With spring just around the corner it's time to start thinking about booking a relaxing break to take time out of our busy lives. A staycation is a great opportunity to get away and enjoy all that the UK has to offer.
If you are a fan of the coast, then here is a pick of some of the most delightful and scenic places around the UK to explore.
Holm House Hotel, South Wales
(Holm House Hotel)For coastal luxury, it doesn’t come better than the elegant and sophisticated suburb of Penarth in South Wales. With a remarkable pier, and views across the Bristol Channel to the islands of Flatholm and Steepholm, it’s no wonder it became the location of choice for the mansions of successful industrialists of the 19th century.
Holm House was built in 1926 by JS Neale the son of a fishing fleet magnate and sits in a prime position on Marine Parade in this quiet and affluent area just ten minutes from Cardiff city centre. The footprint and DNA of the original property has been transformed into something with contemporary chic and flair. Behind it’s handsome façade lies a hotel of residential elegance befitting its heritage and the 20th century expectations of sophisticated travellers.
You are invited to experience the genuine warmth and intelligence of its service, as well as the luxury and attention to detail you’ll find throughout the property. Holm House is designed to ensure you relax, unwind, enjoy the seaside location, and feel completely at home.
