There’s a quiet kind of luxury in an evening spent by the fire. The soft glow, the gentle crackle, the feeling that time has slowed just for you. But at The Butler Collection, we believe these moments deserve to be savoured with intention. This is our guide to curate the perfect fireside experience. From the warmth of crackling logs and ambient lighting to thoughtful touches like cosy textures. Indulgent treats and slow-living rituals – so you can transform a simple evening into something effortlessly memorable.
The Butler’s cosy home picks: For the ultimate fireside experience
From cosy living room log burners, to roaring open fireplaces and even outdoor fire pits. Our Collection features many homes perfectly equipped for staying in and getting cosy, this Autumn.
Coles House
The property is rich in period features. From tall sash windows and original fireplaces to ornate ceiling cornices and wide wooden floorboards. All carefully preserved to maintain its timeless appeal. At the same time, it’s been thoughtfully updated to offer all the modern comforts needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
There are two living areas on the ground floor, one for more formal seating which features a cosy log burner and the other with a large piano and TV area.
Marble Bridge Farm
Nestled in the serene countryside, this spacious property features five beautifully appointed bedrooms in the main house. Each adorned with stylish and comfortable furnishings.
On the ground floor, the entrance leads you onto both the formal living space with exposed beams and fully operational fireplace. The dining area, with space to seat 12 in total.
Nest Cottage
Several seating areas and a fire pit offer the perfect spaces from which to enjoy the Downland vista framed by mature, specimen trees and architectural planting. And with a westerly aspect, the sunsets are truly awe-inspiring.
During the cooler seasons, you can light the open fire, for which there is a log store; adding warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings and suppers. But you may wish to simply unplug and curl up with a book, which won’t be difficult because there are many to choose from.
Badgers Cottage
Wooden beams and exposed brick walls feature in the vast open plan living space which opens completely to the secluded garden edged with woodland. The peace and luxury of your surroundings will allow you and your party to fully recharge away from the hubbub of city life.
In the colder months, you can spill outside through three sets of bi-folding doors which seamlessly link the house to the decking for drinks and dining alfresco – and s’mores if you fancy them.
