With two Bank Holidays in May, there’s time to escape to the countryside. Hand Picked Hotels, a collection of 17 UK country house hotels, is offering overnight packages from £145 per room per night with extra treats if you book before the end of next month.
The ‘Elegant Spring Escapes’ includes a pre-dinner glass of wine and three-course dinner for two followed by an overnight stay and traditional breakfast. You can also upgrade your stay at the seven spa hotels and enjoy an Elemis facial or full body massage for £50 per person.
You could escape to the foothills of Snowdonia staying at the Seiont Manor Hotel from £149, a four-star country house in 150 acres of grounds surrounded by farmland, lakes and rivers – the ideal countryside retreat. If you are feeling energetic, you could climb Mount Snowdon then relax in the hotel or take a dip in the indoor pool.
Head to Shakespeare country and check in to the Ettington Park Hotel from £155, in 40 acres of parkland in Warwickshire. Six miles from the centre of Stratford-Upon-Avon makes it an ideal base for a cultural spring break.
Or, hop over to the Channel Islands to Jersey and the L’Horizon Hotel & Spa from £159. With its picturesque location on the St Brelades Bay, you can relax on the golden sands and enjoy the hotel’s pool, a spa pool overlooking the bay and gourmet dining.
