Luxury Cottages was founded to create a service to match discerning guests with the highest quality of luxury stays in the most sought-after locations across the UK. Our mission is to provide you with luxury rental homes that feel just like home, right down to the finest details. That’s why our selection of luxury properties stands out from the crowd with unique features that turn your holiday in the UK into a spectacular experience.

Whether it’s staying in a barn conversion with countryside charm or a stately home with state-of-the-art facilities that will make you feel like royalty – we choose only holiday homes that provide that mouth-wide-open reaction the moment you open the door.

We know what to look for when searching for the perfect holiday home and that’s why we provide a one-stop destination to find your ideal holiday home. Whether you’re searching for an indulgent hideaway with a hot tub or a family gathering with a swimming pool – we have unique stays to suit your needs.

What’s more, we know that not all holidays are the same, so we make sure we include a variety of luxury properties to rent for all, including large groups, couples, families and to celebrate special occasions.

Our selection process is fine-tuned so that you receive a personal experience at each and every stay with Luxury Cottages. We personally work with property owners to make sure their rental homes match our mission to provide you with unrivalled luxury.

That’s why we inspect our properties personally to give you the guarantee that the homes meet a high standard, so you’ll be wishing you booked your stay for longer.
