Out of office (but not that far)

There comes a point where your brain quietly mutters “we need a break” but your calendar laughs in your face. That’s your cue. Not for a sabbatical. Not for a flight that requires compression socks. Just… a little escape. A bit of breathing space before you accidentally start narrating your own life like a BBC nature doc.

Josh and Marj, friends of Yonder, took the kind of break most of us daydream about while pretending to answer emails.

London to Northamptonshire for a Suku saunas reset. Then on to Oxfordshire for a slow, very smug-looking stay at StayÖÖD’s Kirtlington Cubley. Their Outin coffee maker came along too because some habits travel well. And Turo got them there in style.

Yonder and our partners made the whole thing feel less like admin, more like an exhale. And you can do it too. Below are the places that made their trip (and could make yours).

The ‘get the gang back together’ trip

Every friendship group has that moment: someone says “We should do a weekend away” and - plot twist - this time everyone actually agrees. Here’s where to take them.

Suku Saunas, Northamptonshire

Wood-fired heat, quiet you can feel in your bones, and the kind of sweat that counts as a personality reset.

Ilo Sauna, Black Country

Minimalist cabins, calming rituals, and design so soothing it could legally count as therapy.‍

Roots and Rocks, Yorkshire

Cold plunges that wake your entire soul, big skies, warm fires, and “wow, we should do this more often” energy.‍

Ty Sawna, Swansea

Seaside steam with all the cinematic mist your group chat will gush over.‍

Reset Wild Spa, The Chilterns

Wild dips, wood-fired warmth, and the smug satisfaction of being briefly unreachable.‍

The ‘main character reset’

StayOOD does cabins the way everyone thinks they’d live in the countryside: clean lines, huge windows, and the kind of peace that recalibrates your entire nervous system.

You wake up to trees instead of traffic, drink coffee you didn’t queue for, and suddenly the fantasy of rural living feels… plausible.

Black Friday perk: Yonder members get twenty percent off cabins and ten percent off vouchers. Your group chat doesn’t know this yet, but they’re about to call you the organiser of the year.

Now let’s get you there

Because yes, these places are stunning. But no, they are not walkable.

Turo

For the locations where “nearest station” translates to “a polite 45-minute hike”. Pick a car, pretend you’re the protagonist in a moody indie film, and glide into your getaway.‍

Trainline

A public service announcement: get a Railcard and stop overpaying for the boring bit. Same trains. Smaller numbers. Actual joy.‍

OutIn portable coffee cup

Optional, but let’s be honest — it tells the world “Yes, I’m escaping, and yes, I’m doing it with taste.”
