It\u2019s not quite on top of the world, but this rural shepherd\u2019s hut is at the top of a wildflower meadow, set on the 500-acre Burrow Farm Estate. It\u2019s as close as you can get to escaping it all while retaining the modern comforts of a more traditional stay: a hamper of local products welcomes you; armchairs cozy up next to a wood-burning fire; underfloor heating keeps your toes warm on crisp mornings; a hot tub invites you to relax day or night.<\/p>\n

As for your itinerary, you have options. Choose a walk through the chalky Chiltern Hills, or make the 30-minute drive to Windsor Castle; a bastion of British royalty, it was founded in the 11th century and is the oldest inhabited castle in the world.<\/p>\n

The UK is brimming with history, but this Grade II-listed cottage has more than most. Once a 17th-century inn for highwaymen (either armed thieves or semi-heroic versions of Robin Hood, depending on who you ask), the original building was destroyed by fire. The cottage as it stands today was rebuilt in 1840. Georgian-style design remains, complete with sash windows, decorative cornicing, plus an original fireplace and pine floorboards. Its outdoor area is just as pretty, with colorful plants (a Judas tree, a Mount Etna Broom, roses, and jasmine) filling the garden. Oxford, too, has a long history: its university, which is almost 1,000 years old (and home to plenty of Harry Potter filming locations), is a short walk away.<\/p>\n
