    Each of these homes offer seclusion and luxury and guarantee the perfect "get away from it all" holiday.   We love all things local and independent and seek quirkiness and creativity.  We can arrange a surprise for your special celebration, offer catering if required and our aim is for you to leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind you. We offer that “little bit extra” that the discerning holidaymaker is looking for – whether it be Yoga and Tai Chi or a Wellness Retreat in the Algarve or Spain; Fishing in the River Eden or Kayaking on your private lake in Cumbria; Ex;ploring Castles and Beaches in North Wales: Cooking lessons on the Greek Island of Syros; Sleeping under the stars in the Eastern Algarve;  Relaxing in your own Sauna in Andalucia;  or just cycling to collect your morning baguettes in the Limousin area of France.

    Equally exceptional are the owners of these wonderful homes – ranging from Artists; Sculptors; Wine Makers: Archaeologists; Politicians and even an Octogenarian who still plays hockey for England!
