Luxury cottages with log fires

There’s nowhere better to gather and reconnect than beside the steady heartbeat of a real fire. Perhaps it’s morning coffee for two by glowing embers in an off-grid farmhouse, fireside family suppers in a converted chapel, or gathering around a cast-iron stove in a beach house as an Atlantic storm rolls across the darkening sky. Each hideaway offers an elemental blend of wilderness and warmth. Many of our homes with fires also include hot tubs and saunas, the therapeutic warmth working to soothe tired muscles and ease tension.

From inglenooks built from Cotswold stone to Nordic-style fireplaces in Cornish boltholes, each retreat celebrates the primal draw of the hearth. We provide kindling and logs to get you started, and the fires are laid so they can be lit the moment you arrive. In a Welsh mountain cottage, you might wander over frosted peaks before returning to toasted toes and buttered crumpets. In the wilds of Cumbria, watch firelight and flickering shadows dance across stone walls as you play board games and graze on local cheese, snow drifting silently outside.
