Rural holiday cottage bliss with a June saving

Some of southern England’s loveliest countryside is the open chalk grassland and ancient woodland around the Wiltshire/Dorset border between Salisbury and Shaftesbury where Hideaways features several character cottages with 15% savings in June.

Among them are two four-star VisitBritain-graded homes sleeping up to five within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Winterbourne Cottage is a recently-built but traditional detached property with stylishly-furnished rooms and an attractive secluded garden in the pretty village of Chilmark, with its 14th-century pub and 12th-century church. It now costs from £363 for three nights (saving £64) and £518 per week (saving £92) - hideaways.co.uk/holiday-cottage/winterbourne-cottage-H165
