Short Breaks in the South East

Great gift. Lots of places to choose from

The welcome and service was good and friendly. Good food. Actors brilliant with interesting twists. Good accommodation with delightful 4 footed ling eared neighbours. A few practical points: Entrance sign on the road hidden behind trees on inside bend - no time to turn left safely. Instructions on use of shower need to be provided, particularly with warning that water can become scalding hot.

We stayed here recently for a date night. Lovely hotel. Very comfortable

An excellent overnight stay in a beautiful boutique hotel with great food. A real treat. Highly recommend!

The cathedral gate hotel in Canterbury was amazing. Staff were lovely. Hotel rooms were clean and beds were great. It is in the heart of town but not noisy ans it was all so quirky. Photo from just outside our room

Excellent.

What a wonderful experience. Great Hotel. Lovely afternoon tea followed by 3 course evening meal as a murder mystery played out around us; great fun. Peaceful night followed by a marvellous breakfast.

A really fun gift for a big birthday from my children. Afternoon tea was lovely. The Murder Mystery was very well done and we had great fun with the guests on our table trying to work out who did it. Alas we were wrong. The Murder 57 Company were excellent. The dinner was fine, although the main could have been warmer. Likewise breakfast was not very hot. The hotel was nice. We stayed for two extra nights before the event. Our room was looking a little on the tired side and the bathroom certainly requires a refurbishment, bath panel cracked, a cracked tile and mould on the grouting. Also a crack in the sink. It took us back to the 1980's, when we bought our first house - colour of bathroom suite ivory. A small wardrobe with five hangers for two people. We had to lay our coats on the table. No double glazing which meant the windows were running in condensation. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Sorry we didn't take any photos. Overall a very good experience. We would do it again. Now we have to book our theatre break in London.

We had a wonderful stay at Sopwell House - the leisure facilities were plentiful with a pool, 2 jacuzzis, steam room and sauna. We got lucky with the weather and sat out on the sun loungers on the terra e an enjoyed the view over drinks. Dinner in the Brasserie was incredible and staff were attentive and presented us with an anniversary surprise - highly recommend!

Facilities are amazing! Everywhere is spotlessly clean. All staff have been so polite and helpful. My partner and I have loved every minute of our stay.
