This indulgent boutique coaching inn is just 31 miles north of Newcastle. Moody interiors with gold details create the perfect ambience for a couple’s getaway. Its rural location allows you to shut out the real world without leaving the region. Two nights at this elegant and sophisticated boutique will cost you around £350. There is also an ‘Inn & Creperie’ on-site serving hearty pub food morning-til-night.
The two-storey mini-home, The Holly Hut, is one of our favourites because of its fantastic mezzanine level with a king-size bed and spectacular bathtub views. This little getaway includes all the essentials you need, like a built-in small fridge, an oven and double-ended copper bath. Take advantage of Northumberland’s beautiful countryside in this private yet luxuriant hut.
This motor-themed maverick was voted the best boutique spa in the Good Spa Guide Awards in 2018. Unwind with an MOT day package for £129pp or if you are feeling like a total detox, try the luxury spa break which includes an overnight stay in the Morritt Hotel for £159pp.
The Garage Spa and Morritt Hotel, Durham
Price of a one-night spa stay: approx £150pp
If you love astrology and can admire the work of the famous architect George Clarke, then this staycation is the one for you. An extraordinary treehouse project – the main bedroom is inside a triangular pod with an opening roof, revealing the darkest night skies in the whole of England. Lie under Europe’s largest Gold Tier Dark Sky Park and stargaze under the duvet in your own private treehouse.
Camp Katur is the ultimate glamping off-the-grid experience. We recommend you stay in the Unidome Meadow because of its beautiful hand-made modular space. Spend your time in the 360-degree clear panoramic dome which looks out on to impressive woodland views. This location is ideal for switching off your smartphone and relaxing for a whole weekend.
