Hotel Breaks
We've put together some fantastic packages off the traditional tourist track to give you a break with a difference, without compromising on quality or comfort.
Some trips can seem bland and generic as you book into a city centre hotel chain, visit similar shopping areas and enjoy the same gym, leisure and dining facilities. Putting some thought and individuality into your break is very important to us, and we've come up with a great selection of short breaks where you are bound to enjoy something a little bit different.
Where are these breaks?
Where aren't they! We've got over 100 locations for you to pick from including hotels throughout Scotland, some Irish options as well as great getaways within an hour’s drive of London, Birmingham and Manchester. There is also the option to leave the country and head out to Romania! Put together with the personal touch in mind, each break has its own characteristics and will provide you with lasting memories regardless of whether you stay for just one night or enjoy a multiple night break. Experience the countryside, a London hotel break, a gourmet meal for two or stay overnight in a wigwam or tent!
What are the costs?
Our top of the range deluxe five-star break comes in at a competitive price of less than £300, but almost all of our options cost less than £200, with a number under £100. An array of unusual breaks for two people can leave you with change from £100 and offer you a break in a farmhouse, camping outside or in a wigwam in the Scottish borders on the outskirts Dumfries.
What is so different about our breaks?
We've put a lot of thought into these options, matching luxury with imagination to provide you with a couple of memorable days. Take a country break for two and choose from 125 locations covering inns, hotels, guest houses and stately homes where you can enjoy a relaxing break in luxurious surroundings. On a similar theme we have 75 country house escapes to take advantage of.
By looking a little off the beaten track we've found a selection of quality accommodation that can provide you with an enjoyable break away from the daily grind, or some exciting options to make your weekend that bit different. Our gourmet getaways are proving a popular option, allowing you to combine a fantastic meal and accommodation all under the one roof. Check into your hotel, enjoy the quality setting and prepare for a meal with the personal touch from a master chef who gets as much pleasure out of the meal as you will. We've also put together packages offering romantic, castle and beach breaks as well as some really out-there trips to Romania, where you can enjoy tracking wolves and bears or spend a night in their world famous Ice Hotel.
Unusual breaks
As the name suggests, these deals are a little bit different. Bring out the eccentric and adventurous side in you by getting down to a farmhouse, go under canvas in a tent or get along to a caravan park. Whatever option you decide to take up, the clear air and relaxation is certain to provide you with a memorable stay.
Countryside escapes
We've handpicked over 200 locations for you with prices ranging from around £100 to £200. Enjoy a great taste of country living, revel in the timeless factor as you unwind in a characteristic hotel or inn from some of the most historic and appealing locations in the country. Names like ‘The Old Cider Guesthouse’ in Somerset leap out of the page, as does ‘Dumbleton Hall’ in Warwickshire. These great breaks allow you to take the weekend at your own pace and discover some brilliant, frequently overlooked holiday breaks almost on your own doorstep.
Special overnights
For an overnight stay that's a little different, we have put together a handful of options. You can choose from an overnight hotel break, gourmet getaway, romantic trip for two, a one night classic short break and finally a one night deluxe short break for two. Each of these options is tailored towards each customer’s specific needs, with lots of quality choices available across the country. Wherever you are, whatever your preference we've got something special to match your requirements.
Special selections
Bournemouth's Urban Beach Hotel and the Ruthin Castle offer two great contrasting options. The award winning Urban Beach Hotel has quickly established itself in the competitive Bournemouth hotel market. With its stylish design oozing quality, nothing is left to chance as they ensure that you have a special break from the moment you arrive.
With a gym and bistro designed to the highest standards you'll want for nothing during your break - the tastefully designed rooms include flat screen televisions, DVD players and of course free Internet access throughout. The bistro isn't to be missed either, with the menu changing daily to include the best local produce put together by a team of chefs whose passion for food is evident in every dish. Naturally, there is a splash of wine thrown in for good measure! As the name suggests, the Urban Beach is five minutes from the sea and also offers quick access to the New Forest and Devon's variety of local landmarks.
The atmospheric Ruthin Castle Hotel has a medieval motif mixed with the last word in 21st century luxury - champagne and flowers are presented on arrival as you begin your romantic stay. With a choice of restaurants to pick from and a lively bar, you'll find everything you need on your doorstep. With chefs used to serving banquets, your meal will be something special with carefully selected produce matched with the highest quality foods to ensure a dining experience to remember.
London calling
We've not forgotten the nation’s greatest attraction - the city of London. Matching some exceptional hotels to the incredible shows available in the capital’s West End, you won't use up too much shoe leather as you network between hotel and theatre. Save yourself the hassle of matching your theatre ticket with hotel availability and select from our packages.
With the selection of short breaks you don't have to look anywhere else. Book with confidence, knowing that every detail has been checked out before you arrive to make your break special. Throughout the country we've searched high and low for quality and matched together carefully selected activities to provide you with a hassle-free break to tick all your boxes.
