Lift your spirits this February and win a fantastic break in a luxurious National Trust holiday cottage.
Often considered the gloomiest month of the year, this February could be the brightest yet with a stay in a gorgeous National Trust holiday cottage. The Trust has a superb range of holiday cottage accommodation, whatever your tastes and interests. From beach locations or inner-city apartments to the grandeur of a stately home or the most rural hideaway, National Trust holiday cottages are found in the most stunning locations across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Stay at a National Trust holiday cottage and you’ll never be more than a few minutes from a wonderful walk, often starting from the bottom of the garden. Cliff-top coastal walks, strolls in rolling countryside or, for the more energetic, reaching the summit of a great hill or mountain - the trust offers all types of walking opportunities.
Here’s a selection of cottages to whet your appetite:
Pant Rhiw in North Wales is the ultimate location for walkers. You can only access this hillside house via a footpath and, with unlimited views out across Hell’s Mouth bay below and beautiful Welsh hillside teeming with footpaths above, you’ll be thankful of the deep bath at the end of a day’s trekking.
Hall Court on the Cotehele estate in Cornwall is a traditionally furnished first floor apartment occupying the oldest part of Cotehele House and possibly dating from the 15th century. Its mullioned windows look down upon Hall Court and visitors can enjoy the rare privilege of living in the heart of this ancient house, soaking up the special atmosphere of Cotehele, as well as access to the wonderful garden at all times.
Emley Farm House is a substantial grade II listed farmstead in an idyllic rural setting in Surrey. The farmhouse and surrounding buildings are largely unaltered since the 19th-century and retain a unique charm and character. Many original features remain, including an internal well and large fireplaces.
