take a step back in time when you enter this splendid property in the centre of the market town of Pickering. Deceptively spacious, it sleeps seven guests across three bedrooms. Picturesque Pickering, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, has lots to offer, with a 12th-century castle, The Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life and remarkable medieval wall paintings in the parish church. Browse a great range of independent specialist shops, stock up on local produce and stop by one of the many eateries or traditional pubs. Take a ride on the delightful North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam train at Pickering station. It runs 24 miles through the beautiful national park towards picture-postcard Whitby on the coast, calling at charming vintage stations along the way. Visit the breathtaking Hole of Horcum (8 miles), and head to the Dalby Forest for family fun in the treetops at Go Ape (6 miles).

This Grade II-listed cottage is an impressive example of a cruck-framed Yorkshire longhouse, traditionally built to house both family and cattle under one roof. The magnificent cruck frame is exposed up to the eaves in the spacious and atmospheric lounge, where plush sofas sit around the wood burner and TV. A cosy snug with seating, a period ornamental fireplace and a small TV provides a second inviting space for relaxing. The large dining room houses a wonderful Victorian cast iron range, with a ‘smoke window’. The welcoming kitchen has all the cooking utensils you might need, a super range cooker and a large farmhouse table where everyone can gather to share meals and make plans for tomorrow. Upstairs, beneath more exposed beams and sloping ceilings, discover three inviting bedrooms. These comprise a family room with a king-size bed and a single bed, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. All are charmingly furnished and have their own en-suite bath or shower room. Please note that the cottage has some uneven floors and low doorways.

Patio doors from the lounge open to a small courtyard garden with seating, surrounded by climbing flowers and shrubbery. This sheltered suntrap is perfect for a peaceful morning tea or coffee. There is private parking for one car and a public parking area on the road outside (subject to availability).

Tucked away in a peaceful spot adjacent to the owners’ home, yet with privacy assured, this former barn offers stylish accommodation and easy access to the many attractions West Sussex has to offer.

Head to the nearby village of Oving, where you will find a traditional inn complete with its own Brewery or explore the many other pretty towns and villages nearby including Chichester and Bosham. Ideally situated for visit to the Goodwood Estate, the property offers excellent road links as well as wonderful walks through the South Downs.

On entering the detached property you are met by a beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with doors leading into the garden and a wood burner for those cosy evenings in.
