Something for the weekend, 17th April 2026 - Best places to visit in the UK
Some weekends don’t need overthinking.
A good place to stay, somewhere special to eat, and something outdoors to reset you, these are some of the best places to visit in the UK
This one moves from Somerset to Wales, across the Peaks and down to the Cornish coast...
Whether you’re heading away or saving ideas for later, this week’s Something for the Weekend is a strong one.
🛏️
Stay
Tucked away above the Somerset landscape, this is one for slowing things down. Big views, quiet surroundings and a stay that naturally settles you into a different pace.
Everything you want from a countryside cottage without overcomplicating it. Comfortable, well thought through and easy to switch off in.
Right in the heart of Glastonbury, this is a stay with real personality. A historic building, layered interiors and even its own theatre space, it feels like more than just somewhere to sleep.
One of the more unique stays you’ll come across. Historic, design-led and genuinely memorable, this is the kind of place you book for something a little different, and can't stop talking about when you get home!
🍽️
Eat & Drink
Family owned and independent. No reinvention, no trends, just well-executed quality that’s built its reputation over time.
One of the best country pubs in Wales. Seasonal menus, thoughtful cooking and a setting that encourages you to stay for the evening.
Relaxed, coastal and exactly what you want after a walk. Strong coffee, good food and an easy atmosphere.
🌊
Do
Big Green Adventures, Crantock
Surfing, paddleboarding and more on one of Cornwall’s best beaches. Small group sessions, properly run, and a great way to experience the coastline beyond just sitting on the sand.
