A website dedicated to short breaks selected by two leading travel writers is launched today (Monday).
The site www.101shortbreaks.co.uk has been compiled by Mark Hodson and David Wickers, who between them have 40 years of experience writing travel articles for national newspapers and magazines.
They launched their first site, 101 Holidays, in January.
101 Short Breaks is edited by Hodson and Wickers with the company being run on a day to day basis by director, Catherine Leech.
Users can explore the holiday recommendations by hovering over a grid of images on the homepage. They can filter the options by budget, destination or experience (for example, “I want to be romantic”, “I want to be amazed” or “I want to hit the beach”).
Breaks cover a range of budgets, from a £60 working weekend with the National Trust to a day trip to Paris by private jet with a Michelin-starred lunch (£998 per person based on six people sharing).
Others include staying on a luxury yacht moored in a marina in Devon, spending a weekend in Tromso, Norway for the Northern Lights, renting a VW Camper or taking Eurostar to Lille to eat at a legendary seafood restaurant,L’Huîtrière.
101 short breaks features many personal favourite getaways including Ferme du Vert, a working farm just 30 minutes from Calais, and Hisa Franko, a stylish small hotel in Slovenia’s Soca Valley, perfect for hiking breaks.
