Two Night Hotel Break for Two

Amazing trip

Tenby did not disappoint and the Broadmead boutique B&B was lovely. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and the best cooked breakfast ever. Staff were friendly and bent over backwards to help. We could not have hoped for better weather and the icing on the cake was that I was able to visit my old teacher training college (now part of Cardiff university) on the way home. I had not been near it since I left in 1982 and it was lovely to see very little had changed. Our daughter had bought us the two night stay for Christmas and it was definitely a great choice.

Great option for lovers of Downton Abbey

This was my second trip to Highclere Castle in 8 months, but this time in the very capable hands of Fiona (Brit Tours) and a lovely driver (Alex) who kept us entertained for the duration of the trip. The village of Bampton is definitely worth the visit and Highclere Castle most certainly will not disappoint
