According to a survey taken in eight countries last May by wedding planning website The Knot, 66 per cent of people decided to reschedule their weddings to a later date. That means almost 30 per cent went ahead with their vows despite hurdles due to the pandemic.

Matt Roberts fitness retreats, Amelia Freer wellness workshops and cooking classes mean there’s always plenty to do, too – unless you want to sit by the fire in a spacious wooden forest cabin, or take in the sun in a lounger on the spa’s rooftop terrace.
