Escape with Ellie

Short Breaks worth taking

Two or three nights done properly. The right hotel, a table at the right restaurant, flights at the right time of day, and nothing left to chance. You tell me the dates, I book the lot.

Sunny European square with a cathedral and outdoor cafés

What counts as a short break

Anything from a one-night Eurostar dash to a four-night long weekend. Most of mine fall into one of these.

Paris rooftops and Eiffel Tower

European city weekends

Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Prague. Two to three nights, flights or Eurostar, a centrally located hotel, dinner booked.

Manhattan skyline at night

US weekends

New York, Vegas, Nashville, Miami. Four nights to get value from the long flight. Show tickets and restaurants booked in advance.

Cotswolds village in autumn

UK short breaks

Edinburgh, the Cotswolds, the Lakes, Cornwall, the Welsh coast. Useful when you don't want an airport, or when half-term lands awkwardly.

Balearic coastline in sunshine

Sun short breaks

Mallorca, Cyprus, the Algarve, Tenerife. Three or four nights of warm weather, mostly out of season when prices drop and beaches empty out.

Champagne and anniversary dinner

Special occasion breaks

Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, surprise trips. The kind of trip where the small touches matter and you don't want to be the one organising them.

Spa treatment with candles

Spa & wellness weekends

The kind of two nights that actually recovers you. UK country houses, European thermal towns, a proper switch-off.

How a short break with me works

Tell me the dates, the vibe and roughly what you want to spend. I come back same day (or next working day) with a shortlist. You pick one, I book it, and you turn up.

Ready when you are.

Send me a message and I'll come back to you within one working day.
