GETAWAYS
SHORT BREAKS FOR TWO CONT.
Bath House // Stratford-upon-Avon // www.landmarktrust.org.uk
Located deep in the woods, The Bath House offers a unique and truly secluded
getaway. The ceiling and walls of the main room and bedroom are festooned
with shells and dripping icicles. The home has a living room downstairs and a
full-floor bedroom on the second floor boasting an open fire and high ceilings.
The main attraction is a plunge pool in the basement though, which is apparently
a medical essential from the 18 th century when the house was built. ‘Black Moon’ Apartment // St.Ives
www.beachspoke.com/property/black-moon/
This striking one-bedroom property overlooks the bay towards Gwithian lighthouse
and has the waves of the Atlantic crashing in beneath it. Featuring rustic masonry,
stainless steel and a mixture of black marble and granite, it looks like it’s been
carved out of a rock. Definitely a winner for anyone that loves being close to
water and taking a dip!
Fawsley Hall // Daventry // www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/fawsleyhall
A 16th-century house set in Capability Brown landscaped parkland, Fawsley
Hall has 60 special bedrooms which include 11 feature rooms. The Cedar
Restaurant on site has two AA rosettes and the award-winning spa has six
treatment rooms. For couples, this Tudor-style exclusive hotel really is an
extraordinary place to visit. The 25 Boutique B&B // Devon // www.the25.uk
Awarded ‘The World’s Best B&B’ in January 2019 by TripAdvisor’s global
algorithm that collates five-star worldwide votes, The 25 is a gorgeous boutique
B&B in Torquay – it’s exclusively for adults and has six funky, individual bedrooms
