Short Breaks in the South East

Whether you decide on a night away or a longer stay, the South East of England is a place, which boasts some of the very best attractions throughout the UK. Whatever the weather, there's always something to do which will satisfy the whole family. For more inspiring days out, you could delve into the wonderfully colourful history of the area and visit impressive forts, historic houses, castles or the famous London Dungeons.

Why not hop on an open top bus and take in the sights of the Capital such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament? With a variety of zoos, wildlife parks, museums and guided tours the whole family can be entertained. For more of a romantic getaway, you could live a life of luxury in a stunning city centre hotel, take a trip to the West End and enjoy a night at the theatre or wine and dine until your hearts content and show your loved one just how much they really do mean to you.

The South East is the perfect setting for any number of occasions, or simply a place where you can enjoy quality time with your nearest and dearest. Booking a short break with us will ensure you'll take advantage of all of this, at a great price too!

Two night stay

Me, my wife and our dog had a two night stay at the BQA in Thornhill at the end of January. We had a wonderful time. On arrival we were greeted by Ralph who offered us the choice of two different rooms. We chose room 11 at the rear of the hotel where there was parking right outside our door. It also made it easier to take our dog walkies. We had dinner in the restaurant both nights. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The £50 voucher towards our meal on the first night helped towards the overall cost. The staff were helpful and friendly to us and our dog. This made our stay very relaxing, and we would love to return in the future. Our room was lovely and clean. Spacious room and bathroom, with clean towels and coffee and teas available. Thanks again to Ralph and his team for making our stay so welcoming and relaxing.

A very comfortable stay

We were given a room in the annexe next to The Malthouse, as we'd noticed they have a lot of live music. The room was perfect - comfortable and warm enough with a nice ensuite bathroom. Plenty of choice at breakfast in the main hotel, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Ironbridge is a pretty town with river walks and plenty to explore. Many thanks for a relaxing break!
