Brilliant stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Hatton Court Hotel in November 2025. The staff were friendly , polite and very helpful, the bedrooms were spacious, the food was very well presented and it was delicious. The deal we had was for 2 nights' stay with breakfast included on both mornings and £25 towards 1 evenings' meal. Afternoon tea was also included. As the restaurant was so good, we actually ate at the hotel on the second night too. Although the hotel is a little remote, there are some great views of the town and surrounding countryside. We visited Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Cathedral too. Well worth a visit. Looking forward to our next visit. We highly recommend The Hatton Court Hotel.

Lovely little gem

Booked this as a gift for my husband and we both went together. Beautiful pod with its own fishing peg, clean and warm and so comfy, small fridge freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster and a little bit of storage space was absolutely perfect just for the night or possibly 2. Met the owners and they were absolutely lovely and really helpful couldn’t ask for more! Toilet block was a very short walk away with a little washing up station they were absolutely immaculate. Would definitely recommend.

Fab Spring Break

A lovely stay at The Imperial Hotel in Torquay. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a seaview suite and had lovely sunshine for the entire stay. We got up onto Dartmoor, walked to a Tor and met some ponies and also went to the theatre to see a show and enjoyed some fab seafood in a local restaurant. A great couple of days.

One Night Memorable Break for Two

The Leonardo Waterfront Brighton

This is a really lovely hotel, based close to the beach, pier and restaurants. The hotel has a lovely restaurant/breakfast room which overlooks the beach and pier. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious and well equipped. The hotel reception staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a swimming pool and gym. The taxis stop outside the hotel and cost to the station is approx £7. The Brighton Sightseeing bus is just across the road, also has a discount for some attractions. Would really recommend this hotel.
