The Pig hotels are known for their farm to table food, cosy accommodations and sweeping grounds for long country walks. This Pig is a wonderful historic home - be sure to walk through their impressive gardens.

“Hit the road again, in our case with a vintage morgan from Bespokes. Warning! Fabulous for Cornwall's winding back roads - not so fabulous for the motorway.”

 

Pay attention as you'll get to see Stonehenge on your drive.

Once you've made it to Cornwall, stay at the Artist Residence, if you're looking for a perfectly located stay in Penzance. One of the four @artistresidence, this boutique hotel group was originally founded in Brighton. Co-founder Justin was inspired by the surrounding art scene and offered artists board in exchange for room decoration.

The Nanjizal Beach

“Only accessible by foot, you'll take a beautiful walk through farm fields after you've pulled up. This hidden gem has a fairy book feel.”

“It's BYO-everything for this escape. I was lucky enough to pick up a beautiful straw basket that morning from No. 56 to fill for the day.”

 

5:00 PM

“This bar serves coffee, pastries and sandwiches during the day and natural wines, charcuterie boards and cheese in the evening. Stay all night or stop by for pre-dinner drinks.”

 

Sunday

“Recommended to stay in Cornwall for at least a week, but either way, break up the drive home to London with a stop at the enchanting The Newt In Somerset.”

“This stunning historic hotel is complete with apple orchard (for in-house cider), pool + spa and most importantly, the most stunning (might I add, at your service) picnic lunch. They say save the best for last and nothing rings truer than @thenewta…
