Peak District

Lavender cottage. Peak District. Sleeps 5.

Lovely little cottage with beautiful views, comfy beds and a wood burner (in walking distance to the pub!). Did my back in so couldn’t walk as far as we’d hoped so we took a slow walk along the Monsal Trail and refreshments in the wonderful cafe along that route (pictured). Bakewell is a lovely village to look around. We picked up a famous Bakewell Pudding there.

Lovely pit stop at a cosy, welcoming pub on the way back - The Packhorse Inn.

Nice local pub dinner too in the Church Inn pub just up the road (take a torch!).

Must return. So much more to see & walks to do.

Gorgeous, cosy Pencuke Farm near Bude, Cornwall.

Such a high standard of interiors. Everything brand new and such a gorgeous place to be at a cold rainy time of year. Loved the Christmas tree touch too to make us feel even more festive! The pics don’t do the place justice. Massive upstairs with such comfy beds. The bunk beds big enough for adults too.

Lovely games room and alpacas and animals on site. Plus loved the honesty shop!

Also a campsite and sheperds hut on site, so the kind of place you could go with lots of friends and all hire different spaces.

Had a lovely fish lunch down at Crackington Haven too in the Coombe Barton Inn. Lovely Widemouth and Bude nearby.

Would definitely visit again!

Muggles End. Mawnan Smith, nr Falmouth - sleeps 6

Such a dreamy cottage with a lovely enclosed garden with views of the Cornish hills for both puppy and kids to run free in. Lovely touches left by the hosts George, Lucy and Gordon. Cream tea and wine very much appreciated! Games for kids and adults, candles for the lovely bath, tumble dryer, BBQ, outdoor heater & more. So clean too, which was great for our first post-Covid trip!

Muggles End is set in the tiny village of Mawnan Smith, just around the coast from Falmouth, with pub a two min walk up the hill (result). Gorgeous beaches nearby including Helford Passage, Saxon, Durgan and Maenporth. Such clear water.

Went to Trelissick gardens on the way which is excellent for dogs and also has a little beach (National Trust). Plus there is Trebah and Glendurgan gardens. We took the King Harry ferry which was a lovely thing to do for kids too.

Recommend the pub down at Helford Passage. Great food.

Such a beautiful part of the world. Will return!

Steps Barn at Cerne Abbas - sleeps 5

This stylish barn was the perfect post-Covid getaway! As parents, we hadn’t had a lie in for 15 months and this was a dreamy, quiet space surrounded by many, many decent pubs for a lovely lunch and amazing walks (a very wet slippy one in our case!) - including to the famous Cerne Abbas giant. We had some proper cheek aching laughs here, helped by how relaxing the space was and there was no need to drive anywhere (Prosecco was flowing!). Fab to also see that the Cerne Abbas brewery was about 100m from our doorstep. An amazing home-grown brewery with some outdoor space to sit and chill in.

Not far from the Dorset coast too if you had longer. Loads in the house was available to buy from many local producers and artists too. No television meant it was the perfect place to unwind and chat away for hours.

Would return!
