we plan to add many articles of interest to this particular travel niche We've devoted an entire area in BarclayWeb to health and fitness travel because hotels are not always the best choice for health-conscious travelers. In fact, travel abroad can be extremely stressful for those on restricted diets (dieters, heart patients, diabetics, etc.) especially considering the wide array of tempting restaurants spread throughout foreign cities. That's not to mention vegetarians and others on regimes where appropriate restaurants may not be located close to their accommodations. And for those with regular workout schedules, travel posed the problem of an interruption in routine. This no longer has to be the case. As noted in publications like Walking, Jenny Craig's Body Health and Vegetarian Times, Barclay International Group has the perfect solution for health and fitness-conscious travelers, or those on restricted diets—apartment/villa/cottage accommodations in all sizes and geared for all budget types—and all with their own kitchens! Plus, all accommodations are spacious enough to permit in-room exercise, while several properties, like Grosvenor House and Dolphin Square in London, and the Grand Amsterdam in Holland, also offer full health club facilities with indoor heated swimming pools. In fact, the Villa St. Honore in Paris offers full spa facilities to those who seek the ultimate in pampering! Of course, there are many other benefits to staying in self-catering accommodations, aside from having a place for dieters to prepare special recipes. Hotels rooms are, for the most part, small and impersonal. But The Barclay International Group (BIG) collection will leave travelers wondering if they ever left their own front door. They will be greeted by name by everyone from the housekeeping staff to the front desk clerk. They will enjoy the luxury of entertaining or working in their own living room and then later, sinking back into an overstuffed sofa and relaxing, surrounded by the comforts and charm of home. For those interested in touring the European countryside by bicycle or by foot, our cottages in England and our villas in Ireland, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain offer an excellent base from which to explore. Many of these properties offer their own pools and tennis courts or are situated close to these facilities as well as opportunities for horseback riding, sailing, golf, skiing and other sports activities.
