This quirky wooden chalet cottage, built in the 1920s, offers a comfortable and cosy self-catering venue for those wanting a rustic short break or holiday in a unique home.

The chalet has two bedrooms, with an additional queen sized sofa bed available in the lounge, and is decorated in a relaxed style. One of the double bedded rooms looks particularly cosy and has an abundance of lovely fabrics in use and bunting hanging from the ceiling.

If you’re there on a chillier day, there’s a lovely wood burner stove available to warm it up.

Sand Farm Chalet is located in a lovely part of the world, Sidbury in East Devon, close to Sidmouth and Lyme Bay, so there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy both the countryside and the coast.

If you’re looking for a cosy retreat in a comfortable home, the self-catering chalet can be booked for a three night short break, or a week’s holiday, through Country Cottages Online.

Stay in a shepherd's hut

If you’re looking for a cosy retreat that’s got a camping feel to it, but the bonus of a proper bed, then Posey The Bluebell Wood in the heart of the Cotswolds, is the perfect place for a rural escape.

Suitable for a couple, you get to stay in a traditional shepherd’s hut, in a Gloucestershire bluebell wood. Inside the hut, it’s decorated in vintage rose style, echoing the woodland outside. Basic supplies, such as tea, coffee, milk and a bottle of wine are provided for your break and you can even order a breakfast hamper to be delivered to your hut if you wish.
