With restrictions continually changing, it can be hard to navigate through this new 'normality'. Thankfully, staycations are here to save the day. Many staycationers are taking to their motorcycles for roadtrips throughout the UK's beautiful countryside. Aurora B&B and Limetree House are experts at anticipating the needs of their motorcycle guests. They're here to help you figure out how to provide for the biking community (page 14). Also here to help are the Dornoch Castle Hotel, Station Hotel, and the Craigellachie Hotel. These three hospitality providers are experts in all things whisky and know exactly how you can get your business involved with the whisky industry (page 6).

Maybe you want to offer something unique and intriguing for your guests, making their staycation extra special. Checkout the wonderfully quirky and one-of-a-kind rooms and lodges at The Bell in Ticehurst. Their exterior lodges are the perfect getaway grottos and will add a bit of magic to anyone's staycation (page 30). Also on the rise is the use of mobile marketing. We've serialised another section of the 'Complete Guide to Hotel Marketing', an ebook by our partners, SiteMinder.com (page 28).
