There are other eco-breaks around but none quite like <a href="https://www.42acres.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">42 Acres</a>, the beautiful and tranquil regenerative estate, nature reserve and luxury wellbeing retreat, just outside Frome.
Despite the name, there are 173 acres of wild spaces, ancient woodland, meadows and ornamental gardens to explore and enjoy. Discover the sacred bee garden and a secret tree house. Dive into the seven-acre wild swimming lake. Sweat it out in the wood-fired sauna. You might spot beavers, otters, wild boar, hares, deer and, of course, there are plenty of birds.
Their delicious ‘soil to gut’ menus are simple, seasonal and hyper local, using locally sourced, wild foraged and home-grown in their permaculture-inspired vegetable gardens.
Accommodation is luxe but simple and sustainable, not bling.
Dedicated to regenerative practices, 42 Acres aims to be carbon negative and biodiversity positive. A solar farm and biomass boilers provide renewable energy. Grey water&#8217;s used for irrigation. They&#8217;re into agriwilding with edible hedges, an outdoor mushroom farm, nut trees and seabuckthorn.
Come for a two-night <a href="https://www.42acres.com/wild-weekends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wild Weekend</a> retreat. Deepen your connection with nature through meditation and nature immersion on Rewild. Forage, graze, harvest, cook and eat foods grown wild or organically on Renourish. Treat yourself to a woodland spa with yoga and treatments on Restore.
Come for a <a href="https://www.42acres.com/self-catered-stays" target="_blank" rel="noopener">self-catered stay</a>, sleeping from 2 to 18 people.  We love the sound of the Tiny Boat, a two-person converted boat moored on the lake but there&#8217;s everything from a simple cottage to an 11-person farmhouse, and bell tent camping in the summer months.
Come for <a href="https://www.42acres.com/workshops-experiences" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workshops</a>, transformational <a href="https://www.42acres.com/42-acres-friends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wellbeing events</a>; hold your own <a href="https://www.42acres.com/hire-our-spaces/retreat-and-event-hire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event or celebration, including weddings.</a>
So, slow down, reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

The tranquil – and stunningly beautiful – regenerative estate, nature reserve and luxury wellbeing retreat that walks the talk, just outside Frome.

42 Acres, near Frome

New to the Cornish getaway scene for 2022 is the luxury <a href="https://arc.club/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="ARC (opens in a new tab)">ARC</a> homestay. A restored 18th century Georgian manor house, renovated and designed working with London-based architecture studio <a href="https://parti.global/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Parti Studio</a>, it is bookable for groups of up to 24.
The manor house has been transformed into a stylish yet homely getaway &#8211; 12 en-suite bedrooms and five reception rooms mean there is plenty of space for everyone, plus with six parking spaces, an EV charging point, and four more spaces nearby, you can easily accommodate whole groups of friends for celebrations and holidays.
Amongst the highlights inside is a fully kitted out kitchen with not one but four ovens (!) plus a pizza oven and enough entertaining and eating space inside and out to keep even multiple chefs in the party happy. There&#8217;s also an oval sun lawn, outdoor kitchen and wood-fired hot-tub to keep everyone entertained, a home-from-home just on a grander scale.
And then there’s the ARC Lobby, a digital concierge where the best local activities, chefs and extras can be added into your stay in a beautiful and streamlined way: from local croissants and OJ delivered to your door for breakfast and a private bartender for cocktails night, to in-house yoga, or a personal photographer to document the getaway.

You’ll find the Manor House in St Issey, just outside Padstow. St Issey is a peaceful hamlet with a church and a pub – the Saints Way passes nearby making a gorgeous walk into Padstow, with its harbour, restaurants and boutiques, meaning you’re away from the hustle and bustle of the town but with easy access too. Also on the doorstep are the &#8216;Seven Bays&#8217; &#8211; a beach for every day of your stay, as well as a golf course, and, you&#8217;re within easy striking distance of the beaches of Newquay and watersports heaven on the Camel Estuary.

ARC, Padstow

A visit to this swan sanctuary – the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world – is one of Dorset&#8217;s unmissable experiences.
The Swannery was established by Benedictine monks in the 11th century to provide swan meat for their banquets.
These days, some 600 swans come and go as they please, start laying eggs around March and hatch super cute cygnets from mid-May – a truly amazing sight.
You will take hundreds of pix, I promise.
Pre-Covid you could help hand feed the swans twice daily and hopefully this will resume some time soon.
As well as the swans, there&#8217;s a giant willow maze, swinging nests play area, cafe and gift shop.
Interesting fact: the Swannery has been used as a location in the Harry Potter films.
The Abottsbury Subtropical Gardens are right next door and you can get reduced admission for both.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Cameras at the ready at the world's only managed colony of nesting mute swans – and their super cute cygnets.

Abbotsbury Swannery, near Weymouth

This way m&#8217;lady. <a href="https://www.devere.co.uk/beaumont-estate/eat-drink/1705-restaurant-bar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">De Vere Beaumont Estate</a> in Old Windsor boasts one of the very best afternoon teas around, renowned for its use of the finest British produce and suppliers. Take a seat in their grown up 1705 Restaurant &amp; Bar and brace for culinary heaven. The afternoon tea offering is traditional, but elevated with just something a little different from the usual.
Expect a savoury bite such as pea, spinach &amp; ricotta arancini, as well as a range of handcrafted sarnies. Think chicken &amp; pesto mayo wrap, smoked salmon, chive &amp; lemon crème fraiche, truffle egg mayo, and pastrami, gherkin &amp; grain mustard ciabatta. Salivating yet? The homemade seasonal sweet treats should do it. While they may look too good to eat, I have faith you&#8217;ll be stuffing these back in record time. Giant golden scones are joined by tarts, cakes, cheesecakes, and macaroons. Their range of Twinings teas, fruit infusions &amp; coffees washes it all down nicely. Prices start at £30pp. Us? We&#8217;re upgrading to the glass of English sparking for £9.
It&#8217;s worth noting their Festive Afternoon around the Christmas season is a culinary event well worth sleighing over to, served daily from 15 Nov to 20 Dec between 2pm &amp; 5pm. More of the above but with a very merry twist. I can&#8217;t think of a better way to wrap up some Christmas shopping with the girls. Plus, when you book the tea, you can park for free while you head out to hit the high street via bus. Neat.
De Vere Beaumont Estate is a hotel steeped in history &#8211; formerly Beaumont College &#8211; that has since undergone extensive refurbishment to a high standard. If you fancy making a weekend of it, you can opt to sleep over in one of their cosy bedrooms too.

Tea anyone? Whether you're going festive or traditional, expect three tiers of gastronomical glory just a hop, skip, and a jump from the King's front door.

Finest-quality sparkling and rosé wines, crafted from vines grown exclusively in the beautiful Surrey Hills. Bottoms up!

Albury Organic Vineyard, nr Guildford

The finest Somerset produce, Italian-inspired dishes, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, cured meats and cheeses – no wonder <a href="https://www.alfredos.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alfredo&#8217;s</a>  was voted the Best Restaurant in the Dorset, Somerset &amp; Bristol Muddy Awards 2025.
Owner-chef Henry worked in country house hotels around the UK and top restaurants in Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong and London before returning to Somerton to set up the restaurant he named after his young son.  The food is Italian, but you won&#8217;t find bog standard spag bol on the menu here.
What you will find are <a href="https://www.alfredos.uk/menu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dishes to delight</a>, like nduja and burrata foccacia; roasted leek risotto with toasted seeds and pecorino, gnocchi alla vodka and parmesan, roasted Cornish sole, roasted red mullet with carrots and orange escabeche, sirloin steak;  mascarpone, panna cotta, tiramisu, British and Italian cheeses.  Delizioso!
Even better, inspired by Venetian small plates called cicchetti,  you get to order lots of different dishes to share at the table, so you don&#8217;t have to spend your lunch or dinner looking enviously at what everyone else ordered. 
It being Somerset, of course they do a Sunday roast, including ‘Decadence’, a dish combining sirloins of Alfredo’s porchetta and beef, served with roast parsnips, beef-fat carrots, Yorkshire puds and gravy (though you can order both meats separately). Also on the Sunday menu: veggie roast, roasted skate wing, Crown Prince squash risotto and some tempting pasta dishes.
Kids get their own Bambino menu with spagetti, pizza, garlic bread and potatoes.
The wood-fired sourdough pizzas are – of course – fabulous. They serve all the classics but use Glastonbury Fior di Latte instead of mozzarella, and Dorset Blue instead of dolcelatte.
Come for breakfast. Visit the bakery café for freshly baked bread, all kinds of delicious pastries – which may change daily – and the best coffee. Just rock up, or order and collect – whichever suits. Enjoy a drink in the bar: chilled Italian whites, bold Italian reds, Aperol Spritz, Campari, Limoncello and Prosecco and all the rest. Hold a party; the space is great and so is the <a href="https://www.alfredos.uk/party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">party menu</a>. Their two- and three-course <a href="https://www.alfredos.uk/services-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">festive menu</a> is available from mid November through to January. Almost everything they cook can be made gluten-free (including the pizzas).
Lunch and dinner: Wednesday  to Saturday, from 12pm – 2.30pm and  6pm – 9pm. Sunday lunch: 12pm – 2.30pm. Breakfast: Tuesday to Sunday 8am –11am. Bakery café: Tuesday to Sunday, from 8am – 5pm (no reservation necessary).

Stratford&#8217;s absolutely brimming with history, so where better to stay than a handsome four star Manor House with 16th century origins? <a href="https://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/alveston-manor">Alveston Manor</a> brings together luxe styling, elegance and some proper local history, with the first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream believed to have been performed in its grounds.  It&#8217;s just two mins from the River Avon (perfect for a boat ride or gin cruise) and just across the footbridge from the town centre.
There&#8217;s 113 rooms, with views over the stunning gardens. Style-wise there&#8217;s a nice mix of modern and period, including four-poster beds and Elizabethan-inspired design like timbered beams, wood panelling and stained glass.
Head down for breakfast, dinner or lunch in the Manor Restaurant, serving up a classic British menu with a modern twist, and using organic ingredients where possible. For light bites and coffee with a view check out the oak-panelled Blue Lounge.
You&#8217;ll no doubt want to visit the town&#8217;s Shakespeare properties, and the excellent theatre, but to escape the hustle and bustle you&#8217;re in the right place too. Make a beeline for the spa with the pool, relaxation room and luxurious Elemis treatments.
If you&#8217;re getting hitched then you&#8217;ll want to book a viewing in here too. You already know it&#8217;s got the boxes ticked with food, accommodation and location &#8211; everything you need for a wedding guests will be talking about for years to come.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Looking for a bolthole to explore Shakespeare's birthplace, or somewhere to kick back and enjoy some me time? Let me introduce you to Alveston Manor. 

Alveston Manor, Stratford-upon-Avon

Just a few miles from Coventry’s bustling city centre, <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/ansty-hall/">Ansty Hall,</a> a 17th century, Grade II listed country house hotel, sits above the winding North Oxford Canal at the edge of a quiet Warwickshire village. With sweeping countryside views, sleepy though it may seem, the location is simply fabulous for swift access to some of central England’s most-visited attractions including <a href="https://www.warwick-castle.com/">Warwick Castle</a> and <a href="https://www.coventrycathedral.org.uk/">Coventry Cathedral</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/">Shakespeare Birthplace Trust</a> at Stratford-upon-Avon. Not to mention some of the biggest events at <a href="https://www.thenec.co.uk/">Birmingham’s NEC</a> and <a href="https://www.coventrybuildingsocietyarena.co.uk/">Coventry’s CBS Arena</a>.
The hotel is set in eight acres of delightful grounds, with ancient trees bordering the green lawns, where guests are invited to laze in a deck chair, have a game of giant chess or croquet and enjoy a relaxing drink on the terrace. If you’re lucky you might make friends with the local chickens who sometimes venture into the garden.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61184" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/warks/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2025/05/Reception__4_-e1748007662218.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1000" />
<a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/">Exclusive Collection</a>, the UK’s first B-Corp certified hotel group, are taking Ansty Hall in a new and rather luxurious direction, having undertaken a stunning renovation of the restaurant, lounge and bar areas where a luxe, mid-century style boasts rich textiles, marble surfaces and polished wood. This summer also sees the launch of newly refurbished bedrooms — the first redesign of the rooms since the hotel joined the collection — bringing a completely fresh new look and feel to selected stays.
There’s definitely a quirkiness too, with gorgeous oak panelled walls, enormous fireplaces and delightful vignettes dotted about showcasing collections of vintage teacups, artisan ceramics and antique silverware, giving the place a real sense of character that can be missed in some smart hotels, and adding a cosy, relaxed element to an afternoon spent sampling the gin menu in the lounge, which includes a few locally-produce treats from nearby Rugby Distillery and The Warwickshire Gin Company. Bonus points.
There’s plenty happening across the summer too, from <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/ansty-hall/highlights/summer/">seasonal overnight offers</a> and summer afternoon teas to relaxed canal-side stop-offs for drinks, snacks and sweet treats in the sunshine. New for 2026 are Ansty Hall’s <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/ansty-hall/things-to-do/outdoor-cinema-nights/">Outdoor Cinema Nights</a> — open-air evenings featuring wood-fired pizzas, artisan popcorn, cocktails and classic films beneath the stars — making this stylish Warwickshire retreat just as appealing for a local evening out as it is for a countryside escape.

This stunning 17th century Grade II listed country house hotel, set in eight acres of grounds, has period features galore, 62 bedrooms and fabulous Twine restaurant. An excellent, ...

Let’s be honest – skiing holidays can be chaos. Queues for ski hire, lugging your kit through slushy side streets, someone crying into their tartiflette by day three. Not here. <a href="https://www.antares-meribel.com/">Antarès Méribel</a> is a whole different beast – a calm, quietly glamorous residence of 63 design-led apartments tucked high in the Belvédère district with direct access to the Trois Vallées (aka the largest ski area in the world). Ski-in, ski-out? Absolutely. And the on-site boot room and private ski hire shop mean you can slide from your chalet to the slopes without so much as a faff. 
Inside, it’s all tastefully alpine-meets-mid-century – big balconies, timbered ceilings, sheepskin throws and fire-lit lounges designed for après with friends. We stayed in a four-bedroom apartment and honestly? You could lose your entire group in there (ideal if someone’s snoring). It’s self-catering, technically, but let’s be honest – this is a “dial the chef” kind of place. Sure, the price tag’s not for the faint of heart – from around £16,789 per week – but split between four couples or a well-chosen group, it starts to feel like a doable treat.  
And if you’re more into spa robes than ski runs? Welcome to the ski widow’s dream. The Antarès Wellness spa is there when you’ve had enough of the slopes (or never intended to touch them in the first place). There’s a stunning 25m pool with jaw-dropping views, plus all the cryo, hammam and LED facials you could dream of. The spa is open to non-residents too, so even if you’re staying elsewhere, it’s worth a detour. 
Méribel itself has also had a bit of a glow-up in recent years. Michelin-starred Le Coucou is just down the road, but we loved the vibe at Lilie (think alpine Soho House), and Maya Altitude is a must for long, rosé-fuelled lunches in the sun. Whether you’re carving powder, clinking glasses or catching up on books by the fire, Antarès gives you space, style and snow in spades. Ski holidays? Consider them officially upgraded.

World-class skiing, slope-to-door access and interiors so good you’ll forget to leave the chalet – Antarès Méribel is a luxe mountain stay that’s made for groups, ski widow...

Wine for every season is delivered in style at <a href="https://www.artelium.com/">Artelium</a>, exactly how Muddy like things to be! During the warmer months you can take a guided walk through the vineyards followed by the all-essential tasting best enjoyed outside in the sunshine. While in the depths of winter you can enjoy a delicious tasting indoors by their log burner.
The tasting room and wine bar has a cosy elegance where dogs and children feel included complete with a sofa and faux fur throws alongside large tables prime for ordering seasonal small plates to accompany Artelium’s delicious wines.
During the sunnier months you can sit outside in the courtyard and gaze out over the Sussex countryside while enjoying a glass, or two, of wine. It also serves as a Mecca for walkers who can meander from Plumpton Station, the South Downs or Ditchling towards Streat, ending up with the best reward of all: a glass of wine!
Their calendar is packed full of lovely events including a makers market where you can buy local artisan products and wine-themed activities. For those who want to learn more, you can take advantage of the guided 1.5 hour tour, or attend workshops or tastings which take place every Thursday to Saturday.
It’s also the dream destination to mark a special occasion with a sunset canapé reception to enjoy amongst the vines. Sounds amazing, right?

This petite and pretty vineyard just outside of Brighton offers tours, tastings, contemporary art and terrific views of the South Downs.

Artelium Wine Estate, Streat

It&#8217;s the brunch life for us. <a href="https://www.artichoke.cafe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artichoke Café</a> first opened its Pangbourne site in October 2023, two years later in Dec 2025, cutting the ribbon on their lovely Crowthorne eatery too. Inside, it&#8217;s an aqua dream. A welcoming, cosy ambience that&#8217;s garnered quite the foodie reputation among locals who flock seven days a week to get their chops around the beautifully dressed, Instagramable plates and healthy lineup of nosh.
The menu is a greatest-hits of comforting crowd-pleasers: think egg royale, avo on toast, goat cheese &amp; spinach toastie, pancakes, and lunchtime burgers served with coleslaw and chips. It&#8217;s all fresh, homemade, and crafted using seasonal ingredients. The smoothies are fab, and of course, there&#8217;s outstanding coffee. Priorities.
Service here is notoriously friendly, and understandably, come weekends you&#8217;ll find yourself playing musical chairs to bag a seat. Definitely book in advance. Both Artichoke Cafés are dog-friendly, and at the Pangbourne location, there&#8217;s a lovely outdoor seating area for topping up your Vit D in the warmer months too.

Brunchers assemble! If your love language is eggs benedict and knockout coffee, pull up a chair. These dog-friendly neighbourhood gems are dishing out seasonal comfort classics wit...

Since first opening in 2002, <a href="https://www.artichokerestaurant.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artichoke</a> has been lauded with a gamut of awards and accolades. You name it, they&#8217;ve most likely won it. Chef Patron Laurie Gear and his wife Jacqueline were delighted to achieve a well-deserved Michelin star in 2019, and have held it ever since.
You&#8217;ll find their Michelin restaurant conveniently located in the beautiful old town of Amersham, just a zippy 45 mins from London with its own stop on the Metropolitan line. There&#8217;s a few menu options to whet the appetite, starting witha fabulous value Set Lunch, three courses from the Artichoke menu, vegetarian options, a lunch taster, and the full nine-course blowout with optional cheese. Accompanying wine flights are also available.
The food is modern British, with an emphasise on free-range and local where possible, and the interior is Scandi-influenced, designed by award-winning Fiona Johnston Parke who elevates the original features of the 16th century Grade Two listed building while creating a seamless, modern design featuring muted tones of walnut, lilac, and grey. Michelin levels of service come as standard, but the tone here remains warm, relaxed and unpretentious. It&#8217;s amongst the small clutch of restaurants that I confidently return to with my own family for special occasions and guaranteed quality. Go and enjoy.

Few places take their food more seriously than Artichoke - a Michelin starred neighbourhood restaurant that places innovation and seasonality front and centre.

Artichoke restaurant, Amersham

The Bristol addition to the Artist Residence Group (London, Oxford, Brighton and Penzance), known for their cosy and eccentric style and for sourcing original art and vintage furniture from around the world, <a href="https://www.artistresidence.co.uk/bristol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Artist Residence</a> is located in a converted boot factory and Georgian townhouse in the cool arty Stokes Croft quarter near the centre of the city. The Michelin Guide awarded all the Artist Residences a prestigious One Key (Michelin Stars for hotels) in 2024.
The whole building has been sensitively renovated with its unique Bristolian past evident all around; exposed brickwork, high arches, concrete floors and metal girding expose the structure and lend it an industrial chic. From the light and airy lobby to the impressive cavernous space in the Old Boot Factory Café/Restaurant, you can’t fail to be impressed. Light, colourful and fun, playful and thought-provoking art adorns every wall, nook and cranny.
There are 23 individually – quirkily – decorated rooms and suites over three floors, from the wittily named Broom Cupboard and Shoebox, through Loft and Workshop up to the Artist Suite. All are ensuite and even the tiniest come with rain shower and/or bath tub, WiFi, TV, Nespresso machine, Grind coffee pods, tea-making facilities, Roberts radio, hairdryer, robes, bottled water and lovely Bramley bath products.
You can use Artist Residence as a handy base from which to deep-dive the best eateries and night spots that Bristol has to offer but give the bar and small (and larger) plates menu in The Boot Factory café/restaurant – open seven days a week – a chance and you won’t be disappointed.

Locals know that we’re simply spoilt for choice when it comes to the Sussex Wineland’s (not their official title, but still) but one that certainly stands out from the competition is Ashling Park. Sitting pretty just outside of Chichester &#8211; in Sussex’s sweet spot between West Witterings sandy beach and the South Downs, is this gorgeous vineyard.
While the estate dates back to 1822 the vineyard was lovingly planted in 2017 and the are grapes handpicked to create their trophy-winning sparkling wines. But wait, they also make their own gin, told you Ashling Park was impressive.  You can also try your hand at making your own at the estate’s unique Gin School.
Whether you visit in summer or winter, you can enjoy a guided vineyard tour with mulled wine for the colder months and sparkling for when it heats up. You’ll sample three award-winning wines in the interactive experience room and trust Muddy, you&#8217;ll be stocking up at the shop too. Thirsty for more? They also host cocktail making classes where you’ll be shown how to master the art of mixology, oh ok, and taste test too.
The Farm-to-Table restaurant showcases the best of Sussex  (whatever use) with locally soured ingredients a priority- the meat is from a farm less than a mile away and you can enjoy what is grown on the estate including fresh produce, honey and of course, wine.
If you want to make a night of it there is a collection of lodges designed by Will Hardie of Channel 4’s Amazing Spaces. The spacious accommodation features a roll top bath, log burner as well as a window seat overlooking the gardens and vineyards. Bliss.

A vineyard with so much more than just great wine - with farm-to-table dining, guided tours, cocktail making and the option to stay the night.

Ashling Park, Chichester

Aspects Holidays, Cornwall

The Grade II listed former 18th century congregational chapel on Bruton&#8217;s high street is now an all-day restaurant with boutique rooms, an artisan bakery and wine store, and is a great place to hang out with friends – or stay for the weekend.
The restaurant is set on two levels: cool and minimalist with white-washed walls and wooden floors, a huge stunning central light installation and original artworks on the walls. Sit at long trestle tables, at tables for two, four and more or in one of the green club chairs, or in the warmer weather out on the jasmine-scented, south-facing covered terrace *sigh*.
Come for coffee, breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea from Thursdays to Mondays and takeaway on Fridays and Saturdays.  Food is modern British with Mediterranean influences and makes excellent use of the plethora of local producers for which Somerset is renowned. They&#8217;ve been consistently awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2010.
Stay in one of eight simply designed yet beautiful rooms, some of which have their own terrace.
Buy freshly made bread, cakes, pastries – and the best pizzas for miles – from the artisan bakery with wood-fired oven, which is open every day.
Choose from a diverse collection of wines from Europe, South Africa, South America and Oregon, many organic or biodynamic, and all from small producers, in the wine store.
Head over for one of their cultural events <a href="https://atthechapel.co.uk/events" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(Meantime at the Chapel)</a> in The Club Room, which is also available for private hire.

Just on the outskirts of Basingstoke, Audley’s Wood is a popular hotel and wedding venue, located less than 10 minutes by car from the town centre, train station and M3 motorway. Also close by, there’s shopping at Festival Place.
Top Hampshire attractions including The Vyne (National Trust), the Bombay Sapphire Distillery and Jane Austen’s House are all also within easy striking distance.
Dating back to 1880 and part of the Hand Picked Hotels group, the Four AA Star hotel has a relaxed, friendly vibe and polished service. character features and historic quirks, from vaulted ceilings to carved fireplaces and ornate wood panelling.
68 comfortable modern rooms have all the creature comforts guests might need. Or, if you fancy playing Lady of the Manor, there are two spacious suites in the main house, each with pencil four posters and their own separate living rooms.
Gourmet breakfasts, afternoon tea and modern British dishes are served in the light-filled, Conservatory Restaurant, with its impressive, vaulted ceiling and views that stretch out onto the grounds (where you might spot the occasional wandering deer and guinea fowl).
Guests travelling with dogs can expect a warm welcome with designated dog-friendly rooms (additional charge applies), a treat station in reception and plenty of walkies nearby.
If you’re staying with the kids, Audley’s Wood is very family friendly, too. The hotel offers complimentary bed and breakfast for under 11s sharing their parents’ room (£25 for kids over 12 years), board games, a children’s menu, VIP robes and a night-time milk and cookies menu.
Audley’s Wood also makes a popular, picture-perfect <a href="https://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/audleys-wood/weddings">wedding venue</a>. With ornate stonework and beautiful stained glass windows, the Victorian mansion has plenty of photo ops, not to mention the strollable garden and dedicated Garden Pavilion for evening ceremonies.

Live out your lord or lady-of-the-manor fantasies in a turreted hideaway at <a href="https://stayinacastle.com/">Augill Castle</a>. Swaddled in peaceful countryside between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, this gothic stunner comes with towers, sweeping lawns and big skies. It’s remote enough to feel like you’ve properly escaped but close enough to pretty market towns and dramatic walks, when you need to stretch your legs.
Inside, the vibe is more relaxed family home than formal stately pile. Fires crackle in panelled rooms, shelves brim with books and board games and there are plenty of squashy sofas on which to curl up with a glass of something. 
Wander the grounds pretending you own the place, take off for lung-filling walks in the surrounding hills, or retreat to a turret with a novel and let the day drift by. There are castles and villages to explore nearby if you get itchy feet but you could just as happily spend a weekend moving from breakfast to fireside to bed. With characterful rooms upstairs, big views and proper switch-off calm on tap, this is the sort of place you book for one night and immediately wish you’d stretched to a long weekend.

A charming 19th century castle straddling the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes.

Touch down at this luxe aviation inspired hotel for cool cocktails, sky high fine dining and runway views. 

Aviator, Farnborough

Whether the Aztecs enjoyed a spa spruce-up, I guess we&#8217;ll never know, but I do know you&#8217;ll love Aztec Spa if you like Elemis smellies and gel-painted toes. Its location of Torquay&#8217;s Carlton Hotel is a reliable 3-star family hotel (with evening entertainment and great facilities for kids), but what makes Aztec Spa different is its multi-sensory <a href="https://www.tlh.co.uk/aztec-leisure/aztec-spa/fire-ice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fire &amp; Ice Experience. </a>
Here you can bubble away in a hydropool, and take a relaxing trip around a variety of saunas and a steam room. It&#8217;s both fun and relaxing with a drench bucket and ice fountain for your wellbeing Wim Hof bragging rights, a colour-changing thermal shower experience, then hop over to the heated loungers and a spot of Zen relaxation.
Want a treatment while you’re there? Book in for an Elemis facial, their signature treatment being a Biotec facial, perfect for gently zapping your skin back into shape after too many late nights. Or how about an Aztec Relax Spa Day  – four hours of spa chillin’, a swim and a 30-minute treatment for a very reasonable £80pp.
And did I mention the huge 25m pool (it&#8217;s shared with hotel guests, but if you pick your time right you can dodge the nippers). For gym-bunnies, there is a fitness suite with Netflix.
If you&#8217;re looking for a spa sesh where you can raise a glass of bubbles with your girlies or your guy, this is your place.

Wondering what happened to the well-loved Hertford Theatre? Don&#8217;t panic, it&#8217;s not disappeared, but transformed into an exciting new multi-purpose arts and entertainment space for Hertford, called <a href="https://beamhertford.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BEAM</a>, open 23 August 2024.
Yes, it&#8217;s on the site of the county town&#8217;s former theatre, but it looks completely different. Part of Hertford&#8217;s Growth and Legacy Project to build a new community focused cultural hub for entertainment and arts, you can expect first-release films on not one, but three, cinema screens, a 547 seat theatre and smaller 151 seat studio theatre. Plus there&#8217;s a variety of accessible community spaces to work, socialise or just relax in, including the Riverside Café, which will serve pastries, cakes, craft beers, wine and soft drinks.
It&#8217;s dedicated to sustainability, too, in everything from serving locally sourced food and reducing single-use plastics in the café, to being a fully electric building and using only LED lighting. Nice work!
There&#8217;s already a packed schedule lined up for the season ahead and the year-round programme will bring the best of touring comedy, drama, music, and family performances to Hertford, whilst also showcasing local professional and community organisations.
So why BEAM, I hear you say? Well, you only have to picture a spotlight on stage, smiles on the audience&#8217;s faces, rays of inspiration and creativity and the power to transport you to somewhere magical and imaginary. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Welcome to your brand new local multi-purpose arts and entertainment facility, BEAM, Hertford, offering a cinema, theatre, café and community spaces. 

BEAM, Hertford

If Bridgerton is making your thoughts turn Bath-wards, you&#8217;ll want to know about the very lovely Bailbrook House, one of Bath&#8217;s only two Grade II listed country house hotels and full of 18th century charm.
Part of the Hand Picked Hotels collection, the historic mansion – dating from 1790 and once a private house – is set in 20 acres of beautiful grounds, just outside the city centre.  Only five minutes by horse and carriage (or car, if you must) from Bath&#8217;s bustling delights, it&#8217;s the perfect location for a romantic getaway for two, luxury time away with a friend or a special treat for you and the fam.
There are 13 suites and individually decorated rooms – think four posters, original fireplaces, &#8217;tilevision&#8217; TVs in the bathroom (though even Queen Charlotte didn&#8217;t have one of those) – in the original Mansion House and 75 classic and executive rooms in Bailbrook Court, the hotel&#8217;s contemporary wing.
Wine and dine in The Conservatory, a contemporary space with floor-to-ceiling windows and terrace overlooking woodlands , or the more formal fine dining Cloisters restaurant, named after the atmospheric Bath stone arches you&#8217;ll find there. Open to non-residents as well as guests, visit The Conservatory Monday to Sunday from 5pm – 9.30pm; Cloisters Monday to Sunday from 6.30pm – 9.30pm and for Sunday lunch: 12.30 –2.30pm. Oh and there&#8217;s a private dining option too.
Stroll in the beautiful grounds. Gently work out in the air-conditioned fitness room. Have a game of tennis on the multi-use sports games court. Get married! Bailbrook House is one of the most romantic wedding venues in all of Bath.
Dogs are welcome.

Set within the grounds of Wickham Hall in Bishop’s Stortford, <a href="https://baileyhills.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bailey Hills Estates</a> is a bit of a hidden gem. With over 5,000 vines (yes, they planted every single one themselves), a shiny on-site winery and a seriously stylish Tasting Room, this is English sparkling done spectacularly well.
A family-run affair, Bailey Hills was founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife duo Dylan and Eloise Ford, inspired by family trips to the South of France and a shared love of all things viniculture. Fast forward to now and the results are impressively drinkable: two Classic Cuvées (2021 and 2022) plus a Sparkling Rosé (2022).
The show-stopping Tasting Room overlooks the vines. An impressive space, it&#8217;s big on wow factor thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, an extended bar and chic, contemporary interiors. Open on Fridays and Saturdays, it’s the perfect spot to sample Bailey Hills’ three Premium English Sparkling Wines, with expert guidance from the team. And yes, there are extras. A rather lovely cheese board and a selection of charcuterie make a tasting here feel more indulgent than instructional.
Looking to host a special occasion? The Tasting Room can cater for up to 150 guests, making it an ideal venue for private events and celebrations.
Next to the Tasting Room is the purpose-built winery (it opened in Sept 2025). This means everything now happens on site — from grape to bottle — under the watchful eye of Head Winemaker Sam whose precision, care and craftsmanship is clearly evident.
Want to see it in action yourself? Course you do. Vineyard tours and tastings run throughout the summer months with seasonal events popping up across the year too.

Dylan and Eloise Ford turned their dream of owning a vineyard into reality with Bailey Hills Estates, an idyllic winery and tasting room set among stunning surrounds.

If you’re after a fresh-air fix with a side of fun (and food), Basset Down ticks a ton of boxes. Set in a stunning spot near Swindon, with sweeping views the Wiltshire Downs, this family-run spot blends golf, footgolf, discgolf, games and a restaurant into one crowd-pleaser of a day out.
Golf is the focus here, but not always in the traditional sense. Basset Down has quickly made a name for itself by doing things a bit differently, with plenty of options that don’t require a perfect swing. Seasoned players can tackle the 9-hole course, which makes the most of the North Wessex Downs’ natural contours, while everyone else can get stuck into something a little more playful.
There’s Wiltshire’s largest 18-hole footgolf course, plus a brilliantly imaginative 9-hole “crazy” version, inspired by local landmarks including Stonehenge, the White Horses and Silbury Hill. Expect lots of obstacles to kick through and around, plenty of laughs and just enough challenge to keep everyone on their toes. Both courses can also be played as disc golf if you fancy mixing things up.
If you’d rather hone your golf skills, the 20-bay, undercover driving range is kitted out with Toptracer tech. To the uninitiated, this means you can track your shots on the touchscreen monitors, leaning into ball flight data like distance, speed and height. It doesn’t have to be serious though – there are family friendly games on there too, including interactive Angry Birds and GoFish. You can also tuck into a drink (or snack) at your bay, plus there’s free club hire for kids.
And then there’s the restaurant, which is reason enough to visit in its own right. With panoramic views across the downs, this is a lovely spot for a relaxed breakfast, lunch or dinner, as well as a leisurely Sunday roast or afternoon tea. On a sunny day, the balcony is hard to beat, especially with an Aperol in hand.

Basset Down Complex, near Swindon, Wiltshire

‘That’s She! The Only She! Make an honest woman of her – quick!’ was how Rudyard Kipling and his wife, Carrie, felt the first time they saw Bateman’s. Surrounded by the wooded landscape of the Sussex Weald, this 17th-century house, with its mullioned windows and oak beams, provided a much needed sanctuary to this world-famous writer, and it’s still apparent today why they wanted to snap this beautiful property up.
It’s a fabulous place to visit, both inside and outside. Rudyard Kipling designed his garden to be a place for family and friends; somewhere where his children could explore and use their imagination and where friends could relax and unwind. The grounds include the walled Mulberry garden, the lily pond where you can watch a dazzling array of dragonflies and damselflies skimming over the water and the rose garden, which was designed by Kipling himself after being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.
Kipling encouraged his children to explore the natural world around Bateman’s and this has been cleverly incorporated into the grounds now with a natural play area for children to explore. They can also pick up trails at the house.
The rooms, described by Rudyard Kipling as ‘untouched and unfaked’, remain much as he left them, with oriental rugs and artefacts reflecting his strong association with the East. Kim was his first major piece of writing that he wrote from his study at Bateman’s, linking him and his fond childhood memories to India.
Pooches are also very welcome. There are watering bowls by the picnic tables and plenty of room to take dogs for a run around the estate. Just pick up a leaflet at reception or download the Kipling walk and discover the countryside that provided inspiration for some of the writer&#8217;s works.
Tea room 
In the Mulberry tea-room you can pick up freshly baked treats and homecooked fayre. The gardening team works hard and you will notice that each month, they focus on a different herb, flower or vegetable within the foodie offer. It&#8217;s good for parents to know they also offer children’s lunch boxes and half portions of some of the main meals you can also bring your own food to eat in one of its dedicated picnic spots.
Events
Finally, the National Trust team there are a crafty bunch (quite literally) and know how to keep enticing you back with fun events throughout the year including kids crafts and visiting exhibitions.

<a href="https://battlersgreenfarm.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Battlers Green Farm,</a> Radlett started out as a dairy farm in the 1960s with milk, eggs and chicken sold from the back door of the farm house. Fast forward and today it’s not only a working farm but also an idyllic shopping village and vibrant community hub. It boasts a gorgeous (and Muddy Award winning) farm shop, restaurant and over 40 independent shops and services making it something of a destination for catching up and stocking up.
The family-owned farm shop itself has been greatly expanded since its humble beginnings in 1960. Alongside the usual larder staples, you can buy baked goods made in the farm shop kitchen, cheeses, fine wines and a huge selection from the freezer. The team prides itself on working closely with producers, showcasing the very best in local and independent produce.
Hungry? The site is also home to The Bull Pen. Originally the pen for the farmer’s bull it’s now a contemporary dining spot with wooden beams, huge windows and plenty of tables and chairs. It’s the go-to place for a hearty breakfast, light bite, cream tea or coffee and homemade cake. There’s even a kids menu and a selection of wines and beers if you fancy a lunchtime tipple.
Moving outside, there’s an array of independent shops and services to explore. Think fishmonger, gyms, beauty clinics, fashion boutiques, veterinary centre and more. Local, seasonal makers markets are also held in the courtyard.
Oh, and that&#8217;s not all. Battlers Green hosts a number of community-led events throughout the year, so you really can make a whole day of it. Last year, popular favourites included an open-air cinema, live music and Christmas tasting events. Keep an eye on their socials for updates.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

More than just a working farm, this family-run gem is a proper day-out destination – think lovely independent shops, seasonal craft markets, community events, plus an award-winni...

Rural all-singing-all-dancing <a href="https://www.beckettsfarm.co.uk">Becketts Farm</a> is a farm shop, restaurant and conference centre in Wythall, Birmingham. It&#8217;s nestled 1 mile north of Junction 3 of the M42 and is just across the Warwickshire border near Tanworth-in-Arden.
Now it&#8217;s in its fourth generation, being run by Simon Beckett, the farm manages over 1,000 acres of cereals while operating a thriving retail and hospitality hub. The award-winning farm shop includes a bakery, butchers, delicatessen, sandwich counter, greengrocers, party platters, hampers and cheese wedding cakes (so plenty to choose from), and has a gorgeous selection of foods, drinks and gifts – hello unessential items in basket.
Fancy breakfast, lunch or Sunday carvery while you&#8217;re there? The Farmhouse <a style="color: #0000ff" href="https://www.beckettsfarm.co.uk/restaurant/">Restaurant and Coffee shop</a> cooks dishes from scratch sourced from the farm shop. Meals range from their award-winning full English breakfast to a Farmhouse Quiche of the day or Hearty Ploughman&#8217;s Planks. Or, if you&#8217;re feeling a little more posh, divulge in an afternoon tea for two  worth £30. You can even order one with a glass of fizz &#8211; Muddy approves!
What&#8217;s more? Becketts Farm hosts events all year-round, think sunflower fields, Easter animal marquees, and BBQ hamper giveaways – it&#8217;s a dream for all! Who knew a farm day out could be such fun.

Becketts Farm, Wythall

There&#8217;s a cool new bar in town that&#8217;s got Muddy all hot and bothered and you need to try it! We know because Becketts Rooftop Bar hosted our marvellous Muddy Awards Winners 2023 bash, and we were all blown away by the stunning location, overlooking the city&#8217;s rooftops and Exeter Cathedral. What a spot for a sundowner, people.
There&#8217;s a cosmopolitan glass-sided indoor bar where the skilled bartenders rustle up the cocktails and you can relax on jewel-coloured velvet, and an outdoor terrace rocking serious beach vibes, with a covered canopy and speakers pumping out chilled tunes.
Here&#8217;s just for drinks (Thursday to Sunday) so booking is essential if you want that perch. Top tip: keep your eyes peeled on their socials for regular Live Sessions if you want the added zhuzh of live music and mezze.
How to find it you ask? Hotfoot it to Hotel Indigo, Exeter&#8217;s newest hotel just off the High Street. Head to the lift behind reception in Colson&#8217;s Bar (also excellent), press the button for Floor 8, and you&#8217;re there! Just add a Negroni.

Becketts Rooftop Bar Exeter

Bringing Palm Springs vibes and mid-century modern glamour to the North Cornish coast, Bedruthan is a family-friendly hotel in Mawgan Porth.

Bedruthan, Mawgan Porth

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Tucked away in eight acres of pretty parkland near Melksham, Beechfield House is the sort of place that makes you relax as soon as you pull into the drive. Built in the late 1800s for a gentleman farmer, the Italianate house is stately, without an ounce of stuffiness. Think relaxed country house living, with playful interiors, excellent food and a quietly luxurious atmosphere.
Each of the 24 bedrooms (all named after trees in the grounds) has its own look, with super king beds, plus TEMPLESPA toiletries and fluffy robes for your post-dinner unwind. Make like lord or lady of the manor in one of the four-posters in the main house, or choose a Coach House room if you fancy being a slipper-sprint from the pool. Family and dog-friendly options are available too, including a two-bed apartment.
Outside, you’ll find picture-perfect gardens, where deer graze placidly at night. But the 40ft heated outdoor pool is the star of the show. Enclosed by a pretty walled garden and romantic flower borders, it has a distinctly Mediterranean feel in summer. Come in the early morning for quiet lengths, or stretch out on a lounger with a book and a cocktail and pretend you’re in Tuscany.
The garden and greenhouse supply much of the restaurant’s seasonal menu, and kudos goes to the kitchen for an impressive 2 AA Rosettes and an AA Breakfast Award. The hotel&#8217;s head chef has mastered the art of fresh, unfussy dishes that make the most of what’s growing just steps away. There’s also a cocktail bar, perfect for a pre-dinner Negroni or two.

A relaxed country house hotel in Wiltshire with a heated outdoor pool, homegrown dining, gorgeous gardens and bags of easy-going style

Beechfield House Hotel, Melksham, Wiltshire

Happiness is a full belly, and every meal at the <a href="https://www.belandthedragon.co.uk/churt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bel &amp; The Dragon</a> is magical &#8211; from English dishes with a twist to full-on sharing roasts for feasting. Made with seasonal local ingredients and cooked in an open kitchen you can even be served at your table by the chef in your own cosy private dining room. 
Situated in the picturesque Surrey Hills nestled between the historic town of Farnham and the Devil’s Punch Bowl, the Bel &amp; The Dragon is everything you want in a pub. There&#8217;s no better setting for your next date night, get-together or celebration that’s a bit more special than usual. A hub of the community, the pub also hosts seasonal events and workshops so keep an eye on their <a href="https://www.belandthedragon-churt.co.uk/events">website</a> for all the latest news. 
Fancy a tipple? Choose from a fine selection of local ales, classic cocktails and Champagnes to fine and unusual wines in half bottles, magnums and double magnums. They’ve even got a clever Coravin, so you can sample the best wines without having to buy the bottle. 
Why not indulge in a Surrey staycation and book one of their stylish bedrooms that are traditionally charming yet with all modern comforts &#8211; think luxe beds, monsoon showers and underfloor heating. In a group? Stay in The Cottage, the pub&#8217;s gorgeous five-bedroom annexe.

A beautifully restored country inn with 18 boutique bedrooms, a great restaurant and quite probably Surrey's best pub garden.

Tucked away in beautiful Bury St Edmunds, <a href="https://www.bellotarestaurant.com/">Bellota</a> is doing something quietly radical: fine dining, without the faff. No starched linens, no hushed tones — just exceptional food, front and centre.
The setting is intimate, with guests seated around an open kitchen where Chef Rubén Aguilar Bel and his pastry-chef wife Gabi (yes, it’s a family affair) prepare, plate, and serve each dish themselves. It’s part theatre, part dinner party – and you could be on the guest list.
Their thing? Tasting menus. Think: delicious homemade sourdough bread, melt-in-the-middle Iberian ham croquettes, wild bass fresh off the Suffolk coast, and a zingy passion fruit brûlée that you won&#8217;t be able to stop thinking (or talking) about.
Bellota is built on transparency – quite literally. The kitchen is open, the service is honest (no tipping, no service charge), and every detail is designed to make you feel part of the experience, not just a spectator.
A gentle nudge: this is a timed tasting menu, so arrive on time – or risk missing a moment.

Bury St Edmunds has added another amazing fine dining experience to its repertoire. Meet Bellota - your new favourite restaurant. 

Bellota, Bury St Edmunds

There&#8217;s a reason that Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is one of the most iconic gastro greats in Oxfordshire. The hotel opened in 1984, and Raymond Blanc&#8217;s restaurant quickly gained two Michelin stars — an accolade it has just retained for the 40th year in 2024. An incredible accolade.
If you like farm-to-table, low-food-mile eating, this is the place for you. Belmond Le Manoir&#8217;s two-acre kitchen gardens produce 90 types of vegetable and a whopping 70 varieties of herb. Its mushroom garden sprouts roughly 20 edible species, and its orchard brings in apples, pears and quinces.
For wine lovers, the hotel’s cellar is home to around 1,000 different wines from around the world, with around 60% of French provenance. The restaurant is open daily to residents and non-residents for dinner from 6pm, and offers lunch Thurs &#8211; Sun. Guests not staying at the hotel can book a table up to three months in advance &#8211; thinking ahead is a must! Dress code is smart casual, but you need formal reinforcement for your credit card, because as Le Manoir will attest, the best things in life are definitely not free.
As well as staying and dining at the hotel, you can attend a top-quality cooking school here (Muddy&#8217;s tried it and it&#8217;s fabulous), and the venue is also available to hire for parties and <a href="https://www.belmond.com/hotels/europe/uk/oxfordshire/belmond-le-manoir-aux-quat-saisons/weddings" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gorgeous weddings</a>.

Lift some weights in the gym or book yourself in for couples’ treatment, such as the mud rasul, sure to leave your skin looking like you’ve been away for a month. Treat yourself to a massage or facial in one of the four treatment rooms, or defrazzle in the wellbeing cabin with some contemporary light therapy.
You can also make use of the tennis court, or head out onto local coastal walks with the pooch. When it comes to scoff and quaff, there’s a bar, plus a bistro known for its delicious hanging kebabs, a crowd-pleasing Sunday carvery and freshly caught fish from nearby Plymouth. You can even get hitched here or make use of the hotel’s superb conferencing facilities.
The village location makes here a safe haven from the summer crowds, while being just 10 minutes by car or cab from Dartmouth. This upmarket harbour town is known for its fabulous riverside location, its castle, yachts and excellent restaurants (Don’t miss The Seahorse and The Angel). For kids, the rides of Woodlands theme park are just across the road, while nature fans will love Slapton Sands with its freshwater lake and the bonus of a pint and fish and chips right on the beach.

Hmmm, let me see, do I fancy holidaying in a glass-fronted woodland lodge or quirky renovated chapel? Decisions, decisions. There are some absolute gems in <a href="https://bigskiesholidaycottages.co.uk">Big Skies Holiday Cottages</a> boutique portfolio of properties.
Named after Norfolk&#8217;s most famous feature, Big Skies curated collection offers a choice of stylish boltholes from which to explore many more of the county&#8217;s crowning glories.

Based in the thriving market town of Holt, this bijou business was launched by serial property entrepreneur, Hetti. She also owns <a href="https://www.bigskiesestates.co.uk">Big Skies Estates</a> &#8211; the only estate agency to specialise in the sale of second homes and holiday cottages &#8211; so it was a no-brainer to create a seamless service for those wishing to buy, sell or holiday let on the North Norfolk coast.
No stranger to the holiday lettings market, Hetti launched Norfolk Hideaways in 2009 with just six cottages, selling the award-winning business in 2016 with over 300 properties.
With a small team who each call this area home and a petite portfolio, Big Skies Holiday Cottages offers a genuinely bespoke service &#8211; including sharing intel on the best things to do, see and eat. It&#8217;s a nice touch that there is a video tour of each property so you really get a good understanding of the layout and features before you book.

Big Skies Holiday Cottages, Holt

Bikes, boots and dogs at the ready! There’s a hip 60-bed hotel in Hope Valley in the heart of the Peak District, where pooch-friendly facilities and stacks of freebies come as standard.
<a href="https://www.bikeandboot.com/peak-district" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bike &amp; Boot (</a>whose first hotel opened in <a href="https://nottsderbyshire.muddystilettos.co.uk/little-black-book/directory/bike-boot-hotel-scarborough/" target="_SELF" rel="noopener">Scarborough</a> in 2020) opened its second outpost on the site of the old Rising Sun pub, between Hathersage and Bamford in September 2023. Chilled and relaxed, it&#8217;s bullseye for outdoors lovers. As well as perfectly located for adventurous types in the heart of prime walking and biking country, it&#8217;s been deliberately designed inside for them too.
Let&#8217;s start with the two-wheelers. Not only is there a bike hire shop on site, but there&#8217;s free bike storage and maintenance facilities and whimsical bike-themed design features peppering the whole hotel. For the hikers and their four-pawed companions, there&#8217;s loads to love &#8211; free dog grooming facilities, free pet toy and dog bed, plus free treats and drinks for dogs and their owners (free cake at 4pm to refuel after walks and free hot drinks all day). Not enough freebies for you? There are three free films a day in the funky cinema room and even parking for classic cars.
But what Muddy loves best about this youthful new hotel chain is its easy, relaxed style (and<a href="https://www.bikeandboot.com/peak-district"> reasonable room rates</a>). Rooms are large and airy with Missoni-style stripes and stylish pops of tangerine and sky blue. Velvet sofas and bright, quirky decorative touches give it an optimistic, relaxed feel.
A breath of fresh air in more ways than one. Muddy says: book in pronto.

Family, budget and pooch-friendly, Muddy loves the Peak District's newest hotel that's perfect for muddy boots, bikes and paws.

Bike & Boot, Peak District

In a stellar seafront spot overlooking Scarborough’s South Bay, this funky young design hotel is a breath of fresh air for outdoor lovers (especially those with four paws).
Whether you fancy getting active on the North Yorkshire coast in muddy boots, on two wheels or with sandy paws in tow, Bike &amp; Boot is the ideal crashpad after seaside adventures.
Why? Well, for starters it’s just a stone’s throw from the vast sandy beach – ideal for early morning runs or sunset dog walks. Next, it’s impressively geared up for getting your bike/dog/self cleaned up after a day in the elements. There’s free bike storage and maintenance, a free dog grooming facility (plus bed and toy included for each canine guest) and …wait for it… complimentary all-day hot drinks and free cake at 4pm. If that doesn’t warm you up and chill you out after a day of outdoor adventures, I don’t know what will. Oh, maybe one of the three free film showings in the cinema-style Film Club? Yep, that should do it.
But what Muddy loves best about this place is its easy, relaxed style. Rooms are large and airy with Missioni-style stripes and stylish pops of tangerine and sky blue. Velvet sofas and bright, cheery blinds with retro nods to the seaside, give it an optimistic, relaxed feel.
A breath of fresh air in more ways than one. It&#8217;s a super easy, seaside weekend away from land-locked Notts and Derbyshire. Book me in quick.

A hidden gem set within 3,000 acres of stunning heathland near Woking, offering one of the finest Clay Shooting experiences in the UK. 

Bisley Shooting Ground, near Woking

Classic French bistro fare, wine – and cocktails – in an unpretentious neighbourhood restaurant in a former grocery store at the top of Catherine Hill in Frome.
All the classics are on the menu: French onion soup, croque monsieur, steak-frites,  lobster-frites, moules-frites (served with the white wine, garlic and parsley you&#8217;d expect or a creamed curry sauce or lemongrass, ginger, chillis and coriander you might not), galettes, boeuf bourguinion, bouillabaisse, escargots, chicken liver parfait (the list goes on) with a good selection of veggie/vegan dishes too. Tartes, crème brulee and other faves for dessert.
Sit inside and watch the chefs at work in the kitchen or outside at one of the pavement tables.
Supper clubs with live music throughout the year.
There are eight en suite boutique B&amp;B rooms with super king beds up above the bistro, and four family rooms in the Frome Townhouse, further along the same street.

Looking for a show-stopping wedding or event venue? We’ve found just the place. Tucked away in the gorgeous village of Shipston-on-Stour is a stunning labour of love, <a title="http://www.blackwellgrange.co.uk/" href="http://www.blackwellgrange.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0">Blackwell Grange</a>. This isn’t just your standard, pretty converted barn wedding venue, there’s four generations of family history here dating back to 1944 (wowza) and owners Didi and Will Vernon Miller painstakingly oversaw a complete renovation of the 16th and 17th century listed farm buildings in 2016.
Now Blackwell Grange boasts a huge glass-fronted barn for wedding receptions and four gorgeously decorated cottages with ten en-suite bedrooms. Oh, and it’s a working farm too.
Weddings are held in the breath-taking Thatch Barn (yes, with thatched roof). You’ll find exposed oak beams, underfloor heating, floor uplighters and right at the front a huge open fire. After the ceremony there’s loads of gorgeous places for photos around the grounds including the iconic Moon Gate and stunning Arbour with views for miles around over The Cotswolds. What’s more? No need to worry about numbers. Blackwell Grange accommodates up to 150 people for your ceremony and up to 200 for your evening party. Glass of Champagne, anyone? Food, drink and service is provided onsite by an expert team including top chefs who use as much local produce as possible. There’s also an extensive wine, cocktail and beer list! Cheers to that.
 Desperate to experience Blackwell Grange but don’t have a wedding to plan? Blackwell Grange host events throughout the year. From themed dinners to special seasonal events and workshops. Tickets sell quickly, so keep up to date with what’s on <a title="https://www.blackwellgrange.co.uk/whats-on" href="https://www.blackwellgrange.co.uk/whats-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1">here.</a>

Looking for a dreamy wedding venue on The Cotswolds/Warks border? Muddy has found just the place, done up to a luxurious standard and with accommodation to boot.
