There is something rather pleasing about taking a staycation. You're cutting out airport chaos and flight uncertainty. You're the master of your own destiny with all manner of ways to mitigate any travel disasters. Drive during off peak hours to reach your destination. Load the car with more luggage than you might need but you'll be prepared for any eventuality. The only thing that is not guaranteed in the UK is the weather but... if you stay in a gorgeous holiday rental, staying in takes on a whole new meaning. Boutique Retreats has an enviable portfolio of holiday homes that make for the perfect holiday in the UK.

Why go abroad when you've got all these luxury holiday rentals here in the UK? There's no need to skimp on luxury, you can pick a property with interiors and views to die for, whether you're after hygge comfort, California style interiors or something more rustic. The sky has no limits when choosing a staycation holiday property with Boutique Retreats and with this in mind, we've cherry picked some favourites that we'd happily head to over the next few months.
