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.

This area of the UK is perfect if you’re looking for a countryside retreat or a sleek city escape. Head down to the utterly beautiful cliffs and beaches of Cornwall for a seaside break to remember.

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.

Pair it with a day out, a dining experience or perhaps a water sports adventure, heading back to a luxurious hotel for a night of relaxation. If you’re looking for a minibreak in Somerset, we’ve got you covered!

Lovely little gem

Booked this as a gift for my husband and we both went together. Beautiful pod with its own fishing peg, clean and warm and so comfy, small fridge freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster and a little bit of storage space was absolutely perfect just for the night or possibly 2. Met the owners and they were absolutely lovely and really helpful couldn’t ask for more! Toilet block was a very short walk away with a little washing up station they were absolutely immaculate. Would definitely recommend.

Two Night Hotel Escape with Dinner for Two
Fiona · 26-03-2026

Great treat!

Lovely venue at Stan hill court although an extra supplement was needed above the price of the voucher. Good venue, good food and a free upgrade for a wedding anniversary although no reference to the anniversary and no other freebies which we usually get from Other hotels! Menu wasn’t huge but the food was excellent and really well presented. Lovely location although you have to pay £10 for parking above the cost of the voucher and the extra charge!
