Arnside is a beautiful place to be, and Number 43 a perfect place to stay. Our room’s stunning; it’s a vast sea-facing double with sweeping panoramic views of the Morecambe Bay Estuary, a warm decor of calming biscuits and cream, with quirky little touches like a marble noughts and crosses board, flapjacks and more.

The first thing we see when we enter is a huge stag’s head mounted on the wall – we love a bit of taxidermy…and although it’s not quite as plush as some of the places we’ve stayed, it’s certainly a good base for the night.

Uber romantic Fontelunga is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Resting among the olive groves of the Tuscan hills, and close to Florence and Siena, its idyllic location is perfect for couples seeking rustic Italian luxe. Be spoiled in the gorgeous Fontelunga hotel, or enjoy a luxury self catering experience in their concierge-serviced villas.
