If so, we recommend you look to see if Philip Parker’s Grand Tour, the Great Escape Holiday Company, or the Great Little Places of Wales have something to meet your requirements.
n the late 18th century, sons
of wealthy families completed their education by undertaking
the Grand Tour, visiting major European capitals, but particularly
immersing themselves in the cultural and artistic scene in Florence,
Venice and Rome.
There
are a number of cities in the UK that visitors like to visit
for their historical and cultural background, e.g: Bath, the
UK's only World Heritage City; Chester; Edinburgh; York; and
London. Finding accommodation for such a tour involves considerable
research, so Philip and Judith Parker, winners of the 2001 Which
Hotel Guide Townhouse hotel of the year award, have very enterprisingly
compiled a short list of carefully selected and vetted accommodation
in each of these cities.
Their selection can be found at www.uk-grand-tour.co.uk

If you are seeking to take a self-catering holiday on the increasingly popular North Norfolk coast stretching from Hunstanton around to Blakeney, then we suggest you contact The Great Escape Holiday Company, who over time have put together an excellent portfolio of some of the finest second homes in Norfolk. Their service is first class and the staff very knowledgeable.
North Africa Possibly what distinguishes this innovative company from the others is that some years ago before the area came to prominence, they set out to provide tailor made holidays on the North African coast from Tunis round to Marrakech. The results of this early work are to be seen in the range of splendid riads, palaces, and mountain retreats they can recommend to their clients.

No
visit to Britain is complete without a visit to Wales. Just
two hours from London, it's a destination with its own unique
character and heritage. Wales is rich in natural beauty, with
a wealth of National Parks, magnificent mountains and a stunning
coastline. And there's history over almost every hill in the
shape of medieval castles, country mansions and ancient sites.
If you are looking for Welsh accommodation, we recommend Wales-Great Little Places. These represent the personal choice of Roger Thomas and Emyr Griffith, both of whom have a wealth of travel experience. They have covered the length and breadth of Wales seeking out the very best small hotels, inns and farmhouses. Stay at any of their 49 'Little Places' and you can be assured of a warm welcome and quality experience at affordable prices. For more information go to:
