How to Plan the Perfect Weekend Escape
We have all missed out on travel during the pandemic but there’s no reason why we can't all get back out there. A weekend escape is a great place to start, whether it’s at home in the UK or venturing further. So get started planning your next weekend getaway, whether with friends, your fiance, family, or by yourself. A weekend away allows you to get away from your daily routines and domestic mundanity. It's an opportunity to recharge, refocus, and reconnect with whoever you're travelling with. To help you get started with planning your next escape we have put together some helpful tips.
Choose Your Weekend Escape Destination
For some people this could be the easiest or most difficult step, depending on whether you already have a destination in mind. If you're eager to visit a specific city or attraction, skip ahead to the researching and booking stage!
If you don't have any specific plans, choose a type of vacation and enjoy researching potential destinations. If you're flying, begin by looking for the best offers on flights from your nearest airport. If you don’t fancy flying, Highfield is in Driffield, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding area or visiting Tophill Low Nature Reserve. If exploring is your goal during your stay with us, we are also close to the historical city of York and only 20 minutes from seaside towns like Bridlington.
Remember that the perfect weekend getaway isn't only about where you go, but also about how much you can do when you get there. You may find a great deal in a hotel somewhere, but there will be nothing to do nearby. If you get the harmony of location and activities right, you'll have a fantastic weekend escape.
Book the Perfect Accommodation
Even if you enjoy being as flexible and spontaneous as possible when travelling, the limited time you have on a weekend away means you don't want to waste it looking for lodging when you arrive. Make your weekend escape more relaxing by booking your accommodations ahead of time and staying in one location for the entire weekend. Also booking your accommodation ahead of time will usually get you the best rate.
At Highfield, we have designed each of our rooms to provide the highest level of comfort, quality, and experience to complement the beauty of our magnificent home. Each of our suites represents a distinct nostalgic period in Highfield's history and the people who have lived here. Our East Wing, for example, is beautifully decorated with vintage flair and a touch of class. Not to mention that all of our bedrooms have luxuriously comfortable mattresses and linens, and visitors are greeted with a complimentary treasure chest of treats and full access to our Raid the Fridge pantry's delectable delights.
Book Your Activities
If there are certain activities you must do during your trip, make reservations in advance! This will not only help you plan your time, but it will also save you from being disappointed when you arrive and see it is fully booked. The same is true for any restaurant you wish to visit. Book a table now to avoid missing out and to enjoy the anticipation.
Our luxurious restaurant uses ingredients grown locally, including herbs and vegetables grown in our very own Kitchen Garden. We use only the best raw ingredients from hand-picked suppliers to provide quality meat from nearby farms, specialty cheeses from across the county, and fresh seafood from the nearby Yorkshire coast.
