Woodland Retreats
There's nothing quite as relaxing as staying in a forest or woodland location for a few days. Among the trees you can feel very far from anywhere and it's impossible not to relax, plus there is usually a whole hunk of countryside to explore on your doorstep, so you can ditch the car and just explore your surroundings on foot – again, a fabulously stress-free way to spend a few days, especially if you have somewhere comfortable and welcoming that serves good food to come back to. Browse our selection of great woodland hotels and forest retreats to find the best places to do just that!
