5 Staycation Ideas With PoB

Cinematic Locations & Heritage Restoration

PoB’s newest ambassador, TV presenter George Clarke, was inspired by heritage and architecture in his trip across the South East of England. As part of his journey, George stopped at three very differently designed buildings, all part of PoB’s collection, featuring beautiful bedrooms and delicious food.

The break – which can be followed by any guest – begins 30 miles from London in the Sussex countryside. Gravetye Manor couldn’t feel more English thanks to its pretty gardens set within 1,000 acres of grounds. A stop off in Beaulieu leads the way to The Montagu Arms, with its stunning arts and crafts interior and typical inn exterior. The final stop is Hartwell House & Spa in Buckinghamshire’s Vale of Aylesbury to experience a particularly commanding setting in the flesh: a grand country house with both Jacobean and Georgian sides towering over a lake spanned by the old Kew Bridge.

Journey Through Britain’s Favourite Sports

Another PoB ambassador is decorated Olympian Victoria Pendleton. Her Cotswolds break led her to revisit her favourite sports and discover new ones as she journeyed through the Cotswolds and the Chilterns.

It all starts at The Painswick immersed in ideal mountain biking country, before stopping off at Calcot & Spa and experiencing its new high-tech gym, The Grain Store. Journeying south, stop off at Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa, famed for its equine facilities, before checking into the iconic Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in the heart of Bath. The final stop says farewell to the Cotswolds and hello to the Relais Henley where guests can glide down the Thames as they pick up rowing – or just admire the action from the Riverside Rooms.

Hedonist’s Dream

Guests can also indulge in PoB Hotels’ Curated Breaks. If you’re a foodie, then the ‘Hedonist’s Dream’ is for you, taking in the gourmet highlights of the South East, stopping at five hotels, and offering suggestions for tasty pitstops en route.

Begin in the capital (one of the world’s most influential foodie cities) and choose between three perfect PoB hotels to whet your appetite for the journey ahead: The Athenaeum in marvellous Mayfair, The Capital Hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge, or The Hari in elegant Belgravia. Then venture south to Gravetye Manor, Sussex, where beautiful grounds and a Michelin star restaurant await, before hopping across to the Channel Islands to enjoy The Atlantic Hotel, Jersey, and its bounty of the freshest local seafood.
