STAYCATIONS
THE DECADENT COUNTRY HIDEAWAY Bethnal & Bec
Out in the rolling Hertfordshire fields, the retreats at Bethnal & Bec are the peak of luxury, coming complete with king-size beds, aromatherapy kits, underfloor heating, a locally sourced breakfast hamper and lots more, to make for the most soothing stay you could imagine. The Bec retreat even comes with a rainforest shower and outdoor whirlpool bath, while the freshly launched Foaling Box is furnished with a super-king-sized bed and antique rolltop bath.
THE COSY COTTAGE TRIP
NORFOLK BOUND
In the hope of sharing his passion for North Norfolk with others, Simon Graham founded Norfolk Bound – a stunning roster of local holiday lets dotted around the region. The jewel in the crown is undoubtedly Little Massingham Manor, an historic stately home built in 1907 and overlooking 63 acres of private gardens, meadows and woodlands. If you’d prefer something smaller, escape to one of three holiday lets around the grounds: a cosy former log shed, Nutkin Cottage; a converted traditional shepherd’s hut, Jacobs Hut; or the picturesque and recently renovated Manor Cottage. Norfolk Bound also presents a series of other beautiful holiday lets around the county.
If you’re more of an activities-driven holidayer and like having plenty to do on your break, Turing Locke is offering a saving of 20% on rooms and an extra 10% on an experience ticket until 30 September – including access to Cambridge’s tour bus for 24 hours and a guided punt along the River Cam. Don’t leave your pup at home – all hotels are dog-friendly, so the whole family can come along to enjoy the fun. Plus, for the outdoorsy, there are a wealth of walks to explore, from lush meadows to footpaths through fields. Equally, Turing Locke is but a stone’s throw from Cambridge, offering easy access to the historic city and its winding river. When you’re back from any excursions, kick back in your room with a fully fitted kitchen and lounge space for relaxing in every apartment. An extremely popular cocktail bar, Dutch, plus a hair salon, coffee shop, gym and co-working space are all onsite to cater for your every need. TURING LOCKE THE PUP-FRIENDLY FAMILY BREAK
