Christmas Gift Voucher ideas from Travel PR

Still searching for that perfect Christmas present? This year, why not give friends and loved ones the joy of travel, with these festive gift voucher suggestions from Travel PR?

The gift that keeps on giving – from £50 with holidaycottages.co.uk

Gifting someone a getaway isn’t just exciting in the moment of opening. Or the actual holiday itself – a complete change of scene, tucked away in the countryside or by a beautiful bit of coast. It’s the choosing where to go and what to do there, and then a lifetime of remembering. A holidaycottages.co.uk Christmas Voucher is a supremely kind gift: an invitation to a loved one to plan, to enjoy and to remember. Available in any value from £50, vouchers are valid for two years. Bizzy’s Bolthole (sleeps two, plus two dogs), for example, is a quirky and, quite frankly, irresistible property set amidst glorious Yorkshire Dales walking territory. Exquisitely designed, the property has a wood-burner, a stylish kitchen area, a characterful bedroom, and a mezzanine snug. A three-night self-catering stay costs from £142 pp (£284 total). £20 supplement per dog. Visit holidaycottages.co.uk (www.holidaycottages.co.uk).

The gift of exploration – campervan gift cards from Yescapa

Give your loved one the promise of an epic road trip with campervan gift vouchers. Peer-to-peer rental platform Yescapa has over 10,000 vehicles across every corner of the UK and Europe – from vintage VW campers to luxurious coach-built motorhomes. Enjoy the freedom of the open road with nights spent sleeping under the stars, breathtaking views of coast and country, campfire treats and ghost stories, and off-grid living. The lucky recipient has a whole breadth of adventures to choose from – will it be driving the North Coast 500 in Scotland, cruising along the dramatic coastal roads of eastern Mallorca, taking in the beaches and cream teas of Devon and Cornwall, or loading on the mountain bikes for an adrenalin-fuelled tour of Snowdonia? Gift cards can be purchased for whichever value you choose, and can be redeemed against any booking. All bookings include self-drive hire insurance, breakdown cover and two insured drivers. Valid for one year. Visit www.yescapa.co.uk.

Four-star style in Newmarket – at Bedford Lodge & Spa

Newmarket’s only four-star hotel, Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa has a wide range of luxury gift voucher experiences to choose from this Christmas. Set amidst the world-famous town’s horse-racing headquarters and training grounds, the hotel – which has 80 comfortable, well-designed guest bedrooms and suites – is also steeped in history. It was home to the 7^th Duke of Bedford, whose wife Anne Marie is accredited with creating the quintessential concept of Afternoon Tea, and this famous British tradition can be enjoyed in the delightful surroundings of the hotel’s three secluded acres of perfectly manicured lawns and rose gardens.  Gift vouchers can be personalised with a special message and used for leisurely overnight stays, indulgent spa treatments… or a delicious afternoon tea.  For further details, visit www.bedfordlodgehotel.co.uk/gift-vouchers or call 01638 663175.
