Nestled in the enchanting Lancashire countryside along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, the Flotel Suite is one of our top picks for this spring and summer, and offers an extraordinary experience that combines the tranquility of a quiet countryside setting with luxurious accommodation and amenities.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic break for two, celebrating a special occasion, or are simply craving the comfort of a serene retreat away from the stresses and strains of modern life, the Flotel Suite ticks all the right boxes and more, and offers up an exciting alternative to traditional hotel or country cottage stays in the UK. So, if you’re eager to do something a little different this year, then look no further.
A unique escape
So, what exactly is the Flotel Suite? It’s a lavish floating suite, on board one of the most opulent riverboats you’ll ever set foot on. Featuring lavish Versace wallpaper and stunning copper fixtures and features, even the tiniest of details have been curated to create an instant sense of grandeur. With a sumptuous, floating bed with a memory foam mattress and goose down bedding, royal blue Chesterfield sofas, and a plush bathroom with a luxurious rainfall shower, it has all the trappings of a high-end hotel. And the best part is, you get to enjoy it all whilst taking in scenic river views from your windows – bliss!
A place to relax and unwind
Spending time in nature – and particularly, by the water – has been shown to improve our overall sense of wellbeing – and the Flotel Suite allows guests to get even closer to it without compromising on luxury. If camping, or even glamping, isn’t for you, then this is the perfect alternative, as you can enjoy impeccable service in plush surroundings whilst being just steps from the beautiful Lancashire countryside. Taking in the stunning scenic views from the front balcony whilst you sip on a glass of champagne or fine wine and allowing the peaceful ambience to envelop you is something quite special indeed, and quiet moments like these promise to instill that sense of peace and calmness that you’ve been missing in your life once more. It really doesn’t get much more idyllic than this.
A real-life garden of Eden
As if the Flotel Suite didn’t sound charming enough already, it comes complete with its very own Garden of Eden – a haven of tranquility and an oasis of calm in which you really will feel like you’re in the lap of luxury. There’s a Swedish Log Burning hot tub and state-of-the-art fire pit, which promise to transform your evenings into the most enchanting of experiences. Sink in and enjoy as dusk falls, with the gentle glow of lights illuminating your surroundings, and watch birds and other wildlife passing by – it’s a veritable slice of paradise.
Extra luxuries
There’s plenty to keep you entertained whilst on board the Flotel Suite – even if the unpredictable British weather isn’t entirely on your side. There’s an onboard entertainment system, where you can indulge in some of your favorite films and TV series – and of course, you can create lasting memories while sharing drinks with loved ones at the breakfast bar, or showcase your culinary skills in the fully fitted kitchen.
Don’t want to lift a finger while you’re here? The good news is, you don’t have to – as the Flotel Suite comes complete with a host of optional extras, including a captain, a private chef and a waiter – so if your aim is complete and utter relaxation, then that’s exactly what you’ll get. Whilst an experienced captain will be able to take you on a beautiful scenic journey along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, your chef will be on hand to whip you up a host of decadent delights to elevate your meal times, with fine dining delicacies the order of every day. And of course, having a waiter on hand will mean you’ll want for nothing whilst dining with family and friends on board will ensure you’ll be left wanting for nothing throughout.
You can even order in your favourite beverages to see you through the break, so if you have a specific type of champagne or fine wine in mind, then the Flotel Suite will ensure there is plenty in stock for you to toast the occasion with. And on that note, you can even request a breath-taking bouquet of flowers and some decadent chocolates if you;re celebrating something special – the ultimate romantic surprise.
In a nutshell
When it comes to unique luxury escapes in the British countryside, it really doesn’t get much better, and with its opulent design, idyllic location and impeccable service, on the Flotel Suite, you can be sure of an experience to remember.
