Luxury self-catering accommodation in Bedfordshire

Green walkways, meandering canals and brilliant access to towns and villages. A luxury self-catering holiday home in Bedfordshire is the perfect base for a quick break with easy travel routes. Pile into a family cottage close to Whipsnade Zoo near Dunstable and have fun on a day out at this extensive wildlife park, where guests can make the most of special children's days and the Sunset Safari. Don't forget your picnic supper! If you're staying closer to Woburn Safari Park, the little ones will love getting up close and personal to the animals who live at this spacious venue, too.

Aeronauts will enjoy discovering 100 years of flight at the historic Shuttleworth Collection, where vintage aircraft beauties are housed in lofty hangars. Ramblers based at country lodges benefit from striding out across the Chilterns, and horse-riders are sure to love the pretty byways that run through tiny towns and beautiful meadows. If you're more wheels than hooves, jump on a bike and explore the trails that way. Fresh produce fans will enjoy the many farmer's markets, before whipping up a culinary storm in the kitchen of a Bedford townhouse.
