Find peace in Dorset<br />

Sometimes all you need to feel at your best is a good peaceful rest somewhere<br />

warm and stress-free, where you can feel truly taken care of. For this,<br />

we have Holiday Outbuildings in Dorset. This place is just ultimate<br />

cosiness. Set on a family farm, each outbuilding has a charming luxe<br />

rustic aesthetic that will make you feel entirely at home, albeit without<br />

all the stress of actually being at home! You can eat at The Cart Shed<br />

dining barn where Mark Kick (former chef at The Ivy West Street)<br />

serves up seasonal deliciousness. Or if you’d prefer, order room service<br />

featuring local produce in classic comfort food dishes. You can<br />

even ‘text for a tipple’ (exactly what you think – send a text and<br />

get drinks sent over to wherever you may be on the farm!) As for<br />

entertainment, there’s a barn cinema you can rent out, a Yoga instructor<br />

you can book to come to your room for ‘fireside yoga’, and plenty to<br />

explore in the surrounding area including Bridport Market, the<br />

Jurassic Coast’s glorious beaches, and lots of brilliant country<br />

walks. Now go put your feet up! holidayoutbuildings.com<br />

Find romance in Greece<br />

A romantic holiday is a great way to cool down after the kid-centric chaos<br />

of the festive season! Rekindle your relationship to feel loved, supported<br />

and appreciated just the way you are, so you can feel like a new you,<br />

without having to change a thing! For your amorous destination, we<br />

have The Ixian Grand & All Suites Hotel, an all-inclusive adultsonly<br />

five star haven that lounges on a stunning private beachfront<br />

on the west coast of Rhodes island. Picture waking up in your<br />

own swim-up room overlooking the soothing waters of the<br />

Aegean sea, able to jump right into your private pool;<br />

sipping wine over a candle-lit dinner for two at one of<br />

many internationally themed eateries; treating yourself<br />

to a Turkish bath at the Aegeo Spa; or exploring the<br />

temples, markets and ruins of the nearby ancient cities<br />

of Rhodes. Book before the end of March and you can get<br />

a 30% discount from March 23rd to November 9th for two<br />
