If you’re a fan of a lively lock-in, our latest selection of retreats has plenty to rave about! Unusual whole-pub stays include an exclusive Brecon Beacons inn close to Henrhyd Falls, and an 18th century tavern on the shimmering River Ancholme, complete with a scenic beer garden and a piano bar.
For those who prefer messing about on the river, fabulous floating retreats include a vintage Dutch barge on the North Essex coast (why not book a chartered Sunrise or Stargazing Sail for a celebratory stay?). Or unwind aboard a former fishing trawler on the breath-taking Caledonian Canal, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
Rather get away from it all completely? Escape to the heart of Wales for the ultimate digital detox, surrounded by glorious green views to savour from your private hot tub. Meanwhile, dedicated stargazers can rejoice in a luxurious Lincolnshire Wolds glamping haven created especially for them, with stylish cabins and a dedicated ‘Solis Terrace’ viewing platform… snuggly blankets provided!
Last but not least, far-flung delights include couples’ cabins secluded in Brazil’s wildlife-rich Chapada dos Veadeiros, and magical hut retreats (each with their own sauna!) on a peaceful New York farm.
(We challenge you to choose a favourite!)
