Bath is a great option if you are wanting to get away with your family this summer. There is something for everyone, from shopping, spas to the historic Roman Baths.

Shephards Bliss, Devon

If you're looking to get a little more down and dirty, why not try out a spot of glamping? This site is situated in a sweet Devonshire village, and each hut contains an en-suite shower, TV and bed (we can't believe it either). It is perfect for couples, complete with a pizza oven and hot tub. Nothing says romance like sleeping under the stars and taking a dip in the tub late at night. This is camping as you've never seen it before.

The Hidden Jewel, London

If a city break is more your thing, why not book yourself into a luxury apartment in the centre of London? We are obsessed with this unique Soho home, nestled behind one of its busiest and most historic streets. The interior is pure luxury, with Italian marble bathrooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen, not to mention mood lighting in every room. Bar hopping in the evening has never been easier, with the West End having the biggest variety of dining, nightlife and shopping options.
