EXPERIENCING a five-star hotel, a luxury retreat or even a heritage castle is always a special indulgence, but when these places double as the filming locations of a favourite series, they become even more desirable. 'Set-jetting' — travelling to destinations seen on screen — has grown into a phenomenon, offering travellers the chance to immerse themselves in the worlds that captivated them. It's one thing to enjoy the comfort, elegance and exclusivity of a luxury stay, but stepping into a location that has played a starring role on television adds an extra layer of intrigue.
