Vacation rental cottages and accommodations like these are available by the week, the weekend and for short midweek breaks from English Heritage and from The National Trust.
English Heritage is a public body that advises the UK government on preserving the historic environment. It manages 400 historic properties, including Stonehenge. Some of these properties have attached vacation rental cottages, lodges and apartments. Guests often have the run of grounds, gardens and parks after hours and can sometimes be offered private viewings of the main historic property.
The National Trust is an independent organization, supported by membership subscriptions and income from the historic properties it manages.
The Triumphal Arch Cottage(Price Band: $), pictured above, is a vacation rental that sleeps four and overlooks parkland landscaped by Capability Brown. It is part of the National Trust's Berrington Hall estate, a Neoclassical mansion, in Leominster, with views over the Brecon Beacons, French Regency furnishings, fine painted ceilings and an interesting costume collection.
