From the Editor
Increased happiness, purer air and blooming creativity; bringing the outdoors in is a trend we embrace with fervour here at Unique Home Stays. Whether trailing houseplants or sweeping ocean vistas, a close connection with Mother Nature soothes the soul and calms the busy mind so accustomed to checking emails at all hours of the day. January tends to walk hand-in-hand with dreary weather, so to boost those spirits and ignite inspiration we bring to your inbox four homes which unashamedly celebrate nature. Dust off those jackets, those hats and scarves; hibernation season is over.

Winchelsea, East Sussex | Sleeps up to 6
Just a five-minute stroll from the sands of Winchelsea Beach and flaunting reclaimed and recycled features within, our latest home on the East Sussex coast is the perfect barefoot family retreat. Whether a quiet holiday basking in the summer sun or raucous days playing in the surf, The Matchbox offers a home from home where every generation can relax to the halcyon rhythm of life by the sea.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
|
|
Glasson, Republic of Ireland | Sleeps up to 4
Surrounded by towering pines and with views from every room of the lake, trees or stars twinkling overhead, Walden Lakehouse nestles on the middle lake of the iconic River Shannon near a small village named Glasson, a jewel in Ireland’s midlands region.

Mawgan Porth, Cornwall | Sleeps up to 6
Designed entirely to draw eyes to the horizon, The Looking Glass is a contemporary home set above the surf which seamlessly complements the ever-changing seascape. Midnight blues, soothing greys and exposed wood echo with the shifting climes outside.
|
|
Hay on Wye, Herefordshire | Sleeps up to 8
Blending perfectly with the burning seasons of the surrounding Brecon Beacons, Alchemy Hill, retains a refined, raw and elegant beauty; modestly gorgeous, casually grand but never distracting eyes from the rambling weather over an undulating horizon.

There is no finer time to batten down the hatches, strike a match to the fire and cosy down with a bottle of wine as the winds whip up a storm outside. Add some spice to these cooler months with a stay-for-two in one of our couples' retreats, where there is nothing but long lie-ins and nights in the hot tub on the agenda.
