Any day stays
Between board meetings and doggy daycare drop-offs, there’s enough rigid scheduling in day-to-day life; that’s why these luxury homes open their doors any day of the week, making them the ultimate flexi staycation.
Gone are the days of poring over family calendars, swapping swim meets, and cancelling conferences, just to meet the check-in criteria. As far as we’re concerned, your holiday home should flex to suit your schedule, not the other way around. So... arrive any day, leave whenever you like (so long as you bed in for a two-night minimum stay), and do away with the rigidity of set arrival and departure days. A whole world of benefits opens up with any day stays: book an arrival dinner at a Michelin-starred spot outside of busy weekend hours, or simply revel in the empty midweek motorway journey.
Perhaps your woollen anniversary falls on a lucky Wednesday, or baby’s first birthday is a Thursday affair? Or maybe no amount of diary shuffling will make a Friday check-in work for the long overdue reunion? Whether you have your heart set on a last-minute coastal retreat for two or a group gathering home where all the aunties and uncles can celebrate in style, the any day stays collection offers access to the nation’s most luxurious homes any day of the week. We’re talking candles, cameras, cupcakes… but never compromises. From country manors to spa homes with heated pools, it's all here.
