Old England Hotel & Spa

The ultimate Tour de France 2027 travel hack does exist. 🤫

Mark your calendars for Saturday, 3 July 2027! Stage 2 of the Grand Départ is racing from Keswick to Liverpool, and it is cutting straight through the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere.

If you want a front-row seat to the action without fighting for a roadside spot, look no further than the Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa.

Why this is the perfect base:
📍 Front-Row Action: The hotel is located right on Church Street (A5074). The peloton will race directly past the front of the property as they navigate the tight town-centre turns.

💆‍♂️ Pure Luxury: Watch the world’s best cyclists speed by in the morning, and spend your afternoon relaxing by their lakeside terrace, thermal spa, or the 20-metre indoor pool.

🚶‍♂️ Location: You are steps away from the lakefront cruises and The World of Beatrix Potter.

The hotel is already prepping for the race, and rooms across the Lake District are going to fill up months (if not a year) in advance.

Double tap if this goes on your 2027 bucket list, and tag the person you’re bringing with you! 👇

Cosy bedrooms. Balcony views. Family rooms. Dog-friendly stays. And *very* good excuses to disappear to the Lakes for a few days.

Autumn in the Lake District just hits different, muddy walks, crisp mornings, pub lunches, cosy nights and waking up somewhere you actually want to stay in bed.

Before it became the charming Cotswold town we know today, Woodstock was famous for making gloves...
 
The Bear Hotel has been part of the town’s story for centuries, dating back to the 13th century. Woodstock became renowned for its leather glove industry, which shaped the town’s history for generations.
 
Today, The Bear is a place to enjoy characterful bedrooms, good food and a stay surrounded by history. And with Blenheim Palace just around the corner, there’s plenty to explore while you’re here 🏰

If you’ve been watching The Traitors and can’t help but feel a trip to Scotland is in order, Norwood Hall Hotel deserves a place on your winter bucket list.
 
Set within a beautiful Victorian mansion in Aberdeenshire, it has all the Scottish charm, grand interiors and atmospheric surroundings of the original traitors’ castle. Once you step foot inside, we doubt you’ll want to be banished anytime soon.
 
The question is, will you stay faithful to your plans for a Scottish getaway this winter?🏰
