Who are we?

Rural Retreats was founded in 1985 with the aim of making the countryside more accessible for holidaymakers and giving them the best possible choice of holiday homes across the UK.

What areas do we cover?

Rural Retreats’ continuing success is based on excellent local knowledge and painstaking research, together with a flair for finding delightful and unusual properties. All of this has enabled us to build a portfolio of over 800 exceptionally fine holiday homes in stunningly beautiful locations across the UK, all available for you to rent.

We have homes in Cotswolds, Exmoor, Cornwall, Devon, Lancashire, Gloucestershire, Pembrokeshire and more!

What are the advantages of booking with us?

Not only that, but our customer service is second to none. From the time you book your property, we are there for you at every stage to make sure your stay is problem-free.

That’s why thousands of families trust Rural Retreats with their holidays every year – and why so many return to our properties year after year.
