For many, being able to travel again enables us to gather with our friends and family. This could be an annual trip, an anniversary celebration or just an excuse for a spectacular adventure. So we’ve collated some of the best short, mid and long haul stays from the US and UK, to inspire you for you next trip. Activity filled days on horseback, ones gliding on glistening water or just feet-up lying back in the sun, there is an option for everyone.
