Best adults-only holidays in the UK

There are plenty of beautiful places to consider when booking a UK holiday, from the coast and countryside to town and city locations. With Britain home to glorious beaches, parks and lakes, you can soak up the views while enjoying walks, wild swimming and relaxation.

If it’s peace and quiet you’re looking for, an adults-only holiday could well be the answer. A travel escape without a single child in sight means grown-up conversation and uninterrupted bliss. Should you have small kids and be desperate for some time out or simply prefer a slightly more sophisticated stay, there’s something special about accommodation where only adults are allowed.

Whether it’s a romantic stay you seek, a city break, tranquil spa stay or cocktails with friends, we’ve rounded up some of the best travel ideas. From a boutique hotel, castle and beach escape to an off-grid hut, keep scrolling for inspiration.

Boutique hotel The Mandrake is a luxury destination set across four floors. There are 30 chic bedrooms, plus three suites and a penthouse. In the centre you’ll see a courtyard framed by jasmine and passion flowers. Head to dinner at the outdoor restaurant Jurema Terrace or cosy up indoors at the YOPO bar and restaurant. It’s perfectly placed for a London break, as you can walk to Oxford Street in just a couple of minutes and Covent Garden is nearby, too.
