So, when it comes to enjoying a break away from home, it only seems fair that furry friends should be included. Fortunately, there are tonnes of dog friendly holiday spots around the UK, many of which are more than happy to accommodate our fluffy friends, so there really isn’t any reason they can’t join in the fun!

    Plenty to see here – the UK’s most romantic and exciting short breaks

    July 1, 2020 / No Comments

    Summer might not be cancelled after all. With news that the Government has agreed ‘air bridges’ to France, Spain, Italy and Greece, allowing tourists to travel without quarantining for 14 days upon returning, holidays abroad aren’t feeling like pipe dreams anymore. But if you’re looking for a weekend or short break that’s closer to home, you’re not alone. In fact, a Sky survey of 2,412 Britons found that 68% of people are not planning international travel in the next six months. Luckily, there are lots of fantastic holiday options available right on our doorstep.  From Hobbit Holes to Mongolian Yurts, here’s our pick of the UK’s best short breaks and weekend…

    “Culture gives comfort in times of turmoil, it unites us and makes us understand what it means to be human.” Hartwig Fischer, Director of the British Museum. It turns out that Fischer wasn’t alone in his thinking. According to ITV, the British Museum has seen a massive spike in online visitors since closing its doors. In fact, the site saw an incredible 978,548 users in the first two and a half weeks of March. Amazingly, this is double the amount of traffic than it had in March 2019.  But what’s caused this sharp peak in interest? Virtual tours.  That’s right. In 2020, being on lockdown doesn’t mean you have to…
