Sand & Stone Escapes

30/10/2026

With the end of 2026 in sight, it’s definitely time to book that last staycation of the year...

A last-minute treat before the festive season begins. Pack your favourite snacks, head somewhere new, light the fire, and spend your time doing very little.
A change of scenery, a beautiful place to stay, and time to relax and reset before the Christmas chaos begins.

There’s still time to squeeze in one final escape this year.

Still undecided on your New Year’s Eve plans? ✨

Maybe last year was a big night out, a last-minute plan, or one of those evenings that didn’t quite go as expected.

Well, we have an idea for you...
What if you welcomed 2027 somewhere really special? A beautiful, one-of-a-kind escape, your favourite people, and a New Year’s Eve that might just become your new favourite tradition.

Book a cosy cottage for two, spend the evening tucked away in a traditional Cotswolds pub, before heading home to ring in the new year together. Or gather your favourite people in one of our bigger houses, cook something delicious, mix up the cocktails, get the games out, and make a whole weekend of it.

However you choose to celebrate, there’s something pretty special about starting a brand-new year somewhere beautiful.

So, who’s coming with you into 2027?

When Rosie Shennan escaped to The Coach House with her little pup, Basil.

“It couldn’t have been more idyllic. Sunset walks to the local pub with Basil, fizz by the fire, and the most incredible bath for a bit of relaxation for this tired mama! Such a treat!”

A place where you feel in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature, but you have the famous Cotswolds village of Tetbury just on your doorstep.

Pack up the car this winter, bring your wellies, raincoat, dog lead, and your favourite bottle.

There’s something rather sweet about the idea of a quiet Christmas…

Every year you promise yourself a little less rushing around, but somehow you end up in charge of the turkey, bringing dessert, or trying to squeeze in one more family visit.

So, what if this year you did Christmas a little differently?

Just the two of you (and the dog, of course, if they’re part of the plan), tucked away in one of our beautiful one-bedroom hideaways.

Waking up whenever you please, coffee and presents in bed, a long countryside walk before heading back to somewhere cosy, and absolutely no pressure to be anywhere at a certain time.

A Christmas that’s entirely yours, spent doing exactly what you fancy.

If a quieter Christmas sounds rather wonderful this year, take a little look at our one-bedroom escapes.
You might just find yourselves starting a new tradition.

Built in 1781 by Captain Alexander MacLeod, this soulful, historic hideaway has been part of Harris’s story for centuries.
 
Now, a new chapter begins.

We love winter, and if there’s one place we’d recommend escaping to this season, it’s The Carriage House. 

With Le Chameau wellies waiting by the door, a roaring fire, animals all around you, and now a beautiful new outdoor spa experience, this little Suffolk hideaway is something pretty special.
 

An oasis surrounded by nature, where you can properly switch off and leave feeling refreshed and restored, without missing out on all the little things we love about a UK winter staycation.

Jumping in muddy puddles, hot chocolates by the fire after a big countryside walk, and ordering pizza for dinner because you’ve been far too busy playing games with the kids to think about cooking.
 

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the best memories. And The Carriage House has all the ingredients for a pretty wonderful winter escape.

Polly, Edgar, and Cedric recently escaped to the beautiful Hafod Estate in Mid Wales, and we think they’ve found their new favourite countryside hideaway.

Nestled above the Ystwyth Valley, Hafod Gwyllt is somewhere you can truly disappear for a few days, with miles of beautiful countryside to explore right from your doorstep.

As Polly so perfectly put it, “We’ve barely seen anyone and haven’t left the estate once, as there is so much to do and see here.”

And with it being Edgar’s first trip away since his injury, it made their little Welsh adventure even more special.
If you’re dreaming of a few days away with your pups, we couldn’t recommend Hafod Gwyllt enough.

Beautiful moments captured by Polly Fern ✨
