When it comes to my all-time favourite holiday, it’s the mountains every time. Whether that’s skiing in the winter or hiking and biking in the summer. I always try to make time for the mountains at least a couple of times a year. I love to be active on my holidays, I’m a keen skier, sailor and I like to play tennis, swim, hike and bike too.
As an avid traveller, I love the excitement of new experiences. I spent a couple of years living in New England in the States and in more recent years I have spent my holidays sailing in the Caribbean, exploring Croatia, wine tasting in Tuscany and being a culture vulture and foodie in Florence. Like many of us who work in an office environment, when I’m on holiday it’s important for me to get outside, be active and reenergise.
I have a weakness for luxury on holiday and as one of our guests you will know it is terribly easy to become accustomed to! I appreciate that luxury doesn’t just mean the property, facilities and service when you are on holiday but the whole experience, from booking your holiday, throughout until you are home. I am really proud that here at Scott Dunn we do that well and are experts in taking the stress out of your holiday.

"We had a wonderful stay at the Hermitage Hotel and would certainly go back. It has a very relaxed, homely and welcoming atmosphere, amazing food and the resort itself excellent. Thank you."
"The Aman Canal Grande Venice, what can I say except WOW. It is beautiful, relaxing without being too formal and just a pleasure to stay in! Thank you also for arranging a surprise for our 28th wedding anniversary, it was very much appreciated, especially as they extended the invitation to our children and girlfriends. All in all, a wonderful holiday."

"Charlotte was charming and very approachable and appeared to be very empathetic to our needs. All the documentation was very clear and we were totally looked after. We have never travelled like this before. It was a new experience and one that I really appreciated."
Eat local food – from fresh seafood in the Med to lobster in Maine, alligator in the Everglades, cheese in the Alps or traditional Navajo food in Monument Valley. Tasting local food is a great way to experience authentic local culture.
Write a travel journal - a great way to look back on those fabulous once in a lifetime experiences.
Wake up early on your ski holiday to catch the sunrise, make fresh tracks and beat the crowds.
