Let’s be honest—we’re all a little too attached to our screens. Whether it’s checking emails before breakfast, scrolling endlessly through social media, or binge-watching one more episode (OK, maybe two), it’s easy to spend more time online than off. That’s where a digital detox holiday comes in—an opportunity to switch off your devices and switch on to real life.

Why Take a Break from Screens?

Constant notifications, blue light, and the pressure to always be “on” can really wear you down. Sleep gets worse, stress creeps in, and real-world connections often take a back seat to whatever’s happening online. A digital detox helps you hit pause and reset.

When you unplug, you’ll likely notice:

  • You sleep better
  • You feel more present and less anxious
  • You have more meaningful conversations
  • You rediscover the simple joy of doing… nothing (in the best way)

What Actually Happens on a Digital Detox Holiday?

A digital detox holiday doesn’t mean you’re sitting in a silent room with no tech (unless that’s your thing!). It’s about replacing screen time with real experiences—walks in nature, trying new sports, reading an actual book, or getting stuck into a creative project with your hands instead of your thumbs.

It’s your chance to slow down, clear your head, and reconnect—with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you.

Our Resort: A Great Place to Unplug

If you’re ready to give a digital detox a go, The Manor and Ashbury—is the perfect setting.

Whether you’re into peaceful crafting sessions, outdoor sports, family time, or just lounging by the pool, there’s plenty to do that doesn’t involve a screen. Want a game of tennis in the morning and a pottery class in the afternoon? Go for it. Prefer a round of golf followed by a soak in the spa? Totally your call.

The best part? You don’t have to choose between locations. Guests are welcome to use all the facilities across both The Manor and Ashbury. There’s loads of space, fresh air, and activity to fill your days—and zero pressure to check your phone.

One Last Thing…

You don’t need to throw your phone in a drawer forever (though it wouldn’t hurt for a day or two!). A digital detox holiday is simply a reminder that the best connections don’t require Wi-Fi. Sometimes, a little less screen time can mean a lot more life.

So, if you’re craving a break from the digital world, come and experience how good it feels to unplug, unwind, and rediscover the real one.
