<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThis boutique hotel in the heart of Cambridge offers more than your standard hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moment I walked through the doors, I was immediately greeted by the lovely front desk staff that showed me to my room. The room was quirky and pleasant, with colourful wallpaper and filled with all the nibbles and beverages you could need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What really caught my eye was the menu to the rooftop-terrace restaurant (SIX Brasserie). After preparing for dinner, I made my way to the top floor and was seated at the table with the best view of the city. Now for the best part… the food! The menu had a great range of dishes for both vegetarians and meat-eaters a-like. I settled for the Pan Seared Scallops starter, Vegan burger for the main, and cheese board to finish. I can truly say the dinner did not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complimented by fantastic service and wonderful beverages, this was the best part of the stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is until I arrived at The Glassworks Gym & Spa the following morning. Being a fitness enthusiast, the gym was beyond what is offered at most hotels. This gym had all the equipment you could need, and had a stunning, loft-like interior. What better way to start you morning off than a spa treatment right after showering off a great workout? Naturally, I had to check out the spa and treatments. I booked in the Elemis Facial & Massage and stepped into the sauna waiting area to sit back and relax before my appointment began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facilities were extremely lovely, comfortable and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After my treatment, I couldn\u2019t have felt more relaxed and it was certainly hard to leave this lush spa. The products used during my treatment made my skin clear, even and soft. I certainly looked like I had been on a holiday retreat. With this hidden gem being only an hour and a half away from London, this is the perfect weekend escape to relax, and enjoy the historic city. I\u2019d highly recommend The Varsity Hotel and all of it\u2019s wonderful quirks and luxuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nTucked away in the countryside of Northamptonshire, we found a stunning home that will be sure to getting you packing your bags for a weekend away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get a more personal view of what makes this home so special (outside of its marvelous exterior) we went to the host Jess, to get all the details on what to expect on your stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q&A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nQ: What makes your home a unique\/special place to visit for the winter months?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Whatever the winter throws at us, you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside on even the most squally day. The sunken seating area, with bean bags and cushions has both underfloor heating and the funky log burner stove, meaning that the house is cosy and comfy despite the outside. It\u2019s great to look up at the trees blowing in the wind<\/em> or watch the rain coming down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nQ: What are some cool features?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: The house is a unique mix of the old and the new, the huge glass atriums and floor to ceiling first floor woodland window are spectacular. Being in the middle of nature is a big draw at the house, the private gardens, with enclosed garden, meadow, orchard, woodland glade and woodland clearing there are so many areas to explore. Plus there are some fine countryside walks to be had. The Woodland spa can be used year round, both are wood fired and so very quick to heat up and use.There\u2019s nothing like being in a hot tub in the rain and the sauna and outdoor cold shower are a perfect combo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nEven try out the Ice Barrel for the ultimate in kick starts for your immune system!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
