"If a home swap in the English countryside, à la The Holiday, isn't in the works, your next best bet is Airbnb, where options abound for cozy rural escapes. Whether your ideal getaway centers on crackling fires, meandering footpaths, or views straight out of a landscape painting, these English country cottages deliver. From converted stone barns perched above rivers to thatched hideaways on historic estates, each home blends old-world character with modern comforts like wood-burning stoves, saunas, and tennis courts."
"Jacobean-style painted wall paneling, original stonework, and rustic whitewashed ceiling beams anchors the home in a sense of history, while a fully modern kitchen and bathroom, new wood-burning stove, and private sauna in a separate outbuilding add all the comforts (and luxuries) of 21 st century living. While the interior is beautiful, the views out the windows are the true showstoppers: a three-acre parcel of land that abuts open countryside, farmland, and walking trails. From $224 per night."
