Tranquil Surrounds

I heard an advert on the radio recently where they were plugging somewhere to stay and they praised the "tranquil surrounds".

I'm sure they meant the "tranquil surroundings".

A definition of the noun "surround" is "a thing that forms a border or edging around an object".

A fireplace has surrounds. Some places to stay have tranquil surroundings.
