Castle Trematonia, Cornwall
 

The secret garden stays

 

There's Guernsey lilies and grape hyacinths. Sea lavender, sweet peas, and potatoes that splash about in good olive oil. Gooseberries and fennel and a hoi polloi of herbs: coriander for the salsa, mint for the julep. The gardens are fit to burst. And all this meaning now’s the time to visit those homes with rosemary-scented potagers and apple orchard. But best hurry, before the bees and butterflies beat you to it.

Aria

Quantocks, Somerset | Sleeps 8

 

A Quantocks bunker near The Great Woods, Aria is a zinc-clad cube whose foundations were poured by a Lebanese opera singer. Fitting, since the musical courtyard garden is one of the finest spots in Somerset to hear nature's song.

Rhapsody

Haslemere, Surrey | Sleeps 12

 

At Rhapsody in Surrey — a chic-rock home where Genesis, The Police, and Queen have all performed beside the flowerbeds — you’ll live a life of palatial proportions among statues, cypress trees, and Moroccan pool house.
