We don’t know the secret to happiness, but it might just be a stay at Leeming House. This 200 year old Georgian mansion has breathtaking views, 22 acres of gardens, and direct access to Ullswater. 
 
Spend your trip walking the fells, sailing on Ullswater or taking a dip in the lake. With Penrith and Pooley Bridge nearby, there’s plenty to explore beyond the hotel, too.

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?🏰

They say money cant buy happiness, but here’s a few things it can buy, that come pretty close…

A weekend away, a date night, an afternoon tea, a family trip, a spa day. A delicious dinner with your favourite people.

Sometimes you just need something in the diary to look forward to 😅
