Have you heard? I’m pleased to share with you that England is now open to fully vaccinated U.S. travelers! If you’re seeking a grand, yet peaceful escape, I’ve gathered four destinations, from stately mansions to expansive estates. All are uniquely English, steeped in history, and feature immaculately landscaped gardens, rejuvenating spas, and indulgent dining.
Remember, when you, your family, or friends work with me, you’ll be treated like royalty and gain access to a world of personalized travel experiences. It’s my privilege to manage your travel, saving you time and creating remarkable experiences to exceed your high expectations. I look forward to hearing from you and treating you to a safe and refreshing escape across the pond—or any destination that’s your cup of tea.
ESCAPE TO BATH
STAY AT THE ROYAL CRESCENT HOTEL & SPA
Behind its prestigious doors, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa has an acre of gardens in which to find refuge. I recommend you begin your exploration on The Sun Terrace to sample the alfresco menu with a glass of Champagne. Then, stroll across the manicured lawn to the Spa & Bath House—your very own sanctuary, pictured above. After an award-winning spa treatment, you’re just in time to enjoy afternoon tea in the garden as a variety of birds fill the air with their sweet songs.
Private Perks: $100 hotel credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
ESCAPE TO THE YORKSHIRE DALES
STAY AT GRANTLEY HALL
This hidden jewel in Yorkshire Dales is a must for culinary enthusiasts. Hand over your suitcase and delight in a quintessentially British afternoon tea. Or head to Norton Courtyard if you prefer to bask in the golden sunshine with an apéritif—perhaps the Thomas Hardy with Grantley Gin, or the Charlotte Brontë with Prosecco? End your evening with inspired fine dining at Michelin-starred Shaun Rankin.
Private Perks: Bottle of champagne and box of chocolates, history tour of the hotel, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
ESCAPE TO BERKSHIRE
STAY AT CLIVEDEN
At Cliveden, you’ll find extraordinary extravagance and remarkable refinement. This grand stately home is set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, surrounded by 376 acres of magnificent formal gardens and parkland. You’ll be drawn to the water for a tailor-made gourmet boat picnic on a lovingly restored vintage launch, perhaps after a charming night in the Spring Cottage—both pictured above.
Private Perks: $100+ resort credit, complimentary daily breakfast, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
ESCAPE TO HAMPSHIRE
STAY AT CHEWTON GLEN HOTEL
One of the world’s finest country hotels, Chewton Glen sits in lovely parkland in the New Forest National Park. A woodland walk will take you to the nearby shore—a stroll made all the more magical if you encounter some of the area’s wild horses. If you are brave enough to commit to something more outdoorsy than a round of croquet, consider a stay in the resort’s unique treehouse suites.
Private Perks: $100 hotel credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrades, and more.
