SCOTLAND FAMILY FUN

AN IRISH CELEBRATION

ULTRALUXE ADVENTURES

The post Multi-Generational Journeys appeared first on Dreamescape.

Across the UK and Ireland, you will find some of the most remarkable gardens, places where access is granted quietly, based on long-standing trust and relationships. These landscapes range from historic estates shaped over centuries to bold contemporary designs created by leading horticultural visionaries, each offering something far beyond a traditional garden visit.

Through our connections, it becomes possible to experience these spaces in ways rarely offered; private walks with head gardeners, behind-the-scenes access to walled gardens and working glasshouses, early-morning entry before estates open, or time with botanists and designers for expert insights.

There is still availability for the Chelsea Flower Show, making this a wonderful opportunity for a small group of garden enthusiasts to come together and enjoy a memorable London programme centred around one of the world’s most celebrated horticultural events.

Garden Diary Dates

7 Feb – 8 Mar: Kew Orchid Festival – Celebrating 30 years

9 May – 27 Sept: Henry Moore: Monumental Nature – Kew Gardens

19-23 May: RHS Chelsea Flower Show

19-21 Jun: Blenheim Palace Flower show

The post Dream Escape Magazine Autumn/Winter appeared first on Dreamescape.

Our starting point was a partners’ desk, a website and no idea,” reminisces Holly about first launching Dream Escape together with David in 2005. Now, two leading voices in the luxury travel community, the pair have accrued 20 years of experience. They’ve brought together a team of over 20 experienced creative planners and travel professionals – all waiting to plan incredible trips for clients across the world. The 20th milestone also coincides with David and Holly’s 20th wedding anniversary, and has prompted them to reflect on their personal and professional journey across the last two decades.

One reason for Dream Escape’s roaring success is its dedication to unearthing new, awe-inspiring experiences. “We never settle for ‘ok’ or ‘good,’” explains Holly. “Together with our team and partners, we’re always going to go the extra mile to try and find new and better ways of creating experiences for clients.” When Holly and David are asked what makes their brand different from others on the market, the phrase ‘curious control freaks’ comes up. “This isn’t us necessarily,” clarifies David. “But more the philosophy of the brand and the business culture. We deliver creativity but with control. “So many travellers are looking for the newest, most interesting and amazing experiences. Curiosity is what drives so many of us to discover things we never knew.

But when people with high standards go on holiday, they want the ‘i’s’ dotted and the ‘t’s’ crossed in such a diligent way, that there’s a big element of control around every trip, too. “Everything has to be completely on point, especially if you’re operating at the top of the market where we are,” he explains.

It’s this fiesty combination of curiosity and dedication that has propelled them to success.

The post Conde Nast Traveller ‘Top Travel Specialist’ 2025 appeared first on Dreamescape.

Head to the Lake District for a patchwork of glowing colours and the very best foodie scene. If you are brave enough you have some of the best wild swimming in the UK on your doorstep. Further north, the Scottish Highlands never disappoint, and luxury accommodation choices provide a comforting cocoon from which to explore.

The sophistication of our cities is a lure at any time of year. Autumn is quieter, the crowds of the summer have disappeared, but the buzz still remains. Enjoy theatre, exhibitions, exquisite dining, and private experiences from our ‘little black book’ of contacts, whatever your passion.

Conde Nast Traveller recommends Autumn in Cornwall

“Embrace a less populated, slower paced version of Cornwall once summer holiday staycationers have headed home and everything – even the sea – seems to calm”

or the Outer Hebrides…

“Make a beeline for the Hebrides to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights as the nights get longer. On the Isle of Skye, your best chance is from the Trotternish Peninsula at the island’s most northerly tip. By day, don walking boots to hunt for shells on some of Scotland’s best beaches;”

Wherever you decide to travel in the UK and Ireland, considering the shoulder season months will ensure you can find availability at your first choice of accommodation and experiences and importantly enjoy the space to thrive.

Book Early

We can’t stress this enough! We are already encouraging booking for summer 2026 with many of our key destinations in Scotland and Ireland filling up for the popular summer months of 2025. For peace of mind, don’t delay, get in touch today to ensure maximum availability.

Try Something New

Our team are constantly out and about trying new experiences so you don’t have to. We know they work so you can sit back and relax knowing you are being taken care of with the very best of exclusive and private visits and activities.

If you think you have ‘done’ London – think again!

Meeting makers, artisans and discovering new ‘off the grid’ and ‘money can’t buy’ experiences is what we do best. Our extensive ‘Little Black Book’ unlocks a world of behind-the-scenes introductions, unparalleled access to private experiences and opportunities not available to the general public.

Experience More

We love putting together truly immersive itineraries, and understand that many clients come with a long wish list. However, we know from our wealth of experience that the itineraries which offer time in between 1 or 2 planned experiences per day are often where the magic is found rather than rushing and trying to fit too much in to the time available.

Long and Winding Roads

Although we may be a relatively small island, our country lanes and road network means that journey times can be longer than clients often anticipate. Leave enough time to sit back to enjoy the journey as well as your final destinations.
