Description
I am looking for travel partners to get together a small group of holiday buddies in Sep/Oct '25. Please read the advert in full first before contacting me. If you click a button with AI-generated pre-written text 'Hey I am interested' to be sent to me, or if you send me a 1-sentence message such as 'Can you give me more information?' or 'Hi I want to come on this trip', it will go unanswered and you won't hear back from me. I will only respond to those who write properly by introducing themselves to me and stating why they want to join me on this luxury discounted holiday break. (This ad is a bit long, I know. It's just me being efficient to save time so as to avoid repeatedly emailing back and forth, as this ad pretty much has full details with FAQs that you'd want me to answer.)
First, you must be a total non-smoker. (This includes e-cigarettes and recreational substances.) So only 100% non-smoking people reply please.
1. DATES (4-NIGHT STAY, MONDAY TO FRIDAY 29 SEP TO 3 OCT '25)
Currently, it is booked for a 4-night and 5 days' stay from Monday 29 September to Friday 3 October '25 for a 3-bedroom lodge accommodation (maximum of 6 geusts). You don't have to stay for the entire 4 nights/5 days. You can stay for 2 or 3 nights if you want. (But in such a case, the price will be the same as the per person prices shown in this ad. You won't get any further discount for not staying the whole 4 nights/5 days.)
The dates could be changed. For example, it could be moved to a 3-night stay from Friday to Monday 5 to 8 Sep '25 and to a 2-bedroom lodge accommodation instead. (But that 2-bedroom lodge can have a maximum of 4 people staying. With my current booking of 3-bedroom lodge accommodation, it can have a maximum of 6 people, or if we are 3 people, we can all have our own separate private bedrooms.)
2. PRICES PER PERSON (ACCOMMODATION ONLY)
This 5-star establishment normally costs more for this 4-night break, but I have a discount offer. With the bargain priced applied, the prices for you will depend on how many people join me, like this:
If it is only you and me the two of us, it will be £225 for you (per person).
If total 3 of us (2 people joining me), it will be £150 per person.
If total 4 of us (3 people joining me), it will be £113 per person.
If total 5 of us (4 people joining me), it will be £90 per person.
If total 6 of us (5 people joining me), it will be £75 per person.
The prices shown above is PER PERSON for a 4 nights' stay at a 5 star self-catering lodge accommodation in a forest.
The price shown does not include your travel costs to and from the resort or your food costs.
(So in addition to the prices shown above which is for your per person accommodation, you need to add travel to and from costs for you, also add your food costs, and add optional additional activities cost - kayak, falconry, zip wire, kitesurf, shopping, spending money etc. to budget for this holiday for yourself. You don't have to book and pay for additional activities if you choose not to do those. But you pay for getting there and you pay for your meal costs while on this holiday.)
3. IT COULD BE 2 OR 3 OF US, OR MORE (6 PEOPLE MAXIMUM IN OUR GROUP)
How many of us go on this luxury holiday break with me depends on how many people want to join me. The accommodation is for a maximum of 6 people and it can include children. It can be just you and me, or with the 3rd person additionally, or more in our group, making it to be 4, 5 or 6 of us.
(If you have a child or two that you would like to come together with me and other people in this group, or if you are 2 or more friends or sibling adults, you can contact me. But if you come with children to join me, the per person price will be the same the prices shown in this ad. You won't get any further discount for your children being minors.)
I prefer women travel partners to join me (as I am a woman). Men can be considered, as long as there is at least one more woman travel partner joining me and after I do screening and vetting. (As there are a lot of men – and a few women - online with wrong ideas, like approaching women for dating when the advert was not about that and bothering and pestering advertisers and timewasting.)
4. RESORT / ACCOMMODATION / LOCATION / TRAVEL TO FROM / SLEEPING ARRANGEMENT
This luxury resort is a well known 5 star name establishment with thousands of excellent reviews (you'd probably have heard of it, or maybe you've been there already), somewhere between London, Exeter and Birmingham.
Accommodation is self-catering, and comes with a full kitchen, living room/dining table, bathroom/2nd toilet and outside seating. See photos.
(So we can bring our own food to cook and eat in at home to save on meal costs, or we can eat out.)
This resort is in a peaceful forest with lots of giant, very tall trees and lakes with birds. If you love nature, this break would be ideal. It has a lot of restaurants and shops, and also has many optional activities that we can book, from kayaking and swimming in their huge indoor swimming world with trees to falconry/animals, zip-wire, kitesurfing, cycle-hire, various indoor/outdoor sports and also spa treatments. (These extra activities and spa costs are not included in the per person price shown in this ad, though access to their huge swimming world is included at no extra charge. If you want to book some of those activities with me, then you pay for those. You don't have to do those. I will be booking to do and experience some of their optional outdoor, water and animal activities.)
The lodge has 3 bedrooms. One is a double room (for up to 2 adults) and the other two rooms are twin rooms (2 single beds in each of those two rooms). Hence maximum 6 people in the lodge accommodation. If it was 6 in our group, the last person could sleep on the living room's sofa (as I can bring extra bedding in my car), if you wanted your own, separate bed/sleeping area. Or if you are a woman, you could sleep on the double bed next to me. (As I am a woman.)
I am in London and will drive in my car. If you are in London or near, you could come with me in my car and we share the petrol cost. Or you can make your own way there.
Whoever comes along with me, you can join me for walks in the forest and lakes, swimming in their huge swim world and optional activities, or you can do your own things. We don't have to be together 24 hours. We can give each other some space.
5. ABOUT YOU - NONSMOKERS ONLY
I say again, you must be a complete non-smoker. (This includes electronic cigarettes and recreational substances.) So only 100% non-smoking people reply please. If this is not you, please don't contact me.
Also, people who consider themselves to be 'skint' and therefore they aren't sure whether they can afford a 4-night holiday at a 5 star resort (albeit discounted with a bargain offer), you can pass. (Because, I don't love receiving a lot of negative or discouraging messages from people replying to online adverts like this by starting to say something along the lines of 'Hi, I am not sure whether I can come on this holiday as I have little money...' Instead, I'd rather prefer to receive replies from people who are excited and motivated by my ad, starting their message to me in replying to ads like this by witing something positive along the lines of, 'Hi, I was on a luxury break like this that cost well over £1,000, but your offer is a real fab bargain, I'd love to come and join you and also take a look at additional activities that this lovely sounding resort offers...')
Other than this, anybody is welcome to come with me. People of all heritage, all orientation, all gender and all age welcome. Men please note, this is not a dating advert, so do NOT approach me with such motives. Those doing will be blocked. We will be travel partners and we will be respectful to one another.
6. ABOUT ME (TRAVEL LOVING PROFESSIONAL WOMAN IN LONDON)
As some people will ask, I shall tell you some things about me. I am a professional woman in London with family who is friendly, smiling quietly. (I am not into drunken or rowdy partying. I don't even speak loudly. On the contrary, I don't play loud pop music/aggressive rap music, and I am polite and sweet.) I am neither young nor old. I am very well travelled internationally and also in the UK. (I've been to all 4 countries of the UK, as well as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. - I'd be among the most well travelled people you'd get to meet.) I am someone of an international background. (So if you are the kind of person who is hostile to 'immigrants', though you may make an exception for so-called 'ex-pat' type of immigrants to whom you are friendly, then perhaps you might like to pass.)
I love travelling, to discover new places, or to go on luxury 5 star breaks that I find (I am very good at finding knock down bargains) with discount offers, or beach holidays to swim in the sea and scuba dive, or on activity holidays like walking trails, hiking, salsa dance class holiday break etc.
We could go on this UK break together, and do other, international holidays in future, to Africa, near Asia, Latin America and more.
7. WHAT TO DO NEXT
I think I have covered in this ad pretty much everything you needed to know about this luxury holiday break (except the name and address of the resort which I can tell you after you contact me), and you also get an idea about me as a travel partner.
So what to do now? If interested, you can scroll up and read again the first 4 sentences of this ad and do as it says, with any questions you may have for me. If you do that, you will hear back from me. We then speak and arrange to meet in person, either in London/South East or maybe where you are if I am heading that way.
Thank you wannabe Gumtree travel partners.
