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 UKs most exclusive luxury cottages, for a unique self-catering experience that ensures the magic lasts long after the holiday ends.
Latest arrivals
Terrarium
Bosham, Chichester, West Sussex, UK
Floating over a crystalline natural pool that starts where the sleek interior ends, this iconic Grand Design's house is wellness architecture embodied; a British lesson in biophilic design and eco-conscious family home that stands the test of time.
Weddings at The Lost Music Hall
Wrapped up in an eccentric folklore all of its own, The Lost Music Hall is a luxury wedding venue in south Devon; an extravagant country manor that's no stranger to Champagne-drenched parties and sentimental revelries.
Usonia
Picture a New York loft with white-washed bricks and polished oak floors, give it a dose of shrinking potion and tuck it away in the Scottish treetops; this is Usonia, a luxury self-catering sanctuary with sauna and hot tub on St Cuthbert's Way.
Lightkeepers
A thoughtful renovation near Gwithian on north Cornwall’s St Ives, Lightkeepers is an elemental farmhouse with a plunge pool and an art gallery feel. Inside is an earthy chamber of marble plinths offset by textiles that bring the textures of Africa.
Stratum
An offset twisting puzzle where layers of Trebarwith stone and pearl-white render appear to rotate independently of each other, Stratum is a luxury self-catering beach house where windswept hair and salty skin run amok.
Pepper Shack
Keyhaven, Lymington, Hampshire, UK
A charcoal briquette that could replace the winter cave of even the most highfalutin hibernator, Pepper Shack is a liquorice-hued hideaway made for couples seeking a romantic hot tub retreat in Jane Austen’s county.
