The pandemic has altered for good our way of life – particularly the way we work. As offices began shutting down during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, people took to work from home, meeting over video conferences.
However, work from home has started taking a toll on people’s mental well-being. With international destinations out of bound, many are preferring to mix business with pleasure and taking short trips to nearby places, where they continue to work while enjoying their quick break.
Keeping in mind this new culture of workcation, Alexandra Bed and Breakfast — a 30-room bed and breakfast situated at the heart of Hemel Hempstead — has opened its doors for professionals seeking a few days of peace and quiet. Packed with features, this quaint bed and breakfast establishment will make you want to stay for all the right reasons.
