Something for the Weekend 🗞️

Some weekends just fall into place. A good stay, a couple of proper food spots, and something simple that resets you.

This one takes you from North Wales to the Lakes, down to Devon and up to the Peaks, and it all works.

Whether you are looking to visit somewhere this weekend, or staying home to plan your next trip, this week's edition of 'Something for the weekend' is here to inspire your next UK adventure.

🛏️

Stay

Conwy Valley Getaway, North Wales

Quiet, tucked away and surrounded by some of the best views you will see in the UK. The kind of place you arrive at and instantly slow down.

Hawkhow Cottage, Lake District

Set above Windermere, this really is one of the most picture perfect stays in our whole collection. Step outside and you’re straight into the magic of The Lakes.

The Courtyard, Wales

Big group stay done properly. Converted barns overlooking Carmarthen Bay, hot tubs, indoor pool and space to do as much or as little as you want.

🍽️

Eat

One Market Street, Devon

Strong coffee, warm welcome and one of those places you accidentally spend two hours in. This is an independent Devon cafe that you'll be recommending to friends & family for sure.

The Kitchen by Wine Monkey

This is a place to eat well, drink better and let the evening unfold naturally, shaped by what’s on the plate and what’s in the glass. Perfect for date night, catching up with friends or just because!

Rose Cottage, Peak District

Right in Castleton, perfect after a walk. Homemade food, local ingredients, garden in summer, log fire in winter. Always a good idea.

🍺

Drink

Alhampton Inn, Somerset

A proper village pub. Community owned, welcoming, relaxed and somewhere you’ll end up staying longer than planned, and returning to time again.

🌊

Do

Sauna Môr, North Wales

Hot sauna, cold water, repeat. Simple, but it hits every time.

The Weekend Plan

A stay with a view

A brunch that turns into lunch

A pub you don’t rush out of

A sauna session by the sea

Plus more!

Whether you’re planning a Wales getaway, Lake District escape or a Peak District stop-off, this one’s easy to send to someone and say:

“Fancy this?”
