Windsor Castle

 
Take your pick of contemporary architecture or a house steeped in centuries of history.
 
In Derbyshire, Swiss Cottage is the prettiest house you can rent on the Chatsworth Estate. Overlooking its own lake, it was designed around 1840 as an ‘eye-catcher’, something for Chatsworth’s visitors to admire as they passed by in their carriages. Staying here means unique access to Chatsworth Fishery’s four miles of River Derwent where you can fish for brown and rainbow trout – the Fishery is only open to a select few and there’s a waiting list of several years to join.

 
Whatever is on your wish list, you will certainly find it here, and more.
 
Even more sumptuous is an experience offered by luxury concierge service Quintessentially: a private tour of the ‘Queen’s grocer’ Fortnum & Mason before it opens, followed by a tea tasting and an invitation to create your own version of the store’s iconic picnic hamper. You will then be whisked to the grounds of Windsor Castle by helicopter to enjoy your hamper before taking a tour of the castle.
