Halfway House Inn

Make yourself at home at a 16th-century inn in Bridgnorth, whether you choose to stay above the cosy pub or in a five-bed, self-catering cottage. All rooms are en suite and most offer the choice of twin or double beds. Some rooms are dog friendly, and two have a secure adjoining door so they can be turned into one larger let. The inn offers real ale and real food, in a cosy traditional setting. The terrace has amazing Shropshire sunsets, whilst a large beer garden shuts out the world. www.halfwayhouseinn.co.uk/guest-accommodation

Overwater Marina

Overwater Marina is an award-winning holiday destination in the heart of Cheshire, a short drive from Nantwich. Offering a range of facilities and accommodation for a truly memorable stay, this small, select park consists of 10 luxury hard-standing touring pitches – or set yourself on track to relax in one of the bespoke Glamping Wagons. All are beautifully appointed with fitted bathroom, kitchenette, stove and comfy bed, and some have a wood-fired hot tub. www. overwatermarina.co.uk

Smithy Park

Smithy Park at Abermule, Powys has a friendly, family feel and is the perfect place from which to explore beautiful Mid Wales. The coast is just an hour’s drive away through the Cambrian Hills and there are reservoirs, castles and historic towns nearby. In addition to facilities for touring caravans and motorhomes, the self-catering Oak Cottage is now available to hire for a week or a short break. Oak Cottage was built in 1932 and this two-bedroomed, single-storey property has been refurbished to maximise room space, making it cosy yet practical. www.smithypark.co.uk
