A refreshing alternative
We understand your most valuable possession is time and that we are all different but often share a common attitude to life. So we have a different approach…
We only include cottages and houses that we want to stay in and we think that you will too.
Our collection will remain, deliberately, small so that we can continue to give you the personal service that you need and that we pride ourselves on.
More than a great place to stay we provide personal help and support to make the most of your precious time. A tailormade break with a special place to call home at the end of each day.
Within our collection you will find unique cottage hideaways for romantic breaks. Rare and remarkable houses for group getaways. All original, often quirky and always inspiring.
Relaxing private accommodation that gives you time to breathe. Sumptuously comfortable places where rustic charm is retained and contemporary holds hands with traditional.
The comfort of a great hotel in unique homes with the privacy and freedom to do what you want when you want. An antidote to city life but also home from home.
A website with absolutely honest descriptions and photographs; if you can’t see another building, there isn’t one. What you can see is how it will be.
Sheepskin…like life but better
Sheepskin life
Where luxury is about feeling comfortable, your own private space and the personal freedom to do what you want when you want…
Where privilege is about service personal to you, cherished and inspiring homes and the natural beauty of a breathtaking view or a rare sighting…
Where indulgence is about your time without deadlines, freedom to choose how you use it and maybe doing something you’ve never done before…
Where comfort is about warming log fires, marshmallow duvets and that reassuring feeling of being at home…
Where nature wears the trousers and man asks permission…where poor weather is just about the wrong clothes.
Where it feels like a special occasion but it’s simply what you deserve…
…like life but better
So we created Sheepskin
We used to work for large international companies managing the development of products from appliances to coffee. Wanting a change of direction and a change of lifestyle, we escaped corporate world and went in search of something new.
We’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to travel, both with work and, in our precious time off, purely for pleasure. We’ve stayed in all manner of accommodation in many countries. Sometimes delighted, sometimes disappointed, our experiences have helped us define what, for us, makes a great place to stay.
After a lot of searching and a few wrong turns we found some beautiful places, remarkable properties and fascinating people. So we began to understand what we wanted to do next…
Searching for the ideal place can be frustrating, time consuming and often the promise is not delivered. We created Sheepskin so we could share the inspiring and undiscovered places we found, in other words…we’ve done the searching for you.
Call or email and we’ll do all we can to help you…
