Stately staycation stays that could cost you less than a Travelodge, from Devon to Wales

admin

Downstairs in the drawing room, someone is remembering their scales on the baby grand piano. From outside, shrieks drift up as children launch themselves into the deep, dark lake fringed with ducks and paddleboards.

And as you relax in the slipper bath in the master bathroom, beyond the open French windows your gaze rests on a mighty oak, one of 30,000 trees planted across this private sliver of Devon countryside.

Swallows flit in and out of the bucolic view and

Glorious walks in Spain that will make the spirits soar

admin

Night is falling and the air is cooling. I’ve been walking in the hills in spring sunshine. So after some open-mouthed stargazing, I’ve taken root in a venerable Andalucian inn, El Padrino, with roof-beams of smoke-black sweet chestnut and a jolly barmaid who speaks not a word of English.
