British Winter Short Breaks

Great little warming winter short breaks

There is something special about a mini-break in wintertime. Arriving at a grand country house hotel set within grounds sparkling with frost; indulging in hearty food or a relaxing spa experience to restore and rejuvenate; pulling on wellies or walking boots to explore pristine and peaceful countryside; snuggling down in front of a roaring, fire – not to mention the ever-present anticipation of snow in the air.
