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. Once the sand has been washed from toes, the suitcase of memories safely stowed away, you'll soon discover the magic of a Unique Homestays experience lasts long after the holiday ends.
Latest arrivals
Lightkeepers
A thoughtful renovation near Gwithian on north Cornwall’s St Ives, Lightkeepers is an elemental farmhouse with a plunge pool and an art gallery feel. Inside is an earthy chamber of marble plinths offset by textiles that bring the textures of Africa.
Stratum
An offset twisting puzzle where layers of Trebarwith stone and pearl-white render appear to rotate independently of each other, Stratum is a luxury self-catering beach house where windswept hair and salty skin run amok.
Pepper Shack
Keyhaven, Lymington, Hampshire, UK
A charcoal briquette that could replace the winter cave of even the most highfalutin hibernator, Pepper Shack is a liquorice-hued hideaway made for couples seeking a romantic hot tub retreat in Jane Austen’s county.
White Crow Cottage
Little Haseley, Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK
A biscuit tin cottage that sees your old-world charm and raises you poured concrete and Picassos, this luxury thatch was designed for family living, with plenty of slumber spots for dogs too.
Charlotte´s Folly
Weston-under-Lizard, Shropshire, UK
Telling a sweet tale of craftmanship and nostalgia, this luxury self-catering cottage is storybook architecture at its finest, a time-travelling family retreat that might have been lifted from folklore.
Pomona
On an isolated clifftop close to the Cornish fishing village of Coverack, this mid-century modern home is a celebration of art, nature and retro style. A hidden gem tucked within the Terence Coventry Sculpture Park.

A love letter to winter
The salt and pepper months; when the sun puts her hat on and the moon ushers in, taking a high path through the sky and pouring silver nectar into the last remaining pockets of darkness.
