How To Avoid The Kids In The School Holidays
Posted in

This summer has been unrelenting, and for those with fairer skin, spent mostly indoors. But now the haze of summer is drawing to a close, it’s safe to leave the house without risking sunburn. The trick is to avoid the swarms of children on holiday for the next month. For those of you without children, we have compiled a list of hotels and locations that will help you on this quest.

The Scarlet Hotel, Cornwall

The Scarlet Hotel, which is ‘just for grown-ups’, promises to care for you as if you were in the home of a friend. It also offers luxuries like cliff top hot tubs and a spa. The hotel overlooks Cornwall’s Mawgan Porth Beach and has panoramic views of the coast and Atlantic Ocean. If you’re looking for an eco friendly hotel with a touch of pampering, rooms at the Scarlet start at £280. That’s for a two-night minimum stay.

Sandhill House Country Retreat, Cornwall

Also in Cornwall is the option of the Sandhill House Country Retreat. Due to the large number of ornamental ponds, the retreat is unsuitable for children.
