Whether you\u2019re planning to escape to the country, unwind by the beach, or catch up on culture with a city break, here are our top\u00a0UK<\/a> destinations to visit plus where to stay.<\/h3>\n

England<\/h2>\n

For some quality country time\u2026the Cotswolds<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To stay in the\u00a0Cotswolds<\/a>\u00a0is to immerse yourself in England\u2019s rural past. Each impossibly pretty village offers a glimpse of \u2018how they used to live\u2019 with chocolate box cottages and honey-hued Georgian mansions. Potter about the postcard-worthy streets of the likes of Broadway Village, where rustic farmers markets, quaint tea rooms, and old-fashioned sweet shops can be found at every tranquil turn. With its gently rolling hills dotted with lavender and wild flower meadows, the Cotswolds are made for long rambles, dog walking, and horse riding \u2013 home to over 5,000km of picturesque footpaths and bridleways. To the west you\u2019ll find Regency\u00a0Cheltenham<\/a>\u00a0with its boutiques and boulevards, while the dreaming spires of Oxford outline the east.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Coach House at The Fish Hotel<\/em><\/p>\n

Where to stay:\u00a0<\/strong>The 400-acre\u00a0Farncombe Estate<\/a>\u00a0ripples with Cotswold charm where you\u2019ll find not one, but three boutique hotels with a farmhouse cool feel. Grown-ups can put their feet up in the \u2018no rules\u2019\u00a0Foxhill Manor<\/a>, while little ones and four-legged friends can run riot in the treehouses and hillside huts at\u00a0The Fish<\/a>. For some well-earned wellbeing, spa-seekers will be most at home at\u00a0Dormy House<\/a>, where you can soak up some sunshine from the hot tub on the spectacular Spa Terrace. If you venture towards Cheltenham, you\u2019ll be backing the right horse with\u00a0The Greenway Hotel & Spa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a\u00a0Bridgerton<\/em>\u00a0inspired break\u2026Bath<\/h3>\n

Long before Lady Whistledown\u2019s society papers brought\u00a0Bridgerton<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0Bath<\/a>, it was seen as the diamond of the city break scene.\u00a0Read our complete guide to the World Heritage city\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where to stay:\u00a0<\/strong>Perfectly placed for a turn about \u2018the ton\u2019,\u00a0The Gainsborough Bath Spa<\/a>\u00a0is a stylish spa hotel with pools drawn from Bath Spa\u2019s thermal waters, where your period drama fantasies are sure to become reality. Meanwhile, the glorious grounds of Georgian country house\u00a0Homewood<\/a>\u00a0are just a few miles from the city, giving guests the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

If you like to be beside the seaside\u2026Cornwall<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A treasure trove of hidden coves, golden beaches, and vibrant fishing towns, it is easy to see why\u00a0Cornwall<\/a>\u00a0has inspired artists and writers for centuries. Famous locations include Tintagel, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, and the wilds of Bodmin Moor where Daphne Du Maurier\u2019s smugglers came to Jamaica Inn. Find some inspiration of your own in St Ives, home to numerous galleries, artists\u2019 studios and Cornwall\u2019s Tate. While there is plenty to explore along the miles of unspoilt coastline, Cornwall is best seen from the water \u2013 whether by surfboard, sailing boat, or paddle board, you\u2019re sure to get a glimpse of whales and dolphins. Back on dry land, find your way to a harbour-side restaurant to sample the fishermen\u2019s catch, or a cosy pub for pints of crisp, fruity cider.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The view from the Whittington Suites at The Nare, a country house haven on the Roseland Peninsula.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where to stay:\u00a0<\/strong>Flanked by colourful gardens and overlooking the white sands and gentle waves of Gerrans Bay,\u00a0The Nare<\/a>\u00a0has all the exclusivity of a private island. Be sure to book one of the four brand new Whittington Suites, the largest sea-view hotel suites in Britain.<\/p>\n

To satisfy culture cravings\u2026London<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for wondering where to start when it comes to a break in\u00a0London<\/a>. The city\u2019s size, scale and layers of history mean the options can seem overwhelming. But combine a few famous sights with a sprinkle of lesser known gems and you\u2019ll soon see why London is the city that everyone falls in love with. Not short on green spaces, there are picnic spots aplenty \u2013 from historic Hyde Park to leafy Hampstead Heath, and Battersea Park with lovely gardens and a boating lake. Which brings us neatly to the River Thames, the beating heart of the city which connects many of the capital\u2019s best sights where you can easily base a day around its banks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the city at a weekend, make time for street markets. For independent arts and crafts, head to Spitalfields. Colombia Road Flower Market fills the street with blooms as far as the eye can see \u2013 get there early for the best picks. Portobello Road is the destination for antiques and to admire the pastel facades of the upmarket Notting Hill area, while Borough Market is a mecca for food and drink.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ampersand, an eclectic design hotel in South Kensington<\/em><\/p>\n

For the best of town and country\u2026Surrey<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Londoners looking to escape the city bustle need look no further than their own doorstep. A vision of home-counties perfection,\u00a0Surrey<\/a>\u00a0boasts some of the best English gardens in the country along with charming market towns, historic hamlets, ancient heathland, and scenic waterways. Covering a quarter of the county, the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the place for city dwellers to unwind in an array of countryside pursuits, to work up an appetite for hearty local fare in one of the many characterful pubs. For the royal treatment, trace the steps of the Tudors with a day trip to Hampton Court Palace or make a stop at Runnymede \u2013 the Thames-side gardens where King John signed the Magna Carta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Mitre Hotel photographed by\u00a0Claire Menary<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Where to stay:\u00a0<\/strong>Londoners looking for a cosy and close-by getaway should head to The Mitre Hotel<\/a>, a riverside retreat with\u00a0pet-friendly<\/a> rooms for those all-important dog walks in nearby Bushy Park.

For storybook settings\u2026Sussex<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the land of grand houses and fine gardens; the stomping ground of world-renowned writers and painters \u2013 fringed by seaside resorts and bordered by ancient forest. Dip your toes in the sea at Eastbourne and Brighton, or into 1,000 years of history at Arundel Castle. Walk the white cliffs of the South Downs, where you\u2019ll be immersed in rolling hills and peaceful rivers, wildflower meadows and tranquil woodland. And, to round off your trip, pop open a bottle of\u00a0Sussex\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0own acclaimed sparkling wine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mirabelle Restaurant at The Grand Hotel, close to Beachy Head (right)<\/em><\/p>\n

Where to stay:\u00a0<\/strong>For a classic English seaside escape, look no further than\u00a0The Grand Hotel<\/a>\u00a0in Eastbourne, overlooking the English Channel and the cliffs of Beachy Head. Country house hunters can revel in the secret gardens, paths through woods and elegant lakes at\u00a0Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club<\/a>, or 120 acres of beautiful parkland at\u00a0Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scotland<\/h2>\n

Where cosmopolitan meets cosy\u2026Edinburgh<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Circus Lane (left) and a Stockbridge shopfront (right)<\/em><\/p>\n

Sitting pretty, yet hilly, between rolling countryside and a windswept, sandy seaside,\u00a0Edinburgh<\/a>\u00a0offers the best of both worlds with its Medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town, interspersed with well-kept gardens and varied architecture. Among the cobbled streets and Gothic buildings, you will find more restaurants per head than any other city in the UK, a trendy underground selection of speakeasies, gin distilleries, and whiskey bars, along with the country\u2019s best vintage shopping scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Edinburgh Castle photographed by Chloe Frost-Smith<\/em><\/p>\n

Wander along the Royal Mile or the colourful Grassmarket shops to pick up some Scottish souvenirs, before heading up to the Castle for an insight into the vibrant history of this military fortress, and the city\u2019s best-known landmark. Make time for a stroll down to Dean Village, a photogenic patchwork of 19th-century buildings and bridges set along the Water of Leith, just five minutes\u2019 walk from Princes Street. If you\u2019re lucky with the weather, take a trip to Portobello Beach, a charming stretch of seaside only a few miles from the city centre. Don\u2019t miss out on the weekly Sunday farmers\u2019 market in Stockbridge, a tucked-away area of the city with a village vibe, and a local hotspot for organic delis and stylish gastropubs.<\/p>\n

The Orkney Suite at The Roseate Edinburgh<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Breakfast in bed at Nira Caledonia<\/em><\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s complimentary parking is a serious bonus (this is a notoriously difficult city when it comes to parking) and four-legged friends are welcome in selected rooms at Hampton House.

For back-to-nature adventures\u2026The Highlands<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Heather dotted coastlines, sweeping skies twinkling with stars and oil-painting sunsets, craggy castles and dramatic mountains, lochs, and rivers teeming with wildlife. The Scottish Highlands is rugged wilderness at its best, unapologetically untamed beauty. If lockdown has left you craving the great outdoors, this is the place to come and just get lost in an off-grid world of adventure. The three hour drive from Edinburgh up to\u00a0Fort William<\/a>\u00a0is well worth every minute, with plenty of picturesque stop-off points along The Trossachs National Park, Loch Lomond, and Glencoe.

Wales<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to its spellbinding stretch of National Park coastline, untamed sheep-grazed hills dotted with crumbling stiles and kissing gates, pretty market towns and quaint fishing villages, it\u2019s easy to see why\u00a0Pembrokeshire<\/a>\u00a0is the most popular holiday destination in\u00a0Wales<\/a>.

Northern Ireland<\/h2>\n

For a cinematic city break\u2026Belfast<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve indulged in more television during lockdown than you\u2019d like to admit, you\u2019ll recognise this scenic city from your screen as the filming location for a star-studded line up of shows, including\u00a0Line of Duty<\/em>,\u00a0Marcella<\/em>,\u00a0Bloodlands<\/em>, and\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>.

A gateway to dramatic landscapes, Belfast is perfectly placed for day trips \u2013 from the UNESCO listed Giant\u2019s Causeway to Dunluce Castle, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

Channel Islands*<\/h2>\n

To castaway close to home\u2026Jersey<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*No, not technically part of the UK, but we couldn\u2019t resist the secluded shoreline of Jersey, the largest of the\u00a0Channel Islands<\/a>.
