Lazy Sunday stays
Craving a luxury weekend away but can't escape the Monday morning meetings? Take advantage of our Lazy Sunday stays, where you're given a golden ticket for a generously late check-out...
Pile of Sunday papers, steaming pot of tea leaves and a view through cottage windows across the UK's rolling countryside; it's true what they say, a Sunday well spent brings a week of content. Unique Homestays' Lazy Sunday stays collection is designed to appeal to guests who crave a weekend break, but can’t escape the 9 to 5. These two-night Friday to Sunday escapes, with an extended departure time of 6pm, ensure you get to make the most of your weekend away.
Flapjacks eaten in socks by the fire for breakfast, a blast of fresh air, homemade roast dinner, a game of Chess; the generously late check-outs on offer at these homes afford you the chance to fully embrace Sunday style. The two-night weekend breaks run on select dates only, so be sure to keep an eye on availability calendars or sign up to our newsletter to find out more. From romantic weekends in The Cotswolds to family-friendly breaks in Cornwall, slip into weekend mode with a lazy Sunday stay.
