Welcome to Winter at GuestHouse – a season of quiet beauty, crisp days, and restorative escapes. Winter in our towns and cities has a slower, more soulful rhythm, and we’re looking forward to welcoming you.
Whether you’re drawn to Winter-in-the-city or Winter-by-the-sea, we’ve curated thoughtful itineraries, local favourites, and comforting experiences to help you make the most of the season. From bracing coastal walks to cosy corners and candlelit evenings, winter is full of moments that feel grounding and quietly magical.
Our seasonal offers are designed to help you embrace the best of winter. From exclusive savings on stylish stays to indulgent packages that pair supper, spa, and scenery, our limited-time winter offers make it easy to plan a getaway that feels nourishing, unhurried, and special from the very beginning.
Take a flick through Issue No. 6 of the GuestHouse newspaper - your inside look at the stories, people, and places that make our hotels so special. From Winter escapes and spa days to local art, events, and inspiring partnerships, this issue is packed with reasons to explore, relax, and reconnect with the towns and cities. Whether you're a returning guest or discovering us for the first time, we hope you find a little joy in every page.
Everyone’s welcome. Everyone’s happier here.
– The GuestHouse Team
AUTUMN WARMER
Serves two
A cosy, gently spiced chai latte with a little indulgent swirl of sweetness - the kind of drink that invites you to slow right down.
1. Brew 3 bags of Masala chai in 600ml hot water with 1 tbsp sugar, steeping for 5 minutes.
2. Spoon 2 tbsp condensed milk into the bottom of each heatproof glass.
3. Heat 200ml brewed chai with 100ml milk, steaming or warming in a pan while whisking to create a light foam.
4. Gently pour the warm milk mixture over the back of a spoon so it settles on top of the condensed milk.
5. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
CINNAMON SILK
Serves two
A silky, chai-infused gin sour with a soft citrus lift and a ribbon of warming spice. A perfect companion for winter evenings.
1. Add to a shaker: 100ml gin (Dockyard Gin is our favourite, 80ml cooled chai mixture (from the Autumn Warmer, 50ml lemon juice, 35ml sugar syrup, 2 egg whites.
2. Shake vigorously with ice.
3. Strain out the ice, then shake again until smooth and silky.
4. Double strain into chilled glasses.
5. Garnish with orange peel, stem ginger or a cinnamon sprinkle.
