Our latest review comes from Hugh Graham-Watson, who recently enjoyed a stay at the beautiful Kimpton Aysla.

Come with us to Woolley Grange โœจ

Our Guru, recently enjoyed a stay at this beautiful retreat in Wiltshire, she says: "Woolley Grange manages to feel both gloriously grown-up and wonderfully child-friendly. Set amid the rolling Wiltshire countryside, this handsome Jacobean house has 350 years of history behind it and has recently undergone an extensive renovation including stylish, contemporary decor. Come on a sunny day and it feels like you've been transported to the South of France!"

A Yorkshire inn with a little more to it than meets the eye. ๐Ÿ‘€

Helen Pickles checks in at the award-winning General Tarleton, where traditional character, thoughtful details and a warm welcome make this a particularly appealing country escape.

"This food-driven pub is an unexpected find in an unremarkable North Yorkshire village, close to Harrogate. Part of Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banksโ€™s enterprise to revitalise traditional country inns, it offers pub classics cooked with flair, comfortable inn surrounds, plus a surprisingly large, prettily laid out terrace."

Fancy a quieter break this September? ๐Ÿคซ

September is the perfect time to discover the UK's coast and countryside. With summer crowds gone, peaceful beaches, scenic walking trails and rolling landscapes are at their best, making it an ideal month for a refreshing escape.

Here are our Top UK spots for a September escape this year:

๐Ÿ“ The Gallivant, East Sussex โ€“ 1960s motel reborn as a stylish New England beach hotel with a good cafe and bistro dining, on Camber's magnificent sandy beach.

๐Ÿ“ Bike & Boot, Scarborough โ€“ A fun hotel with an outdoorsy ethos set overlooking South Bay. The rooms keep the building's original features but feel fresh and funky with pops of colour and contemporary artwork.

๐Ÿ“ Storm in a Teacup, St Ives โ€“ Just a short walk from the beach, Storm in a Teacup is a charming boutique B&B with stylishly decorated rooms, modern furniture and pop-art that gives the place a chic feel.

๐Ÿ“ ABode Canterbury, Kent โ€“ Stylish conversion of historic buildings in the heart of Canterbury, very close to the Cathedral. The property showcases a good mix of ancient wooden beams and sleek contemporary designs.

๐Ÿ“ The Rosevine, Cornwall โ€“ A charming family-run hotel overlooking the south Cornwall coast. We love their spacious and comfortable rooms with tasteful furnishings and warm colour schemes.

Are you planning an Italian escape this year? We think Umbria is worth moving up higher on your list, and we've got the perfect place to stay. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

The Monteleone is a new boutique countryside retreat set between Orvieto and Perugia, making it a great base for exploring Umbria and Tuscany. Plus, the charming hilltop village of Monteleone d'Orvieto is just a 7-minute walk away.

Hugh Graham-Watson recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful retreat in June and says, "A great hotel with well-curated rooms, ideal for families and friends. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable โ€“ ready at any time to recommend an itinerary or book a local restaurant or experience." And Hugh's hot tip for us is: "Don't miss Cittร  della Pieve for an evening aperitivo or dinner al fresco!

If you're choosing one month to travel, make it September. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Think warm days on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, late-summer swims around the Greek islands, and Croatia's sun-soaked Adriatic towns without the peak-season bustle. Portugal is still bathed in sunshine, Morocco becomes more comfortable as temperatures begin to ease, and in Japan, the first hints of autumn start to appear in the north while much of the country remains warm and green.

If you've been waiting for the right time to book, this might just be it.

Wake up to calm lagoon views, spend the afternoon exploring the Red Sea, then settle in as the DJ soundtrack takes over by the pool. ๐ŸŒด ๐ŸŽถ

This adults-only hideaway in El Gouna strikes the perfect balance between laid-back beach days and sociable evenings. Minimalist interiors are softened with subtle Bedouin-inspired details, while a private lagoon beach, paddleboarding, snorkelling and desert adventures are all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, expect Mediterranean-inspired dining, cocktails by the water and a wellness space for when it's time to recharge.

If you're looking for a new stylish Red Sea escape that blends relaxation with a lively atmosphere, Cooks Club deserves a place on your list. โœ”๏ธ

Looking for a stylish stay in Madeira? ๐ŸŒด Overlooking the Atlantic, Pestana Vila Lido pairs tropical-inspired interiors with beautiful ocean views, creating a relaxing retreat just moments from Funchal. ๐ŸŒŠ

"Situated in a prime seafront location, in one of Funchalโ€™s most upmarket areas, the Pestana Vila Lido is a five-star property which delivers everything youโ€™d hope for in an urban beachfront resort. Itโ€™s a fabulous combo of original building (dating back to 1938), which houses the common areas of reception, library, cocktail bar and ร  la carte restaurant, plus the stunning cylindrical-shaped modern space where youโ€™ll find all the guest rooms and the Flor de Mar restaurant for breakfast and buffet dinners.....For a luxury stay, but one that certainly won't break the bank, Pestana Vila Lido delivers on all counts."
