POV: you just found your next Lake District stay 🍂🏔️

Cosy bedrooms. Balcony views. Family rooms. Dog-friendly stays. And *very* good excuses to disappear to the Lakes for a few days.

Autumn in the Lake District just hits different, muddy walks, crisp mornings, pub lunches, cosy nights and waking up somewhere you actually want to stay in bed.

Save this one for your next Lakes escape 🤎

Before it became the charming Cotswold town we know today, Woodstock was famous for making gloves...
 
The Bear Hotel has been part of the town’s story for centuries, dating back to the 13th century. Woodstock became renowned for its leather glove industry, which shaped the town’s history for generations.
 
Today, The Bear is a place to enjoy characterful bedrooms, good food and a stay surrounded by history. And with Blenheim Palace just around the corner, there’s plenty to explore while you’re here 🏰

If you’ve been watching The Traitors and can’t help but feel a trip to Scotland is in order, Norwood Hall Hotel deserves a place on your winter bucket list.
 
Set within a beautiful Victorian mansion in Aberdeenshire, it has all the Scottish charm, grand interiors and atmospheric surroundings of the original traitors’ castle. Once you step foot inside, we doubt you’ll want to be banished anytime soon.
 
The question is, will you stay faithful to your plans for a Scottish getaway this winter?🏰
