Showcase Collections: Look at that View

Restorative retreats that celebrate the natural beauty of the UK
My Harbour View

There’s nothing quite like a room with a view; waking up, throwing back the curtains and gazing out upon leafy forests, snow-capped mountains or long, sparkling shorelines lapped by the sea. 

The UK abounds with natural beauty and the extraordinary cottages with a view within our Showcase Collection: Look at that view, make the most of this postcard-worthy scenery. 

From rural hideaways ensconced in nature to coastal escapes perched above the waves, these inspiring retreats boast some of the finest outlooks in the country.


Sydling Brook Lodge

Sydling Brook Lodge, Dorset

Tucked away within the verdant folds of Dorset’s chalk downland, this secluded fishing lodge offers a tranquil break with nature on show through every window. On a balmy day, recline in the shade of the woodland with a paperback listening to the melodic tones of the rippling lake, or cool your toes in the babbling brook that winds past the front door. As night falls, pick a cosy spot inside beside the fire or gather the blankets, light the BBQ and relax on the veranda, watching the last of the sunlight fade behind the trees.

Shepherd's Rest – Montgomery, Mid Wales

Mile upon mile of rolling patchwork fields provides the heart-stirring backdrop for this luxury lodge in Mid Wales.

Bryn Benar Sleeps 9 in North Wales

Bryn Benar Sleeps 9, North Wales

Carved into the Benar Headland which sweeps down to Abersoch’s picturesque harbour, this idyllic Welsh retreat offers a perfect vantage point to watch white-sailed boats drift across the horizon. Step outside the front door and follow the coastal path to sun-drenched coves and the cerulean sea and go crabbing at high tide on the fishing village’s jetty.
