Many congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from us at YourHols on the news of their arrival.
Some eight or nine weeks into her pregnancy, Kate is already feeling some baby blues thanks to morning sickness and she’s been working pretty hard too – so here are some babymoon ideas from us and the team at Enjoy England if she needs to take some weight off her feet…
For a last trip for DINKY (double income, no kids yet) couples, Chewton Glen (www.chewtonglen.com) in Hampshire is an excellent choice. The country house hotel offers a pregnancy glow package at its spa that includes a 50 minute facial treatment from £72 0r weekend escape packages from £427.
The couple could also Babymoon at The Montpellier Chapter Hotel (www.themontpellierchapterhotel.com) in Cheltenham which launched a babymoon package earlier this year. The two-night stay includes a 60 minute REN spa treatment for mum, while dad can relax in the bar or enjoy a treatment of his own. Prices are from £299.
Summer Lodge (www.summerlodgehotel.co.uk) is a relaxing weekend retreat offering a programme of Mama Mio maternity treatments designed to relax, comfort and nourish. Their Yummy Tummy omega‐rich facial for the ummy is a full‐on stress-banishing treat. Pre and post natal treatments from £45. Accommodation prices start from £265 per night (weekdays) and £295 per night (weekends) based on two adults sharing a Classic Room.

Directline Holidays have also got some suggestions as to where the Royal couple can spend some quality time together. CEO Maria Whiteman said: “Babymoons have been become increasingly popular and are set to become even more in demand now that there’s such a high profile pregnancy in the news. It’s a great opportunity for a couple to relax and enjoy quality time together for a ‘last hurrah’ before the baby arrives and their lives change forever.”
