Rural Holiday Cottage At Dusk

Countryside Cottages & Rural Retreats

Verdant open countryside, incredible coastal vistas, plunging valleys and rolling hills - a rural retreat can energise the body and inspire the mind. Here at Handpicked Cottages, we have a wide range of rural retreats, stunning countryside cottages and converted barns to give you a relaxing escape into the peace of the British countryside.

Staying in a farm cottage or rural holiday property, you will find yourself slowing down the pace and appreciating the smaller details in life, from the warmth of the summer breeze to the sound of the morning birdsong. A rural setting is the perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life, and what better way to do so in one of our luxury countryside cottages.

Whether you're looking for a couples rural retreat or a family farm cottage to rent, we have a great selection. Whichever of our rural holiday cottages for rent you choose, we know that you will find your perfect holiday home at Handpicked Cottages.

Escape for a rural retreat

Enjoy a refrain from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with a relaxing break in a countryside setting. A holiday in one of our rural houses for rent is a brilliant way to de-stress and relax.

Country cottages provide the perfect respite from all the hustle and bustle! Breathe in the fresh air, go for leisurely strolls through the countryside, or explore ancient history without the crowds and queues during your countryside break.

Enjoy the panoramic views of the British countryside in style with our luxury holiday cottages. Our rural retreats are located throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. From the Lake District to Cornwall, the Peak District to the Yorkshire Dales, we have something for everyone.

Connect with nature in a countryside cottage
