Unique experiences
Wake up together under a thatched roof to the irresistible smell of bacon sizzling and eggs frying. Whether it’s a dewy summer day or a dazzling winter dawn, mystical castles, glittering cities, and heart-quickening beautiful countryside await. This is the land of romantic Arthurian legends after all, whose bluebell woods, rolling meadows and towering hedgerows inspired the Romantic poets, and with towns that boast sophisticated restaurants and cutting-edge galleries. Perhaps a punt down a river, a stop-off at a grand stately home or a stroll between pubs along a canal towpath will even spark a proposal…
