The Resolution Hotel, Whitby, North Yorkshire Set within an 18th-Century mansion widely regarded as one of the most beautiful buildings in Whitby when it was constructed, the Resolution Hotel sits in the heart of the atmospheric village and sets the perfect tone to begin the sojourn. Each newly renovated room is traditionally decorated with modern touches added for luxury and comfort.
The Shireburn Arms, Hurst Green, Lancashire: Steeped in history and renowned for its good food and warm welcome, the Shireburn Arms is situated in the idyllic village of Hurst Green and offers superb views over the Ribble Valley. The award-winning, traditional country inn boasts charming rooms and oak-beamed bars serving real ales.
The Cotswolds Lodge, Oxford, England: A Wisteria clad stone building dating back to 1660, the smart, family-run Cotswolds Lodge is ideally located for our sojourn and just a short walk to everything in Oxford. Situated between Keble and Somerville Colleges, the inviting abode has changed little since the days that Tolkien himself surely walked past. Each of its thirty bedrooms displays traditional British character and its charming restaurant offers the very best of classic British food. Its wonderful walled terrace provides a relaxing environment to enjoy an afternoon tea or an evening cocktail. And don’t miss the live jazz that is performed here every Friday evening.
