Mother’s Day Scenic Drives

This time of year is beautiful with all the new spring flowers and trees coming into bud. Why not go for a drive and show off your impressive interior or take a walk together somewhere picturesque and easy going (perhaps to walk off the Sunday roast cooked by yours truly). See our list of suggestions here.

Mother’s Day Spa Days

Another firm favourite for mothers and daughters is a relaxing spa day full of treatments and soaking in hot tubs. Happily, Britain is already brimming with state-of-the-art retreats, from The Gilpin in Lake District – where you can wallow in a marathon three-hour treatment with swimming, massages and champagne – to the glorious Scarlet spa, with log-fired hot tubs perched on the Cornish coast. Take your pick from the following:

• Salcombe Harbour Hotel, South Devon
• Bedford Lodge Spa Hotel, Suffolk
• The Spa at Galgorm, Ballymena, County Antrim
• Soho Farmhouse, Chipping Norton
