Local experts
We scour the coast and country to winkle out bits worth sharing with you, the best properties in lovely locations. While we’re out and about, we gather together the best things to do so that you can start planning your holiday as soon as you’ve booked.
The ‘Explore Nearby’ tab on our cottage pages show what’s nearby along with relevant articles from our holiday guides from Notes and Stories, where you’ll find hand-written experiences of outings across the South and West, from dog-friendly pubs on the Isle of Wight to free things to do in south Devon and everything in between.
From the Cornish coast and moorland and the wilds of Exmoor National Park to the unspoilt landscapes of Northumberland National Park and the magic of the Isle of Skye (where you might even spot the Northern Lights!), these special stargazing locations are sure to make a holiday to remember. Autumn and winter are particularly magical for stargazing holidays; prepare a hot chocolate in a flask, wrap up warm, and enjoy. And do not forget to read our guide to Dark Sky Sites in the UK to brush up on your cosmic knowledge beforehand!
