Escape to Serenity

Couples’ Retreats in the Garden of England

ESCAPIST TRAVEL IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH FAR-FLUNG DESTINATIONS, AS THOUGH TRUE REST AND REJUVENATION CAN ONLY BE FOUND BY BOARDING A FLIGHT AND LEAVING EVERYDAY LIFE BEHIND, BUT IN KENT, A GROWING COLLECTION OF COUPLES-ONLY STAYCATIONS ARE CHALLENGING THAT IDEA, OFFERING GUARANTEED PEACE AND A TOUCH OF ROMANCE, ALL WITHOUT VENTURING TOO FAR FROM HOME.

FROM RURAL SHEPHERD’ S HUTS AND HISTORIC COUNTRY HOUSES TO WOODLAND CABINS AND SPA BREAKS, KENT IS HOME TO A WEALTH OF SERENE ESCAPES THAT CAPTURE THE RESTORATIVE FEELING OF AN OVERSEAS GETAWAY WHILE KEEPING THE COMFORTS OF HOME CLOSE AT HAND. THESE COUPLES-ONLY RETREATS PROVIDE A CHANCE TO TRULY SWITCH OFF AND HIT THAT MUCH-NEEDED RESET BUTTON AS AUTUMN APPROACHES.
