Mathew Holland, of Hollands Country Clothing, which carried out the survey, said the Covid-19 pandemic had "brought so many changes into our lives, with one of the biggest being the shift to working from home.
"Whilst some companies are keen to get staff back in, many are weighing up options and it seems unlikely that everyone is going to want to go back," he said.
"With our focus on the UK countryside and country living, we created this index to reveal which UK villages would be the best for remote workers.
