Planning a weekend away in the South West? From delicious seasonal tearoom treats to cliff-top castle walks, the South West of England is packed full of exciting opportunities. Discover the myths of Tintagel Castle, the dramatic birthplace of the legendary King Arthur, soak up the history of the iconic Stonehenge or wander the cobbled streets of a Cotswold village.

Perhaps pair it with an authentic afternoon tea in a quaint tea room or an indulgent three-course dinner for two. Whether you’re looking for a 5-star hotel, a boutique B&B or even a luxurious yurt, we’ve got something that will tick all the boxes.
