Offering a tranquil escape, Stoke Rochford Hall in Lincolnshire is one of those welcoming places that wows from the outside and continues to please internally. The former Victorian manor house sits in stunning formal gardens, amongst extensive countryside that's ready and waiting to be explored.

Luxury guest room accommodation is situated in the Mansion House with standard and classic rooms in either the stone built Old Stable Courtyard or the Annex. For a real treat, the individually designed Junior Suites will impress with their period features, high ceilings and stunning views over the gardens and parklands.

While staying here, make some time for some of the local places of interest including Issac Newton's birthplace and family home in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth and the Easton Walled Garden.

Winter Walks & Weekend Getaways

Devon has always been a tourist hotspot with its combination of pretty villages, seaside towns and rolling countryside.

Spectacular coast lines and areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty make for a year-round walker's wonderland.

If you want to add some quality relaxation into a weekend away, Best Western The Dartmouth Hotel Golf and Spa is the perfect prescription. Located just four miles from the historic town of Dartmouth and less than 30 miles from Dartmoor National Park, the hotel has a highly rated spa with an indoor pool, sauna, relaxation room and steam rooms. The property also boasts two exceptional golf courses.

Dining at The Dartmouth Hotel is a mouth-watering experience too! Executive Head Chef Robert Walsh has a real passion for local ingredients so catch of the day from the nearby fishing town of Brixham will certainly feature on the evening menu!

The well-walked tracks and trails of Suffolk stretch from countryside to coast, meandering via wildlife wetlands, woodlands and heaths, through historic towns like Bury St. Edmunds and the walled city of Ipswich, to the medieval town of Lavenham with its circular walks, pretty half-timber cottages, tea rooms and galleries.

Add in some forest playgrounds, stately homes, gardens, windmills and castles, and a weekend in Suffolk will have you returning for another stay before you can say Constable Country!

Our top pick for Suffolk is the Mill Hotel in Sudbury. This charming converted water mill sits on the banks of the River Stour, where the setting is impressive and the riverside walks satisfyingly medicinal. The hotel beautifully combines period features, like the old waterwheel that takes centre stage in the popular restaurant, along with artefacts and antiques.

The guestrooms are modern and comfortable, well appointed and relaxing and if you get a view over the surrounding meadows, you won't be disappointed!

Winter Walks & Weekend Getaways

We couldn't possibly feature a weekend away walking and not include the Lake District! It would be like Christmas without a famous department store advert! And talking of Christmas, our next featured hotel has a number of offers running for a Christmas or winter break.

Skelwith Bridge Hotel is a short drive from the busy town of Ambleside which lies at the head of Lake Windermere. This hotel is known for its warm welcome to walkers plus it has the added appeal of being dog friendly, and it has its own drying room for those days when you get caught in the rain too!

There's a good selection of short and long walks, varying from easy to more strenuous, with many walks starting at the front door of the hotel and once you return, it's to real log fires, real ales and really comforting meals for hungry fell walkers!

Winter Walks & Weekend Hideaways

For a stay closer to Windermere, you can't get much nearer than the beautiful Belsfield hotel. Built in 1845, it stands in six acres of gardens and has unparalleled views stretching out over the famous lake.

Guest rooms at The Belsfield feature Laura Ashley designer furnishings and décor, a theme that continues throughout the hotel where guests can relax in the lounge by the log fire, enjoy tea in the Drawing Room or a pre-dinner drink in the Library.

The Belsfield is just a ten minute walk from the centre of Bowness, where you have the choice of more than 100 walks to pick from!
