Love Farmhouse but it can feel a bit same-y and overcrowded at times. Plus I can’t bring more than 3 guests!
Would love people’s reccos for lesser known places around the UK with a similar vibe to Farmhouse for a cute weekend getaway with friends or a day trip for good food and lounging around. xx
*Extra points if it isn’t ridiculously hard to get to from London!
I went to Birch last August bank hol with my boyfriend and some friends and we had the BEST time. Super lovely vibe with gorgeous grounds. There’s a lido which is child-free in the afternoon, a fitness centre where classes are included in the price of your stay (you just have to book on) + they have extra events running during the week which you can book onto for an extra fee – I did a sound bath! Also, restaurants and a bar on site and a DJ on Friday night.
I didn’t know this – so exciting!
Retreat East is also cool and has similar vibes. You can use their bikes, stay in barns, relax in the hot tub, book treatments etc!
Birch is fab! Food fairly expensive but it’s v v fun - I’ve been twice and always such lovely people there x
