SEP24Escape of the Week….. Explorers Club, Franschhoek, South Africa
-
While the name might suggest a place to rough it and plan routes on dusty maps by candlelight, The Explorer’s Club is something else: somewhere to plot your next trip, sure, but in the comfort of a homestead with views of the mountains and vineyards and easy access to world class restaurants, wineries, boutiques and art galleries. And more than that, these four properties have style by the tin bucket load. Continue reading

SEP12Escape of the Week…..The Beckford Arms, Wiltshire

Set in classic English countryside, just 2 hours drive from the bustling business of central London, this ivy-coated Wiltshire inn is the perfect place for a spot of rural R&R.
