Sleep travel is a way of traveling where rest is the main focus. Instead of busy schedules and sightseeing, it’s about staying somewhere quiet and comfortable, slowing down, and allowing your body to reset. At our cottages, sleep travel means peaceful surroundings, simple living, and the freedom to rest without pressure.
