September Edit: Celebrations & Bubbles

In the UK we are all now aware of the ‘bubble’ of six, with six very much being the magic number for the time being. It is now law for all groups meeting indoors or outdoors to not exceed six in total. We have selected some of our much loved partners which we feel will be perfect for these gatherings and allow you to socialise in style. Across the pond, there are also a number of properties which fit the bill for smaller group gatherings for our US travellers and we are throwing our spotlight on those too.
