From tranquil escapes on the banks of the River Fowey to lochside cottages in Scotland, there’s something rather lovely about a getaway by the water. Feel your stresses and strains fade away with your waterside stay, best spent soaking up the glorious views, watching the local wildlife, indulging in sun-drenched waterside picnics, and kayaking or paddle boarding along the glassy water. Sounds just perfect, doesn’t it?
