If you're dreaming of spending a holiday in the English countryside but cannot book the pricy flight, this Ontario cottage rental can transport you there.

The 160-year-old Country Coach House sits on a Victorian estate in a small town just over an hour from Toronto. This charming brick building is a spacious retreat with modern amenities and a private hot tub.
