ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY

Get away with the family this summer to one of these hideaways in the Surrey Hills

ONE FOR . . . HISTORY LOVERS

Deep in the Surrey countryside sits a gatehouse built in the 19th century by one of the country’s most influential and talented architects, AWN Pugin. Situated on the edge of a farm in Elstead, amongst other pieces of Pugin’s great work, Oxenford Gatehouse sleeps four people and still serenely surveys the coming and goings of a working farmyard. It’s packed with plenty of decorative features, including a spiral staircase and open fire, and is available to book through The Landmark Trust. Prices starting from £343 for four nights.

ONE FOR . . . SCANDI-STYLE LIVING

Little Foxmoor Barn has been designed with meticulous detail and offers a calm yet refined hygge-esque stay, where birds chirp in the trees, there are countless footpaths to explore and views are ones to remember.
