Footsteps through folklore

 

Where granite tors brood beneath mist, islands rise from silvered seas, and stone circles hold sentinel – a sense of ancient magic is woven through Britain and Ireland.

Lost Cottage, County Kerry
 

Lost Cottage

County Kerry | Sleeps 2

 

Between cloud-shrouded mountains and verdant farmland, Lost Cottage sits in a landscape alive with legend and world-renowned for its beauty. This lakeside hideaway is also close to the Skellig Islands, steeped in selkie folklore, and the Eightercua Standing Stones, a megalithic site laced with Irish mythology.

The Fish Store, Cornwall
 

The Fish Store

Cornwall | Sleeps 10

 

Built in 1899, The Fish Store is located in Mousehole, a village long shaped by the rhythms of the sea. Originally used to salt and store pilchards, it retains its original features and offers views towards St Michael's Mount. Each December, nearby Penzance hosts the Montol Festival to mark the winter solstice.
