Best Vineyard Stays in England & Wales

h1_used=Best Vineyard Stays in England & Wales | guide.h1=Best Vineyard Stays in England & Wales | guide.H1=

Some vineyard visits are worth slowing down for. A small but growing number of estates across England and Wales now offer on-site accommodation, allowing guests to stay among the vines rather than rushing home after a tasting or dinner.

Vineyard stays range from simple cottages and converted farm buildings to purpose-built lodges overlooking the rows of vines. Availability is often limited, rates vary by season, and many stays book well in advance - but the appeal is obvious. Staying on site means you can linger over a meal, enjoy another glass, and wake up surrounded by the vineyard itself.

This guide brings together some of the best vineyard stays in the UK, focusing exclusively on estates where accommodation is located on the vineyard itself.

What is a vineyard stay?

Return to contents
A vineyard stay is overnight accommodation located within a working vineyard estate. Unlike nearby hotels or partner B&Bs, these stays are part of the vineyard experience - often just a short walk from the tasting room, restaurant, or cellar door. In the UK, vineyard accommodation is still relatively rare. Most estates remain focused on wine production and day visitors, which is why vineyard stays tend to feel more special - and why availability can be limited.

Where can you stay at a vineyard in the UK?

Return to contents
Vineyard accommodation is spread across England and Wales, with a higher concentration in well-known wine regions such as Sussex and Kent. That said, vineyard stays aren’t limited to the South East with on-site accommodation attached to vineyards pretty much anywhere you find vineyards. Each location offers a slightly different experience, shaped by the landscape, scale of the estate, and style of accommodation.

What to expect from vineyard accommodation

Return to contents
Vineyard stays are not one-size-fits-all. Depending on the estate, accommodation may include:
  • Self-contained cottages or lodges within the vineyard grounds
  • Rooms or apartments converted from historic estate buildings
  • Purpose-built vineyard lodgings with views across the vines
Some stays are closely tied to the vineyard’s restaurant or tasting programme, while others are more independent and self-catered. Facilities, pricing, and minimum stay requirements vary widely, so it’s always worth checking details before booking.

Is a vineyard stay right for you?

Return to contents
Staying at a vineyard suits travellers who enjoy:
  • Slower, countryside-led breaks
  • Wine-focused experiences without a packed itinerary
  • Quiet evenings and early mornings in rural settings
Vineyard stays tend to work best as short breaks or weekends away, particularly for couples or small groups. They’re less about luxury hotel services and more about location, atmosphere, and access to the vineyard itself.

FAQ

Can you stay overnight at a vineyard in the UK?
Yes, some vineyards offer accommodation. These range from hotels, to on-site cottage and luxury lodges, allowing guests to stay within the vineyard estate rather than nearby hotels or B&Bs.
Are there any dog friendly vineyard stays?
Yes but they are less common still. Tinwood Estate, Ashling Park and Wiston Estate are three vineyards in West Sussex that offer dog-friendly accommodation. Vinebound is in the process of collecting better information about which vineyards offer dog-friendly accommodation, but in the meantime using the filters on the map or listing page to show vineyards that have accommodation and are also dog-friendly and then checking on the vineyard website is the best way to find dog friendly accommodation.
Are vineyard stays available outside Sussex and Kent?
Yes. While Sussex and Kent have a higher concentration of vineyard accommodation, vineyard stays can also be found in other parts of England and Wales, including Cornwall, Berkshire, and Wales.
Do vineyard stays include wine tastings or tours?
Not always. Some vineyard stays include tastings or dining experiences, while others offer accommodation only, with tastings booked separately. It’s best to check what’s included before booking.
Are vineyard stays expensive?
Prices vary depending on the vineyard, type of accommodation, and time of year. Some vineyard stays are comparable to rural cottages or boutique hotels, while others are priced higher due to limited availability.
Do I need to book vineyard accommodation in advance?
Yes, in most cases. Vineyard accommodation is relatively rare in the UK and can book up well ahead of peak seasons, weekends, and harvest periods.
Can you visit a vineyard without staying overnight?
Yes. Most vineyards welcome day visitors for tastings, tours, or meals. Staying overnight is optional and usually booked separately from vineyard visits. However, a small number of vineyards only allow visits if you are staying there.
