Welcome to Unique Homestays
Holidays matter.
They are our lifeline to sanity, a chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect with the people we love; a time to relax, to be the real us, or indeed to be whoever we want to be. Unique Homestays have curated a collection of the UKs most exclusive luxury cottages, for a unique self-catering experience that ensures the magic lasts long after the holiday ends.
Latest arrivals
The Studio
Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds, UK
In the beating heart of Upper Slaughter, one of England’s “doubly-thankful” villages, The Studio is a former dairy barn with luxurious, Manhattan-esque design sensibilities and a soulful story.
The Milk Wood
Nevern Valley, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
Deep within the Nevern Valley, there is an ancient sessile oak wood; and in the wood, there is a clearing; and in the clearing is a secret. A Welsh family estate comprised of four luxury country cottages, with a hot tub, sauna, and outdoor bath.
Weddings at Senara
This bohemian, luxury elopement venue on North Cornwall’s untamed coast, which takes inspiration from the county's famed Lost Gardens of Heligan, features a pool, a hot tub, and all-encompassing ocean views.
Hiraeth
Nevern Valley, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
On a forested plot in Pembrokeshire’s backcountry, there’s a pair of sister properties with identities of their own; one traditional milk-white cottage, one soot-black gabled bothy, more Scandi health club than Welsh homestead.
Huckleberry
Nevern Valley, Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK
Built from old stone and shaped by new hands, Huckleberry is a luxury country cottage with a hot tub and hammock, bringing Greek notions to the hills of Pembrokeshire, where city folk and foragers come to remember how life is supposed to be lived.
Weddings at Gulliver´s Hall
Bisley, Stroud, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds, UK
Modern bohemians, lovestruck eccentrics, and pairs of playful classicists, meet Gulliver’s Hall: a made-to-measure luxury wedding venue available for exclusive hire in the Cotswolds.
