Staycations for Interior Lovers

It’s no secret that the UK boasts some of the nicest staycations around. From the coastal seaside towns to the green countrysides, there is something to please everyone. If you’re like me, I enjoy booking places to stay that are going to tick the boxes when it comes to interiors. Not only do I love seeing how other people have designed the properties it also makes for trying out a style different to your own home. We have put together some of our favourite properties, right here in the UK, that would make any interior lover swoon and want to pack their suitcases!

Carn Mar, Cornwall

Cornwall Carn Mar Exterior
Carn Mar, Cornwall

This impressive house sleeps 14 people in its 6 bedrooms, almost all of which boast incredible sea front views. Spread over three floors, this property is all about good furnishings with a neutral colour palette of grey and whites. Marble topped kitchen counters, an architect-designed sweeping staircase and a statement double glass-fronted log burner – it’s easy to see why this property recently awarded ‘Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year’ at the Cornwall Tourism Awards.

Dry Creek House, Cornwall

Dry Creek House, Cornwall

Next another award winning property, this time for ‘The Most Imaginative House Award’ by the Cornish Building Group and it’s easy to see why. Being described as being carved into the hillside and tucked away in the trees it looks like the perfect retreat. Designed with lots of different texture and material combinations such as glass, wood like cedar and maple and polished cement giving this property a real earthy, nature inspired feel. It also comes with a private path to the beach which is just minutes away!

Solihull Hampton Manot Fentham Living Room
Hampton Manor, Solihull

This family-run property, Hampton Manor, dates all the way back to 1855. The Manor itself has 15 individually designed bedrooms and a cottage in the grounds that sleeps up to six guests. The design of this Manor is a really interesting mix of contemporary, electric design using unusual prints and fabrics that also honour the history of the building. Not only can you stay in somewhere with great interiors, but they also have a Michelin-star restaurant on site called Peel’s restaurant where you can also dine in style too!
