Rural Retreats

Sometimes it’s good to just get away from its all and relax in the peace and quiet of the English countryside – and that’s exactly what you can do when you stay in one of Blue Chip Vacations’ “Rural Retreats”.  The rolling hills, steep wooded valleys and wild moorland that characterises the landscape of Devon Cornwall and Somerset make the West Country an ideal destination for a rural getaway.  Criss-crossed with myriad paths and walks, the region is great for exploring on foot or bike, and as many of our rural retreats are pet-friendly, you can bring your four legged friend along too!

Find your perfect countryside escape

We have hand-picked a selection of our self-catering properties that can offer you a real break from the hustle and bustle of town and city living.  Often set within their own grounds and within Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or National Parks - this collection of cottages, converted barns and country lodges all offer you the slice pastoral heaven you’ve been dreaming of.  Whether you are looking for total seclusion or just want to be away from the crowds; stay on a working farm or perhaps you simply want to be able to breathe fresh clean air and enjoy the stunning Devon or Cornish views from the comfort of your own self catering accommodation.   Rest assured there is a Blue Chip Vacations  Rural Retreat waiting just for you.
