About the Creator
I’m Celeste Fairbrooke, a lifelong lover of British countryside charm — even though I live in Wellington, New Zealand. My passion for UK cottages began as a child, when my family would spend summers renting small stone cottages in Wales and Yorkshire. Those quiet mornings with tea by the window, the sound of sheep in the hills, and the smell of woodsmoke in the air stayed with me. Years later, I started this website to share that magic with others who crave the same peace and beauty.
Why This Website Exists
I noticed how hard it was to find truly authentic, non-corporate cottages online — most listings felt generic or overly polished. I wanted to create a space that celebrates the imperfect beauty of real UK cottages: crooked doorframes, original fireplaces, mismatched china, and gardens that bloom just a little wilder than expected. This isn’t about luxury resorts — it’s about soul.
Our Values
We believe in honesty, local connection, and sustainability. Every cottage we feature is chosen based on real guest feedback, personal visits when possible, and a genuine commitment to preserving the character of the property and its surroundings. We don’t accept paid promotions — our recommendations are always based on what we truly believe will make your stay unforgettable.

If you have a cottage to recommend, a question about a listing, or just want to share your own cottage story, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me directly at [email protected]. While I’m based in New Zealand, my heart is always in the UK countryside — and I’m just an email away.
