From a modernist pavilion in Suffolk to a converted chapel in Somerset these Plum Guide award winning properties are some of the best holiday homes available to rent in the UK.
Luxury holiday home rental in Suffolk
With floor to ceiling windows framing 360 degree panoramic views of the Suffolk countryside the Pavilion House offers simplicity and tranquility. Designed by Copenhagen based Norm Architects this strikingly modern pavilion style property sleeps up to eight guests. The Scandinavian inspired interiors feature Douglas Fir flooring throughout and there’s a woodburner for colder evenings. A studio adjacent to the main house offers additional accommodation including a sauna. Outside there are five acres of gardens to explore and Southwold and the beautiful Suffolk coast lie just a short drive away.
Located just along the coast from Broadstairs, this elegant home is ideally situtated for a luxury holiday by the sea, with golden sands and a beach café only a few minutes walk away. There are six bedrooms, six bathrooms and two living rooms – a formal sitting room with a chic minimalist fireplace and upright piano plus a cosy snug. The highlight of the property is a stunning atrium style dining room. The courtyard garden has its own private pool and there’s also a home gym.
Bruton has firmly established itself as a destination for those in search of art, design and great eateries. This sensitively converted former chapel with its tall arch windows and light flooded interiors sits in a tranquil spot surrounded by rolling countryside, but there’s plenty to see and do nearby. The Hauser & Wirth gallery with its Piet Oudolf designed gardens is one of Bruton’s main draws as is The Newt with its picturesque gardens and ancient woodland. The town also boasts an eclectic mix of independent shops.
