New Boutique Boltholes Website

A sister website to Baby-Friendly Boltholes, Boutique Boltholes offers not boutique hotels but boutique cottages and other boutique accommodation options to UK visitors

A new website, www.boutiqueboltholes.co.uk, boasting 'cottages to rival boutique hotels' and aiming to cater to the growing demand for ‘hometels’, has been launched. The properties featured are available for short lets, often by the night, and, along with stylish interior design, offer services ranging from housekeepers, private chefs, beauty therapists and even cocktail waiters!

The collection ranges from the cowboy kitsch of Cliff Barns in Norfolk, to the minimal elegance of Berkeley House in Tetbury, and the seaside chic of ‘The Apartment’ in St Ives. Rentals are from £150 (US$280) per night based on four sharing the two-bedroom ‘Apartment St Ives’.

The founder of the Boutique Boltholes website, Sian Williams, said: 'Boutique Boltholes are more ‘self-indulgent’ than ‘self-catering’. In the same way that most people would pick the space, privacy and freedom of a villa over a hotel when overseas, why not do same here? You’re more likely to find design classics and original artworks at a Boutique Boltholes property than country pine and chintz.'

Seven properties are currently on offer with a further four in the pipeline and more to be added on a monthly basis. To date, properties are all UK-based but the portfolio is expected to include overseas properties from January. The current collection ranges from indulgent escapes for couples or small groups, to huge properties for up to 30, which are ideal for celebration breaks or even corporate events.
