Welcome to Unique Homestays
Holidays matter.
They are our lifeline to sanity, a chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect with the people we love; a time to relax, to be the real us, or indeed to be whoever we want to be. Unique Homestays have curated a collection of the UK's most exclusive luxury cottages, for a unique self-catering experience that ensures the magic lasts long after the holiday ends.
Latest arrivals
Thalia
St Tudy, Wadebridge, Cornwall, UK
On the site of a 17th-century smallholding, a structure rises that defies easy categorisation. Part eco-warrior, part luxury retreat, this family home lives 'at one' with the environment.

Artemis
On a valley's edge in the undulating folds of the South Downs, this luxury country house with a pool hides amidst the gentle rustle of wildflowers and meadow grass.
Seafold
Perched above Seaton on the Cornish coast, Seafold is an architectural chameleon that shifts with the rhythms of sea and sky; a love letter to light and landscape.
The Knapp
Slad, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds, UK
Settle yourself within the pages of Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie at The Knapp, where the magic of a Slad Valley childhood meets the Cotswolds of the 21st century.
