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

Hide on the Hill, Wells

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.

Stable Cottage

Everything you want from a countryside cottage without overcomplicating it. Comfortable, well thought through and easy to switch off in.

Seven Sisters, Glastonbury

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.

Dinton Dovecote

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

T.G. Pullin’s

Family owned and independent. No reinvention, no trends, just well-executed quality that’s built its reputation over time.

Felin Fach Griffin, Brecon

One of the best country pubs in Wales. Seasonal menus, thoughtful cooking and a setting that encourages you to stay for the evening.

Hermit Crab, Wales

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.

The Weekend Plan

Stays with character

Food & drink that’s worth stopping for

Fresh air, done properly

These really are some of the best places to visit in the UK...

Somerset, Wales, Cornwall or the Peaks, plenty here to build a weekend around!
