NEW ENGLAND
The birthplace of America - New England - is a land of big dreamers, fascinating history and outstanding scenery.
With its picturesque sandy beaches and lighthouse dotted horizons, it is easy to see why Cape Cod is such a popular destination for holidaymakers. While away an evening or two at one of the many outstanding seafood restaurants before hopping over to explore the gingerbread houses of Martha’s Island and boutique-lined lanes of Nantucket.
Just a stone’s away, the cosmopolitan cobbled streets of Boston are alive with outstanding art, music, food and (being home to New England Patriots) world-class sport, too! Walk the freedom trail and pause for a coffee in Boston Public Garden before enjoying an evening of fine dining and fusion food. Perfect.
BOSTON
A small cosmopolitan city with picturesque parklands at its heart, in Boston you’ll find a real contrast between its historic centre with cobbled streets and pretty buildings, and it’s more commercial centre and shopping malls.
No stay in Boston is complete without a visit to Fenway Park, home to the New England Patriots. Enjoy a game to truly soak up the atmosphere. You can also enjoy many excursions from Boston including whale watching, kayaking and sailing.
We love the Back Bay area, home to a variety of luxury hotels, designer boutiques, quaint cafes and fine-dining restaurants.
CAPE COD
The Cape Cod area is the embodiment of quintessential New England, with its white sandy beaches, dramatic rocky coastlines and pretty lighthouses.
The towns of Falmouth and Chatham are home to some of the best beaches in the bay area and are well-known for their arts and culture, as well as a collection of luxury accommodations.
You’ll certainly want to enjoy a whale watching boat trip during your stay in Cape Cod, and why not be a little adventurous with a quad bike tour across the sand dunes, or a spot of sea fishing.
martha’s vineyard
An island escape with New England charm and hospitality, Martha’s Vineyard is home to a variety of independent hotels and inns, and pretty gingerbread homes. Unsurprisingly it is a haven for well-known personalities and diplomats looking for escapism.
With its pretty, white sand beaches and quaint villages with plenty of cafes, boutiques and galleries, you’ll also find a plethora of hiking and biking trails across the island for those who love the outdoors.
NANTUCKET
Home to pristine beaches, sand dunes, historic harbours and characterful lighthouses, Nantucket is a small island thirty miles south of Cape Cod.
Enjoy waterside dining in many quaint villages, from casual to fine dining, and explore its wharves and cobbled streets, high-end boutiques and steepled churches.
The tranquility of this small islands draws people to its shores time and time again, whether they come for fishing, yachting, whale watching or even exploring the areas shipwrecks.
THE BERKSHIRES
An area of unrivalled beauty, The Berkshires area of Western Massachusetts is home to rolling hills and stunning country, scenic byways and idyllic country towns including Lenox, Stockbridge, North Adams and Williamstown to name a few.
The area comes in to its own during autumn when the leaves on the trees create a montage of bright colours across the lands and lakes, and for lovers of Halloween it’s a great time to visit. The idyllic country villages and towns with pretty steeples that make up The Berkshires often host a variety of arts and culture festivals for families to enjoy. Not forgetting the many outdoor activities on offer, including white water rafting and zip-lining.
