If there are several of you, it is worth exploring an area from a rented cottage or house. They are often the most attractive places to stay in the most enticing countryside, from remote moorland houses, seaside cottages and moth-eaten rectories to converted windmills, castles and Victorian coastal fortresses. You can also enjoy the slower-paced domestic side of places: eating locally caught fish or cooking vegetables from the farmers’ market, putting together picnics, reading the odd selection of books on the shelves and playing board games into the night.
