Windermere WINTER 2022

Who’s up for a scenic hike? If a staycation is more on the cards for you this winter, we highly recommend hitting the hills in the Lake District. The Windermere area to be exact.

We can picture it now; you're all wrapped up, head to toe in a puffer jacket, woolly hat and boots, enjoying your breakfast with a view, about to go on a breathtaking hike and finish the day with some bubbles in the hot tub. This trip oozes well-being, with plenty of fresh, crisp air in your lungs, mindfulness in full bloom, and relaxation as the priority. Let’s not forget the photo opportunities too!

The snowy Christmas break you’ve always dreamed of.

Swiss-France

WINTER 2022

Here’s the plan: you book flights to Geneva, (you can get a return ticket for as little as £50), then choose your accommodation on the FranceSwitzerland border so you get the best of both worlds. Accommodation in France tends to be a bit better value and you’re more likely to find a chalet with a private hot tub and an incredible view.

On any given day you can choose to head up the Matterhorn mountains in Switzerland, and feast on bread, cheese and wine in the evenings in France. Or enjoy a day of skiing in Mont Blanc and gorge on Swiss chocolate. The choice is yours, and what a dilemma to have!

Budapest WINTER 2022

It’s got to be done, hasn’t it? A European Christmas market; snowy rooftops, the smell of churros in the air, and mulled wine warming your hands. Festive heaven!

If you haven’t already been to Budapest, it’s a must, no matter what time of year it is. From ruin bars dotted around the city to outdoor spa baths and plenty of history to ponder. It’s possibly the best weekend break you’ll find in Europe. And have you heard of a Sparty? The Szechenyi Baths are a calm oasis during the day, but by night they evolve into wet and wild parties with live electronic music and nights to remember.
