United Kingdom Luxury Holidays

It’s impossible to take on a tour of the UK and not make room for a little luxury. After all, this is a country home to nine palaces and over 4,000 castles. Hit the ground running in London with a royal tour of the Tower of London and Crown Jewels. Get your culture on at a private trip round Shakespeare’s Globe and stop by Baker Street to solve a mystery or two with England’s premier detective, Sherlock Holmes. If UK luxury holidays incite images of chocolate box cottages and sweet as honey villages, a trip to the cosy Cotswolds is a must. Hunker down in Stow-on-the-Wold, where tea comes by the bucket full and centuries-old pubs with roaring fires can’t help but entice, or head to Cornwall for a masterclass in the British seaside. Walk the walk to the tidal island of St Michael’s Mount, watch a Shakespeare play at the open-air Minack Theatre (which commands stunning sea views from its cliffside perch) and shop for souvenirs along Fowey’s whimsical high street.

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

UK luxury holidays don’t ignore Scotland either. Home to big skies, ancient architecture and awe-inspiring landscapes, you’ll be bowled over by the country’s sense of wilderness and tradition. Take a private boat cruise on the mythical Loch Ness, spend time getting to know the country’s many malt whisky distilleries and galivant round romantic castles like Ballindalloch and Craigievar, the latter of which is said to have inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella castle. Wind your way back to London with a stop in the Lake District to discover why literary legends William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter felt so inspired there. Hop aboard Lake Coniston’s esteemed Victorian steam gondola, potter around good-looking Grasmere and go walking in the surrounding fell mountains.


Back in London it’s all about sightseeing and shopping. Explore along the fashionable King’s Road in Chelsea or opt for a slower pace round Kew Gardens and the Chelsea Physic Garden, London's oldest botanic garden. Catch up over afternoon tea at the world-renowned Fortnum and Masons and shop till you drop along Princes and Burlington Arcades. A visit to the country’s capital isn’t complete without at least one peek into the royal residences. At Kensington Palace, the former residence of Prince William and Catherine and birthplace of Queen Victoria, it’s all about gardens and jewels, while at Windsor Castle, you’ll find grand chapels, state rooms and moats. Oozing with history and charm, UK luxury holidays are bound to go down as well as a scone topped with clotted cream and jam – perfection.
