Unique Stays

As the organiser, you carry the weight of making the summer holiday work for everyone. You are balancing dates, budgets, preferences and expectations while scrolling through endless listings that all start to look the same. It is no wonder the search feels heavy before the trip has even begun.

Westbrook Court Country House, one of Herefordshire’s most distinctive contemporary rural stays, is leaning into the new “Read Away” travel trend and is proud to announce its new position as a dedicated Book Club Retreat Venue.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns chilly, there’s no better time to escape to a romantic winter retreat. Picture crackling log fires, candlelit suppers, steaming hot tubs under starry skies and long countryside walks. Whether you crave a cosy cottage hidden in the woods, a snug cabin by the sea, or a luxurious bolthole with sweeping views, winter is the perfect season to slow down and reconnect. Discover magical places to hibernate with the one you love and make memories that will melt even the chilliest of days.  Here are some of our favourites.

Winter glamping.  Are you completely mad, I hear you say.....  As it happens, no.  It's a thing.  And it's not just a thing, it's an extremely fun, very cosy, really quite original, something to write home about thing.  Here at One Off Places we have just launched our new Winter Glamping category, and a quick flick through what's on offer will make you see what we mean. 

Where are you going and what are you doing for this year’s holiday?  This is the time of year that many people will book their summer holidays.  The chaos of the festive season is over, yet here in the UK the short days and often dreary weather can make us all long for warm climes.  Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes a decent holiday.
