Are you dreaming of packing your bags and escaping for something a bit more exotic? Why not chase the sun with a European minibreak for two? Whether you dream of alfresco dining, artistic and architectural heritage or sun-drenched beaches, our short breaks offer the perfect escape. Soak up world-class culture and cuisine in Paris, embark on a bear tracking trip in Romania or race round the world-famous Nürburgring racetrack in Germany. The world is your oyster!

Take a Trip to France

Home to the highest mountain in Western Europe, fine food and awe-inspiring art, France is a destination well worth exploring. Maybe you’ll bask in the sun in Cannes, wander round the artsy city of Nantes or escape for a Paris extravaganza! Or, if you’re an aspiring chef, why not cook up a storm with a six day cooking school holiday in Southern France?

Port Lympne Reserve & afternoon tea

We had a great day out and afternoon tea in the Long Room was excellent. A lot of the animals were not visible on our safari which was probably due to the hot weather

Two Night Memorable Break for Two

Perfect day!

Everything was great and we had fabulous weather too. Comfy seating, great panoramic views and the food was delicious. The staff were absolutely charming. This experience is so well thought out. I was even impressed with the place mats which were not only non slip but were magnetic as well to stop cutlery from sliding around. You don’t have a commentary but you have nice background music and if you want more details about the route and landmarks you just scan the QR code. Couldn’t fault this experience at all.

Camellia Hotel

The Camelia Hotel in Southend was a welcoming and excellent place to stay. I would highly recommend it, especially for its outstanding restaurant, which offers high-quality dining for hotel guests.
Two Night Deluxe Getaway for Two
Dave · 17-06-2026

Lovely family atmosphere

Just had a lovely couple of days here. You really feel the relaxed atmosphere when you go in and Nicky and Mark the owners are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are nice, tidy and clean with all you need for a short break. The building itself is quirky and well maintained with lots of nice little touches that keep you looking out of interest, much nicer than these large sterile modern hotels. Breakfast was good and we had a great evening in the bar with Mark and some other guests, a real "must" to get the background and feeling of the place. We would happily go back to see them when the opportunity arises.
