Kip & Nook is a little patch of heaven nestled in the Yorkshire countryside and is the ultimate luxurious hideaway. We visited this dreamy getaway a couple of years back, and were lucky enough to be invited back this Spring to check out their latest hideaway, The Den. Kip & Nook has a collection of unique and quirky places to stay from cosy converted containers and off-grid hideaways to a barn big enough for up to 8 guests. More recently they have even introduced luxurious camping pitches so there is quite literally a stay for everyone in mind.

At Crowdy Hall, you’ll find a rural off-grid retreat featuring bespoke, hand-crafted cabins, each offering a secluded escape in the open countryside of County Durham.

Read moreEMBRACING SLOW TRAVEL - A CANAL BOAT ADVENTURE WITH ROAD HOUSE NARROWBOATS , WALES
The UK is home to a pretty special canal network that in the past was crucial to the country’s industry. Today, the canals lend the perfect opportunity to get out on the water and appreciate life in the slow lane. The summer is a dreamy time to jump aboard and live out that canal cruising fantasy conjured up from our Rosie and Jim watching childhood. Slowly cruising along sun-dappled stretches of water, with ducks for company and welcoming waves from the friendly houseboat community, offers a truly unique travel experience like no other. Throw in sun-drenched beer gardens, pretty villages and ample wildlife spotting along the way, and you’ve got the magic ingredients for a slow and relaxing summer adventure.
Read moreA COSY ESCAPE- STAYING AT THE KING ARTHUR HOTEL, WALES
Nestled within the rolling hills of Cefn Bryn, The King Arthur Hotel bears all the hallmarks of a quintessential countryside stay: A snug pub filled to the brim with local ales and gins, a beer garden big enough for both patrons and the roaming farm life, a restaurant to write home about, cosy rooms with views and an incredibly warm hospitality that makes it difficult to leave. The UK’s love for pubs with rooms is growing and this watering hole turned hotel sets the standard.
Read moreA DREAMY OUTDOOR ESCAPE - GLAMPING AT COME BY, WALES
Ah, the British summer. It is my humble opinion that nowhere compares to the UK in the summer. Long walks in the countryside, lazy afternoons reading in the balmy sunshine and camping adventures make up the majority of how I spend my time once the brief but sweet summer hits our Isles. Spending some time at Come By, in Powys, Wales, combines those favourites perfectly. Getting back to nature is encouraged here at Come by, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that means back to basics. In fact, off-grid has never looked easier.

I am a cabin retreat fanatic at this point. Give me a quirky accommodation and a heaped dose of countryside and I swoon. So, when my friend Emily suggested we take a little trip, I couldn’t have said yes quicker. After endless searching for the perfect getaway, Emily found Cynefin Retreats. Set amongst woodlands and lush meadows, Cynefin’s pods and lodges offer luxurious outdoor-indoor getaways. Set on the Welsh borders, with the nearest town of Hay-On-Wye, Cynefin is heaven for fellow countyside-seekers.

As a treat for Key’s birthday this year, I booked Kip & Nook with relaxation and luxury in mind and we were treated to both and then some. Kip & Nook has a collection of unique and quirky places to stay from cosy containers and off-grid hideaways to a barn big enough for 8 guests. There is a stay for everyone in mind.

Read moreGLAMPING AT THE DRAGON'S REST, HEREFORDSHIRE
There is nothing I love more than having the opportunity to spend a long weekend away in the countryside. Having somewhere booked for January is always welcomed as I find the post-christmas gloom of the month can be overwhelmingly dreary. As it turns out The Dragon’s Rest, a trio of cosy cabins with glorious views across rolling fields, was the perfect place to get away for a reset.
