I think pretty much all of us have at some point or other thought to ourselves that it’s time to upsticks and start a new life somewhere else. Overseas, by the sea, in the countryside, wherever as long as it’s somewhere new. That’s what Cat and Gabriel have done by moving to their beautiful farm in Devon where you get ….
We love our owners and their unique places to stay and two of our most unique and stylish places to stay – Cloud Cabin in Camber Sands and The Two Sawyers in Rye – are owned and run by the charming Nicola. In the latest of our “Meet the owners” blogs, learn how she came to run these great places ….
Sun, sea, sand and shanties, a craggy coastline with quaint fishing villages clinging to the cliffs, it’s no surprise Cornwall is one of the UK’s top destinations. And now you can add beer to the list of reasons to make the journey to the far South West. This time Phil Mellows, a specialist writer about pubs and breweries and founder of ….
Further Afield has always been about finding “hidden gems”, those beautiful places to stay which you simply might not come across unless we’ve picked them out and told you about them. We also like to make sure they’re beautiful and unique and if they’re dedicated to sustainability even better! Les Chauvins meets all of those criteria, so we’d like to ….
As the world of tourism slowly opens up we catch up with the owners of Galini Breeze on Crete, Marc and Monique, and find out what’s been happening in Greece and to get an insight into changes they’ve made to prepare for a post COVID-19 season.

Cornwall, for many of us, retains an unspoilt and beautiful spirit. Full of open spaces, open skies and breath taking coastline, it’s a place to free your body and mind. This time we’re chatting to Tia who, with her family, runs Botelet near Liskeard. With Manor Cottage, Cowslip Cottage and The Yurt the farm offers the chance to escape and ….
Sometimes a place comes along that is just so beautiful, so relaxed and chilled out, so welcomingly hosted that you’d happily move in forever. Farmhouse of the Palms on The Algarve is one of those places. Described by guests with terms like “an oasis of calm and beauty”, “they make it all appear so effortless. If it were, the experience ….

Alongside this sense of fairness, many of our Further Afield partners expand that belief to cover a sense of responsibility to protect the physical environment of that inclusive society.

Something we look for when we’re choosing a Further Afield place to stay, other than making sure it’s lovely, is to ensure that its hosts are the kind of people we’d be happy to stay with. Someone who shares our passion for hospitality, discovery and inclusivity. This time we chat to Alice and Gavin who more than match our standards. ….
Up in the hills close to Granada is a tiny village called Moclin. It’s an ancient village with a history moulded by Roman, Moorish and conquering Christian inhabitants.
