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!

70th Birthday gift

Afternoon tea with champagne for two at this wonderful venue was a delight. The staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The savoury sandwiches and cakes were delicious and the choice of tea was extensive. The decor was tropical and the bone china matched the wallpaper! We will both be celebrating here in the future!

Amazing value for money

Included in the voucher were 2 25 mins spa treatments- we upgraded one for £10 and the treatments were exquisite! Check in to the hotel at 3 but spa facilities access from 9am until 8pm the following day... there alone we got our monies worth. Free room upgrade AND half board (£25 each off the evening meal) was a very pleasant surprise especially as the food was delicious and sustainably sourced. The room was quiet and spacious with lots of luxury extras like slippers, robe, l'or coffee machine. Just a beautiful break away, we will definitely book again
